Even a fierce tiger will not devour its own cubs.

Madam Yuan actually sent people out to spread rumors that the prospective empress had abandoned her birth mother and disregarded sisterly ties.

Before she could even begin, however, she discovered that the townspeople were already discussing how Yuan Peipei had long since severed ties with the Yuan family. They criticized the Yuan family's favoritism and their exploitation of Yuan Peipei with tones of utter contempt. Public notices had even been posted, proclaiming the truth to the entire world.

Furious, she returned to the Prince Xuan Mansion.

"I have no idea who gave that idiot such an idea, beating me to it and posting—"

A towering stack of rice straw sat in the courtyard, with Auntie Zhao and Uncle Zhao taking turns chopping it over the course of two or three days. Once the rice straw was finished, the alfalfa gathered by Yaya’s parents would be ready to be chopped next. Aside from the newly harvested alfalfa, most of the grass that needed chopping was nearly done.

Lin Shu laughed along with the others, though her peripheral vision occasionally drifted toward Princess Changze, who was seated diagonally above her.

"I'm sorry, but Fanfan has never mentioned you in front of me," Jin Fugui said bluntly.

Bailuo smiled. Seeing Baiya come to a halt, a look of delight crossed his face, and he stepped straight into the arena.

Come to think of it, aside from sword techniques, he hadn't learned any internal martial arts yet. For some reason, his master had stubbornly refused to let him learn inner energy.

Cole gave a slight nod. While the Spurs' roster aligned most closely with his philosophy, the presence of a legendary coach like Gregg Popovich made taking over the head coaching position an impossibility, and he had no desire to serve as an assistant coach.

Today, Tian-Di Restaurant was trending all over the social feeds of Tongshan County. Patrons waiting to taste the food formed two long lines. Shen Peng, the owner of Tian-Di Restaurant, was so busy running around that his heels practically touched the back of his head, sweating profusely, while Jin Fugui pitched in to help.

"There is nothing wrong with either of our bodies; it's simply the Spurs' customary rotation for rest," Kawhi Leonard said indifferently while holding his phone.

It seemed she would have to resort to spellcasting. Continuing to walk like this not only wasted time but was also exhausting, with not the slightest benefit in sight.

What was even more terrifying was that two days prior, two swordsmen had inexplicably started fighting outside the city. Amidst their intersecting sword qi, quite a few martial artists had been accidentally injured by the energy unleashed during their fierce duel.

Furthermore, in this era without skyscrapers, to accommodate one million residents, just how massive would the city have to be?

Yet he felt a measure of anxiety inside, because Dighton had previously made an agreement with this princess that she would only lend her name and would never actually be brought out to meet guests. If he went to ask now, he feared the princess would not agree.

Tsukiyama Shuu was also wailing endlessly. After all, the Devil Ape's destructive power was simply too formidable; taking even a casual punch from him to the body was enough to make one vomit blood in agony.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng, who was driving, was suppressing a laugh the entire way. He had just been the one to drop Gu Huazhu off to pick someone up, having promised to help Ye Jiuxiao out in a matter of minutes, only to end up having to be carried out himself.

Qin Shou distinctly felt his personal karma increasing. However, this karma was no burden to him; rather, it served as a source of power that he instantly refined and absorbed.

"It's a deal! Fuhu! Keep watch! Don't let those two scoundrels, Clairvoyant and Wind-Follower, overhear us, or the three of us will be struck by lightning every single day!" Ji Dian shouted, and Fuhu immediately leaped up onto the roof.

Manager Yoshimura was initially somewhat surprised, but ultimately explained the matter of the energy origin stones to Shang with a gentle expression.

Ancient Buddha Dipankara naturally understood this reasoning; saying this was merely a way to probe Shen Gongbao.

Watching Bluejay pacing back and forth anxiously inside the walk-in closet, Leo desperately wished he could pretend this wasn't his normally decisive and iron-fisted master.

Therefore, how could someone from an ordinary, or perhaps even impoverished, background manage to enter a place where even they couldn't gain access? Unless someone had brought him along. And the person who brought him must either have coincidentally been a wealthy friend of his, or someone with a relationship even closer than friendship.

The expression on the young demon's face grew increasingly unsightly. The opponent was provoking him, and from Yang Chen's actions, he could readily guess what was happening.
