Since she is my daughter with Xingzhu, I will discipline her properly and never let her repeat past mistakes or do anything wicked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Ti regarded him for a moment: “Prince Zhenan had best have a clear understanding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering a while and finding no answers, Tianxuanzi glanced toward the direction where the other had vanished, then looked again toward Juyong Town, sighed lightly, and said: “To meet is as if not meeting. Perhaps one day...” He looked once more toward Juyong Town, then vanished using the technique of shrinking distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, after the Southern Migration of the Song Dynasty, the state’s finances had reached the brink of collapse, and salaries could barely be paid in full. In his first month in Lin’an, he received only one dou of rice, half a chi of cloth, and a single pair of shoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after clarifying these matters did Ting Shu realize why Qibird of the Seventh Night could control the Flame of Life—it was sheer coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, my jewelry is gone!” In her panic, she dropped the formal address and used the childhood term instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The broadsword plunged deep into the wight’s arm, sinking several centimeters, but failed to sever it. Meanwhile, Mans could not pull it free and refused to let go. As the wight swung its hammer toward him, Li Lingyi abandoned the attack, spun the spear tip, deflected the chain hammer, and instantly yanked Mans backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Li Mu had previously returned the card to the invaders, so he summoned Saber again and asked her to bring the item along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Fuman who said this; Yang Yi glanced at him in surprise. The man had failed to protect even Yang Yi and Grete, and now looked like a swollen pig’s head—where did he get the nerve to promise protection for everyone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though just born, the Qingmian Bird felt a touch of resentment toward battle, yet its blood still carried warlike instincts; thus, the novel concept of battle intrigued it deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the game’s main progression settings, Li Lingyi found that Maochangjingyan  was straightforward—he had indeed set exactly one hundred floors, and all remaining bosses were present. But Li Lingyi found it too tedious and compressed all floors into a single final one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At dawn, a thin mist drifted among the pines and cypresses in the courtyard; soon, several skylarks perched on the branches, chirping loudly as if welcoming the rising red sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With movements too subtle for Lota to discern, she curled her tail into a knot, securing it to shield her vulnerable body parts. She slowly retreated, trembling as she watched Lota.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then marry her,” Du Ziyan asked in confusion. “There’s no rule forbidding humans and demons from uniting. She once gave your family a pearl that made you rich beyond measure—now bringing her home can only be a good thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Life is the greatest miracle in the world,” the Aowang  remarked. Even with her power, she could not penetrate the mysteries of the Blood Devouring Demon Body—it had blocked her entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the greatest of all Dashi , after all... after all, the opponent possessed technology and strength far beyond yours, capable of wiping you out in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The armor stood over two and a half meters tall, its head rounded with no visible seams. Except for slender, translucent black material installed over the eyes, which occasionally glowed red, the entire face bore no ornamentation whatsoever—not even a standard respirator inlet or outlet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daini smiled in reply, then returned to her seat and ignored those around her. She lowered her head, teasing Lota with her fingers, scratching under his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From “brothers” to spouses with Lan Ziyou, their love may have been naive, yet those months were etched indelibly into memory; now, from spouses back to “brothers,” it was not enough to simply let go—her heart had never felt so “turbulent.”\u003C\u002Fp>",712,"2026-06-19T22:30:32.558Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0ac867ca057d0ba86c4d180c579870f5ad49a18297a99c6703c38cbb89be22ad","thirteen-years-as-king-of-the-great-song-i-learn-chapter-258","thirteen-years-as-king-of-the-great-song-i-learn-chapter-256",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthirteen-years-as-king-of-the-great-song-i-learn-cover.jpg"]
