“Why not recite it for us?”
The Princess Royal lifted her teacup, blew gently on it, and smiled as she spoke.

In the blink of an eye, the demon power within Lang Hongxiang was drained away, leaving him overwhelmed by weakness. His body, still running, stumbled and rolled forward.
No matter how formidable his Iron Palm Water Walking technique was, he could not stand against the sea of ants before him, especially when they had aerial support.
Upon hearing the name Golden Dragon Beard Grass, everyone was taken aback, and Qin Shengnan’s eyes flashed with excitement, her delicate face unable to hide her elation.

Looking again at the enemy fleet, two ships were sinking slowly, three decks ablaze, and countless enemy soldiers screamed and wailed in agony.
“All right, you can go now.” Chief Medical Professor Yang Xue pressed down on Cheng Nuo’s head, confirmed there were no issues, and ordered him escorted out of the medical department.
