Chapter 49: Shang Heking: Feed Me

Throughout the entire day of battles, Tang Qing did not encounter any significant challenges; some people even began to feel a sense of dread toward Taiqing.

In the past, she would never have waited under the blazing sun, but due to being disciplined by Rong Zhao previously, she harbored a lingering fear of her. Moreover, times had changed; Rong Zhao was now in charge. The First Madam had been stripped of her power and had fallen out of favor, disliked by the Marquis. Consequently, Tang Qing's status within the Marquis's estate had plummeted dramatically, stripping her of her former ability to bully others by flaunting borrowed authority. Now, she had no choice but to endure everything with utmost patience.

Of course, external cultivation had always existed. No matter how one cultivated, the physical body was always required to store power, and the vessel for releasing that power similarly drew strength to forge a robust physique.

Having reached this point, she paused, her phoenix-like eyes fixed steadily on Xi Cheng, unmoving, as if observing the inner workings of his mind or waiting for him to react.

Sun Zhaoshui held a natural aversion toward city people. Earlier today in the village of Xi Xia Ce, he had wanted to take action, but had been stopped by Big Brother Dayu. Now that so many people had surrounded these two city dwellers, it was an opportunity too good to miss; if not now, when would such an explosion of anger take place?

The leading man in the black outfit and bronze mask tilted his neck to the side and breathed his last the moment he finished speaking. The remaining masked men received the order to retreat and vanished instantly like a receding tide.

With a piercing crackle of thunder, Yuyangzi’s divine technique was instantly shattered, and countless bolts of lightning surged forward along the trajectory of his broken power.

Suddenly, the sounds of ten thousand galloping horses and roaring armies echoed through the air. It was Ye Qing leading his reinforcements into battle. He had his soldiers spare a warhorse for Mo Xiaoliang and Mo Xi to ride, allowing them to maneuver together alongside the zombie legion.

"Xia Tian, so many years have passed, yet your aura still cannot be completely restrained. Someone is coming. Or rather, a god has come—those people all call themselves gods!" high above in the sky, one of the men looked toward the direction of the ordinary-looking man and said.

At this point, Feng Ruoxue had lost all reason, completely unable to remain calm. Feng Ruoxi actually dared to claim that the cold, proud Nanchuan brother had been pestering her!

"At the very least, you should show some sincerity." Xu Chen felt his heart leap into his throat; this terrifying wave of might gave him a sensation of his entire body turning rigid—it was simply too horrifying.

Eh? Just as she had imagined, it was soft, somewhat resembling fruit jelly. When Yan Mumu pressed her lips against his, Jian Momian’s hand gripping the steering wheel suddenly slipped.

People were truly like this: the more excessive their desires, the weaker they became—weak to the point of discarding their dignity, crawling lower than dogs. This was especially true for those who usually roared the loudest and acted the most self-righteous. Once misfortune struck them personally, they instantly collapsed into a limp, powerless mess, stripped of all their former majesty.

"Your Majesty, please calm your wrath. There is no need to dull your imperial radiance over such an impudent slave." Leng Zhi softly supported the Empress, gently consoling her gloomy, overcast complexion.

If she ever found out one day, how would she react? She probably wouldn't even believe it herself.

Within the estates of other ministers, one official after another fell into a panic of terror and disarray. Amidst their frantic state of mind, they inevitably thought of Xu Chen, who had repeatedly created astonishing miracles. Driven by this bewildered dread, they spontaneously regarded Xu Chen as their psychological refuge and flooded into the palace one after another.

Furthermore, there is a popular saying: "When a dragon swims in shallow waters, it gets teased by shrimp." When Feihuan first appeared, she suffered at the hands of Yu Zixi because her physical and mental condition were both in such poor shape. Truly, a dragon in shallow waters being mocked by shrimp—ah, what a pitiful child.

Has this guy gone mad? Witnessing this astonishing spectacle in front of him, even Ling Yun could not help but click his tongue in secret. To unleash Susanoo to this extent required an expenditure of pupil power that was at least ten times that of a normal, complete-body Susanoo! Just looking at the sheer size of the Thousand-Handed Buddha, it was clear that it was something no ordinary tailed beast could possibly compare to.

Although he failed to establish a permanent foothold in Linqiong, Sima Xiangru had gained a wife. Reflecting on the journey, he felt thoroughly satisfied and repeatedly called himself lucky.

Zhao Wan had no official record of holding a government post, yet he abruptly leaped to become one of the Three Excellencies as the Imperial Counselor. It could not help but make people marvel at how ridiculously easy it was to attain high office under Liu Che.

Within the Federation, solitary lone wolves were exceedingly rare; the vast majority of trainers relied upon various powerful factions standing behind them.

The official anomaly-bearer named Zhou Qi pulled out a bizarrely shaped phone from his inner pocket without the slightest hesitation. He picked it up and swiftly dialed a number.

Yet the royal family was always like this: whichever son the emperor favored was the one who would inherit the grand succession. As for the rest, even if the crown prince eliminated them as political rivals in the future, the emperor would only turn a blind eye and let it pass.

Assistant Zhang led Zhou Xi upstairs and knocked on the door, prompting a deep, gentle male voice to sound from within.

According to their previous agreement, she should have been the one to take the stage for this battle, but faced with the mockery of the entire audience, certain people could no longer sit still.

If she could stay far away from that madman Sun Hao without delaying her studies, the only cost to Zhou Xi would be the travel time—there was simply no better destination than this.

Sun Qian turned his head to look at Princess Hengling, and upon seeing her hopeful expression, he couldn't help whether to laugh or cry. He reached out and gave Hengling's tender, youthful cheek a firm pinch.

The next second, the phone screen instantly turned pitch black, and when it lit up again, it had completely loaded into the game.

I had thought it was a story of power and betrayal, but I never expected the truth to be the riveting drama of "you love me while I love him."

A hundred elite soldiers surged into the palace corridors, their torchlight banishing the darkness as heavy armor shattered the deep silence of the imperial palace.

Dan Jinzhong was anxious to return and interrogate the prisoner personally, paying no mind to red lights or driving speed. After flooring the accelerator and dropping Ye Qianqian off at home, he uttered a brisk goodbye, hit the gas pedal, and sped away in a flash.

Even though movies were just movies, this was a real world, and while there might be many differences, was there perhaps a possibility...

With a cadence-filled, emotional sigh, I seemed to recover the feeling of being cherished and held in the palms of someone's hands when I was wronged as a child, weeping bitterly while burying myself tightly in my father's embrace to vent the suffocated grievances in my heart.

Li Xingyi's temper had always been foul, and Min Yue had endured it from the very beginning, having grown long accustomed to it.

Kara truly had never intended to get involved in helping mutants, but if she crossed paths with them and it was within her power, she still wouldn't just stand by with folded arms.

"I've secured the contract, and on his end, he'll need to give Pu Ce a proper explanation." Arriving at the entrance, he stepped out of the car, tugged at his tie, and smoothed his suit. Just as Gu Qinan was about to walk toward the main gates with his assistant, the car he had just stepped out of—which hadn't yet driven away—was suddenly rear-ended and shunted forward by another speeding sports car.

Shen Luan sat up, breathing in ragged, heavy gasps. Beside him, Wan Zhen also sat up, and Wan Guoguo hurried over to Shen Luan's side, wrapping her arms around him.

When Yue Yi finally woke up, a full day and night had already passed. A fishy sea breeze rushed toward her face—a scent she was far too familiar with. She snapped upright in a panic, only to discover with horror that she was actually lying inside a ship's cabin.

Although I attained a hazy, half-enlightened comprehension, the crucial bottlenecks remained unbroached. Therefore, I steadied my mind to listen to Su Yizhou's subsequent explanation.
