Volume One, Chapter 45: In His Heart, an Unwavering Hope for Yuan Yuan's Safety

No matter how the doctor examined her, he could not discern the cause of the illness. In the end, Zevi had no choice but to take the young lady to the hospital.

They could only go to the First Hospital because Zevi was the deputy officer to the head of the Harper family, his most trusted aide. This mission was secret, and if he rashly requested the emperor’s permission to admit her to the Royal Hospital for treatment, it would surely arouse suspicion.

Everyone in the manor was busy attending to Emily’s affairs. Only two soldiers guarded the secret chamber—one stationed outside and the other closely watching Meng Yu’s every move.

Little did they know, a small white snake hung inverted from a tree, biting the soldier’s neck.

The venom rapidly spread through his body, and the bitten soldier died instantly.

Meng Yu was...

The man was momentarily stunned, then stared wide-eyed at Liao Xi, asking, “How do you know I am Fan Changsheng?” Liao Xi shook her head and then released Fan Changsheng’s arm.

“Hahaha! Nie Tianxing, you’re finished!” The Spirit Wanderer Emperor laughed excitedly, and Nie Tianxing lost his power, which meant they could finally avenge past humiliations.

This was a common method she used during her hunts in the Upper Realm. Ideally, she would use a puppet to raise the flag, but since she had none, she had to settle for a real person.

The fated monk had just fought a battle and hadn’t even caught his breath when Lord Yuan suddenly struck, forcing him to dodge wildly.

“Who says you’re weak? If you were, then my judgment isn’t so great either,” Nangong Ping said.

Magical beasts differed from humans in many ways—perhaps due to racial traits or fewer distractions—they could usually gauge a human’s approximate age with an error margin of less than two years. Hearing this from Moonshadow, she finally looked seriously at her beautiful master.

Looking up, Yue Jiang was gazing down at her face, his masculine aura a blend of ocean and grassland scents, warm breath brushing her rosy cheeks.

“I’ve never been looked at like this by any other man,” Hun Xin said, blushing as she dressed.

“Ancestor, Nie Tianxing’s strength is terrifying. We are no match for him. While you deal with his clone, we must immediately enter the illusion realm to kill Nie Tianxing and his group!” Luo You, the Immortal Emperor, said with a bitter smile.

He shouted at the crystal orb floating in midair, then stomped fiercely, unleashing a powerful surge of true energy from his body.

Li Ya smiled, eyeing a few bird eggs. For sustenance, he didn’t hesitate and took them all at once.

Su Shang sneered. This guy was clearly looking for trouble, but now it seemed as if he had forgiven him.

No matter who they were, after witnessing Mo Xian’s terrifying power, they felt utterly powerless—no longer harboring any thought of defeating him.

She had been pampered by Wang Xiping and had hardly set foot outside all her life, her skin delicate and tender.

“It’s alright. There is plenty of rice porridge at home, and I brought back some supplements from the city. Also, your Ninth Aunt has started eating egg custard and other complementary foods. You two don’t have to worry,” Chen Guotai quickly reassured them.

Everyone was silent; even among close companions, their minds dwelled on their present predicament.

“Yes!” Xiao Beimou rose and ordered the soldiers to first deliver the supplies to the waterfall behind the cave.

Seeing Lin Zhong’s gentle treatment of the Dali Princess contrasted starkly with his cold and distant attitude toward her, the Third Princess felt her heart churn with a mix of emotions—sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty all at once—and she was deeply resentful.

Even if an 11th-tier high-level player paid all their “World Cores,” they would do so willingly.

If you can last one move against my master, Qin Wan silently added in her heart.

He understood the gravity of the matter and dared not speak lightly on behalf of the Crown Prince and Empress, lest he bring trouble upon himself.

After arranging the strategy, Lin Kai took to the air first, chasing after the army that had just left the village.

By the time Peter Saint completed the reassembly, he was already in an independent space, shackled by Ha Lou stone manacles and chains.

At this moment, the Rock Commander seemed the embodiment of the earth itself; every movement could trigger drastic upheavals in the land.

Cao Ang tilted his head, both their faces flushed as they placed another garment aside.

The real controllers behind America would help Meng Yi establish a stronger Umbrella Corporation the next day.

The Firefly could not connect to “Destiny” or “Imaginary Space”; Meng Yi could not access the “Super Latrine Subspace”; the corporeal persona of the Two-Polarity Ritual naturally could not connect to the “Root.”

Her thoughts were mostly with the increasingly youthful man before her and the children in the orphanage.

King Zhao Xie was made the acting king, but the territory of the fief was drastically reduced. Much of the former Zhao lands and cities were handed over to Prince Zhang Er of Changshan.

When Qiang’er entered, A Jiu was pouting for a chicken leg as usual. Mother Luo patiently advised, “Eating chicken legs so early isn’t good for your health.” A Jiu was a master of throwing tantrums. Seeing Luo Mama struggling, she brightened when Qiang’er brought the food in, like a savior arriving.

Dr. Xu spoke as he pressed the remote button, flipping to the next picture.

Without a word, he raised his hand and slapped down, instantly conjuring an invisible giant hand in the sky.

For both the U.S. and South Korea, whether they took first place or not hardly affected their social status. Their countries already highly recognized e-sports. Winning was a great honor for their players, but would not significantly change governmental support for e-sports.

At the end of the great battle, with Zuo Huairen’s army retreating, the soldiers on Guo Da’s city tower finally relaxed. The rebel offensive was fierce and unexpected; without the advantage of city defenses, they might have suffered continuous defeats.

Another was Tian Rong of Qi State, a real heartbreak. He had rushed to save him, only to be repaid with ingratitude. Tian Rong demanded conditions for rescue, wanting Chu State to kill Tian Jia, or else refuse to mobilize troops. To him, enemy hatred outweighed gratitude. Xiang Liang was furious.

Wu Chen couldn’t persuade Shangguan Ren but insisted: “I shall do as I see fit, firmly holding my ground, no matter which way the wind blows.”

Dong Nian sincerely applauded the four from Ren Tian on the field. He had sensed their strength upon first entering the illusion realm. The Ren Tian team had looked out for the four of them somewhat, which was why Dong Nian and the others waited here to congratulate the Ren Tian team.
