Chapter 040: The Legend of Zhen Huan, An Lingrong

"With your status, My Lady, it would be effortless to deal with her."

Jianqiu smiled, "The Empress Dowager hopes you will raise the twins. As long as you have the inclination, Concubine Xin will have no choice but to obey you."

"I have no interest in raising another woman's child."

Disgust flickered in the Empress's eyes. "The only legitimate heir shall be my Honghui. No one, no matter who they are, will ever take away that title. As for the twins? I have no use for them."

After Wang Xi left, Sun Wukong slowly opened his eyes. He felt that the man had arrived abruptly and departed just as decisively, like a gust of wind that left no trace in its wake.

These individuals were all incredibly ferocious, and one could tell at a glance that they had come with ill intentions. Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye could see that these fellows were undoubtedly from the Japanese islands.

He also knew that during the final days of filming, Ning Yu had faced difficulties in securing additional investment. To maintain the film's quality, she had not increased the cast's compensation.

Suddenly, a heavy, murderous aura filled the air, weighing down the atmosphere for a hundred meters around. The moment he drew his blade, Gao Fei unleashed his Blade Domain, going all out to kill Lin Tian from the very first encounter, wishing nothing more than to tear him limb from limb.

That is because it relies entirely on absorbing scorching spiritual energy to suppress the extreme cold within its blood; only after the blood liquefies and circulates through its body can it survive.

Lin Ying was quite straightforward as he explained the situation to his brothers, but then Li Qianzhong spoke up.

Miss Qingqin was poised and carried herself with the grace of a noblewoman. She held Yu Feng's hand, gazing up at his face with infatuation, as if she wished to etch his image into her very heart.

She Tunhai, with his keen senses, twitched his nose and immediately realized that Zhao Shuangying had changed into new clothes. He was the first to turn around, his eyes flashing with a vicious glint as he prepared to pursue her.

Although Mai Jiude usually carried two short blades and used a dual-wielding style in combat, she was not equally proficient in manipulating weapons with both hands.

"What is it this time? Don't try to fool me again!" Every time he claimed to have something good, it turned out to be just a single technique he had split into multiple lessons, all to trick Wang Xi into cooking delicious food for him.

Following an order of difficulty from easiest to hardest, Guo Dashu first slew the flood dragon, then focused his energy on dealing with the two true dragons.

"Did you steal it?" The middle-aged man walked over, speaking coldly to Lin Xiu and Luo Yue.

Nathan remotely operated the landing platform, sealing the hexagonal rotating hatch. Once the Storm Petrel entered the platform, it automatically docked at the nearest rack. A mechanical arm extended, detached the cockpit from the front of the starship hull, moved it aside, and docked it with an exchange chamber.

"Ugh..." In a hazy stupor, Xue Ning struggled to open his heavy eyes, only to find Lucy staring at him with her beautiful, sea-blue eyes.

"Hmph, that Diamond Movement Technique was prepared by my clan for me to use after reaching the sixth rank; naturally, it is powerful," Ouyang Hang sneered.

"Great Immortal, please withdraw your divine powers! Please withdraw them!" An old man with a white beard below was wailing loudly.

Seeing the arrival of the Hundred-Demon Monarch, Cui Yuling became extremely nervous and pulled the two of them toward the Seventh Gate once more.

Li Zehua's healing chest was blasted open again, but his opponent was also knocked back into the spatial fluctuations. Before the other could react, Li Zehua had already annihilated that pocket of space.

Hearing the three of them cry out, the others hurried up the sand dune. They saw that the dead included both the old and the young; some had shattered skulls, while others had sunken chests, as if every one of them had been struck by a heavy club or staff.

When their cultivation eventually hits a bottleneck, they will realize how powerful Li Yuan's allure truly is! Only then will they understand how naive they were at this moment.

Zhaoyang heard this from outside and felt a touch of surprise. She stepped into the kitchen and discovered that Pei Xuan was indeed preparing that dish.
