Chapter 26: The Vase Actress Who Is the Fake Heiress in Modern Society (26)

The Gu family’s testing facility detected a high concentration of hormones in Jiang You’an’s hair. If it was present in her hair, one could only imagine the much higher dosages coursing through her body. It appeared that her physical functions had been artificially accelerated by chemicals, a process that invariably took a severe toll on one's lifespan. Further research and more samples would be required to determine the full extent of the damage.

“Thank you, President Gu, this is enough.” Xian Du gathered the files, a bold theory already forming in her mind.

Chen Feng had hoped to reclaim the Divine Sword discreetly, but given the stance of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, it was clear that keeping the weapon’s existence a secret was no longer possible. Consequently, Kakashi simply drew Yin-Yang master sigils around the painting to help it absorb demonic energy.

Ming Yue opened his eyes in despair, staring at the assassin’s mask, where a hideous, beast-like maw seemed ready to devour him, revealing a bizarre and contemptuous smile. He never imagined that despite his great ambitions and meticulous schemes, he would end up dying in an assassination, murdered by a nobody.

Before arriving, they had unearthed everything there was to know about the imperial family, and one of the most critical figures was this Seventh Princess.

“Sir, I don't think his ambitions are mere delusions,” a soldier nearby said tentatively.

He refused primarily because he sensed that when a situation became overly complicated, the ultimate result would inevitably spiral out of control.

The contest continued. Though the Six Meridian Divine Sword was profound, it was, at its core, a form of finger-based swordsmanship. Dugu Huang was a master of such a high caliber that he had sparred with Chen Feng many times, gaining deep insight into the technique. After an initial stalemate, Dugu Huang launched a fierce counterattack.

Just then, the archivist who had been searching for quite some time returned in a hurry, clutching a large bundle of bamboo and wooden slips.

Ning Fuchen looked at the crowd gathering around him, completely encircling him. He knew he had to make a decision now, or he would lose his chance entirely.

To his surprise, just as he had settled Lei Tianyang into a chair, the man slowly opened his eyes.

She stopped struggling and nestled obediently into his warm embrace. Resting her cheek against his chest, she listened to his steady heartbeat, closed her eyes in peace, and a blissful smile blossomed on her lips.

Bai Ye beckoned to the man, who walked over and respectfully presented the car keys with both hands. Bai Ye tossed the keys to his previous sports car to the man in the suit.

“I feel like I can finally reach you now! I used to think I was just useless, someone who needed protection, but now I can protect others too!” Emboldened by the alcohol, I began to brag to Bu Chen about the things I had accomplished recently.

I truly obeyed, remaining perfectly still with my eyes closed as she fussed over me. From time to time, she would make me open my eyes, look up, and then look down. Her makeup technique was completely different from Granny Taozhi’s.

As the longest-lived prince of the Kangxi era, his birth mother was the long-lived Consort Ding, Wanliuhashi, and he was raised by the venerable Sumalagu, who lived to be over ninety.

Both sides were waiting for the opportune moment to strike, neither daring to act rashly. Yet, in this heavy, tense atmosphere, my phone suddenly rang for no reason.

Yuan Ling stared coldly at the ghost statue, inwardly alarmed. When he used the first form, Soul Extinguisher, his internal soul energy hadn't been depleted much. But the moment he unleashed the second form, Soul Snatcher, he immediately felt a hollow sensation in his soul body. Upon checking, he discovered that less than thirty percent of his soul energy remained.

Moreover, she was very comfortable living here; the environment was pleasant, and the furniture and decor had been updated by Ningning. It was a rare, tranquil, and elegant space that she truly loved.

After a flurry of searching and purchasing, a dozen barrels of mineral water were lined up on the floor, accompanied by two large wooden bathing tubs.
