Chapter 56: The Grassroots Empress, Part 6

The boy showed not a trace of fear on his face as he looked directly at Huaiying.

"I had no intention of exposing you; I simply wanted to help you."

Huaiying's grip tightened progressively, a chilling glint flashing across the depths of her eyes.

The boy's face turned bruised and cyan from the choking, and he found it increasingly difficult to breathe.

Yet his gaze remained entirely devoid of fear.

Huaiying suddenly found the matter rather dull and slowly loosened her hand.

Yuzhu's frantic cries echoed ceaselessly in her ear: "Host, you must stay calm, absolutely calm."

If one's luck was favorable, a single moment of enlightenment could lead to ascending to the heavens in broad daylight; if one's luck was poor, naturally, not even a single bone would remain.

Mo Jiangnan chuckled, thinking to himself that although you put on a thoughtful appearance all day long, you are, after all, still just a demon.

Moreover, Yang Hua seemed to have made preparations long in advance and had not placed any restrictions on the storage pouch. With a slight flick of his divine sense, Zhan Feng instantly penetrated deep into the pouch.

Even at this stage of the battle, these mages did not relax their surveillance of him—or rather, their surveillance of the Holy See. This indicated that the internal structure of the Mages' Guild remained orderly and the overall situation was still under control, which meant this was not yet the optimal moment he had been waiting for.

Grevus had not yet given explicit instructions regarding the training for the next month. Having concluded the first phase of training, Grevus had also granted the members of the Kaigu team a two-day break to adjust themselves.

This person had skin as white as snow, red lips and white teeth, and a sharply pointed chin. What left a deep impression was a pair of clear eyes tinged with a hint of allure—peach-blossom eyes with exceptionally heavy double eyelids.

Chu Ming returned directly to that blacksmith's shop. Having experienced this first obstacle, he found himself somewhat missing Old Stone and the Senior Martial Brother.

In truth, she had also been quite worried about Bai Xue and Ma Yi returning so late. She worried that they might run into accidents or danger—she had witnessed with her own eyes the savagery of the old Daoist Li. At the same time, she also feared that Bai Xue would suddenly vanish just as Milili had done with Ma Yi.

Therefore, blindly pursuing power without cultivating one's mental state and primordial spirit would firstly make that power easily exploited by others, and secondly, upon reaching the extreme, it would cause one's body to rupture.

Yet, she never imagined that the Second Prince had somehow gotten wind of these matters and used his methods to dismiss all these wet nurses, making a private appointment for her to meet him alone at the Yuanyuan Pavilion restaurant. He even remarked that since they had not met during the Shangsi Festival, he wanted to make up for it today.

The surgery was a complete success, exactly as Jianning had anticipated. For reasons unknown, ever since she learned that the specialist physician had been arranged by Peng Cheng, Jianning's anxiety had dissipated considerably—her demeanor before Fu Tianze was merely a facade.

At this sight, Xue Lan understood instantly: Liu Donghua was having another episode. Liu Donghua's eyes were fixed rigidly on the wall, unblinking, and Xue Lan waved his hand right in front of him without eliciting any reaction.

With a muffled hum, a beam of holy light shot forth from the vertical eye, resembling a precious mirror capable of inspecting all things in the universe. It parted a corner of the dense fog, revealing a courtyard with an open gate.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh aloud, never expecting that the naming of such a realm would have such a legendary story behind it.

With that, Li Rui gave a single command, and his five sons immediately formed an attack formation.

Naturally, team fights could not be initiated casually; rather, it was necessary to find the optimal timing.

This caused Zhang Tianyang to feel an even greater sense of awe toward the unfathomable nature of the Pope. Being able to conceal the Fire of Extreme Cold in such an unnoticeable place truly required a certain level of wisdom. As for the constellation chart of Aries, it was an even greater test of a person's wit and strength.

If I hadn't heard that Chen Feng was going to play, I certainly wouldn't have come here to watch a ball game in the middle of a bunch of wolves. Didn't you see that guy right next to me staring fiercely at my chest?

It has become quite difficult for Jayce to appear in the top lane nowadays because he is not a champion capable of tanking damage. Therefore, when Ling picked him, Brother Nian subconsciously assumed that I was the one who intended to play him.

Generally speaking, fully unrevealed jadeite raw stones are relatively low in price, and if they do yield green, the returns can be massive. However, those potential returns are directly proportional to the risks. Above all else, the potential appreciation rate of fully unrevealed stones falls far short of half-unrevealed stones that display favorable external features.
