Volume 1, Chapter 65: The Princess is Beautiful, Wise, and Kind

"The Princess must proceed with the utmost caution."

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wei requests an audience and is waiting outside the Xuanshi Hall." Eunuch Liao had no wish to disturb the two of them, but affairs of the imperial court could not be delayed.

Generally speaking, whether it was the nine-headed golden crow or the nine-tailed celestial fox, even though they possessed multiple heads or tails, they would not normally display them. However, the reason Jinyu and Jinxuan had assumed their true forms at this moment was to withstand the scorching heat brought forth by the Nine-Sun Fire.

Out in the darkness, ten dark figures materialized outside the outskirts of the Qin Family Village. These men were uniformly dressed in tight black martial attire, their faces covered with black cloth leaving only their eyes exposed. Each carried a long saber strapped to his back, a semi-automatic rifle and hand grenades tucked into his waist, and a handgun grasped in his hand. They were truly fully armed.

"It... it was this concubine's lack of foresight. However, the incident occurred so suddenly that this concubine had no time to report to Her Ladyship, and thus acted on her own discretion. I pray Her Ladyship will not hold this against me..." Qi Wanliang was already kneeling, her voice trembling with panic and fear.

Chen Langya wore a grave expression. The feeling Mu Lanserui gave him was one of utter invincibility; the only person he could think of who could compare to her was the Vampire King.

She reached out and touched the raised, worm-like scar, her heart stirring slightly as a vague sense of unease washed over her.

A wave of deep emotion welled up inside Qin Feng. He truly had not expected that his former superiors and subordinates would still care about him so much. This time, it could be said that they had sent forth all their elite forces to assist him with all their might in facing this crisis.

Yet the weapons in their hands gleamed with a cold light as they watched our arrival with predatory vigilance, clearly having prepared for this long in advance.

Beneath the setting sun, countless birds spread their wings and flew, hurrying back to their nests. The Persian soldiers atop the city walls watched the actions of the Han army with utter bewilderment—why were the captured birds being released again?

Leading his troops, Jiang Wei cut a swathe of unstoppable destruction all the way to the North City Gate. The defenders, caught in a pincer attack from both sides, lost control to Jiang Wei, who successfully seized the gate and opened it. The Han cavalry waiting outside the northern gate roared as they charged into the city.

Jiang Yan had not harbored any high hopes for this Dark Gold-tier boss, but he had not expected it to be so generous as to drop ten pet eggs all at once, which could certainly be considered quite lavish.

One had to know that over the past century and more, Lin Feng had mined massive quantities of shattered starlight ore, and he was fully capable of achieving this goal.

Returning to the chaotic and devastated room, the man tied up like a zongzi was leaning against the head of the bed, still unconscious and fast asleep.

"You're the boss." He Yu's eyes were glued to the menu, wishing fervently that the dishes were listed in descending order of price so he could simply order the most expensive one, regardless of what it actually was.

It was just a pity that this "Guan Yunchang" known as Horse Face only had eyes for money and understood nothing of chivalry or brotherhood in the pugilistic world.

Xia Yu kept gritting his teeth and persisting; even he himself had not expected that he would be able to hold out for this long.

Soldiers trained here could no longer be called soldiers; calling them "killing machines" would be far more fitting.

The Ice Dire Wolf King lived up to expectations as well, its massive body shifting left and right as dual auras of ice and fire gathered within its jaws. Yet every single time, the gathering energy dissipated halfway through, coming to nothing.

Still, most younger brothers were probably like this—wanting their elder sisters to be happy, yet unwilling to see them marry another and become part of someone else's family, feeling as though doing so would mean losing their sister entirely.

Little did he know, Chen Mo was utterly dumbfounded. Good grief, "fields of blooming peach blossoms, elderly and children alike living in carefree contentment"?
