Chapter 51: Go on, Be Stubborn!

Ever since his injuries had improved somewhat, the spring nights were naturally agonizingly short. Emerging from Su Lingxiao's chambers in the morning, Yang Xu rubbed his sore and aching lower back. Su Lingxiao was a woman who well understood propriety; ever since entering the household, she had moved out of the main quarters and into the back rooms. After all, not being the legal wife, continuing to reside in the main quarters would be a breach of decorum.

Whether it was the audience present or participants like Liu Maozi and Yukihira Soma, they were all left somewhat dumbfounded by this lineup.

With a forceful heave of Ye Hansheng's large hand, the lace nightgown on my body was ripped in two. So brutal, right? I silently screamed in protest, but it was completely useless.

Yet she had never considered what kind of role Leng Dianchen was actually playing in this entire affair.

Coming back to her senses, Jiang Weimin unexpectedly came out personally to open the door, greeting her with a broad smile as he invited her inside.

Regardless of how Ouyang Qing called out to him, Leng Dianchen did not look back once, as if mocking Ouyang Qing for failing to seize this final opportunity.

Tongtong gazed at him in disbelief. How could this be possible? Just a moment ago, success was within reach. She had assumed that Mo Andi had tacitly approved of her actions.

Even Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, and Hatake Kakashi on the stage had their mouths slightly agape, their looks of utter astonishment entirely devoid of pretense.

"Will you really let her go?" To be honest, believe it or not, I certainly didn't. Could someone as deeply cunning as Ye Hansheng easily let Tong Xue off the hook? Ye Hansheng did not answer my question, and just as I wanted to press further, he denied me any further opportunity.

Right around this time, Zuoqiu Xu and the others returned. Witnessing this dramatic scene, they internally wondered whether the Empress Dowager would emerge victorious.

God of Cookery, I know you are the top chef of the Heavenly Court's mess hall, but there is really no need to show off your culinary skills right in front of me.

随后他元婴又吐出一股精纯的灵力，顺着经脉游走起来，有如那涓涓细流，每经过一寸受损的经脉，那一处经脉上的伤口便消失不见。

Without mentioning what the imperial decree was, Jia Qing had no choice but to kowtow in gratitude before following a eunuch out of the Daming Palace.

Qin Fengming's ears turned completely red. He abruptly pulled away from her, bit his lip, glared fiercely with knitted brows, and cast a malicious look in his direction.

However, Wang Qing, who possessed the curiosity of a baby, was intensely eager to learn about Wang Fan's experiences over the years. Along the way, she pestered Wang Fan to recount his time at the Yuanyang Sect, leaving him with no choice but to oblige.

There, beneath the green light, lay a massive skeleton, upon which stood a giant stone pillar bound with a black talismanic paper.

Regaining control of the situation, Tianhao did not hesitate in the slightest, launching a formidable counterattack with a fierce display of strength. Chanting incantations, his hands moved with sweeping grandeur in the air, after which nearly ten thousand talismans streamed forth from his wide sleeves.

At the very end of the defense, a single dragon tooth finally pierced through all resistance, grazing Ye Qing's shoulder blade. Yet the rule attached to that dragon bone was one of tearing, leaving Ye Qing utterly incapable of healing the wound.

Fearing that the sound of her voice might disturb Daiyu, who was quietly watching the spectacle nearby, Jia Qing scooped her up under the arms and settled her into his lap so she could speak with him without worrying about affecting others.

As the great sword spoke its final words, the draconic energy that had continuously swirled around it finally dissipated into the air, freed from its shackles.

Cleor released his grip on the spine of the blade. Seeing that Feng Yan appeared prepared and knowing that a magician like Cleor was present, Shan Guiji realized he could no longer attack Feng Yan, and wisely tucked the [Fallen Tooth Dagger] back into his inventory.

While it was said to be just barely sufficient, for a cruise ship of this scale, it was evidently far too cramped.

Although the physical laws that could be altered were few and subject to certain limitations, these capabilities alone were enough to turn the entire world upside down.

The intention of the Yama Tsukami had never been to attack the village, yet even such unintentional actions could inadvertently threaten the lives of such fragile creatures as humans.

Once everyone had boarded the vessel, an individual with a full head of silver hair yet a glowing, vigorous complexion emerged from the inner cabin—it was none other than Xiongba.

Upon hearing this, the Longteng warrior was momentarily stunned before hurriedly setting Ban Niu down.

Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it anymore. His dark eyes rolled about restily before a sly glint instantly surfaced in his pupils.

A heavy feeling sank in my chest: previously, Prince Xiao must have been deeply involved in the affair of Palace Lady Zhao and plotted extensively to successfully use the incident to checkmate the Crown Prince.

Cupping his fists in acknowledgment, Feng Yan walked toward another side chamber—the very same one the three brocade-clad guards had just entered. The lights were still on, suggesting they were likely still organizing the recruitment information from the past few days.

Although Lin Xing'er sometimes appeared full of schemes and enjoyed toying with Lin Xiao, at this moment she was simply lazy—truly lazy to the point where Lin Xiao could not even draw near her.

The blood had already obscured the original color of the Xuanyuan Sword; the blade seemed as though it had been soaked in a pool of blood, radiating an agonizingly piercing red glare.

A spell hurtling toward Chen Yunxiong and Bending was neutralized by Bending with a single hand, sending a shiver of dread through the demons. Even the attacks of an Arch-Mage had proven entirely useless.

Besides, since the other party had already expressed their thanks, how could he possibly have the heart to carry out only half of what he had promised?

As for the murmurs of discussion, they had shifted from cries of "Long live the Emperor" to the whispered, secretive gossip among the crowd.

"Damn it, Garrett is actually this powerful!" Kekun at the rear wore an expression of utter helplessness.
