085 The Old Lady’s Confidant

Afterward, the eldest prince Li Chengqian threw a tantrum and defied his father, the emperor. In the palace, he erected a tombstone for Chengxin and held vigils day and night, refusing to heed anyone's advice. This repeatedly alarmed Emperor Taizong and Empress Zhangsun.

“To forcibly separate a potion with a stable energy chain structure using temperature difference and pressure—though the riskiest method—it compensates for the loss caused by the neighboring contestant’s mistake that resulted in the potion splashing everywhere. The time recovered this way should be enough.”

“Shut up. Do not mention it again. If you bring it up, I’ll tear your mouth apart!” Leng Feifei warned Ye Long, pointing at him.

The tactics were indeed unexpected, but with his abilities, he could certainly see the subtle brilliance within them. In this way, his fighting spirit was indirectly ignited.

The boy snapped his fingers and suddenly split into two, becoming two identical versions of himself.

“Dragon, my sister kicked me out. I have nowhere to go. Wherever you’re headed, why don’t you let me come along?” He Lilong said, looking at Ye Long.

Then he glanced at Hua Murong, whose expression was especially serious. Hua Murong immediately began to lift Fang Xuan’s shoulder.

The Lord of Dream Butterfly Valley sat cross-legged in the center of the grand hall. How long had he been imprisoned here? A year? Two years? Or three? In this radiant hall where daylight never reached, who could truly measure the passage of time?

Old Master Li Fengchao had just lain down, not even closed his eyes, when noises from the side yard disturbed him. Leaning on his cane, he stood at the window on the second floor, watching everything unfold below.

Crescent Moon realized she had been set up, but since she was wearing armor, her left foot was unharmed. She was about to open the animal trap when she noticed two silver spheres ahead. She immediately knew they were Qidiao Ling’s handiwork—she had anticipated Crescent Moon would kneel down to open the trap!

Next, Gears silently handed the blue wafer to a nearby Chinese researcher.

In such a chaotic state, how could the dwarven empire’s arsenal supply so many weapons and equipment? In the end, demand far outstripped supply. Even with overtime production, the dwarven empire’s factories could only arm about four million troops at most—this was their absolute limit.

Xuan Zhen did not answer Yi Ting’s question, but looked strangely at Wesley’s back in a daze.

Furthermore, Premier Chen Huyuan had already clarified in the video that the noble family’s promotion on Mingyuan Star was not an ordinary one, but directly upgraded to a major noble house.

There were also some leaders used to freedom, indifferent to official recruitment. After hearing what Lu Zhishen had said, they harbored more doubts about their prospects after accepting amnesty.

Finally, there was at least one day of rest in the week. Previously, workers had to toil every day, only getting holidays for New Year and City Founding Day. Such lives were undeniably dull. Many workers drank heavily at home, leading to domestic violence, which was, regrettably, unavoidable.

Kastelik’s life struggled in the flames for nearly thirty minutes before slowly ebbing away, leaving a pool of black, sticky liquid that stank terribly. Looking at the execution platform, now reduced to charcoal, Junker’s feelings were exceedingly complex.

Ye Yi watched the scene, but did not swim away, for the stone slab had obviously triggered some mechanism.

Unlike refugees who had to desperately search for food daily to stave off hunger, the people under the Dragon Nation’s rule could at least eat their fill.

The village chief looked at Melita, but she too was confused. Everything had been fine—what was wrong with the disaster spirit?

Xiao Yan smiled faintly. Back then, Li Xianfeng, relying solely on a shadow, could fiercely battle a law enforcer from the Nether Realm. His own strength was surely extraordinary.

He verbally agreed to do his best to persuade Xia Feng, but inwardly resolved not to let Kong Rong succeed.

Gao Yu realized he’d caused a major incident. Ignoring the pursuit of the royal guards, he hurriedly ordered his men to remove items from the carriage, staged a murder robbery, and led the special forces into the mountains to retreat.

From then on, he hid in the cave, refusing to come out, meditating and cultivating tirelessly every day. The spiritual energy in his dantian grew increasingly dense.

Of course, it’s far too early and reckless to declare that Crown Prince Huang has true talent on the piano.

The other flame mother insects immediately transformed into red-robed missionaries, retreating rapidly to the side. With the cover of numerous grave spirits, they relocated elsewhere.

To achieve the rank of Celestial Lord, one must possess extraordinary strength of mind and spirit. Otherwise, how could one overcome countless hardships? Losing an arm was indeed a nightmare, but with Minin’s resolve, his character would not be easily changed.

Those who lived in seclusion now all recognized Di Chongxiao and admired him deeply. Their fervent stares made Di Chongxiao uncomfortable, but fortunately, the main gate was not far from the Jade Heart’s Sculpted Pavilion.

The disciple’s fantasy was interrupted. He lowered his head in disappointment, glanced at Xiao Yan and Xiao Yue leaving, shook his head, and walked toward the training square with his companion.

Once again, he saw himself locked in a bloody battle with the starving wolves… Yet he forced the memory down. He took a bite of his meal, his expression utterly calm.

Longlin Fei’s mind was exceptionally clear. If Mengyao truly did such a thing, she ought to be responsible for her actions. It was only right that others were allowed to comment.

The third possibility is that these four rooms are simply a decoy, enticing us to explore. Before, when we entered, there were no ghosts, but now that the ghosts have all been put in place, even if we enter unharmed, our prospects are grim.
