Chapter 37: The Distinction Between Legitimate and Illegitimate Birth

Oh no! Xia Qiqi felt her limbs go limp, overwhelmed by such extreme and seductive beauty. Truth be told, her body was being truly honest; every cell in her being was urging her to do something! Yet, the sliver of reason remaining in her brain warned her that the person before her was the most crucial individual in her survival mission. He commanded the Imperial Guard Headquarters of the Great Liang Kingdom and was the most powerful...

Xiao Tian and the five from Xuanwu exchanged a glance, leaped into the Gate of Creation, and were instantly swallowed by the swirling mass of light.

She had previously thought Bai Yucheng was a liar, but it turned out he hadn't spoken a word of falsehood! Yet, strangely, why did she have no memory of him from high school at all?

Thinking of this, he placed both hands upon the giant stone. Golden light surged from his palms and poured into the Spirit Gathering Stone.

"Not necessarily. Perhaps the timing was just right, or there were others behind the scenes," Zhou Boren said with uncertainty.

"Why? Why must you keep ordering me to do this and that?" She retorted immediately, refusing to give an inch.

The red giant python grew even larger, its tongue flicking rapidly as it slammed directly into the seven-colored silk handkerchief.

"So much chatter!" Lin Xi snapped. She snatched the handcuffs from his hand, grabbed Su Yi’s wrist, locked them on, and tightened them firmly.

He scrutinized the expression on her face, not missing even the slightest shift in her demeanor. Seeing his gaze, Feng Feng thought, *No wonder he asked what ointment I used earlier; he was intentionally trying to trap me into revealing whether I was telling the truth.*

When she got out of the carriage at the entrance of the ancestral temple, she looked at the desolate weeds and the crumbling, dilapidated ruins. She suddenly turned to look at Ye Jia beside her.

The men in black had clearly been prepared. The moment the door was breached, they leaped up, vaulted over the tables, and escaped through the roof, leaving behind only a long sword at Lu Zimei’s feet. A scarlet dot was imprinted on the base of the hilt, appearing strikingly conspicuous.

If she could learn of the existence of the Data Alliance, she would likely be shocked to discover that she had only seen the tip of the iceberg. Since the emergence of the Data Alliance, the consortiums' control over society had entered an entirely new era.

Merchants pursue profit. When all conditions are compared, the result is actually quite clear: while an automated production line requires a significant short-term investment, it offers major long-term benefits to the company in various aspects.

Reflecting on the cause and effect of the entire matter now, Nanny Gu felt that perhaps Lady Qian had realized that if they befriended Du Zhixuan, who possessed the "Fortunate Star" destiny, the benefits brought to the Marquis of Yongcheng's estate would far outweigh the detriments of continuing their hostility toward her.

The reason the Prince of Qin had softened his stance today was merely because the Princess of Qin and the Heir of the Prince of Qin were in their hands, and he feared for their lives. If even one of them were to be killed, wouldn't the Prince of Qin mobilize his hundred-thousand-strong army to fight the imperial court to the death?

For some reason, this lively scene only deepened her sense of loneliness.

Had he not confirmed that this fellow was truly the second son of the Prince of Qin’s estate, he would have genuinely mistaken him for a sworn enemy of the Prince’s house from a past life.

In the shadows, it guides every decision, yet leads you to believe that it was your own choice.

Having said that, Sheng Jinxiu stood up and ran out, thudding away to contact her friends in the internet water army. Seeing this, Shao Er hurriedly reported to Sheng Jintian, then lifted his robes and ran after her. Among these people, only the clueless Sheng Jinxiu was a danger, but fortunately, she had Shao Er following her.

In this world, there were no high mountains or flowing waters, no flowers or trees, no birds or beasts, and certainly no humans—the spirits of all things. All the phenomena of the universe were entangled together, like a giant black egg.
