69 Princess Changping
Speaking of our generation's sovereign of the Southern Yue Kingdom, Lu Xuanjun, the Empress Dowager also harbored a bellyful of resentment. In his earlier years, the Emperor was a devoted romantic who preferred beauties over the realm. Had it not been for the Empress Dowager's regency, this empire would likely have changed hands long ago.
Hearing the consecutive cries of two infants from outside, they knew Dongfang Ling'er had given birth to twins, but upon hearing the midwife shout that there was yet another, they stood frozen in utter astonishment. Never had they imagined that Dongfang Ling'er was carrying not twins, but triplets.
"What did you say?" A smile still lingered on Liu Yuli's face, but the depths of her eyes had turned utterly ice-cold, an expression that appeared profoundly bizarre.
"Thank you!" After the couple escorted me out, they turned back inside for only a few minutes before emerging once more, with Qiu'er leading twenty bounty-hunting guards under his command.
Those matters pondered upon previously now grew cautious, and those absurd notions vanished into thin air in a single instant.
The owner of the previously plundered spatial ring had not yet completely perished, so it could not be used temporarily. The only option was to slay the man in black before them first and claim the spatial ring upon his person.
Before them lay a forest—a black forest. All the trees appeared withered and scorched, transformed entirely into black, dead wood. Naturally, this was not the most terrifying aspect; what was most horrifying was that hanging from some of the trunks were human corpses or animal carcasses, while others had people bound to them, their states of life and death unknown.
He had investigated this fellow Li Daxun—a military family with some foundation back home. Would such people easily accept a widow with an orphan? The thought of her meeting another man's parents made him boil with rage; the thought of her and the child being looked down upon infuriated him just as much. In short, no matter how he looked at it, he was deeply displeased.
Liu Ruoyan glanced back at Xu Wanrou, knowing full well that Xu Wanrou was a willful and arrogant person. In the past, she had frequently usurped credit while by Baili Yi's side, and she wished to seize this opportunity to mock her.
Watching two handsome, graceful men walk in, several imperial concubines were momentarily stunned. Once they recovered their senses, they all quickly reined in their postures.
This was Baby-5's first time experiencing Lao G's speed at close range—she only felt a blur before her eyes, completely unable to trace his movement, while her own blade sliced entirely through empty air.
So that was it. I wondered why there was no one guarding this place; as it turned out, there exists a kind of aura-like pressure here. For ordinary cultivators or those whose strength lies below the Divine Emperor realm, a single step near this city gate would result in being directly repelled at best, or instantly gravely injured and killed by this pressure at worst.
Zhao Fengnian had died in a car accident, allowing him to escape legal punishment. None of the male comrades wanted to set foot in his office, let alone Huang Xiaoli.
Lao G gave a gentle cough, suppressing a certain association deep within his mind, and shifted his gaze to the 'Yes', silently fixing his eyes upon it.
Regarding Hu Fei's proposal, Cao Jianmin did not find it surprising; in fact, it could be said to have been well within his expectations. Hu Fei was a smart man and a leader with a strong sense of responsibility, so proposing these handling opinions was entirely logical.
Cheng Long, the political commissar of the military sub-district, remained silent. After all, this was a local affair, but everyone knew that should a vote be called, he would inevitably be Hu Fei's staunch supporter.
Fang Guo'an was apologizing to Ouyang Zhiyuan, yet deep within his heart, he harbored intense resentment toward him.
He didn't require Qin Ze's standards to be exceptionally high, as long as they remained passable. A few days ago, it was rumored that the founder of the Heavenly Black Cat was still practicing Tai Chi; regardless of the actual skill level, the onlookers below were full of applause.
The long coastline of the Huaxia region would become the ultimate nightmare, as no one could predict where the Japanese players would land. The historical rampant scourge of the Ming Dynasty's wokou was destined to be reenacted within the game.
To say the precious mirror was floating was not entirely accurate; at this moment, the movement suggested the mirror was being propped up by a ray of brilliant light, and this light seemed to sprout directly from the ground where the mirror had just rested. Everyone's attention instantly shifted from the precious mirror to the beam of light supporting it beneath.
Watching several insect-like creatures get batted away once more and crash against the stone wall—two of which twitched twice, expelled a stream of grayish-white fluid from their bellies, and then fell completely still—Ye Zhu felt a surge of confidence. Dragging his long saber, he waited for the remaining creatures to close in once again.
As his figure suddenly felt weightless, under the sweep of his soul power detection, Yun Yu's expression abruptly shifted drastically. Protective radiance flared brilliantly within his body, and simultaneously, he unleashed the power of an invisibility talisman he had long prepared and kept concealed in his hand.
Furthermore, drawing upon the robotic technology of the Terminator world, the various bizarre technologies of the One Piece world, the genetic bloodline limits brought from the Naruto world, the mutant lineages of the X-Men world, and various other bloodlines from the Marvel universe...
"Shut your mouth!" Dugu Chunyu gave Lei Dong no chance to explain. "You—you all conspired to bully Daxue! None of you are good people!" With that, she hugged Daxue once more and wept bitterly.
Yang Jian's opponent was a man of similar age, and a single glance into his eyes revealed him to be a ruthless individual. Yet this fierce man also froze for a split second upon catching sight of Yang Jian; clearly, he recognized him as well. Encountering someone even more ruthless than himself meant this battle would truly be a hard-fought one.
