Chapter 54: Grassroots Female Emperor 4

And now, the most crucial matter was that his Qiao family, a prominent alchemy clan of the dignified Pingling Kingdom whom even the imperial family treated with utmost courtesy, had experienced one mishap after another during this recent period.

For instance, if you wished to summon the God of Wealth, but such a deity perhaps did not exist at all in that alternate realm, the incantation might fail, or it might summon some other unknown entity instead.

Lost in thought, she noticed a procession of palace attendants approaching from a distance, clearly heading directly toward her. Yu Weiyan paused in her steps, waiting for their arrival.

Alas, did the Feng family have any inkling of what sort of terrifying monster they had driven out from their own clan?

Dissatisfaction was etched upon the faces of the three coachmen, and one of them even muttered a complaint. Although the hired laborers remained silent, no one felt any discontent or grievance regarding the tasks Zhu Da had assigned before they reached the city wall; instead, they immediately set about executing them.

Rasadice nodded, forgoing any change of attire. He grasped both of their hands directly and vanished amidst a flash of brilliant white light.

Xing Lian narrowed her eyes as she gazed at the magical beast in the corner, its feathers fluffed all over, and took a step toward it.

The person to whom one could entrust his own wife must undoubtedly be on extremely close terms with him. Though Yu Weiyan did not know Qiushui particularly well, she at least knew that he was not someone who enjoyed mingling with others. The relationship between Xuanyuan Han and him was clearly profound; could there be an even deeper connection between the two of them?

"Then let us begin. It is my turn this time," Xiao Zhen said, his turn having come around once more.

Yet, speaking of transgression, the figure in the black robe ought to have slapped his own face first, for this person was already trespassing against that peerless and ferocious entity.

Equipped with this double talisman, I believe you will think twice before attempting to make me a scapegoat, and moreover, should you truly ascend to the mayoral office one day, perhaps I ought to be appointed as deputy mayor as well. Pondering this, Wang Younian happily started his car and drove in the direction of his home.

Journalists across the globe were eager to track down Lu Dafai to hear his personal explanation, yet he was nowhere to be found—though this was something that would transpire later, and is merely mentioned in passing for now.

At that time, the relationship between her father and mother was already far from harmonious. A faint sorrow constantly lingered on her mother's face; her father tried every possible means to please her, yet her mother consistently ignored him.

However, the auction house's rules had never stipulated a minimum increment required of guests; meaning that even a willingness to outbid by a single tael would constitute a victory.

Subsequently, Xiuzhen recounted to Caiyun in detail the process of how she had met Jesse, concluding with a trembling statement: "I... let him kiss me."

As the Sheng family's grand estate was situated in the suburbs, by the time the fire engine arrived, nearly forty minutes had already elapsed. The stone cottage was still smoking, though not as intensely as before.

Aside from one exposed sentry whose field of vision remained unconfirmed, the remaining five assault rifles emptied their thirty-round magazines within thirty seconds. Yet, the effect was conspicuously nil; that damned thing was still writhing incessantly, seemingly beginning to transform into something else.

Zhang Xiang felt a sense of frustration. In China, the number of people who did not recognize him was pitifully small. Perhaps she was simply one of them. "Football," he murmured softly in a tone full of magnetic charm.

Because of his great height, his younger brother always had to duck his head slightly to clear the frame of her front door, only straightening his posture once he was safely inside.

Having been hunted down countless times, Yan Qianqian flew into a rage and stole their critically important demonic pellet.

Nagindiya leapt down from the stone platform, walked over to He Chang, and patted his shoulder. "I shall say this much regarding the knowledge of spatial dimensions, and I will not repeat it a second time. Retain as much of it as you can. I am now going to teach you the Seven-Star Dipper-Shifting Step."

Li Chang'an squatted on a woven mat, cupping a mug of hot water in his hands, and unhurriedly poured out the entire sequence of events from beginning to end, along with his own conjectures.

What was pasted upon the child's forehead was merely a calming talisman; the reason it was able to immobilize the child was simply because it aided his own spirit in battling the resentment within him.

Abruptly, a gigantic palm print wreathed in the dual energies of Yin and Yang manifested above Li Feiyu's head, swiftly descending upon him with a mighty, earth-shaking combat prowess.

Dragging the shovel across the ground, it produced a hair-raising scratching sound. Raising her head to meet Anhua's blood-red eyes, Liu Siyi hurriedly shut her eyes and buried her body deep into my embrace.

Facing the gentle breeze and admiring the picturesque scenery, it appeared to be such a harmonious and amiable scene. Yet both Murong Jue and the shadowy Overlord had already readied themselves to strike at a moment's notice.

"Nonsense!" another person bellowed, lunging forward to snatch at the silk scarf. "This clearly belongs to me, and none of you are permitted to fight me for it, or else I shall annihilate whoever dares!" that person roared angrily.

The reason I did not chant other incantations to unleash magical arts against the intruder was twofold: first, I feared making a mistake—what if the person in the bed truly was Liu Qing Xuan at that moment, wouldn't that create a ridiculous farce? Second, I felt that since I was currently being subjected to improper advances, invoking divine might would constitute a sign of disrespect toward the deities.

Fang He's presence had caught her attention the moment he arrived; subsequently, the wager between Fang He and Qian Kai and the others drew her focus even further, prompting her to emerge directly.

Leaving aside the fact that he had successfully assumed the avatar of "Yueshe" to draw close to Princess Yuanyuan in the Great Jin Dynasty, Lin Huang in his true form, after cleaving out one hundred and eight essence-blood avatars, had not remained within the Nether Empyrean Clarity Divine Mountain, but instead proceeded straight to the celestial realm with Shi Tou.

However, no matter which spell Jiayi tried in succession, or even after dissecting Wu Zijian's chest, he remained utterly clueless as to how to extract this primordial spiritual embryo.

His appearance was utterly wretched; his intact head was reduced to mere remnants, and after a single punch, he lacked even the strength to stand.

Liang Shan found this speech so nauseating he wanted to vomit himself, yet in order to dispel Leng Qianqian's misgivings, he forced himself to deliver it in a sincere tone. However, when he finished speaking, he did not observe any reaction from Leng Qianqian. Looking closer, he could not help but silently curse to himself, realizing he had seemingly overacted.
