Chapter 56: Growing Further Apart from Him

For a brief moment just now, Wen Changying had contemplated asking Imperial Physician Lin for an abortion pill. But this was the imperial palace; if she terminated the pregnancy, there was no way to hide it from Xie Genghe. Having a child would only ensure he would never let her leave the palace.

Wen Changying placed her hand on her abdomen, bitterness spreading across her lips and teeth. Before long, the medicine arrived. She hadn’t yet taken it when Xie Genghe’s voice sounded. “What did the physician say?” His eyes showed fatigue.

Tiandao witnessed the scene and was immediately puzzled. But when he looked up toward the opposite side, he was stunned—there, walking on air just like himself, was a face unmistakably familiar.

Lin Tian now stared at the towering monster before him, more terrifying than an octopus. Its spherical head bore countless tentacles. As these tentacles spread out, Lin Tian realized that the creature, once entangled and resembling a human body with a dog’s head, had been utterly reduced to nothing.

No matter how gifted Yang Ruosheng was, Yang Qiufeng knew his talent could never surpass Yang Qi, for Yang Qi was likely the chosen one—a truth evident from the extraordinary omens at his birth. Yet beyond all that, as an elder brother, Yang Qi should naturally give way to his younger sibling; such is the way of human affection.

He was now approximately a kilometer away from the two king-level battlegrounds, safely out of harm’s way, and was steadily retreating to rendezvous with Bing Lan and the others.

I considered the labyrinthine underground lair network. Regardless of the direction of the exit, the key was that I had likely found only one of several passages. Moreover, since the Black Hand was willing to reveal a secret path to me, they would assuredly cut off my retreat once I left.

The world is vast and full of wonders. China’s five thousand years of history have preserved many things from ancient times; otherwise, how could they have survived until now?

Because he led by example and kept his promises, never merely accusing others without cause, Qian Yun found no rebuttal and could only accept.

In the next instant, the golden blazing sun sword shattered, and the fierce, unrivaled sword aura around Luo Huasheng vanished.

Yang Qi returned to Chen Qingling’s courtyard, a place deeply etched in his memory and laden with profound significance.

Qin Cang examined his phone carefully, his expression serious and meticulous. After about a minute, he handed the phone to Tang Guo, giving her a meaningful glance, as if prompting her to explain how this photo conveyed the theme of “showing off wealth.”

Luo Luo was momentarily stunned, unsure of the cause of the commotion inside, and looked over to Xuan Ling with a puzzled expression. The other simply frowned slightly and strode down without a word.

When Cheng Yaojin saw Li You had not forgotten this matter and asked again, he feigned confusion, “Ah, old age makes the head dizzy and eyes blurry. Your Highness, let me take a closer look!” He squinted theatrically.

There was no movement from Ren Yi, but the Kunlun Sect disciples were furious. This was their territory, yet these people brazenly demanded tolls from Kunlun disciples. Not only was their pride wounded, but it also showed blatant disregard for Kunlun Sect.

Honestly, she had done nothing wrong and had no reason to fear. But Luo Xue felt it wasn’t fear—it was reverence, a profound respect for the emperor.

Ye Xi said, “Brother Jin, I need to make a trip to Yining City. Could you and Brother Zhou Yan come with me?” She asked out of habit.

The old woman worried He Mei would not recognize the guest and damage their reputation. Behind Yang Xu, she whispered directions. He Mei immediately understood, swaying gracefully like a willow as she floated to the stairway, reaching out her hand to help Yang Xu up.
