Volume 1, Chapter 30: She Is the Empress, Why Would She Be Jealous?

“Boom!” As Lilith’s words fell, the sea serpent supply base that once shook the entire Ice and Snow Kingdom slowly emerged from the dimensional rift, revealing its terrifying visage once again.

“My fate is mine to command! The path I choose, I shall never regret. Move aside, no trouble here!” Du Qianjie’s aura surged as his eyes locked onto Butterfly Fly, a murderous intent gleaming within.

“Just call me Chen Mu; no need to call me ‘cousin’ every time. I’m not your cousin,” I said, somewhat irritated as I glanced at him.

A gentle, clear energy rose while the turbid energy sank. Xiang Xue lightly pressed her palms together, then suddenly one palm moved upward and the other downward, as if splitting heaven and earth itself, stabilizing and controlling these two forces with effortless mastery at will.

Because the divine shield bullets she carried were few, Jingzi had merely mentioned the divine shield without producing it. This was the first time everyone had actually seen it.

“How is it that these high-ranking cultivators are so much stronger than the martial artists on our planet?” Emperor Hua Yu asked in confusion.

However, the Mystical Sect was extremely strict in selecting Purple Belt disciples. With three selections each year and very limited slots, only the most outstanding Green Crown disciples could succeed. Thus, every Purple Crown selection was fiercely competitive.

Sitting in the carriage, Yu Zi looked pale. Over the past few days, she had begun to experience morning sickness, especially during jolts, her stomach churning uncomfortably.

The leader seemed to be listening intently, his expression growing grimmer by the moment. At that moment, the other team members noticed something unusual. The entire Minling Peak was trembling rhythmically, one tremor following another.

This outrageous price enraged everyone completely, prompting some to rush to the Jin Yi Wei offices to report the grain merchants. In the past, even a slight price hike would have resulted in the Jin Yi Wei arresting these merchants. However, out of sympathy for the weak and a reluctance to cause trouble, most were unwilling to file complaints.

Originally, Li Xiyin resisted somewhat, but there was no choice; they would not stop until someone helped him clean up.

In stark contrast to Feng He’s furious and emotional reaction, the man beside him remained silent, exuding a terrifying murderous aura that seemed to sever him from the world entirely.

Mu Bei spoke openly and enlightenedly. No matter who her son chose to watch, she supported his decision.

If she hesitated too much, Li Zhengting would surely notice the signs. Discovering her breach of contract would result in consequences she dared not imagine.

Qiao Xia gradually calmed down, fully aware that Tang Yu had always tolerated all her flaws. No matter how much she tormented him, even if he was enraged, he would put aside his pride at crucial moments.

But if Su Siman did not deal with the Yun family, then the Yun family would have no troubles at all, and she would not have to worry about the Su family’s hidden schemes.

Hearing this, the three opposite them turned pale. Those words cast a dark shadow deep in their hearts.

Xia Xue forcefully pushed away Xuan Situ who was pressing down on her, only to find the bed empty. She was instantly terrified.

Moreover, for him, it was not just himself; Zhao Xun also needed to find an opportunity to break through. Otherwise, their overall strength would stagnate, which would be the greatest tragedy.

Like a tide, the Song army surged forward without Wu Yuechan’s command, rushing toward the already breached city gates like starving wolves in the mountains, mobilized by Ye Yu.

Of course, if she felt her chances were slim, she would likely give her all to help her own younger brother. Such alliances were common and normal in Qingqiu; while not abundant, they were certainly not rare.

Dong Yangfeng was utterly crushed by Li Ling Tian’s Nine Heavens Divine Might, far beyond his expectations. Caught off guard, he was directly overwhelmed. As his body was hurled through the air, Li Ling Tian’s instant divine power struck fiercely before him.

“Who was responsible for the killing of the Jin Kingdom envoy?” A question lingered in Jiang Fei’s mind.

Su Yanran nodded vigorously. For her son, she even ignored her own husband. Thinking about it, the situation left her speechless.

At this stage, Lin Xi was surprised by his own willingness to make such sacrifices, yet during this period, he still nodded in agreement.

To win over the elder surnamed Luo and solidify a favor, Li Jichong painstakingly revealed his extensive experience and reputation built over the years.

Clad in a robe that resembled tranquil depths and towering mountains, he stood firm, his qi forming an impenetrable wall. With a “whoosh,” he blocked the sweeping strike of the Five Desires Monk on his right. At the same time, his left hand flicked suddenly, gathering true qi at his fingertip. With a sharp “shh,” an invisible qi sword shot forth, piercing toward Fu Ping’s chest and lungs.

I don’t understand how red coral is so valuable, but the red coral earrings are truly beautiful. After dinner and bathing, I sneaked back to my room and put the earrings on. While packing, I busied myself admiring my reflection and indulging in vanity.

Then Blue Sea moved. As Blue Sea took the first step, he was shocked to find Blue Shadow suddenly appear before him, delivering a merciless punch to his neck. Judging by Blue Shadow’s strength, if the punch connected fully, Blue Sea would likely be dead.

“Zizi, you’re truly understanding. What Old Sixth said, I will handle it. Don’t worry, it’s indeed true. I won’t let you suffer injustice for nothing.” The old lady would not act on a single side’s words to confront Xiao Yan. No matter how flawed Xiao Yan was, he was still a piece of her flesh and blood.

I had a classmate in middle school whose face was covered in acne. A year later, when I met him again, all his acne had vanished. Since I was also in puberty and suffering from acne, and nothing helped—even some cleansers—I asked him for advice on how to clear it up.

Xia Zechen’s tone was polite and distant, just as she had addressed him before, treating Ji Lingfei like a stranger.
