Chapter 113

Qin Fengyi’s first birthday banquet in the Southern Yi region was naturally wildly festive; not only did all officials, from top to bottom, attend, but even local tribes were granted the honor of participation. Moreover, since Qin Fengyi had spent twenty years as a merchant, he always favored merchants, and several major merchants’ owners were also invited to attend the Prince’s birthday celebration.

Da Yang was overjoyed when his grandfather agreed. Emperor Jing’an instructed Da Yang, “When you return, tell your father it was Grandfather who invited you to see the phoenix. He came along merely to accompany you.” Emperor Jing’an still cared deeply for Qin Fengyi’s dignity.

Since Chen Mohan refused to meet him in Yun City, upon returning to Jiangcheng, he threw himself into work day and night—only by doing so could he dull the ache of missing her.

Dai Yuechan was merely average in looks, yet her two cousins were breathtakingly beautiful, evoking pity at just a glance.

Then, to our stunned gazes, I suddenly saw Huang Simin’s tears swell into a vast flood.

“You insisted on asking.” Qin Fengyi shifted all blame onto Zhao, the Chief Secretary, who felt even more miserable.

Yi Shangyu was a general who didn’t look like one. Compared to his legendary reputation as a god of war, he always appeared reserved and refined.

Throughout our time together, he was deeply considerate of my feelings and attended to every small detail of my daily life.

Thus, the two previous outcomes led onlookers to conclude that Qin Xiu had merely been lucky—the third round wouldn’t be the same.

Ying Zhiwen looked at her and cut off his own words. It seemed Lyu Hui’s thoughts diverged slightly from his own.

Luo Hui was promoted to Thousand-Household, a rank of the fifth rank proper, and by custom should have held a banquet to celebrate. But amid this national crisis, Luo Hui dared not do such a thing. He only wished to quietly report to the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters.

His current anger likely stems from wanting me to realize and clearly understand my own place.

It wasn’t overly expensive, but the scalpers’ prices were outrageous—what should have cost a few hundred yuan was now marked up to a thousand. There was nothing to be done; you couldn’t get it, they did. You had to accept it and figure out a better way next time—without cheating.

A princess suddenly appearing gave Luo Hui a headache, but he had no choice but to temporarily bring her back to the county magistrate’s office.

“If Second Auntie thinks my gift is inappropriate, I’ll take it back! Let Annie send a suitable one instead!” Lin Xi walked up to Second Auntie.

This was merely speculation; the true situation could only be known once events unfolded. Forget it—none of this concerns me much.

The latrine was far away; after turning the corner, one had to climb two flights of stairs to return to the side chambers—this was precisely why Huo Yunqian insisted on accompanying Huo Tang’er.

Indeed, slain monsters could be absorbed by the Soul-Draining Staff, turning into energy. So the question arose: were the monsters here more sinister, or was Ye Zilan even more so? He Ming felt uneasy.

Everyone pushed against the door. At the very moment they exerted force, they regretted it—the door wasn’t meant to be pushed open; it was absorbing everyone’s magical essence.

Atreus hesitated. When he saw the soft glow emanating from the holy sword in his hand, the image of millions of Illys cheering for him flashed into his mind—and in that instant, he finally made his choice.

Li Haidong finished speaking and introduced Su You and Han Zhen: “This is Wang Zong, the owner of the 4S dealership I mentioned earlier.”

Once Xiong Kuo Hai spoke, things changed. He was the former Vanguard Commander and the Young Master’s shadow—if he said yes, then yes. No one else objected; all nodded in agreement.

Don’t be fooled by Tautai’s harmless appearance—if it revealed its sharp claws and fangs, even ordinary Pre-Heaven Master-level cultivators wouldn’t stand a chance against it.

A person’s mindset changes with age and environment. Years later, when Shen Tong looked back on this “unambitious” thought of his own, he found it laughable.

Using scheming against the White Tigers was naturally correct for Li Xu. After the ban on the thirty White Tigers was lifted, they didn’t flee or fight Li Xu—they charged into the battle between the White Tiger and Fei Jiaolong and all knelt before the White Tiger.

Joke. Jiang Jieyun only blushed and showed shame when teased by her. As for his thick skin, his mental resilience, his sheer audacity—no matter how humiliating the situation, that man would never feel the slightest embarrassment.

To eradicate Ye Tian’s undisciplined, lawless nature, Tang Weiguo designed a Mogui training regimen for him, stricter even than that endured by veteran special forces.

Though the sky remained dark, Kratos’s hawk-like eyes had already sharply spotted a group of over a hundred on the ground ahead—its leader was unmistakably Luca and Koller.

Before I could finish speaking, a cry for help suddenly erupted from the dense forest beside us. We leapt up and ran toward the source of the scream.

Glancing at the stunned expressions of those around her, Su Mei glared at Lu Chen beside her. Without caring for the shocked stares, she dragged Lu Chen into the elevator.

“Do you know how much effort went into this wine? And you? You guzzle it like a cow. Don’t talk about two bottles—you’ve drained even one.” Xi Mujiu looked at him, pouting slightly—a gesture that nearly made Zheng Kai bleed from the nose. He pressed a hot towel to his nostrils and took several deep breaths.

The most crucial point: if Zhou Jie gains advantages within the Wahuang Palace, will he share any of it with them?

The Heaven-Commanding Great Weapon clashed in midair, shaking mountains and rivers, stirring wails of ghosts and gods—but moments later, all sound vanished, leaving only a rain of light cascading toward the heavens.
