The Prince of Qi is the Emperor’s cousin. In his youth, the Prince’s father fell from his horse during a royal hunt and broke his leg, after which he became a leisurely prince who collected a stipend but held no real responsibilities. Because of his own accidental injury, he forbade his son from learning martial arts.
As it happened, Xiao Changshan had no talent for academics; as he grew up, he remained unremarkable and ill-suited for great responsibilities. The old Prince doted on his son, and when Xiao Changshan turned sixteen, he petitioned the throne to hand over his title and the vast estate to his son, while he himself retired to a rural villa with his wives, concubines, and younger children to live a pastoral life.
The Prince of Qi married at eighteen. The Princess of Qi, Li Qingning, came from a scholarly family and was a gentle, quiet...
Meanwhile, within the tribe, Jiang Yuan was in his room, adjusting his breath and calming his mind. The concentration of spiritual energy here was astonishing. Although it had not reached the point of condensing into mist, this level was already sufficient to provide Jiang Yuan with the resources he needed for cultivation.
"Why not call the police? What they’re doing is illegal," Xingchen said, agitated. To think they would dare to kill someone.
At this moment, Guan Yu watched the approaching armies of Li Cunxiao ahead and the pursuing forces of Xiang Yu behind with a calm expression. He understood perfectly well that Liu Bei’s earlier actions were merely a performance.
Lin Mo sighed inwardly, thinking that this lock didn't have much high-tech security, like fingerprint recognition or the like.
Langya was also genuinely incensed. Feeling suffocated by Tang Shuai’s constant obstruction, he kept using his aura to suppress Tang Shuai as they fought.
From Xingchen’s perspective, she could just make out the bottomless depths of Feng Yushan’s dark eyes, which looked exactly like a whirlpool capable of swallowing anyone whole.
"Host detected to have 800 gold. Do you wish to exchange it for system coins now?" the system’s voice echoed.
This terrified Liu Biao. He hurriedly ordered his personal guards to stay behind and draw away the pursuers, while he and Cai Mao didn't even dare to rest, continuing their desperate flight.
"Heh, a 50 million endorsement fee? I think this company took a loss!" Li Yurang posted on Weibo at this moment.

They were married in the Fairy Cave of Guxie, amidst swirling auspicious clouds and the chorus of a hundred birds. By dusk, as they consummated their union, a cluster of divine fire suddenly appeared at the top of the cave, brilliant and dazzling. From then on, the custom of calling a bride's room a "cave chamber" and the wedding night a "candlelit cave chamber night" was born.
Perhaps they were being hunted by endless enemies and did not want to implicate the Yun family; that is also a possibility.
The servant shook his head, indicating he did not know, and added that Li Gongpu and the others should be waiting for him in the living room.
Xu Xian hesitated for a moment before telling Bai Suzhen about how he had been deceived by Wang Daoling.
"Why don't I go take a look? It's been a long time since I've been back to Green Ox Palace, and I'm not sure how things are there," Han Yu thought. Aside from the matter of taking on a master, he could spare half a day for a meal; he could head to the Green Ox Palace after lunch and return by evening.

Xuankongzi and the crane-haired elder stared at Mo Liuyun and Leng Ruoshuang, not even glancing at Ouyang Mingyue and Huangfu Shisi. The disciples behind them, seeing Mo Liuyun show such respect to a guard commander while acting arrogantly toward their own master, felt their anger burn even brighter.
Hua Qin was finally able to go out and have fun openly, which made her incredibly happy. She wore a smile throughout breakfast, enlivening the atmosphere of the entire villa.
This bit of playfulness left Ke Han feeling satisfied. Looking at the heroes gathered in the hall, he suddenly felt as if something was missing.
"When I expelled Han Bing from the sect, I deliberately claimed to have crippled his cultivation to protect him. Whether the Jade Emperor Sovereign knows this or not is a question for my Junior Brother Lingxu," Patriarch Bodhi said, turning his gaze toward Daoist Lingxu, his implication clear.
The second round was a random draw for battles. Of course, there was one very important piece of information Ye Yanqing learned through Flying Dragon’s guidance: the first round did not state that participants were prohibited from attacking.
Wang Min pointed at Zhao Zilong, who had a wry smile on his face, and spoke to the young man he addressed as Brother Mao.

Liu Chong laughed heartily as he ran out, leaving the Madame Deng behind with her hands on her hips, cursing. Once he left the backyard, Liu Chong’s expression turned heavy. He had only acted that way to keep his family from worrying, but his own heart was filled with heavy doubts.
With a loud boom, only two of the three fire pillars remained, shooting toward the light barrier of the opposing formation.
"A stone is a stone, but that doesn't mean it's useless." Xia Chunqiu's words sounded more like a defense now. She pulled a stone from her bag. It was indeed different from a normal stone—pitted, rugged, and quite ugly.
The entire tree held fifty or sixty clusters of these white fruits, totaling five or six thousand in number.
Just as Sun Ce, who had been lingering in Chaisang for less than three days with his twenty-thousand-man expeditionary force, was hesitating, news arrived: Sun Jian’s death was connected to the Wu family, Sun Quan, and Dong Zhuo.
Just then, a light flashed across the stone wall. A stone door, about two meters high and one meter wide, emerged from the rock and slowly opened. Dust flew into the air, and a sense of antiquity and decay followed.
If they hadn't managed to escape by then, nothing awaited them but death.
"If you wished to see me, miss, why hide behind the tree?" Zhan Huan said, walking to the center of the stage while waving his folding fan.
She and Beichen Shu were not exactly lovers; they simply shared similar goals. Rong Wanwan knew she could not achieve her ideals on her own, so she chose Beichen Shu, but this led to a dispute between the Cui family and Beichen Shu... which eventually spiraled out of control.
Four? Where did so many suddenly pop up from? Hadn't one already been dealt with? How could there still be so many?
