Volume 1, Chapter 63: Could He Be an Illegitimate Child?

Two people dressed in vibrant red wedding attire walked side by side. The man was as elegant as jade, and the woman possessed delicate, captivating brows, resembling a match made in heaven.

"Your son pays his respects to the Empress Mother," Xiao Muchen said, bowing deeply toward the Empress Dowager Renshou.

"Your daughter-in-law, Princess Lanmin, pays her respects to the Empress Dowager," Princess Lanmin greeted formally.

A senior palace maid curtsied and extended a tray holding a teacup toward Princess Lanmin.

Princess Lanmin accepted it and said respectfully, "Mother-in-law, please have some tea."

From the moment she stepped through the gates of Shoukang Palace, Shen Li’s gaze never left Princess Lanmin.

Her appearance and figure were top-tier, and her manners and speech were completely flawless.

Gentle yet graceful...

Right now, Gu Tie felt like the ill-fated HMS Hood, being heavily bombarded by the Bismarck and the German fleet.

Looking at Ming Nan’s expression, Yulu understood immediately. Ming Nan must have talked extensively with Du Zhengqing just now, untying the knots in Du Zhengqing's heart, which explained the sudden change in him.

After several actual combat tests, the formidable power of future technological weapons had been fully verified. However, these weapons remained under the strict control of the Fierce Tiger Regiment. Every single gun and grenade required registration before use, and even the Alliance soldiers were barred from casually touching that astonishing equipment.

"If I dress like this, do you think I look too childish?" Seeing Sheng Shi wearing a simple shirt, Ji Liunian suddenly asked on a whim.

The water level was still higher than usual, but the vast expanse of water outside the city walls from the night before was now a thing of the past. The stone bridge had emerged once again. However, the low-lying areas across the sprawling hills where the enemy camp stood were still flooded; it would take at least two or three days for things to return to normal.

By this time, the special forces carried by the shuttlecraft had already reached the airspace above the enemy camp. The cargo doors on both sides opened to reveal a blazing sea of fire below. Even before their arrival, fighter jets had already swept through, dropping numerous bombs and missiles to wipe out the enemy's anti-air and ground defense installations.

The expressions of those inside the grand hall varied, and everyone fell into a heavy silence. For a reigning Prime Minister to hold private banquets with military generals was a deeply sensitive topic.

Looking at Yulu’s innocent gaze, Ming Nan was momentarily speechless, staring at her with utter helplessness.

"Fine, then I'll go by myself, and next week I'll make him go to Wuyou Island for dinner!" Qi Bingbing nodded, feeling that her brother’s tone today was not quite right, and she hung up the phone in a depressed mood.

Sir Douglas Haig, the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force, looked at General Joffre of France inside the room.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... Gusts of cold wind whipped up Li Yan's blood-red hair and the tattered scraps of his clothes as the terrifying, freezing radiance of the halberd struck him squarely.

She stared blankly at Qin Yu's retreating back, unable to recover her senses until he completely vanished from sight.

If his mechanical aptitude hadn't been exceptional, Chu Feng wouldn't have bothered investing so much effort into teaching him technology and martial arts.

"I am already aware of it. May I ask why the three young masters have returned?" Hong Ying asked hurriedly.

Even Emperor-tier figures like Pan Hong and the elderly man in black had to steer clear of those black hole zones.

Xuanyuan Wudi clutched his stomach, wanting to spit out a harsh threat, but the impending sensation threatening to erupt from behind forced his face to turn beet red. He shut his mouth and stared at the Chief of State with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

The housekeeper Fu Lin behind him, along with several sharp and capable middle-aged men, appeared unassuming at first glance. Yet a single look into their piercing, vibrant eyes revealed that they were far from ordinary individuals.

It was hard to believe, but even more so, the men harbored absolute, one-hundred-percent trust in their boss.

"Fine, if you want it, take it. We of the Giant Sword Sect will give you this courtesy," Jiang Fei walked over to claim a Barrier-Breaking Pill to indicate his withdrawal. Afterward, Chen Xing also stepped down on behalf of the Running Sword Sect, leaving only the members of the Sun Sect, Moon Sect, and Five Ultimates Sect looking hesitant and undecided.

As long as a chance arose to let Qiao Yunxi witness the hypocritical and sordid true faces of the fourth branch, she would naturally distance herself from them and grow closer to the Gu family.

The test questions were divided into several groups, each unique, though there were three identical questions in total—which explained why Qiao Yunxi, Wang Min, and Sun Xian ended up with overlapping topics.

Furthermore, this farce treated all the attendees like fools, toying with them while expecting them to swallow his absurd lies.

Although years of tempering had thickened Hong Fifan’s skin quite a bit, his self-esteem remained fiercely intact.

She suddenly remembered that Liu Yan had a fondness for history, especially historical anecdotes involving homoerotic subtext ("fujoshi"-style interpretations), spanning ancient and modern times, domestic and foreign alike.

With this, Ge Zongyan was captured, Ge Wenhao brought to justice, Junzi’s deep vengeance finally avenged, and the Ge family completely ruined.

Entering the inner courtyard and arriving at the floral parlor, seeing the room full of people, Madam Feng’s mood eased considerably, at least bringing more warmth to the smile on her face.

"Yet, she actually wants to leave Garan Star!" Si Xu’s slender, fair fingers slowly tightened into a fist, and his jaw tensed slightly.

Just now, in order to keep the situation under control, he had tried his best to converse with Tachibana Shin in a calm, ordinary manner. Next, it all depended on how Tachibana Shin chose to play his hand.

The sole purpose of the Youyin Sect's existence was to destroy the current world; their path was fundamentally different from Ye Cang's.

However, Su Le glanced at Zhao Meixuan’s current state. Weeping so bitterly, she genuinely looked as though she had suffered a great grievance and been bullied by him.

Perhaps because the afternoon sunlight was blindingly brilliant, Xie Rongshu’s smile was radiant and dazzling. Paired with his suit, he truly looked like the male lead in a romance drama.

Xu Luo's white magic control playstyle received high praise, while the white magic support playstyle favored by Zhang Jueding was thoroughly phased out by the Miracle Alliance from then on.

The office was initially quite spacious, but it couldn't withstand the chaos of so many people thrashing about. At first, I managed to hold my ground on the fringes launching sneak attacks, but soon enough, I was completely dragged into the melee. I took several hits to the face and chest from unknown attackers, leaving my vision swimming with stars.

Su Le immediately recalled the question he had asked Cheng Nuoyan earlier, wondering if Cheng Nuoyan’s side had finally dug up some solid information.

That's right, the Big Boss had a decent relationship with Ye Chen, but the Big Boss probably hadn't told Ye Chen about her pregnancy. Otherwise, Ye Chen wouldn't have phrased things the way he did upon opening his mouth.
