Volume 1 Chapter 27: Song Mingzhu is Poisoned

With a backhand strike, the mace landed solidly on Prague’s back. A massive shockwave surged through his entire body, forcing him to cough up a mouthful of blood.

"Don't grab me, I'm not a bad person, I'm not a bad person!" Jia Zhang kept squatting on the ground, repeating the words incessantly.

This brought a sense of relief to Qin Yu, whose eyes had been feeling rather uncomfortable. Although a needle-like stinging pain still flared up occasionally, it was much more manageable than before.

Sheng Yuan: "..." She suddenly didn't know what to say. Hadn't that remark come just a little bit too late?

Qiao Jiu quickly looked away, unable to bear the sight of him; it felt as if she were the one who had wronged him.

Although their accounts displayed the fan light-sticks for groups B and C, no one knew when it started, but they had effectively taken up permanent residence in the group A livestream.

"Should I head to Changbai Mountain first, and go rescue Chen Chong after I return?" Wang Bing muttered to himself.

Even though there were no referees in the three-on-three street basketball game, everyone knew that Chiba Dashi had committed a blocking foul, and that Wudao had scored the basket. It was a tough, "and-one" play.

She thought of the mess she had made after drinking earlier, especially the filth she had vomited onto the tiles and the floor, and how he had silently cleaned it all up without the slightest frown. She felt a wave of shyness, followed by a touch of warmth that gradually filled her heart. She thought that if she really had a younger brother like him... she would be very happy.

The leader of Huang Shang’s group was not Huang Shang himself, but Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng’s status was significant, and he had a clear objective, while Huang Shang was merely accompanying him.

Lu Xingshen was indeed the same old cunning fox he had always been; playing games with him would only land one in an even more dangerous position.

Wang Yun also realized that Cai Yong had finally come to his senses, and he couldn't help but shake his head as he thought of Diao Chan, who was currently in his own residence.

Although Su Ruanruan and Su Ruanning were in the same school and grade, Su Ruanning had excellent grades and was placed in an honors class. The classes in the honors class started earlier than in other sections, so after breakfast, Su Ruanning was taken to school by the driver first.

"Wow! An immortal!" Li Pingjiang came to his senses, pointing a finger at the fat man with an expression of disbelief.

A ray of morning sunlight shone through the bamboo cracks into the room. Li Pingjiang slowly opened his eyes, and feeling in high spirits, he took the initiative to head toward the training ground this time.

Bang! The blade’s glow sliced the giant hand in two. At that moment, a massive gust of wind blew through, and the severed hand instantly dissolved into demonic energy, plunging into the ground with a soft sound.

"Hand it over. As it happens, I'm hungry." Regardless of her motive for coming to the company, the fact that she was willing to humble herself and bring food was enough.

Hearing the sudden interruption, Su Ruanruan instinctively turned her head and glanced to the side, where she saw a handsome face with a hint of roguish charm.

Having edited clips from the livestream was better than seeing nothing at all. At the very least, they could catch a glimpse of the situation inside. The orcs reluctantly agreed, abandoning their plan to hack into the First Military Academy’s internal system.

Once Li Shiyao received her award and continued to rise in fame, this current method would certainly no longer work. Before the filming of this drama was completed, they had to come up with a solution.

Hong Xiu wore a dress provided by the Marquis’s estate, tailored by the household tailor for all the maids. Each maid had two such sets, so she did not stand out in the slightest. The only difference was the beaded flower in her hair; although the style was several years old, it was quite valuable for a maid. Naturally, this ornament had been bestowed upon her by Xiao Xile.

As Ye Zihan was pondering the identity of the adversary, Beiming Yun was also dragged out from the rubble by the assassin and tossed onto the ground.

This strategy had proven effective six years ago. When the Qin army re-entered Qi County, it was Qi Zhongping who had acted as their guide. During those months, the Qin army had committed no acts of aggression against the cooperative Qi clan. When the State of Qin returned Qi County to the State of Zhao, thanks to the behind-the-scenes maneuvering of Qi Mengming, the Taiyuan Commandery did not punish the Qi clan for their fence-sitting behavior.

"Oh! You're in a hurry? Didn't you say your feelings for Huo Lingfeng weren't as deep as you imagined? Then let me ask you now: if I wanted you to betray him, would you be willing?" Mother Zhuang watched Zhuang Qingqing as she spoke.

By this time, Nanny Wang had long since fled back to the Second Concubine’s courtyard. All evidence that might have implicated her had already been shifted onto Zhuo Tianfeng, so naturally, it could no longer affect her. Thus, Nanny Wang only needed to feign ignorance within the Second Concubine’s courtyard, and that would be enough.

Zhao Changle was speechless. She had clearly come from that plum blossom forest herself, and she hadn't felt any formations at all. Could someone really set up such things? She had always assumed that things like internal energy and formations only existed in the storybooks that Jiang Xinyu liked to read.

The Flame Beast received its master's command, tilted its head, gathered sparks in its mouth, and spat a torrent of fire directly at Ye Zihan.

Upon hearing this, Fang Jing instinctively looked down at her chest, feeling that perhaps her figure was indeed a bit overdeveloped, but to have it pointed out so directly made her expression turn rather unpleasant.

"Hey, we didn't come here by ourselves this time. Lingfeng called for a car to pick us up; it wasn't tiring at all!" After saying this, Mother Zhuang cast an approving look at Huo Lingfeng, who was cooking in the kitchen.

Yawen shivered and looked at Ziyu. She had already heard Ziyu’s words—her parents were no longer in the hands of the Second Concubine, but had fallen into Ziyu’s grasp. That was a nightmare she would never want to recall for as long as she lived.

The Ferryman of the Underworld kept answering, but as for the boat, I couldn't see it. I looked around in all directions again, yet I still couldn't spot anywhere a boat could be hidden.
