Volume One, Chapter 66: The Loyal Prince Trapped!

Qin Bao saw that Kong Yingda was about to play matchmaker and spoke up, “Senior brother, His Majesty has approved my union with the princess, but I suggest we wait. Let me earn some achievements before marrying her.”
Kong Yingda smiled and replied, “That’s fine.”
Qin Bao continued, “When I do get married, I hope you’ll preside as the representative of the groom’s family.”
“Of course, no problem!”
Ever since Sun Shike married Zhu Shoubei, their newlywed days had been sweet and blissful. Yet Zhu Shoubei was a rough man, and had a maid named Xue Yun who had accompanied him for years. With a third party between them, Sun Shike couldn’t help but feel troubled. That was why she returned to her aunt’s house to ease her heart.
Fang Tingjiang, naturally acquainted with Fan Hehua, frowned slightly upon seeing her like this. He didn’t delay, and immediately ran to notify Fan Hehua’s husband, who was still attending the rice-giving banquet.
No matter what, Feng Jie’s arrival caused quite a stir here. As she entered the council hall, the long queue outside suddenly scattered. Everyone crowded toward the entrance, eager to see what was happening inside.
Qiao Huaping was leading her maids, settling into their new quarters, unaware that her arrival with her son had nearly overturned the city outside.
“It really isn’t easy. You actually agreed!” Sha Xue’s smile blossomed like a flower. Now she could show off to her brother for real.
The path she chose was dangerous, and though she had many cards up her sleeve, what if something went wrong? She didn’t want to drag An Yuan into danger.
Xie Yanzhou’s lashes trembled slightly. At that time, she had taken a gamble. No matter how awkward things were, her desire to marry him was sincere—not because he was the eldest son of the Xie family, nor because he was a renowned investor, but simply because he was Xie Yanzhou.
Even if he became her imperial consort in the future, as long as he didn’t meddle in politics, wouldn’t he still be at her mercy?
The accusation was made publicly, plunging the room into sudden silence. Dong Zhenzhu’s expression darkened to its extreme, while Feng Jie smiled serenely, withholding comment and observing the unfolding drama. The others lacked such composure; what had just been a festive atmosphere now shattered like thunder, and startled voices erupted everywhere.
Zhou Ziwei seemed to overhear some of the common people’s conversations. Her heart was firm: no matter what, she would always hold true to her current resolve and never let the people down.
These two bigwigs might have caught on, but that didn’t mean those at the ocean monitoring station did. Seeing the giant torpedoes charging directly toward the port without slowing, they nearly sounded the alarm in fright.
There were many new faces in the crowd as well, neither from the Glory Dynasty nor from the Dark Order of Knights, but… members of the Brotherhood! Magic Robe held the highest rank of ‘Legend’ in the Brotherhood, so recruiting freelancers with posted tasks was effortless for him.
Now that Jing’er had escaped the True Martial Secret Realm, the Heavenly Demon King, who valued Jing’er greatly, would surely break out to search for her. So he had to leave Tianyun Sect at once.
“That’s about enough.” Lin Jie’s eyes flashed. He dumped out all the raw meat. The experimental subject immediately abandoned the nearby guards and rushed toward the food.
“So this is the trap you had hidden away?” The middle-aged Void cultivator, apparently sensing no danger, scoffed and questioned.
In terms of scent detection, Boske was no match for Yang Cheng. All he could do was minimize loopholes and mistakes as much as possible.
ps: The second update is here. Last time, everyone easily solved the riddle, which made this humble monk realize he underestimated your wisdom. This letter’s puzzle is much harder; the solution will be revealed soon. I wonder which one of you will discern the clues.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen clasped the two beast pearls in his hands and began cultivating according to the second seal’s technique. As soon as his true energy circulated, one beast pearl instantly shattered, sending a wave of icy energy into his dantian. The immense power of the pearl filled his dantian to the brim, almost to bursting.
