Chapter 204

Fang Qingye thought for a moment and said, “Magistrate Miao, I don’t believe General Song Qingdong would do such a thing—he truly had no knowledge of it. If he had known, he would never have allowed his subordinates to act this way.”

“Hahahaha…” Miao Hongbin laughed. “They say you’re close to Song Qingdong—turns out it’s true. But Old Song is still a decent man; though he likes to grab advantages, he knows his limits. I won’t press this matter further. But his eldest son…”

But as soon as they entered Wu Lian’s mansion, the lecherous crown prince made an excuse to bathe and change clothes, then vanished.

“That still doesn’t prove anything—what if the Shadow also likes to use this kind of powder?” Qin Shang deliberately mimicked her tone in reply.

Han Chengchi didn’t react. He instinctively felt a bitter taste in his mouth and wanted to smoke, but when he reached for his pocket, he remembered he was in a hospital and let his hand drop. Without showing any expression, he nodded slightly. After a pause, as if remembering something, he turned his head to look at Shengshi.

“Eat more of this—then you’ll never have painful periods again,” he said to her seriously.

Not to mention the array protecting the imperial city—he could activate one or two arrays under the emperor’s name, enough to trap Murong Yinzhu.

From that gentle face, not a trace of regret could be found. Guan Yunqiao, who had always wanted to crush her into fragments, now felt a tremendous force surging through his blood, rushing along his veins toward his palms, concentrating entirely in his two fists.

A jolt threw her nearly off; her outstretched hand instinctively retracted, and she clung to the horse’s neck.

Bai Zhenghan cut off his wife’s words. What shouldn’t have happened had already happened; the situation had reached this point and could not be undone.

Jin Yang suddenly grew visibly agitated. Without thinking, he raised his hand and rolled down the car window.

Qingyun frowned. He hadn’t expected that Qian, such a pivotal senior minister, could behave so unbecomingly.

It was equivalent to stabbing straight into Chu’s heartland—the very foundation the old Chu state had cultivated for seven hundred years.

Though still in mourning, they couldn’t hold a grand palace banquet, but gathering as a family, seeing each other, speaking a few words—surely that was still possible.

But he only sighed inwardly; now that his strength had greatly increased, and with the Barrett as a major weapon, and the Haihai Divine Needle guarding the skies, he generally had nothing to worry about.

Jiang Fan suddenly remembered and pointed at the hotel manager, shouting. Jiang Fan’s voice drew Sun Xun’s attention; Sun Xun then walked over to Jiang Fan’s side.

Had Su Jie not uncovered it that day, how could he have discovered the conversation between Lü Buwei and Lao Ai? Thus, he secretly switched the roles, steering Lao Ai toward Lü Buwei.

“I have good news!” Gou Haodong heard his own heavy breathing through the receiver.

After hearing Jiang Fan’s words, the old Daoist said nothing, only smiled faintly, then swept his dust whisk before him, a hint of mysterious light shining in his eyes.

Unfortunately, Jing Shi Jin Lian’s techniques were too difficult for Yun Ming and the others to learn—if they could master them, combined with his own combat methods, Yun Ming’s combat power would be even more terrifying.

The city lord’s mansion’s defenses were far from as lax as they appeared; the commotion at the gate had already been noticed by the guards inside. Seeing their captain fall, the guards did not panic but instead formed a strange battle array to confront Zhang Hao and Zhang Er.

Amidst the crowd’s attention, Perona, holding a red umbrella, floated lightly above their heads, staring at them with wide round eyes, two nearly transparent giant tongue ghosts coiled around her slender frame.

“You mean the World Government was once an aggressor?” Teg’s expression turned icy. His Fish-Man Kingdom’s queen still clung desperately to the hope of peace through the World Government—now, looking back, it seemed laughable and tragic. To seek peace this way was pure fantasy.
