Chapter 35: Craving a Forbidden Romance

Seeing Shi Tian reveal her true colors, Shi Yun couldn't help but chuckle softly. "I don't need my face anymore; you can have it, since you clearly don't have one of your own."

She saw no reason to continue tolerating Shi Tian. Objectively speaking, she owed Shi Tian nothing, as she was not the cause of these circumstances. While she lacked concrete evidence regarding the incidents online, that did not mean she didn't suspect Shi Tian was behind them.

"You're the one without a face!" Shi Tian hissed through gritted teeth.

Shi Yun narrowed her eyes slightly, her tone...

Prince Jinyang’s expression grew even colder. If he could truly secure the gold, he didn't care what the commoners had to say about it.

After expressing her gratitude, Su Juan began to eat. The Empress was easygoing, and the palace rules were not as stifling as elsewhere; she was not restricted in how much she ate.

If she chose her family's love, she would have to live under the same roof as another intruder, facing endless schemes and backstabbing, which would turn her life into a disaster.

Li Yuan had also studied the Golden-Armored Sacred Elephant. Although it was not a steel-based biological organism with immense defensive capabilities, nor an exotic beast of the Rock Clan that could utilize earth-elemental energy to bolster its defense, the Golden-Armored Sacred Elephant’s own hide was formidable enough.

Even for those like Lu Datong, who had bought their positions with money, one still had to perform meritorious service to earn a promotion. It was only slightly easier for them than for the grassroots lieutenants without connections. The downside was that once their family fell, everyone would join in the destruction, leaving them worse off than an ordinary lieutenant.

As the heir to the Duke’s estate, Xie Xun had never witnessed such a scene. His heart felt heavy, and he gave away all the silver he had brought, even handing over the clothes from his luggage.

The first to enter was a veteran contractor from Nanjiang County. I forgot who introduced him, but after he came in, he boasted at length, making it seem as if his capabilities were truly impressive.

Terrified, Chen Qian skipped the second period, requested leave from school, and went to the hospital for a check-up.

Mo Lingxuan did not beat around the bush; she took a jade box about thirty centimeters long directly from her storage ring and handed it to Li Yuan.

Prince Jinyang’s gaze toward Chu Xiao grew increasingly cold. Wanzhou must absolutely not fall into the hands of another.

If Caesar’s iron hoe hadn't been a fraction slower than Miyamoto Mumu’s iron shears, it is likely the head of Lu Feiyang, the Halberd King, would have been smashed to a pulp, his brains splattered everywhere!

Helpless, Xiaoyaozi had to draw his sword. Facing Master Xiaomeng, he dared not show the slightest negligence! In his view, the conflict between him and Master Xiaomeng should not end in death! It absolutely should not! But what other choice did he have now? With Xiaomeng’s unyielding and stubborn nature, who could hope to persuade her?

A moment later, the ageless nun let out a charming laugh, the sound filled with an alluring, soul-stirring quality, yet devoid of any lewdness; instead, it evoked a sense of tenderness and affection.

Yingjun spoke in a serious, solemn tone, though his wolf-like eyes were emitting a faint blue glow as he scanned Long Miaomiao, who was wearing pajamas after just having bathed.

"Pah, shameless scoundrel." Seeing Boss Niu’s lewd gestures and the lascivious expression on his face, Lin Ruoxi and Mu Wan'er blushed, spat in disgust, and turned away.

With a loud "crash," the door was kicked open. Three men in blood-stained armor strode in.

Generally speaking, cavalry held a clear advantage in confrontations with infantry. Throughout history, in every clash between the two, the cavalry won more often than they lost. However, despite the many advantages cavalry possessed, if used improperly, they could still suffer defeat.

Early the next morning, Yingjun opened his eyes, feeling groggy, while the jade-like beauty in his arms remained fast asleep; after all, she had been thoroughly exhausted by him the night before.

"I said I am sleeping here tonight," Situ Haoyu repeated calmly, shattering the illusions in Cheng Lingzhi’s heart. "I recall your room is right next door!" It was only a few steps away; could he not occupy someone else’s space?
