Ruan Li's gaze fell upon the sky outside the window. Due to the refraction of sunlight, she could faintly perceive what seemed to be a layer of a glass dome covering the sky at this moment.
"What is that?"
Xihan raised his eyes and walked over to Ruan Li's side.
As a beastman with high-star abilities, his five senses were naturally exceptionally sharp, allowing him to clearly hear the sounds of fighting outside the house.
Bai He saw that he had merely shifted his position, showing no curiosity whatsoever about what was happening in the outside world.
"Silly girl!" He smiled and stood up. He gently embraced her, then collapsed onto the bed behind them. At a little past four in the morning, Gao Weizhi got up to wash and get ready to catch his flight. He walked over to the bed, looked at Ruxian who was fast asleep, bent down to kiss her lips, and then left reluctantly.
In the hall, only Murong Chu, Ning Huan, and Nangong Wan remained, while Chilian, An Shuo, Yinglü, and the others waited outside.
Although it would be somewhat difficult for Zhao Beidou to make a political comeback, if someone who had once openly supported Prince Yu could return to the stage, it would signify a change in the emperor's attitude toward the three princes.
He felt that having her entangled by his side brought him immense happiness. In the realm of emotions, there is inevitably a constant intertwining and pulling back and forth.
An Lushan shook his body, the rolls of fat on his face and body quivering with the movement, making it seem as though even walking was a challenge for him.
Upon hearing her words, Ouyang Feng instantly felt a wave of difficulty in breathing. He raised a hand to press against his aching chest and nodded gently to indicate his agreement with An Jiayuan's words.
Her eyes brimmed with tears as she stared at him blankly. Yuan Zixia understood the struggle and pain within his heart.
The ground surrounding Jingtian Peak suddenly shook violently, and dozens of thick yellow beams of light erupted from the earth. Each one measured four to five zhang in diameter, piercing straight into the clouds.
"If we are going to fight, let's fight fair and square. Always resorting to framing others like this, is there any meaning in it?" Murong Chu curled the corners of his lips and said.
"President, I didn't say anything! What you heard just now was just auditory hallucinations! Hallucinations!" Waving her hands with a bitter expression, Mi You shrank back into the corner. Her one and half billion! Her one and half billion!
"Please don't stand on ceremony. You and I can be considered to have a bond of fate, and we will surely meet again another day. Since you are dressed like this, you had better leave through the back door." Lu Ling'er also stood up.
After packing their luggage and arranging palace affairs, just as the sun rose, Ouyang, accompanied by Zhiyun and several children, traveled light and moved into the Old Summer Palace.
In the end, everyone was more familiar with the things brought by Zhongshan, so after discussion, it was decided that Shi would lead the clansmen to the Jumang Tribe, while Lang would lead a group to the Rusong Tribe.
Shangguan Feng and Xuanyuan Ye were still fast asleep when a eunuch suddenly arrived to deliver an imperial decree stating that the Emperor summoned the Seventh Prince Xuanyuan Ye to enter the palace immediately to discuss the marriage alliance involving Princess Zhaoyang.
This left Old Man Wu so furious that his beard and eyebrows twitched, leading to yet another fierce bout of bantering between the grandfather and grandson.
Tian Tian knew that Madam Qin could not possibly have genuinely wanted her to weed and loosen the soil for her flowers and plants; it was merely an attempt to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere created by Ruan Mengxue. She immediately dismissed the thought. Besides, how Ruan Mengxue chose to pester Mu Qinghan was a matter between cousins, and Tian Tian, as an outsider, truly had no right to meddle.
Qu Ziqian and Qi Weize had never expected anyone to come and spoil their plans, and emboldened by their lust, they hadn't even locked the car doors. Now that the door was suddenly flung open, they were thoroughly startled.
After a long while, Xiong Xiaobai recovered slightly. She set Anweichen down on the ground, crawled over herself, and closed and locked the door.
"...Fukin, the Gege has not eaten properly for days. The Gege she, the Gege she..." Mama Liu stammered for a moment, tongue-tied for quite some time, and apart from weeping and pleading, she ultimately failed to give a clear explanation.
With a hiss, a pitch-black aura of death was released from the Lich King's hand, instantly enveloping the malevolent blood before him. After about three minutes, the Lich King slowly withdrew the death aura, leaving the once half-person-sized pool of malevolent blood reduced to a single black-and-red bead the size of a fist.
