Chapter 136: The Empress

The same color patterns that appeared on Hemanas now surfaced on Baili Yuan, making him look even more dazzling and handsome.

But they never expected the opponent to disdain even lifting a hand—instead, he simply realigned their dislocated bones.

As a delegate with unknown reproductive capacity and a frail body no sturdier than an O, unless a true-love A or B willing to abandon offspring inheritance took her under his care, in a region frequently plagued by interstellar wars, the delegate would not survive past three episodes even if she escaped the lab's capture.

After reading the message, Ye Qian's lovely face darkened again; she murmured the seven-character nickname, and her leather shoe suddenly stomped hard on the polished floor, producing a harsh scraping sound.

More powerful aquatic beings emerged, and more races appeared—even some sea races previously unable to enter the interior now found ways to do so.

Baili Yuan felt curious and surprised by this change, but only for an instant, as battle was still ongoing.

"Big sister, are you really that eager to marry into…?" Yan Wan Yi viewed Yan Qian Qing as a thorn in her eye and naturally didn't want anyone to sit down so casually in front of her.

His smile froze—Cheng Luyao couldn't possibly miss the sarcasm. Just as he was about to ask, a sharp pain shot through his body; he looked up and burst out laughing in fury.

"You're having water channels built right next to my farm—how am I supposed to stay calm? If they cut straight through the middle of my farm, who am I supposed to cry to?" Yu Fei said irritably.

"Gu Zhiqiu, what's wrong? Are you unwell?" At that moment, I sensed something off about Gu Zhiqiu—she seemed locked in terrible struggle, trembling all over, and I couldn't help but worry.

A gentleman's word is binding—four horses cannot catch up! How much more so for a sovereign? Once his golden mouth speaks, there is no room for retreat.

"This is hard to explain—Qingxue truly vanished. But I've heard of another record suggesting she hasn't fully disappeared; there may still be a chance to see her." Ye You thought for a moment—this was something he discovered after I left, but he thought it unnecessary to trouble me, so he didn't tell me.

And without fully understanding, it had already recognized a master—possibly the first Qilin divine beast in history to submit to an ordinary mortal, which was somewhat humiliating.

Meanwhile, Da Quan—who had barely appeared in this incident and was merely a minor supporting character—began to step onto the stage.

Cai Zhixiong muttered a curse, then grabbed Chu Yun and Ruo Fei and dashed after them as a lingering shadow.

As her aura shifted, Gong Qi's own aura sharpened, carrying a chilling, deadly energy; metallic elemental qi surged across her skin, connecting with the sword in her hand.

Although Ling Xi was the first to attain the Divine Emperor title during the Divine Emperor Contest, and although she once waged wars across the land, over these fifteen years she had remained silent, speaking almost never.

He used the Array Spirit to guide his direction and track Lin Yaoyang, while simultaneously diverting part of his mind to observe this new ability—the World Scar.

Many alchemists, artifact craftsmen, and soul-tamers were present at this auction, clearly here for the Star Cloud Lingzhi.

He used his martial skills to block the incoming arrows, but his Youyan Iron Cavalry were not so lucky.

Shen Ni thought carefully—if Gu Qingyun's involvement led to Xiao Feng's promotion, and Gu Qingyun later turned on him, Xiao Feng's future would be ruined.

Several elegantly dressed individuals stood before the crowd; when they saw that the person descending was indeed Xuan Zhengqing, their tense expressions eased considerably.

Lin Rong entered the ancestral hall respectfully, purchased incense and candles for offerings, completed every ritual properly, then withdrew with equal reverence.

Lin Rong stood high above and pressed his palm downward several times before finally silencing the roaring cheers from all around.

The moment she imagined that scene, her whole body trembled—whether or not she bribed, escape was nearly impossible.

Xiao Fang didn't overthink it—he accepted it readily, tried it on right there, and praised Mi Zhen's craftsmanship endlessly.

Yan Chu knew she was completely naked beneath the blankets; recalling how passionately she had clung to him last night, his deep pupils darkened with desire as he stared fixedly at Sheng Xia.

Headless arrows met head-on, silver spear thrusts caught every strike; countless headless arrows fell within the range of the silver spear.

After finishing her tasks, she returned to her room and found the scroll titled "Great Unity" quietly pressed beneath the bowl.

At that moment, a group arrived at the ward door; from their conversation with the doctor, I learned they were the old man's family.

But as I glanced sideways at Xu Ce, I suddenly noticed he looked utterly calm, his expression serene.

The next day, the municipal discipline inspection team arrived and immediately suspended Hu Jiahui's duties, taking her away for investigation.

Jiang Wan locked herself in her room, refusing to come out, and didn't sit down to eat with Jiang Weizhong for two full days.

The Ork Dynasty's architecture prized grandeur—each building stood dozens of meters tall, especially the fortress gates, towering majestically; even after the city had been destroyed for centuries, it still inspired awe.

For the next several days, I didn't see Wang Xue at all—she had previously fawned over me excessively, even craving sugarcane at midnight.

Jiang Nanqiu awoke again, lying in her own bed, with the Liu aunt who had helped her earlier seated beside her.

Second, Chen Jingyun felt his luck had become absurdly good—perhaps under heavenly protection—and he should do more good deeds to accumulate merit.

Yan Ci stammered, hesitating, as if something deeply troubling urgently needed to be discussed—but for some reason, she swallowed the words back down.

Thus, at this moment, Chen Hao was completely naked, wearing only this single "treasure."

Benzema thought Mourinho was favoring Ighain, because Yanqiang and Men Des had grown close, while he himself had no grudges or special ties with anyone. Benzema complained to Zidane, who told him to go see Zhuo Yang.

Chen Hao didn't care about this point—because this trip to Zhuyang Garden had truly been worth it.

Though masked, the Silver Medal Killer's eyes were slightly narrowed—presumably, he believed success was assured.
