Chapter 68: You Are Not Her, Are You?

She allowed herself to be held, finding a comfortable position in his arms, and began to check the system panel.

During this period, Yun Fu had been receiving purification value entries every day. Now, the number of people queuing at the medical center for her soothing touch had increased again, steadily yielding over a hundred purification values each day.

Adding to her previous total, she calculated that in just a few days, she would be able to upgrade the All-Beast Charm aura once more.

Once the All-Beast Charm aura reached level three, its range of effect on beasts would be even greater, and Yun Fu's heart would become increasingly...

Although Qingshuang tossed and turned restlessly that night, it was not because of the Emperor. Since ancient times, the boundless affection of a sovereign was a decree of heaven. Even though Qingshuang had already secretly convinced herself in her heart that the Emperor was her destined lifelong companion, he was nonetheless the supreme ruler above ten thousand. Amidst the throngs of beauties surrounding him and his wandering affections, how could he possibly bestow his exclusive devotion upon a single bloom?

When Chen Kang spoke to Chen Lixin about the reasons for leaving Zhuangle County and mentioned that Yan Le had bought out the medicine factory, Chen Lixin immediately gnashed his teeth in hatred, telling his uncle that Yan Le had driven his father to prison and usurped the Kangakang Pharmacy, making him his mortal enemy.

Upon hearing someone outbid him and realizing it was Yan Le, Ning Zunhu grew somewhat angry and immediately signaled Big Tiger to raise the paddle, driving the price up to eight thousand eight hundred yuan.

Because of Mo Ruzhi moving into the Cuicui Palace, the Emperor frequented it often. Calculating the favors, she bathed in the imperial grace far more than the residents of other palaces. Conversely, the Fengzao Palace appeared considerably desolate. Though the Empress harbored lingering resentment, her youth was gradually fading, leaving her powerless to retain the imperial heart.

The palace maids responded softly and withdrew quietly. The Empress also cast a sideways glance at Leng Zhi, who understood the cue, curtsied slightly, and turned to leave. Only the Empress Dowager and the Empress remained inside the bedchamber.

Just as he was about to clench his fist in celebration, Zhan Zhetiansuddenly stopped moving and, with lightning speed, returned to his original position—where he hadn't moved much from to begin with—and blocked Cristiano Ronaldo's shot with his chest.

Only then did Yan Le understand, thinking to himself that this Fu family did not seem like an easy group to deal with either. I wonder what kind of person this future cousin-in-law of mine might be?

"Yo!" Killer Bee replied instantly. In reality, however, this pair of sworn brothers used this simple syllable to transmit a secret code—a code to unleash their ultimate lethal technique.

A story about love and hate, life and death, the realm and the human heart; quiet on the surface yet fierce to the bone. It is a long journey suited for rolling slowly between one's teeth, savoring its ambiguity and profound depth, much like this quiet and secluded cold night, the palace lanterns not yet extinguished, the wind stirring the jade-beaded curtains with golden hooks to ring melodiously, while wisps of aloeswood smoke curled upward from the purple-gold lily tripod.

It was truly explosive news. Zhao Xiaochen suddenly understood why White Wolf had just said he didn't have many trustworthy people left around him; was he perhaps implying the same about Bright and Gianna?

Hong Zhilian was hinting to Yun Qiuqin that at a time like this, it would be best for her to watch her tongue and avoid talking nonsense.

Since she now knew that his visit to Lin Baoshu was merely to discuss medical techniques, she felt much relieved. If it was just a discussion of medical skills, there shouldn't be any major issues.

The Empress's words made him feel as though she were putting on an act. Upon deeper reflection, he really had seen Mantingfang attempt to assassinate the Emperor in the imperial court, and it was only thanks to his own quick wits that he had intercepted the attack—meaning this matter might actually be true. For the Empress to lose her composure and come to him now, there had to be a reason.

The Li family was the natal family of the late Old Madam, the natal family of the current Madam Li, and the mainstay of Imperial Noble Consort Li, as well as legitimate relatives by marriage to the Lin family. Mother Feng had always been meticulous; how could she have omitted the Li family from the gift list?

Before setting out, Lady Lan and Mother Qiao had already packed a carriage full of items for them, ranging from clothing and food to decorative objects, everything imaginable. This was even after Qiao Mingjin had repeatedly streamlined the contents down to just one carriage; otherwise, there would have been even more.

To be honest, the majority of the cultivators present had never even heard of the place called Nannong Island. Even those from Penglai had no idea what kind of allure Nannong Island possessed that caused the entire Wuji Palace to vanish from the world for many years, only to resurface at the Yunlan Sect and make such a massive fuss.
