Volume One, Chapter 86: Failing Even at This Simple Task

Ji Xiaofu’s voice trembled slightly. “It doesn’t seem to be because of the cold weather. I just added another jacket, but I still feel so cold.”

Yu He chimed in, “Exactly, exactly, I feel the same way.”

At this time, nothing major was happening at court. Whether Qin Tian attended or not hardly mattered.

“Where are you headed, my lady?” The old butler watched as the young master started another fight and no longer entertained hope of persuading the lady to intervene.

Jiang Xia didn’t think much of it; it was just a song, after all. While it could stir up some memories, that was all—it remained nothing more than a song in the end.

One was naturally Tao Kan, Tao Shixing, but the other was not Zhou Zha, Zhou Xuanji. The imperial order from Jiankang arrived in Yangxian, and Zhou Zha submitted a memorial refusing the appointment, adamant not to obey. Thus, they were forced to select another.

A warm current poured in through Ye Zheng’s crown, flowing through his entire body, bringing an indescribable comfort.

Wang Hao’s words made a complicated expression flicker across Fang Bing’s face. He thought of Wang Hao’s style and felt at a loss—this investment was so laissez-faire: earning money was irrelevant, as long as he was happy.

Back in the day, when Divine Reversal was alive, as the emperor of the fierce beasts, he dined daily on innate treasures and drank from primordial roots. If hungry, he’d open his mouth and swallow a chunk of earth’s veins whole, and it would simply vanish.

Another experiment failed—another explosion during the mixing process! Failure was nothing new. Taiyi never expected instant success.

“When Wanhai Bay is promoted to a C-level city and development stabilizes, I’ll take a vacation to a place I’ve always wanted to visit. That place is a dream destination for simulation experts.” Wang Luodong looked up at the starry sky.

Wang Hao was silent for a moment, then nodded lightly and said something that nearly made Elder Yan leap up. Upon hearing Wang Hao’s words, Elder Yan immediately acted.

“I’ll give you one chance: leave this place!” Qin Tian said to the two security guards with a calm voice. After speaking, he took Liang Ruyan’s hand and headed straight for the elevator.

“What are you all talking about? If those old guys want to see us, then we’d better hurry up! Time waits for no one!” A voice called out, and Huang Qi, somewhat anxious, spoke.

“Hehe, that won’t happen. No matter how much I eat, I never gain weight.” Zhao Zhiyun boasted to Han Shiyu.

The black gem-like eyes stared unblinkingly at the person on the bed. The burning gaze had long lost its earlier sharpness and arrogance. The chiseled jaw was tightly clenched, and from the depths of Xuan Yuan Yi’s heart flowed a strange, complicated emotion.

When Ji Yu drew out Bleeding Shadow, a strong scent of blood spread instantly, sending a chill down everyone’s spine.

Faced with Xia Mawei’s questioning, Bai Tian’e shook her head in the darkness, biting her crimson lips with pearly teeth. She widened her beautiful almond eyes, gazing intently toward the direction illuminated by the “Ocean King” flashlight, suddenly exclaiming, “Ah!”

The great tree appeared enormous, its branches lush and dense, as though it could cover half the sky. Beneath it, a strange, indescribable energy rippled.

Mu Bingyue saw her mother’s expression and knew the matter was settled. She climbed over her mother’s arm and took the letter, trying to decipher it as her mother had taught her. Guessing and piecing it together, she managed to grasp the gist. When her gaze shifted to the delivery date marked at the end, she calculated and felt a surge of annoyance.

“Third Prince, are you saying you no longer wish to cooperate with Consort Bei?” Yue Qi asked, suddenly stepping in front of Lan Mo. As expected, Long Yanze’s face met Yue Qi’s slightly gaunt features.
