Chapter 26: With Ulterior Motives

“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!”
The eunuch outside the hall announced loudly.
Lin Yaoxue hurriedly rose, leading a group of palace maids and eunuchs to welcome him.
“Your servant pays respects to Your Highness!”
Lin Yaoxue approached Ling Xiaoyue, bowed deeply, her smile charming and graceful.
Standing beside Ling Xiaoyue...

Charles stood atop the lofty city walls, gazing intently northward. Though he did not see the legendary “darkness,” he could keenly sense an unsettling, oppressive force that stirred restlessness within him.

Even King Wei Anxi would never have imagined that the ruined state of Wei, which he had once abolished, would now be able to aid the Kingdom of Wei.

The only thing she felt clearly was that strong body, making her nestle close, filling her with a sense of security and completeness.

Ding Shuo answered the call. This fishing game had one advantage: it could be played even without a network connection, so taking a phone call would not affect the game at all.

A hero is often undone by a beauty; for the Emperor, a favored minister developing a weakness is a boon. With attachments, he would hesitate. Song Chenyu was a man of deep feeling.

Feng Lanyou had a plan. She said to Jiang Hu, “Reveal all of this to Chen Zhen. Tell him outright that the one who caused his son’s death was Chen Zhaoshi. Whether he believes it or not, just say it.”

At this moment, those two must be buying favor, trying to seize control of household management. Otherwise, why would they be so generous as to let even the servants have chilled plum juice?

Blaze had not yet comprehended what was happening when suddenly, the entire glacier beneath his feet collapsed.

When Blaze clicked his tongue and whispered to Skycrazy about whether they should give up watching the spectacle and flee immediately, escape was already impossible. Beneath the trees, those surrounded by black bears resisted desperately.

Yan Ci acted wildly, every word leaving Bai Ze at a loss; the three spirit beasts found him irritating, each wishing to teach him a lesson, lest he spread his arrogance everywhere.

The resulting technology points were enormous; the system’s current tech points had already surpassed one hundred thousand.

Yet it must persist. Guarding the sunken ancient Atlantis was the mission of the Midgard Serpent, one of the seven great masters.

“This aura must belong to the Radiant Emperor,” Lin Huang instantly identified the presence.

Long Yun had no choice but to take up a G36 automatic rifle, with only one magazine remaining.

Though the opponent had not attacked, Wu Bin did not relax his vigilance. He immediately ordered all Night Spirits to gather, including those resting on the sea’s surface, most of whom returned underwater to assemble, all adopting a defensive posture.

“Haha, dear nephew, don’t be too pleased yet. To become an array master requires far more spirit stones than these. It’s a profession that burns spirit stones but also earns them,” Chen Jiahui smiled at Lin Hao.

First, they forcibly gathered countless commoners, making them clear weeds and debris along the railway tracks.

“I am Zhang Haoran!” Zhang Haoran found the scene before him rather amusing and responded accordingly.

Hong Tian’s figure grew more solid, finally returning to its previous form. The imperial aura faded, but Hong Tian’s realm had ascended to the Immortal Lord stage, his dantian now filled with nine colors of petals: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, gold, and white—thirty-six petals in total.

“Your grandfather was nearly corrupted by evil spirits. Luckily you called me; otherwise, in less than a month, your grandfather would no longer be himself,” Lin Hao said.

When the Fire Python reached old age, it locked the notebook related to Jin Ling’er in a jade box and buried it in the serpent’s den. The discovery of this den originated from a promise he made to Jin Ling’er, and this den was also the closest place to the Jinling family estate.
