Chapter 41: The Concubine Serves Tea

"Your Highness."

Wen Shizhi had an exceptional memory.

There were dozens of domestic servants and over a hundred guards in the Prince Jin's Mansion. Not only could he remember every single one of their names, but he could also recount their family members and dependents down to the last detail, never missing a single one.

Yet, the woman in black night attire he had just collided with was undeniably a total stranger.

And at the very moment she abruptly turned and left, Wen Shizhi caught a glimpse of something in her brows—

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Cuihua appeared docile on the surface, while harboring all sorts of crafty schemes deep down. Normally undetectable, her true colors were now completely exposed at this critical moment.

"No need, I have my own. You keep that one for yourself." Since it was presumably meant for his self-defense, how could she take it as her own? She also had tools that she was accustomed to using.

Yet there was no doubt that, regardless of how many formidable figures Loufan possessed, Loutai Mingyu's position among them remained irreplaceable, unless the Loutai family happened to harbor someone else whose strength matched his own.

"Who said you? Why are we talking about you?" Li Fugui's words were cut short as Wang Gouisheng chimed in first.

However, even if you don't go all out when competing against them, what is the meaning of not even sending your captain onto the field?

Bound by the laws of the world, the flames in the Earth's Core were capable of unleashing god-level might, while those lofty, god-like beings would never risk their lives to venture down there.

Fumei's thoughtfulness truly brought comfort to Zhan Siyu. Yet Fumei had come with an agenda this time; it was definitely not as simple as merely asking about that matter.

"Very well, the movie we have selected for you is this one. Would you please take a look and see if it is to your liking?" The counter attendant pushed the film description forward toward Huang Zhitao. Huang Zhitao merely glanced over it hastily and agreed.

The two bickered all the way along their journey, and upon reaching the six-hundred-li Gobi Desert, Xin Yanque was instantly struck dumbfounded.

Could it be related to the phone call this morning? Was something actually wrong with the company? Or was he keeping something from her?

In the distance, the Chu people stood on their tiptoes, craning their necks in eager anticipation. Upon seeing that the person entering the city was not the anticipated King of Qin, but rather Mi Tong, the King of Chu, expressions akin to constipation appeared on their faces, looking utterly awkward.

After the torches went out, driven by the instinct for self-defense, the Qin soldiers opened their eyes wide, staring fixedly into the distant darkness.

Saying this, she cast a glance at the raving Tang Dali. The latter's appearance was definitely no coincidence, and there were far too many suspicious elements surrounding Agula's sudden emergence.

With a crisp "pop" in the silent night, the wick of the bronze lamp sparked faintly, pulling Meng Tian back from his train of thought.

What this implied was that the reason Elder Madam Chen framed you was simply because your relationship with the First Madam was already so poor, and you repeatedly opposed her. Otherwise, Elder Madam Chen would never have wronged you.

Interlaced bursts of dark purple lightning shattered within the dispersed mist. The moment those black misty tentacles came into contact with the phantom of the giant claw, they were torn to shreds by the radiating dark purple demonic energy. Upon seeing this, Jiang Xiu's heart leapt with joy, and he随即 swung his arm forcefully toward the grotesque fish. The giant claw phantom elongated accordingly, slamming violently into the monster's head.

Just after stepping outside to inquire about school matters from Zhuge Ruolan, Wu Zheng discovered that Principal Hu had not caused trouble for him. Feeling somewhat perplexed, he simultaneously developed a great deal of favorable impression toward this principal.

"All right! The rest of you, attend your classes normally. You two, come to the teacher's office!" Xu Li had never expected that right after calling Ye Xiang's parents in, she would witness Ye Xiang fighting at school.

The towering floodwaters instantly transformed into lifelike ice, suspended menacingly in mid-air ready to strike, while countless leeches lost their vitality within the ice, either falling dormant or perishing altogether.

A look of disdain appeared on Gu Long's face as he tossed a half-empty bottle of liquor to Li Bin. Before Li Bin could react, Ye Mu snatched the bottle away and downed it in one breath. The liquor streamed down the corners of his mouth. As the fiery liquid entered his throat, Ye Mu broke into a violent fit of coughing. He had never been in such a wretched state before.
