Chapter 171: The Imperial Consort's Reward! Empress: You Shameless Thief, No Kissing Allowed!

Tiandu City.

The east turned the color of a fish belly, and the faint morning light shifted from ink-black to dark cyan, as if a thin veil were draped over the Imperial Palace, with a faint, eerie glow shimmering on the glazed tiles of the palace eaves.

The sound of light, hurried footsteps echoed through the corridors as palace servants, carrying washing supplies and meals, moved silently through the halls.

Hanxiao Palace.

Xu Qingyi sat on the stone steps in front of the hall, hugging her knees.

She had sat there in silence for an entire night, her beautiful hair dampened by the cold dew, her eyes—

Taking advantage of the momentum of their charge, Taishi Ci’s troops, after breaking into the city, sent the enemies near the city gate into a chaotic rout, leaving them utterly defeated.

You must not be reckless; many geniuses like you who chose this path either fell into demonic cultivation or even died outright.

This scene was terrifying; Yang Zheng’s eyes seemed to peer through all the heavens and myriad worlds, his gaze capable of tracking ten thousand enemies.

The Sect Master watched him quietly without speaking, as if waiting for him to digest what she had just said. A hint of a smile hung at the corners of her mouth beneath her veil; although Han Fei did not know it, she had long been very familiar with him.

The mutated Corpse Saint Hand was just like the elephant’s retort to the snake, because he truly resembled it; the position where his neck connected was not near his jaw, but at the back of his head—in other words, he had no back of his head at all. Isn’t this exactly the same as the elephant’s retort to the snake?

Zhang Xingming did not take it to heart at all; as a company grows larger and more profitable, it is impossible for there to be no issues. The differences in human nature are too vast, and not everyone knows how to be grateful or content.

In the dark, the moment Li Xuan obtained the Orb of Deception, he seemed to have already understood how to use it. The next moment, his figure blurred, and when it stabilized again, he had transformed into a burly black orc.

Just then, Liu Bian pulled Lady Xuanhua over once more, and with a roll, pinned her beneath him.

Liu Bian was very calm, truly very calm, but Li Xiuning was even more terrified; the turbulence that follows calm is the most terrifying, just as the ocean often experiences monstrous waves after a period of stillness.

"It’s actually quite possible; after all, we’ve never seen this senior student before. He might be challenging the Heavenly Rankings for the first time, not understanding the rules, and fearing that this divine light might be dangerous," someone analyzed.

Regarding this plan, Wei Qian felt a heart full of gratitude. In terms of strength alone within the team, who could contend with Mo Chen? Although killing the exotic beast was a collective effort of the team, who didn't know that the one who delivered the fatal blow was usually the hero? Even if Mo Chen kept this opportunity for himself, it would be understandable; no one could criticize him for it.

Seeing this fruit, Mo Chen almost jumped up. An exotic fruit—that’s right, it was an exotic fruit, only it was different from the one he had found; this exotic fruit had withered because it lacked an energy supply before it could ripen.

"If she can truly become a member of the Blood Clan, she would be a friend worth making. By the way, go investigate the person behind her; although I don't think there will be any results, the gesture must still be made."

It was too late. Cang Li and Meng Feng shook their heads, listening to the warning the Kara Empire soldier gave his companion, and exchanged a cold sneer before Meng Feng used his powerful bow to shoot him dead.

Many of the surrounding freshmen remained silent, but those who knew Wu Xufeng all cheered in unison, almost all of them standing on Wu Xufeng’s side.

"This..." Zheng Sihai could not explain it either, stammering for a long time without being able to utter a single word.

"Heh! What else can I do? You can't expect me to go over there and chase them away, can you?" Ye Kun said helplessly.

Looking from afar, the teaching building and the dormitory building seemed to be covered by a veil. Whether it was an illusion or not, lights turned on in the classrooms of the teaching building, windows opened, and a humming sound unique to schools drifted out, as if thousands of students were making noise during a break.
