You two big guys at home didn’t bother preparing anything ahead of time? You just wait for me to come back and do all the work?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It snowed hard yesterday, so the fruit vendor didn’t come out—I bought calcium milk biscuits instead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Instead? Can this stuff even substitute? Why don’t you go ask Old Li’s ancestors if they’d be willing to take your place? Why don’t you just pay someone to burn incense for you instead? That’d be so much easier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiulu was riding Huohong, occasionally summoning flying birds to ask about the direction of Black Dragon Pond; though she’d heard of such a place, she didn’t know its exact location or how far it was from where they were, so she kept asking the animals in the forest for directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this reminded the Heavenly Sovereign: now the seas overflowed aimlessly because there was no governance—no divine rulers governed the Four Seas, so demons and evil spirits exploited them to ravage coastal civilians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Bing always wore a smiling, amiable expression before Ye Xingfeng; this was a side of Han Bing shown to no one else—not even before Lin Yumeng. If Lin Yumeng knew, she might drink an entire bottle of Shanxi aged vinegar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Tianqi didn’t know what she intended, but since she had repeatedly saved and helped him, he dared not neglect her—he bent down, rubbed his hands in the sand a few times, then smeared the dirt onto his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The bait’s been set—now we just see if Xiao Yunfei bites!” Su Yaorong’s eyes flashed a cold, sinister gleam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Fan had worried for days, fearing their various detection devices might uncover something—but thankfully, the Spirit Gathering Array fell outside the realm of science, so Meng Fan finally relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monarch’s name was Shaodian; originally surnamed Gongsun, he later changed his surname to Ji. Emperor was Shaodian’s son, his mother being Empress Fubao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From then on, “Heaven” sometimes shifted to the other side of the Earth and no longer appeared regularly; people grew accustomed to its increasingly distant and irregular appearances, and by the Xia Dynasty, “Heaven” was named the Moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if possible, eat free-range chickens and their eggs—no matter how clean industrially raised chickens may seem, their vitality is poor and they provide little beneficial nutrition; they’re barely edible junk food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s wonderful—I’ll notify my lawyer to handle all the paperwork for you,” Ma Liana said happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way!!! When Li Dong wakes up, don’t tell him what just happened—we threatened him with guns, and I’m afraid he’ll grow distant from us all!” Liu Tianshi warned the group anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the room, lying on the bed, his bones ached as if they’d shattered—he mentally ran through his exam scores again and again, estimating he’d surpassed the cutoff, and only then did his heart finally settle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until Meng Furong lowered her head and saw the photo on her phone screen that she suddenly understood what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Ning Shuiyue, when facing her, had toned down the arrogance and sharpness she normally displayed toward others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In under five minutes of battle, Duan Qiu severed the demon’s left arm with his Ice Dragon Sword—and the Annihilation ability proved effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd kowtowed to the Emperor and Empress Dowager, knelt to see them off from Yuhua Terrace; only when they rose did the true intentions begin to unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to leave was the Sovereign who possessed the Spirit Energy Warship—he didn’t hesitate at all; upon sensing Duan Qiu and the Fire Phoenix’s auras, he vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By Zhao Yi’s order, apart from once delivering bedding to Yang Xiu, the couple had not met in three months; Yang Xiu recounted to Zhao Shi all the punishments she endured in prison. In truth, Zhao Yi had not physically punished Yang Xiu—he had ordered his soldiers and the other prisoners not to speak to her, under penalty of severe punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>",669,"2026-06-20T05:05:02.628Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d692fe918b96b6c309931897a12671a42ea7b3bb8d009d0cc4d4c953e0efab04","that-year-the-flowers-bloomed-in-1981-chapter-854","that-year-the-flowers-bloomed-in-1981-chapter-852",884,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthat-year-the-flowers-bloomed-in-1981-cover.jpg"]
