His expression was as though he had swallowed a fly.
Fu Tingxiao sneered, "Do you have any right to inquire about my affairs?"
Fu Hanzhou's face darkened, and he was left speechless.
I couldn't help but stifle a laugh.
Fu Hanzhou excelled in many things, but in front of Fu Tingxiao, he was outmatched in every way, leaving him both insecure and arrogant.
Fu Tingxiao bypassed him, his expression softening as he looked toward the matriarch.
"Grandmother, I heard your sudden accident the other day was quite suspicious. Who was with you when it happened?"
Regarding Ran Zhi's political allies, the Anbei military’s Po Lu division, and Ran Yu, Ran Ming adopted a political offensive. In Ran Ming's own words, this was not a military battle, but a political one.
Dilraba looked at the giant shaved ice, satisfied that the portion was much larger than the previous one, and nodded in approval.
Time ticked away second by second. Footsteps paced slowly back and forth by the pool, like a demon searching for its hiding prey.
Chi Yue understood this, but her feet felt rooted to the ground. Without news of Wang Xueya, she simply could not focus on the wedding.

The place where he and Wu You lived was not the Cao estate, but the residence where Cao Qing and the others resided. Ever since they were offered as concubines to Dong Hang by their father, they had truly been left to guard an empty house.
If he possessed the complete blood-awakening ritual, he would become a true Spirit Shaman, and his strength would increase more than tenfold.
It could be said that none of Ran Ming’s wives and concubines were fools. Liu Gang saw that Wang Meng must have had important matters to discuss with Ran Ming, so she found an excuse to leave. Wang Zhilei and Bai Feng went to the military camp after breakfast; as the lead general and deputy general, although they did not need to sleep at the camp, they still had to report for duty.
Chi Yue’s cool gaze swept from her stunned face to Wei Ge. He appeared indifferent, his handsome face bathed in moonlight like a layer of starlight. His temperament was cold and aloof, as if separated from others by thousands of mountains and rivers, yet upon seeing her eyes, he immediately changed his expression.
He heard Qili say that the Han people had widened the roads leading to the border fortresses and maintained them regularly.
"I’m going too!" Wu You sat up immediately, but the sudden movement caused her to feel a sting of pain.
The laughter stopped abruptly, as if stuck in his throat. That stifled sensation nearly made Jessie choke to death.
Therefore, Xu Tianming's words served as a direction, and she pondered them, lost in thought.
She was so fragile that any wandering ghost could consume her entirely. If it weren't for the protection of this body, she would have been gone long ago.
Last time in Fengyun City, Xia Tianze had been captured by Zhao Rong into the Falling Sorrow Bell; he was no stranger to this aura.
The crowd was also stunned, staring intently at the black-feathered chicken. Looking at the bird’s eyes, it actually carried a trace of domineering arrogance that seemed to look down upon the world.

The fat man kept his eyes fixed on the end of the bamboo corridor in the courtyard; Xia Tianze would surely appear there first upon his return.
Hearing the sound, everyone on the martial arts field opened their eyes, realizing that the "Questioning the Venerable Image" had ended. Some faces showed joy and satisfaction, but more revealed regret.
If a full day passed and Ye Wuchen had not yet emerged from the intermediate enlightenment illusion, it would mean failure, and he would be eliminated.
After the yellow sand filled the sky to its limit, it suddenly quieted down, and even the dark clouds in the sky dissipated completely.
Mo Shuangjun regained his senses and found Yuan Chun smiling as he watched him drift off, his face flushing with embarrassment.
"Of course, it’s because she has nothing to fear. Because she knows Luo Mian won't deliver a fatal blow or actually kill her, Ye Sisi dares to be so unscrupulous," Shangguan Qingtian said. Of course, all of this was something Luo Mian had brought upon herself.
Jiang Youning did not know why her brother had suddenly mentioned strong winds and heavy rain, but she followed his instructions subconsciously.
Qi Cun’s prediction was correct; the news of the Duke of Zhenguo’s resurrection caused an uproar in the capital. However, within the imperial palace, apart from astonishment, there was no other reaction, and they even issued a decree summoning him to the palace.
