Volume 1, Chapter 145: Qin Bao Promoted Once More, Grand Academician of the Hall of Literary Glory!

Emperor Xuanwu looked at Peng Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, and prompted, “Minister Peng, you are a veteran of the Ministry of Personnel, well-versed in the promotion and commendation of officials. Qin Bao slew the Xiongnu Chanyu and earned nearly ten million taels of silver, bringing a treasure trove to Liang State. How should he be rewarded?”

Peng Yuan’s cheek twitched slightly, his fist clenched tightly within his sleeve.

“You demon still remember me, you degenerate of the evil clan! Today, I shall see your life ended here!” Xue Fei pressed two fingers against the blue sword and struck towards Xie Wuhuang. She had no intention of letting that old man’s poisonous blood stain her robes.

It was well known among the people of Yuzhou that Hua Lou was close to Cai Wu, and inevitably, someone would inform the Liao family. It was better for her to say it herself.

After crying, washing her face, and with her eyelids slightly swollen, those black, onyx-like eyes, cleansed by tears, sparkled brilliantly, full of vitality.

A peaceful parting? Did they really expect me to imitate a movie and simply part ways? No, I cannot do that. Even a divorce demands a painful adjustment period. Besides, I love this man. How could I just let go without trying? I refuse to accept that.

A dense mist suddenly appeared around the purple figure, enveloping it layer upon layer, transforming into countless sword energies that pierced toward the purple silhouette.

With a flick of the left hand, the icy river shattered, the mountains trembled halfway up, and a colossal ice-piercing projectile, as cold as profound ice, charged forth, turning everything in its path into blocks of ice.

Yet, despite possessing such power, he still invited Jiang Hen to collaborate—his sinister intentions were blatant.

Cautiously following behind those two, Leng Yan’er and Mu Yan grew uneasy as they recognized the increasingly familiar path. When the pair stopped near the Murong estate, Mu Yan’s unease deepened.

After undressing, I was dismayed to find that my period had arrived, and when I got out of bed to find a sanitary pad, I realized I had none left.

“Go away,” Yun Moyu flicked her hand, snatching back the card from his palm, then fled in tears.

She gasped for breath, hands pressed on the table, body leaning forward slightly, as if she wished to reach out and choke Luo Nan with her bare hands.

“Very well, since you are the emperor’s most trusted confidant, I shall ask you this: what must I do to make the emperor love me again?” The empress asked earnestly.

Only in front of his brothers did Long Teng shed his usual solemnity. After all, deep in his bones, he lacked the dignity of a ruler. Though a member of the dragon clan, Long Teng yearned more than anyone else for recognition and brotherly affection.

“Hmph, your method is peculiar. Without utensils or seasoning, the taste must be mediocre. I won’t eat it!” With that, he flicked his hand and resumed swordplay with Jun Moli.

In the future, the majority who settle here will be magicians. With so many magicians residing here, when the beast tide comes, won’t they protect their homeland? If this place were destroyed, they would regret it for a lifetime! Is there any place elsewhere comparable to this?

“Brothers, charge! Whoever kills him, I shall appoint as elder!” Wei Hai shouted from afar. Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately sprang to life, charging toward Sword Spring as if injected with adrenaline.

Then, Sun Wukong retracted his staff, stood in midair, and with both furry palms, unleashed the divine power of “Rotating Creation.” His eyes flashed with fierce light.

Luo Nan had been sensing the thoughts and emotions of the lion demon beast all along, anticipating its moves perfectly. Thus, what seemed perilous was in fact a skillful game of cat and mouse, gradually wearing down its vitality.

But Sword Spring’s attack was not without countermeasures. It sought to strike true every time, to win by surprise! A flash of golden light, and the qi sword wielded by Sword Spring’s fingertips instantly transformed into three identical weapons, attacking Zhao Yi from three directions.
