Chapter 57 I Do Not Mind

Prince Xuan's Mansion, Qinghe Courtyard.

Yuan Jinjin lay awake all night.

Whenever she thought of Prince Xuan holding two delicate new concubines in his arms, her heart filled with bitter hatred, making it impossible for her to sleep.

The next day, two concubines were added to Prince Xuan's Mansion, both assigned separate courtyards and served by personal attendants.

Upon hearing this news, Yuan Jinjin's vision went black, and she fainted on the spot.

At the entrance of Prince Xuan's Mansion, Duan Shuangshuang and Prince Xuan were about to board a carriage to attend the imperial flower-viewing banquet in the palace when a servant hurried over.

"Th—Then why don't you come out now? We can just have lunch together." Gu Weiwei suddenly regretted her decision somewhat; if they ate lunch together, she would probably be too nervous to swallow a single bite.

First Madam Jing was well aware of her own condition. Without a miraculous elixir or the intervention of a supreme master, she was completely beyond saving.

The Emperor had promised compensation, and true to his word, early the next morning, Yu Dahai led a group of attendants to deliver the imperial rewards.

When Gu Ning said this, it was not out of a lack of concern for Leng Shaoting's safety, but rather because seeking vengeance was something they had already deemed imperative long before they ever met Jing Yunyao.

He felt that being certain Nan Xi liked him was simply too wonderful a feeling; the anxious ups and downs and the constant fear of losing her that he had experienced over the past few days were finally cured.

Lin Zhi suddenly realized that her relationship with Xingyue was not based on the equality she shared with trees, nor on the trees' submission to her.

Wu Xin glanced through the rearview mirror at Yu Yizhi, who was lost in her own thoughts, and felt a trace of helplessness, but decided to let it be—as long as she was happy, that was all that mattered.

Jingkong caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye of Cheng Mengyu trembling slightly. An involuntary shudder rippled through his heart, and he subconsciously slowed down, steering the car to pull over by the side of the road.

Because she was selfish and narrow-minded, she never felt she was in the wrong for bullying others, nor did she view her current plight as karmic retribution; instead, she continued to blame everyone else, believing that even when she bullied them, they had no right to retaliate.

Just as Cheng Mengyu heard Jingkong say he was immobilized and wanted to step forward to see what was wrong, Jingkong called out and stopped her.

The Li family's sole Emperor-realm expert, who had lived for ten thousand years and had suffered damage to his foundational source not long ago, knew he did not have many years left to live and had no choice but to retreat.

Master, are you doing well? Your disciple misses you so much. Chen Feng cried out in his heart, his face already streaming with tears before he even realized it.

During this period, he had gained a certain understanding of Nicole. Knowing that she had attained the title of Asia's top diva in the entertainment industry just two years after her debut, he became even more convinced that Nicole had climbed to the top through unspoken rules.

The blue light circled around Fairy Xiao for a while, resembling a collector's eyes appraising his own prized artifact.

Caught completely off guard, Zhang Tianyang's mental energy was blasted into smithereens. Although he severed the connection in time, the aftermath of the explosion still caused a violent churning within his sea of consciousness, accompanied by terrifying backlash. If Zhang Tianyang had not forcefully suppressed the surging turbulence, it likely would have turned everything upside down.

The cold, icy sword light appeared exceptionally horrifying against the dim, hazy sky. Giving the prophet virtually no time to hesitate, the white light wove into a web of swords, piercing through the thick and oppressive air like a thunderbolt as it closed in directly on the prophet.

"Since the demand is high, I have to give it a try even if it's a stretch. What if it works?" Wang Nuo said with absolute certainty.

Just as the two of them prepared to step forward and investigate, the seal in the void burst open violently, and a surging wave of energy swept across all directions. Under their horrified gazes, a figure clad in black materialized directly into this realm.

The very moment she turned and walked away slowly, she felt a cool minty breeze brush against her ear, as if something was lightly nibbling at her earlobe. That seemingly cold and aloof man's voice carried an intensely bewitching and evil allure.

He picked up the long blade in his hand once more. The wounds from which blood continuously gushed out widened again, and the stark, white bones became faintly visible.
