Volume 1, Chapter 23: Innocence

"What exactly is the truth?!" Ning Yu asked urgently.

Consort Xian and Ning Moxue felt their hearts leap into their throats.

Nurse Zhou’s eyes were vacant; she glanced toward the open hall, then lowered her head in a daze. Her voice trembled as she said, "The Grand Princess... she does not have that foul disease!"

All three were stunned.

She never imagined that the person she had intended to wait for in Xiangyang would be here, and that something extraordinary seemed to have occurred.

He had originally assumed that the Nine-Tails would be the most difficult beast to capture, but the information Black Zetsu provided caught him off guard.

In normal times, there would always be people scrambling to curry favor, racking their brains for ways to get close to Lady Liu.

Suddenly, lightning flashed. Arcs of electricity danced and flickered, weaving themselves into a suit of armor across Aldo’s body.

It was an onslaught, attack after attack, each one more relentless than the last. It was a rhythm of pure ruthlessness, designed to instill a sense of total despair.

Since Consort Shu had finally shown her true colors, they had to seize this opportunity to expose the fox for what she really was.

"Fine, fine, fine—so I am shameless! Since you have already insulted me, I might as well be shameless once more." As he spoke, he reached out to grab Shui Yiyi.

That evening, everyone held a banquet. The God’s Guard, representing the people of the Sky Island, and the Shandians sat together, though a sense of awkwardness lingered between them.

The Crown Prince’s attendance was largely out of consideration for Qing’er, so naturally, she had to come out to accompany him.

Both numbers were significant to her, yet they were both wrong! Jessica stared with wide, speechless eyes, glaring resentfully at Kim Seong-han. She had thought he would be romantic, but this left her feeling both disappointed and helpless.

To survive in the Wasteland, having one's own base is essential; it is beneficial for both storing supplies and seeking refuge.

Then came the sound of Fu Ziwei calling for his parents. He had truly awakened. The crowd swarmed around him, and sure enough, Fu Ziwei was already locked in a tearful embrace with the elderly couple, their emotions too intense to settle for a long time.

After thirty minutes of pushing a cart around the grocery store, they hadn't bought a single ingredient, but they had managed to stock up on drinks and alcohol.

Heh, Situ Qianmeng was overthinking it. This win might be the last one, unless Lin Bafang somehow gained the power of foresight again.

Gu Xiyun’s expression was hideous and frantic; deep within her eyes lay a profound sense of jealousy and resentment, fueled by an unwillingness to accept defeat.

Gu Xiyun had expected Mother Lu to ask more questions about her relationship with Lu Qingtian, but to her disappointment, Madam Lu only responded with a flat, indifferent acknowledgment.

With a long, lingering sigh, Abe Seigen bent down to pick up the teacup from the floor, his left hand trembling slightly. Although the Nation of Neon had a population of over two hundred million, if they could not communicate with the Sea Clan and could not surrender, those capable of fighting would not even amount to one-tenth of the total.

A physician must have a benevolent heart. Those who truly practice medicine should never be driven by money. From antiquity to the present—from Bian Que to Hua Tuo, from Hua Tuo to Sun Simiao, and from Sun Simiao to Li Shizhen—all these physicians whom Tang Qiuzhen revered as supreme sages placed "virtue" above all else when healing the sick.

Perhaps due to a lack of focus, excessive haste, or a refusal to submit to him, some opened fire the moment they saw him raise his hand, while others only reacted after everyone else had finished, firing their weapons in a rush.

He dragged Luo Yuanyuan onto the bed with brutal force and began to tear at her clothes with his head bowed.

He had witnessed a scene where a traitor was surrounded and slaughtered by living beings, left bloodied and dying after enduring horrific torture. He had no intention of meeting such an end.
