Volume 1, Chapter 61: Can't Handle It Already?

Back when her illicit affair with the heir was exposed, the Marquis's estate, eager to swiftly quell public gossip and looking down upon her with utter contempt, took her in as a concubine in haste, without a bridal sedan chair, without any ceremony, and not even a new bridal gown.

Poor her, she was overjoyed at the time, foolishly believing she had finally seen the clouds part to reveal the bright moon.

Had there been no comparison, she would not have found it so unbearable to endure.

"Scumbag," Cornell spat fiercely onto the ground and turned to walk out the door.

The formations of Maoshan Taoism are divided into "external formations" and "internal formations." As the name implies, an "external formation" is one set up in the environment by borrowing geographical terrain and ritual materials, whereas an "internal formation" is one deployed directly upon a person's body. This toxic scale formation was precisely a type of internal formation.

"Then why are people from other continents completely invisible within the Mainland of the Seas? What is going on?" Long Chen asked again.

Winter had already arrived, and it was beginning to snow. With the freezing weather, it was no longer a season for military campaigns. Withdrawing to Longxi to regroup and preparing to march into the Western Regions in the coming year was the best course of action, and the generals naturally had no objections.

"Which side?!" Boss Dong had also recovered his wits. Taking two steps in one, he picked up the flashlight, then raised it and began searching for the stun baton.

Xia Dong ignored her completely, not even shifting her gaze for a single moment. She continued walking toward Xie Yu with that slow, resolute, yet overwhelmingly oppressive pace, stopping only when she was a mere three zhang away from him.

As the Marquis's concubines looked upon the radiant Lady Shen, the bitterness stirring deep within their hearts was known only to themselves.

Alas, it was already too late. By the time the Empire's fleet arrived, the incident site was completely empty, and the large number of reconnaissance planes dispatched failed to find the rebel fleet. It was only through the clear traces of energy weaponry left on the wreckage of recovered unmanned monitors that they finally confirmed enemy ships or fighter craft of the rebels had indeed passed through here.

"Look, don't blame me for not warning you beforehand. If you don't get up now, this cup of water is going to be poured right down the back of your neck. If you can still manage to sleep through that, then go ahead and sleep—I won't disturb you anymore." Resen stated quite bluntly, holding the cup of water directly above Cornell's neck as he issued his threat.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, the Emperor issued an imperial decree stripping the Xuanjing Division of all its authorities and duties, placing all its officials on suspension while simultaneously stripping Zhu Yue of his position as the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, ordering the Ministry of Punishments to take him into custody.

Having lost sixty thousand water spirit stones, he was summoned back to the Gao family almost immediately to await the clan's judgment.

Faintly, they caught sight of the backs of those two figures as they headed toward the side of the immortal array, unleashing a giant-like shadow that smashed violently into the immortal array, shattering it wide open as they fought their way out.

Cangshan is filled with mountains everywhere, and upon those mountains reside sword intents. Yue Mountain is one such place brimming with dense sword intent, which is why this strike is named the Yue Saber Mountain.

As Brother Tian spoke, he swiped the card in his hand against the machine by the entrance, which displayed the number 300. Immediately afterward, the immensely heavy, silvery-white metal door opened automatically.

After lying on the ground, thousands of members of the cosmic divine race suddenly began to convulse violently. With their eyes rolling back into their heads and white foam at their mouths, they trembled uncontrollably while uttering spine-chilling shrieks.

"Make way, make way. Where is your husband? I am a soldier; perhaps I can be of help!" Cao Jianhua stepped forward to inquire about Li Datong's location.

With a gentle push from Chu Yi, the attack in his hand instantly transformed into a stream of light, leaving a long, deep-blue trail in the air before sweeping directly into the opponent's golden gale.

Almost with every step forward, everyone silently counted in their hearts until a crystalline, snowy-white colossal shape resembling towering pearls appeared, making them instinctively feel that they had reached the end of the ice tunnel.

The Dark Flame Demon was momentarily stunned, but seizing the opportunity instantly, his spear surged with black flames, manifesting countless demonic runes.

Zhan Tianxiao stared at her tender, pink lips, his Adam's apple bobbing. Pulling her backward with a sudden surge of arm strength, Qiao Chu was pressed into the sofa before she could even react, and his aggressively overbearing kiss descended upon her.
