Volume One, Chapter 57: The Rare Auspicious Cloud Brocade, Once More

“Concubine, please don’t be like this. It’s quite normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines. Besides, the heir apparent is destined to inherit the marquisate; how could he not have other women?”

“You’re talking nonsense! The heir has said time and again that he loves only me! It’s that shameless vixen who seduced him! Otherwise, how could Wen Yuan have forgotten our bond so quickly?”

...

Qin Muhan shook his head slightly and said, “Your Majesty, I know nothing about the Southern Barbarian Kingdom. However, the thirteenth brother said this map was picked up by fishermen near the coast. That means people from the Southern Barbarian Kingdom must have come near our Long Dynasty. If this is true, then the relics they left behind are more than just this map.”

“That’s good. Once I finish filming the Hacker Trilogy, perhaps I’ll make you the protagonist and tailor a film series just for you,” Jiang Xia said.

“Truly? Hah, how else do you expect me to express myself?” Even though he had said “I love you” three times, he could still say such things. Does he even understand what sincerity means?

Sensing something amiss in his own state, Yang Feifan’s heart tightened. He quickly gathered his composure and dispelled the faint dizziness swirling in his mind.

But Chen Fei surprised her. Several bolts from the crossbow flew from the opposite direction, aimed at Fang Chu’s back.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. “Come in,” he responded briskly without looking up, his eyes fixed on the lengthy contract clauses.

After stepping out to inquire, it turned out that Ding Xuan’s parents had left early in the morning. They had to tend to the farm and could not afford to stay long.

“Very well. Could you tell me what realms exist beyond innate cultivation?” Li Yifei lowered his expectations. He had hoped to uncover secrets from the lost history of cultivators but found the other party equally ignorant. So he changed his question and looked at him with eager anticipation.

Moreover, some intriguing scenes in the previous trailer made many viewers eager to watch it in theaters.

“What made you think of me?” Xiao Han took the letter and opened it. It was a standard printed invitation to the Writers’ Association tea gathering on the eve of National Day.

Fury boiled within him. He swore publicly never to return to court unless the Yi Pass City was taken. When asked about the King of Wei’s affair, he thought the matter was already public knowledge. Concealing it would only breed distrust among his soldiers later. So, with a face full of grief, he revealed the truth. Instantly, the camp was filled with wails.

Upon reflection, Old Lord Lao also felt at peace. A faint trace of schadenfreude appeared on his face as he twirled his cane briskly, the sound whistling through the air.

Leo and Qi Qi prepared essential provisions and ropes before setting off with nimble steps toward the peak of Panlong Mountain.

As for Granny Shi, she gradually understood that the Moon-Inviting Fairy’s forgetfulness was not due to a lapse but because those memories had dealt her such a blow that her soul triggered self-protective amnesia, causing her to temporarily forget.

“No, this is another business trip. I just arrived in England yesterday. I’m glad you still remember the last time I came here,” Feng Nianchen said with a smile as he looked at me.

“Step on it. Let’s see if they dare to catch up!” Only then did Xiao Han breathe a sigh of relief. Looking back at the few motorcycles pursuing him, none managed to close in. After revving the engine a few times, he helplessly merged into the traffic.

Meanwhile, the Demon Emperor Kunpeng was now brimming with vigor, suspending the Eastern Emperor Bell above his head. Every step he took emitted a melodious resonance—balanced and harmonious. The senior disciple, Dragon Pig Wang Qianzhenzi, listened to the bell’s tones all the way, feeling an indescribable benefit that filled him with immense joy.

The four burly men entered upon hearing the sound, their faces full of apology yet gentle expressions. They slowly approached Tan Erxi and extended their arms, as sturdy as steel staffs.
