Volume 1, Chapter 57: Fang Shenzhai and Duan Xiaoqiu's Engagement

To Fang Shanzhai's surprise, he actually encountered Duan Xiadong.

"Want to know why Li Shuhe was arrested?" After a few years apart, Duan Xiadong looked much older.

Fang Shanzhai looked at him coldly. "Was it your doing?"

"Hahahahaha..."

Duan Xiadong burst into laughter.

Heaven rewards those who do not give up.

He had been searching for Li Shuhe for a long time, only for James to accidentally stumble upon him.

Ever since they caught sight of the sachet, the two guardians had worn looks of astonishment. Now, upon hearing the mention of the "new sovereign," their expressions instantly turned anxious, and in unison, they asked, "What happened to the sovereign?" In their minds, this sachet was far more important than the sovereign's very life; it was utterly impossible for it to appear in someone else's possession for no reason, hence their deep anxiety.

Gu Hanxue had just stepped out of the bridal chamber with the Xia sisters when she heard a shattering sound. Although it was not very loud, it could still be heard clearly.

Today, Lin Qinya visited once again, carrying a wooden box in her hand from which a faint, lingering fragrance drifted out.

"The effect is just average. We were trying to execute strategies, but the opponents were only thinking about climbing the ranks. Besides, the skill levels of their pre-made team were uneven, meaning there would always be one or two weak links. With a bit of targeted pressure, their entire formation would crumble," Zhang Yuchen replied.

The match did not start until noon, so Zhang Yuchen was not in a hurry. He leisurely went out to eat some tofu pudding, strolled around, and bought a few nice-looking outfits.

At the height of her agitation, Mother Xu almost failed to catch her breath and shot her a fierce glare, the look in her eyes practically screaming the word "shame."

"My dear Bruce, everything you wanted is right in the box. You can inspect the goods first." Luo Han nodded toward Wuji, placed the suitcase he was holding at Wuji's feet, and jumped onto the delivery truck.

Holding the tally with imperial authority was ranked highest, holding the tally for ordinary matters came second, and a temporary tally was lowest. Those holding the tally with imperial authority were authorized to execute officials of the two-thousand-stone rank and below; those holding the tally for ordinary matters could execute people without official rank, or in times of military emergency, share the same authority as those holding the full imperial tally; those with a temporary tally were only permitted to execute those who violated military orders in times of war. The jurisdiction of these three types of tallies began to be clearly defined, a system maintained by both the Eastern Jin and the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

"Tang Duoduo, what are you doing? Since when do you dare to lay a hand on my people?" The man's face darkened, startling Tang Duoduo so much that her hands trembled.

Before Qing He could answer, Baili Xuanji preempted her, saying, "How could this be a delay? If not for Master's pity, I might have been treated as an anomaly once again."

The flagship main cannon fired relentlessly. This composite light-and-fire-attribute main cannon possessed an exceptionally powerful purification effect against such malevolent spirit aggregates. With a single blast, one could practically hear countless evil spirits wailing. The Aethel fleet surrounded this evil spirit and engaged in endless wheel-battle bombardments, taking a full three days to completely obliterate and destroy it.

However, after marching about two paces—presumably noticing that their formation was a bit loose—they halted to regroup and reorganize.

"This is terrible, I want to turn back into my original human form!" Tiga felt as though he had been played to pieces by Lin Xuan.

The Queen Mother of the West, dressed in a magnificent palace gown, gazed into the distance beyond Mount Kunlun. She saw a vast expanse of azure sky, broken only by a few spiritual birds flashing past, leaving behind graceful silhouettes.

"Again?" The son comes right after the old man finishes. Du Ziyuan felt that this family certainly knew how to put people to work.

Returning home, he spent a few days with his parents before being whisked away by sponsors and two agents for non-stop flights. During the off-season, Kaiser's schedule was even tighter and busier than during the regular season.

Having squandered over a hundred thousand gold coins to fill his storage space to the brim—and conveniently eating a bit of spatial equipment along the way—his storage capacity now stood at a full 156 cubic meters.

The Grade Nine Green Lotus lowered rays of divine light, and as the innate five-element five-colored divine light surged brilliantly, it plunged straight into the void.

"Didn't you just finish eating?" The moment Du Ziyuan heard her use the word "catch," he knew she thought some wild game had arrived to serve as an extra meal.

In 2014, Argentina made it to the World Cup final, but Higuain and Messi both choked at the crucial moment—what could you do about that? If shouting "goal!" could actually make the ball go in, they certainly would have shouted their lungs out.
