Chapter 52: Innate Skill

"My Lord, you have nothing to worry about. This overcoat has undergone special treatment utilizing the most advanced micro-technology. Wearing it in the scorching heat of summer, not only will you not feel hot, but you will even feel quite refreshed!" the store manager said with a smile.

While Chen Jiu went out to fetch something, I approached the Emperor's couch, placed my hand on his wrist, and first tested his pulse. The Emperor's pulse was very weak, barely perceptible. It seemed he was deeply poisoned, but now I was riding a tiger and could not dismount; whether he lived or died, I had to try.

"Wei'er, how can you slander me like this? You were only three years old back then, what could you possibly know?" Hearing Ling Yufei's words, Shen Birou once again put on a calm facade and asked in an overbearing manner.

Tonghua Qianji let out a sigh and looked over at the nearby students walking together in groups, chatting and laughing cheerfully. A trace of melancholy flashed through her eyes.

Out of the sincere desire to solve troubles and relieve worries for Empress Wu, Wan'er took the initiative to step forward and make some arrangements here at Taiping's residence. "This must be a matter of utmost importance concerning the Princess's lifelong happiness!" Wan'er did not beat around the bush, speaking her mind directly.

After finishing her words to Narcissus, Xiao Lingxiao successively called Mother Li and the four second-rank maidservants into the inner chamber one by one to "lecture" them. When these people walked out of the inner chamber, every single one of them wore a joyful expression and was exultant with delight.

"You want to leave? It's not that easy. Surely you don't want to see Yunxi anymore?" Leng Wuchen sneered as he spoke. He knew that Ling Yuwei would never leave without seeing Yunxi.

Ming Jingye turned his head, and sure enough, Yuan Ji was standing by the lake, idly manipulating a palm-sized ice crystal in his hand.

"What do you want?" Shi Xilan retreated in panic, pressing her back against a tree, her entire face turning pale and greenish.

Fortunately, the bus arrived at that moment, finally averting a relapse into an awkward atmosphere between the two of them.

In other words, at this moment, the Light Rakshasa was no different from a normal person; even a low-level cultivator could easily deal with her.

"Humph! Cui Bin, did you really think I would come here without any preparation?" At that moment, Li Hengyi's voice resounded through the mist.

Aurora Games officially issued an announcement stating that starting from today, they would sue Selfish Paradise for defamation while simultaneously condemning such behavior by Selfish Paradise.

From time to time, curious and surprised glances were cast from disciples guarding other parts of the formation, yet Yun Xinyao maintained a calm expression throughout, turning a blind eye to them.

It remained unknown whether Guan Jiuji would give up, but Yu Wutian, pressing onward toward the Ice and Fire Heart Prison Island, had no spare attention to ponder what others were thinking.

Wang Bafang clearly saw that I had gained the upper hand in the confrontation with my opponent, so he simply stood by as a cold onlooker to our dialogue.

This was a sudden whim of Ye Le after learning how advanced holographic projection technology was in this world. After confirming that such an effect could indeed be achieved, he gritted his teeth and spent several hundred million RMB to finally succeed.

Upon her exit, Liu Hui was initially somewhat disheartened, spending over half a year in idle relaxation and recuperation. After the Lunar New Year, her mindset gradually adjusted, and Gu Cheng sincerely pulled her back to work at Chengpin Film and Television, allowing her to re-familiarize herself with the duties previously split between Gao Dasong and Lin Zhiling.

After washing up and having breakfast at the hotel, Gu Cheng had his bodyguards drive him to the company. The moment he stepped inside, he headed straight to Li Ying's CEO office, walking right in without even knocking.

"Yue'er, who would have thought that Yue'er's ancient divine beast cultivation would also be quite impressive?" Long Qianjue praised. Yue'er was a powerful being possessing all three attributes simultaneously—a constitution that defied the heavens. Yet he himself was merely a beast tamer and a force tamer, making him somewhat envious of Yue'er. Alchemists were, after all, deeply respected.

Downstairs, Lu Liye leisurely pulled out a cigarette, held it between his lips, sat down on Yun Jing's suitcase, lit the cigarette, and waited quietly and leisurely.

Over these past few days, Bao Hongde, led by Uncle Zhao, had established his own network of connections in the imperial court. Countless court officials were eager to curry favor with Bao Hongde, frequently presenting him with generous gifts. Even Guo Shifu, who wielded power over the entire court, visited his home with gifts. This experience allowed Bao Hongde to taste the sweet fruits in the ocean of power for the very first time.

The stalwart man was seen wearing a black mask engraved with a black phoenix. His entire body radiated intense black Qi, and a faint black phoenix hovered menacingly behind him.

Just as he reached the main gates of the Ye family and was about to step outside, a fierce glint suddenly flashed in the eyes of the guards on both sides.

"What terrifying sonic power! This strength has already surpassed the peak of the Desolate Ancient Realm..." Ye Xiangchen spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs.

The land on the other side of the mountains was barren and lacking in food, traditionally surviving through generations of raids and plundering. If the mountain barrier were to disappear, presenting an opportunity to invade this fertile land, war would break out at any moment.

Perhaps because her relationship with Ye Fan had made a little progress, Ye Lingling appeared somewhat reserved at the dining table, but under the warm hospitality of Ye's mother, this reservation gradually melted away, and she grew increasingly familiar with Ye's mother.

In the dead of night when dreams returned, she would always reminisce about the scenes of them walking hand-in-hand through the park.

The others chorused their agreement. They appeared to be leading the way for the imperial concubine, but in truth, they were still afraid she might escape. When they reached the kitchen, they surrounded it three layers deep. Thanks to Sanxiang's composure, she calmly fried an egg, prepared a dish of greens, simmered half a pot of porridge, and sat quietly by the stove to eat her meal.

After Elder Wang inspected the remaining materials, Guan Yang produced a piece of paper and began explaining it to Elder Wang, pointing out the functions and placement of the items listed. Since Elder Wang was a seasoned craftsman, he grasped most of the items at a single glance.

"What if I refuse?" Li Min'er looked at Feng Zijun with a proud and spoiled posture, a playful smile playing on her lips.

Lin Danqing was worried that Zhou Qingke might hurt Sanqing, which was why she had held Sanqing back—it was as simple as that. Seeing that Lin Danqing gave no response, Sanqing asked no further and stopped in her tracks to watch the developments unfold.

Therefore, once Zhou Dongfen exposed their identities, the blonde man and the other seven were all filled with fury.

The fifth spider egg also burst open, releasing even more white-legged house spider larvae than the first four eggs.

Zhou Dongfen walked out of the private room and immediately dialed the numbers of several major gang bosses like Zhang Dainan and Li Guitao, asking whether there was any thug whose neck had been grazed by a shotgun bullet at the back, and whose left arm might be tattooed with a cyan eagle.
