Chapter 729: The Ruler Cherishes His Reputation

Many things, many matters—before they are fully completed, their half-finished appearance is often quite comical and laughable.

For instance, the imperial palace of Bianliang City was just like that.

A few years ago, such an enormous palace city, its palace walls standing considerably taller than the city walls.

It stood on the banks of the canal, surrounded by bare emptiness with nothing else around, looking peculiar and abrupt. Merchants and travelers passing by couldn't help but crack jokes about it with their companions when they saw this thing. Many even went to the edge of the city walls

"Let's go, sister, let's go upstairs. Nanxi was just too angry, that's why she spoke like that. In her heart, she really has a sharp tongue but a soft heart," Mingyi said, then pulled Lin Nian'an upstairs.

"I have something to do tonight. I made it very clear when I came to apply: I don't do social engagements!" Li Meijie said calmly and composedly in a low voice.

"At the time, I didn't know that Brother Shangguan was dying for you, and I still yelled at him, saying, 'I'm willing to die in Guo'er's place—what about you? What can you do?' I... I really wronged Brother Shangguan too much!" Duan Qing said, covering her face.

In Liu Qinglun's office, Du Yuanxi and Du Ruoxi were asking him about the matter of Lan Xingyan being admitted.

The man smiled faintly, his fair hand lifting slightly, gently wiping away the tear traces at the corner of my eye, trailing a waft of elegant sandalwood.

By the time she finished freshening up and came out, Ling Xiao had already bathed and changed into another set of clean clothes.

"Because the pig demon's meat can't be eaten. Even though it's dead, its entire body still retains demonic Qi. It's definitely not good for people to eat. As for what exactly the consequences of eating it would be, I don't know either. It's better not to eat it," Feng Qingqing said to the classmates who wanted to eat the pig demon's meat.

Although Tang Guo hadn't been frightened by his handling of the Daxi matter, he still thought it best not to keep a stern face and question her coldly—otherwise, what if he frightened Tang Guo?

What Tang Guo didn't know was that here, a female accepting an orc's invitation to live in his cave meant that this female had approved of this orc's pursuit, informing others that this orc was the female's top-priority choice for a partner. To put it clearly in Tang Guo's modern terms, the two were in a fiancé-fiancée relationship.

A moment later, without giving her any say in the matter, he scooped her up in his arms and strode toward the hotel guest rooms.

"Surpass me? Are you sure you can do it?" A faint aura rose from the Eldest Prince, making Suoluo's expression shift slightly. The Eldest Prince before his eyes seemed to instantly become incomparably towering. An invisible pressure bore down on Suoluo, making his gaze grow slightly grave.

"Roar of the Fire Dragon!!!" Taking advantage of Chai Hua using wind to bind the last water clone, Qing Tian loudly roared out the skill's name.

Where was there any trace of fear on Tang Rao's face? His heart was like a pool of dead water, unable to stir up the slightest ripple.

Behind Murong Ziying, Yun Tianhe and Han Lingsha were not idle either, each employing their own methods to shatter the fragments of stone that Murong Ziying had no time to attend to.

Most importantly, Undead Space skills fundamentally could not be upgraded with skill points; they could only grow stronger as Suoluo's own strength increased.

King Chu Jian gave a resounding shout, immortal light bursting from his chest as divine seals and Dao patterns manifested one after another, radiating divinity. Each one emitted the resonant sound of the Great Dao, and immediately after, these divine seals and Dao patterns wove together, transforming into chains of order that firmly pinned into the void, sealing off an entire domain.

Indeed, he hadn't even dared to bring out the Calamity—otherwise Ouyang Xiong and Daoist Sanfeng would have already died a thousand times over.

Before Kakashi, before the gazes of the crowd, Sekai removed the forehead protector worn around his neck.

Behind Kakashi as he thrust the White Fang Blade into her body, Sekai also heard a crisp cracking sound.

The other party was truly cunning, tampering with the letter paper and calculating precisely that Lord Zhamo would tear up the letter, letting the purple powder burst forth at the moment of least vigilance.

The officials in the court were even more lavish in their suspicion of Xu Da's actions, believing that Xu Da had truly grown old and could no longer fight wars.

"Sorry, I forgot—you're in a soul state." Hua Fei scratched his head and said awkwardly.

And his reaction, in Li Feng's eyes, truly didn't seem like an act. Li Feng deliberated over his words and actions, which fit her conjecture perfectly—he had been overstimulated.

"Haha, none of you can move anymore, right?" Just then, an arrogant laugh was heard. A man climbed up from the ground—it was none other than Lin Qingyun.

Lan Yunxi nearly coughed blood. She hastily tugged at her dress to take it off—this outfit that cost one or twenty thousand absolutely could not be worn.

With a shift of thought, he returned to the privy, washed his hands, and upon coming out, happened to arrive right after Princess Taikang.

They wanted to use the old titled lady's death to push Xiao Nanjin into a position of being unfilial, unrighteous, and inhumane, reviled by all?

An Jing looked at Ye Zhi, then looked at Gong Juechen, feeling that after last night, these two had become somehow different. Though she didn't know what was different, she felt it was a good thing—at the very least, she could see that their feelings for each other had improved greatly and grown much closer.

"Well, alright then." Sonoda Umi thought about it and still didn't continue to object. Over the years, her level of trust in Kosaka Honoka was also extremely high.

Seeing that Yan Sheng was unwilling to take in this person, Su Xi turned her head to look at the master of the Autumn Palace across from them—Jin Shuo.

When those four words were spoken, everyone grew tense, holding their guns as they entered the bunkers set up within the station.

That night, Xiao Xiao indeed stayed at the Mu household. Old Man Mu and Mu Jinhua both watched him like hawks, staring at Xiao Xiao until he was baffled.

Just as Miaoyu and Tamara had said, the remaining Cossack soldiers were only deliberately left behind by the Self-Governing Army, serving as training targets for some new Self-Governing Army recruits.

Furthermore, Bukui was itself a military-civilian integrated government office, and would also bear leadership responsibility over newly established prefectures and counties in the future.

Tang Zhentian, the sect master of the Tang Sect, jumped up directly upon hearing Zhang Xiaofeng's words and hurriedly said to Zhang Xiaofeng.

Immediately, the white-haired old man was seen about to say something more, but was once again interrupted by Zhang Xiaofeng.

Xiao Zhan smiled again. He picked up the scalpel from the ground and, with speed too fast for the eye to follow, jabbed it toward the bodies of the three geniuses.

The Dragon Kings made as if to resist, but the starving ghosts unexpectedly vanished all at once. The precious pearl stopped spinning, the pitch-black sky cleared up, sunlight shone everywhere, blue sky and white clouds appeared—as though nothing had happened at all.

Judging from both sides' strength, although Tang San had confidence in himself, he absolutely would not blindly charge head-on into a direct clash.
