Volume 1, Chapter 62: When Will the Emperor Appoint a Empress and Take Consorts?

According to the customs of Nanling, officials are entitled to nine days of marriage leave. However, out of sympathy for the Prince of Jing, Xiao Jin'an directly granted him half a month off.

As the sky began to grow pale the next morning, Qi Junyao forced herself to rise despite the lingering physical discomfort.

Being a newlywed bride, she had to enter the palace to serve tea and pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

As this was her first meeting with her mother-in-law, she needed to make a favorable and lasting impression.

Just as she finished dressing, Xiao Muchen also woke up.

Qi Junyao hurried over to help him change his robes. Although they had already consummated their marriage the previous night, Xiao Muchen still felt somewhat unaccustomed to it. He stepped back with a smile and said, "Let the servants handle these chores!"

"My Lord is this concubine's husband, so attending to your daily life and wardrobe is naturally..."

After a moment of thought, Ling Wei finally decided to send a text message to Huangfu Yao. In case she could not find Huangfu Xin, at least someone else would be searching as well. After sending the message, Ling Wei called Ling Shun to confirm the exact location of the vehicle and set off to find it.

Tie Junyi was stunned; the situation left him utterly dumbfounded, as it was simply too formidable! He had seen it clearly enough—the attacks from several Blade-stage experts were certainly superior to his own, yet they could not inflict the slightest injury on the Glazed Meteorite Lizard. Yet, with a single strike of his blade, he had actually wounded it.

"Why were you glaring so furiously at that old man just a moment ago, yet now you look like this?" Feng'er asked with a hint of curiosity, noticing the distinctly cheerful expression on Wan Qingping's face.

After finishing breakfast, the family began clearing up the courtyard. Because the celebration had lasted late into the night, everyone had left things untouched so as not to disturb the wedding night of Yunzhu and Shu Sirui.

Master Ba let out a cold snort and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, dozens of Green Gang members brandishing machetes surged from the surrounding area, glaring murderously at Ouyang Feihua. They were Master Ba's most trusted subordinates and his most loyal followers.

A dozen minutes later, Ngo Dinh Diem appeared inside the United States consulate and said to the U.S. Consul General in Saigon—at that time, the two countries had not yet established formal diplomatic relations, as the territory was previously under French rule.

However, Major General Howard was unaware that at that very moment, eight Albatross missile boats, under the cover of electronic jamming aircraft, had already bypassed the U.S. destroyer fleet heading in the opposite direction.

One day, a cultivator of profound and miraculous abilities descended from an unknown origin. Seeing humanity suffering at the hands of fierce beasts, he was filled with righteous anger and proceeded to slay all beasts above level five across the Myriad Islands Sea, including even the reigning monarch of the beasts at the time—a level-six golden flood dragon.

"I never expected the Palace Master to trust me this much." Yanye slowly drew a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Zhilan.

Lei Shan's cultivation had reached the peak of the early Star Condensation realm, and he practiced the Dao of Thunder, renowned for its overwhelming destructive power.

"And where are the other two?" Before the old bailiff finished speaking, he heard a door open behind him. Turning his head, he saw the third person: Chen Ke. Chen Ke was a full head taller than him, emanating a deeply oppressive presence.

"Me!" Following a stern shout, a warrior slowly rode out from the ranks of the Yellow Turban army, wearing a lion-shaped helmet and beast-hide belt, with a face like powdered jade, lips like painted cinnabar, a slender waist and broad shoulders. His voice was robust, his strength formidable, and his overwhelming aura instantly caused Zhang Fei's heart to tighten.

Rorschach merely raised his shield and, as if taking a leisurely stroll, smashed through countless obstacles. When he finally stopped right in front of the Blade Demon Sorcerer, he could even feel the creature trembling. A demon of the abyss was actually trembling.

This red-robed visitor was deeply influenced by traditional Chinese martial arts, executing pure martial techniques with his very first move. While the initial strike appeared ordinary, its power lay in its immense momentum and rigid, unyielding force.

Gao Jin was dressed in a white bathrobe with his sleeves rolled up high above his elbows. His two arms were bare, down to the clearly visible arm hair—even when Zhou Yi had previously scanned him with spiritual sense, he had found nothing amiss. Yet, with a simple press beneath his armpit, a layer of simulated "skin" rose over his right arm.

"Apologies, apologies! It is only right!" Jiang哲 said with a face full of joy, cupping his hands in a salute to everyone in the hall before finally stepping to his own seat.

Well, such a reckless statement left him speechless. Probably only a fellow with a body as hard as iron, capable of healing through a contract, would treat his own life so lightly.

Yet, the Seal of Wood had condensed with a full twenty percent of its power right from the start, leaving even Xiaochen himself bewildered.

"Oh no, the other side is trying to snatch it!" In an instant, the firepower of both sides converged on that poor black cat. But as the smoke and dust cleared, the cat reappeared with a complete Creation Jade Disc gripped firmly in its jaws.

After teaching for some ten days or so, Mulan was barely able to manage on her own, while Wei Shangxing had already mastered everything. Whatever remained, he could teach Mulan himself.

Having been passed down for generations, the Blood Clan naturally preserved several imperial artifacts. As long as they possessed the fortification of these imperial artifacts, no one would dare to provoke them lightly.

The moment Zhou You regained consciousness, he felt as though his entire body had fallen apart, every single inch aching and sore.

Elena watched and shook her head. As she stepped out of the courtyard gate, she suddenly asked a casual question.

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Wang Weiye's inner anxiety gradually dissipated, because whatever Ye Feng said always came to pass.

The previously smug Zhaoxiathen suddenly began to panic. Twisting its body from side to side, it still failed to evade the suction of the jade gourd, and was ultimately pulled inside in a flash of blue light.

A tremor shook my heart. Could it be that I had just swallowed this pill? But how on earth did this thing get into my mouth?

Ye Feng could feel that the teleportation power emanating from that talisman was even more formidable than the Immortal Escaping Shadow Talisman he had used previously.

Ye Feng was shrouded in secrets. She had once attempted to unearth them, yet she was equally terrified of knowing too much, fearing that the more she discovered, the further away she would drift from him.

Master said nothing. He sat cross-legged on the ground, pointed to the floor, and motioned for both of us to sit down. Thus, Brother Wei and I flanked Master on either side.

Wherever it passed, the hard rock was crushed to pieces, and the earth trembled slightly beneath its feet. What a peerless fierce beast! And this was only at level four; if it were to advance to level five or even level six, one could only imagine how many lives would perish beneath its hooves.

Before he could even utter a single cry, the poor patrolling man fell backward onto the ground with a thud.

While the spectators and true souls were discussing the match, the enemy heroes had already dismantled the Dream Team's crystal nexus down to about one-third of its full health.

Zu Long remained silent, striking out directly. The void instantly generated countless ripples, each blossom delicate and lifelike, resembling genuine flowers. Mastering the Dao of Water, Zu Long had once been the primordial Black Emperor at the dawn of time—the ancestor of all waters and the source of the aquatic realm.
