Chapter 50: I Am That Person, I Can Be Your Support

"Because I am here," Tang Niannian said with great confidence. "I will clear away all obstacles for you and support you in becoming the new emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire."
"You?" Xue Qinghe still looked somewhat puzzled. "You graduated from the Spirit Hall Academy, and your master is the Fifth Elder of the Spirit Hall. If you truly stay by my side, wouldn't that imply that I, the eldest prince, am colluding with the Spirit Hall?"
"Who said anything about colluding with the Spirit Hall?"
Tang Niannian let out a soft hum, her hand...

Finally, after making up her mind, she happened to run into Yue Hun. At that time, Yue Hun's face was injured, and his body was in a translucent state. Looking back, he had looked utterly hideous. She had a sudden whimsical thought at that moment: hideous people ought to stick together with hideous people! And thus, the subsequent events unfolded.

After a full day of testing and research, Niu Weiguo had the habits of the scorpions at the bottom of the ravine down to a science. He concocted a special spray, using it to clear the way once they reached Scorpion Ravine, and ventured unimpeded deep into areas they had never managed to reach during their previous two trips.

The prince shook his head, watching in terror as Cao Seng raised the bright yellow dagger once more and severed another arm from his body. Without needing an order, the old tree demon snatched the arm up and hurled it into the bonfire.

Moreover, the true decisive battle lay twelve days away in the Contest for the Prominent Clans. The sole victor would be able to swallow all the coal mines of Mount Qingcheng exclusively, as the original seven major sects were, after all, unique and singular entities.

"Oh no..." Behind him came Mitga, who had just stepped out through the door. Mitga, too, sensed that the aura of Iori had begun to shift, and what terrified him even more was that this change bore a striking resemblance to the time Iori had gone on a rampage at the church! Subconsciously, Mitga pulled Lilia behind him to shield her.

To Captain Li, this was practically tantamount to treason and rebellion. Ordinarily, few people would have the sheer courage to assassinate such a high-ranking regional official, knowing full well that it was a capital crime punishable by decapitation.

Nie Shao, meanwhile, was having a thoroughly miserable time. Being struck by that starlight was no different from suffering a full-force spiritual attack unleashed by a peak Martial Emperor expert. With Nie Shao's current realm, he was utterly incapable of resisting such a terrifying mental onslaught.

Xu Zheng dropped me off downstairs. Under his gaze, I walked into the lobby. As I climbed the stairs, I had a strong impulse to look back, but I didn't dare. I was afraid that if I turned around and saw him, I would feel awkward, and I was even more afraid that when I looked back, he would already be gone. I had no choice but to straighten my spine and press forward.

"That singer just came looking for the two new hires who started today. Many of the customers rushed over to get his autograph," the waiter whispered.

Once, she had thought that Qingxin Palace was also the master's bedchamber, or perhaps that of the master's future... husband.

"Brother Sanjiu, do you see anything unusual?" I kept my eyes fixed on the stone walls on both sides, but I couldn't find any problem.

Although beating someone to death within the Prince's Estate wasn't considered an extraordinary event, it was still a bad omen, especially today, which was the joyous occasion of Wang Caijun's awakening.

Thinking back to the first few days after Feng Ruhuang's arrival, she truly displayed her sharp edges every single day and constantly stirred up trouble. Back then, Nangong Ming stayed by Feng Ruhuang's side precisely because he was afraid she would cause trouble beyond her ability to handle or provoke people she could never afford to offend.

"An oddity? Does that mean strange?" Zixuan turned her head with a bitter expression as she realized that trying to understand Ruhuang's words really required a bit of brainpower.

Having settled these matters, she took Ying'er and Juan'er out of Madam Sun's room and walked toward her own courtyard.

Daoist Priest Wang applied some ointment with his finger and smeared it onto the wound on my neck. I only felt a sticky and cold sensation, and in less than three seconds, the pain in my neck vanished. Immediately following that was a wave of intense scorching heat, as if a freshly boiled tea egg had been pressed hard against my neck, making my teeth nearly chatter into fragments.

Throughout the entire capital, there were only a dozen or so embroidered uniform commanders of the thousand-household rank, yet the authority they wielded far surpassed what he currently held as a vice commander concurrently serving as a hundred-household officer.
