Chapter 29: The True and False Heiresses

Having finished all this, Gao Ming did not even make a phone call. He went straight up to the eleventh floor and headed for President Huang's office.

Luo Lie nodded. Cheng Yufei had previously found fragments of the Jadeite Nine-Dragon Cup at the scene, but she believed that cup had been a counterfeit. If the Jadeite Nine-Dragon Cup in the photograph was intact, then it was very likely the genuine article.

The scene felt uncannily familiar. Not long ago, Shen Yueying had also been here, telling a story while coughing up blood. Could it be that Shen Jinghai was now suffering from a backlash of true essence as well?

Attacks kept flying toward Jiang Han from every direction, leaving him no choice but to remain fully alert. This battle consumed even more energy than the previous one. At present, Jiang Han could do nothing but passively endure the blows.

Luo Lie opened the door and slowly pushed it inward. When it was halfway open, he suddenly shoved it with all his strength. The door slammed hard into whatever was behind it. He felt himself collide with something soft and yielding, then heard a cry of pain.

This was supposedly Ren Likun's catering group. What a terrible name. Ren Likun had never even allowed the restaurants under his company to use it on their signs. Besides, most of his businesses were nightclubs and hotels; he actually had very few restaurants.

A slender hand, still carrying a trace of warmth, rubbed repeatedly across his lips. Ye Hua's voice held a hint of displeased irritation.

Qiao Qiao began doing her homework with the utmost reluctance. Gao Ming sat beside her, flipping through her exercise books for each subject and getting a sense of how she had been doing lately. Overall, Qiao Qiao's grades were excellent across the board. She was not only clever but obedient as well, making her studies remarkably worry-free for the adults.

He had crossed through countless worlds and faced innumerable crises of life and death, as well as countless enemies, yet he had never encountered anything so astonishing. Could someone actually stop him from crossing through time and space?

Sure enough, in the next instant, Mars's machine was struck in the back by armor-piercing rounds, and red warning alarms rang without end. Had the Demon Knight Type One not been fitted with armor considerably thicker than that of the Machine Gun Type One, Mars would probably have been destroyed already.

But the silver was not brought back immediately after that banquet. In the original story, only the two gemstones most cherished by Huang Sìlang were brought back.

Because she had been too reckless and angered Chu Jin'an, she had been demoted to serve beneath the covered walkway. Now she could not even enter the palace hall.

Heng Yue only wanted to ask the emperor to taste the pastries she had made. If they were at least edible, they could fill his stomach a little.

Seeing Fuguang close its eyes and pretend to be asleep, refusing to pay her any attention, Chenbi flew over beside it and pecked at its head in an aggravatingly cheeky manner.

Not far away, the Grand Elder looked completely at ease, as though he was not worried about this battle in the slightest.

Everyone had gone off to attend to their own affairs. Three Realms City was currently the place under the fiercest assault by the insect race.

However, he paid no attention at all to the melody drifting into his ears. His eyes remained fixed intently on the script before him.

Marquis Zhao had certainly never expected Teacher Dachun to use such a description, and his face reddened involuntarily.

The vessel containing Jizhi's soul had to be refined. Afterward, the damaged portions of the soul had to be repaired before it could be returned to Jizhi's body.

To be fair, the law professor had arrived at exactly the right time. He really did have a few questions in that area.

Bai Yunxi's greatest fear had come to pass. Feng Jiuqing must have learned that she had met Zhu Changrong in secret. Sure enough, when A-Zhong displayed several paintings of her and Zhu Changrong together—whispering intimately, weeping in secret, or gazing at each other while holding hands—Bai Yunxi's eyes filled with a blood-red light.

Meanwhile, at the seating area before the National Beauty Pavilion, Second Madam Lu of the Lu family was chatting with Madam Cao and Fourth Lady.

After hearing him, Wei Chunxiao swiftly turned to face the window and spent a long while drinking plain water without saying another word. Wei Dadan propped his forehead on one hand, removed his glasses, and wept copiously. Only after a long time, when he heard Chunxiao's voice overhead, did he raise his head.

Feng Jiuqing shook his head without saying anything and left. There was no need to go to the Bai residence; he had to make a trip to the Prince of Chu Commandery's residence instead. He hoped to resolve the matter before things grew any worse.

Zhang Lan put her arms around his neck and said softly, "Ming, let me explain. Once we get there, I won't know anyone or anything, and I'll certainly be terribly busy for a while. You have a job too; you can't keep coming to look after me. If we bring the child there, our energy will inevitably be divided. We may fail to manage our work properly, and it would be even worse if he couldn't adjust to the climate and fell ill."

His mother grew angry. "Qiong'er, what nonsense are you talking about? What kind of girl remains unmarried at your age without feeling the least bit ashamed, then says she plans to stay at home for the rest of her life? Aren't you afraid people will hear you and laugh?" She glared at her, then walked toward the bedroom.

"The Sixth Prince is by nature unrestrained, yet he is the child I dote on most. I hereby bestow upon him the title of Prince An, along with a residence. From this day forward, he shall move out of the imperial palace and live there."

"Beautiful one, look at him. He doesn't even want to pay attention to you. Why don't you come with me? I guarantee I'll let you eat the finest food and drink the best wine every day." The powerful man tried, with blatant frivolity, to pull him into his arms.

Sitting atop the lofty roof of the Purple Mysterious Hall, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. It was just like back then atop Shu Mountain, when he had waited several times for her to finish preparing the food and bring out the wine.

"God Erlang, why are you saying nothing? Silence can sometimes keep disaster from finding you, but at other times it merely proves that you have a guilty conscience!" The Jade Emperor's gaze shot toward God Erlang like an arrow.

"Are you saying that the people of Earth now have a second White Devil?" Tulan Zuo asked, widening his eyes.

Yet the final sentence left Wang Xuanlong utterly stunned. For days, he had failed to realize that the one thing lovers most ought to say was: I like you.

"Grand President, if the National Defense Army can seize six provinces and one special administrative region within a single month, would you say it has the necessary strength?" Huang Xing countered.

Song Dihui casually pulled Duan Ruier into his arms. "Come on, give me a kiss!"

"You're awful! I don't want to!" Duan Ruier whined coquettishly.

"Then I'll kiss you."

Before Duan Ruier could react, Song Dihui pressed a deep kiss to her lips.

"It seems the master of the Ghost and God Palace really didn't lie to me. I was a little careless just now!" Dong Zhanyun had no choice but to gather dozens of waves of mental consciousness once again, but doing so had already drained him completely. For the time being, he could only abandon his second attempt.

"Your Highness, please write me an acknowledgment of debt, so I can at least give an account of myself," Lu Rongting requested.

"All right. From now on, rename your secret training base the Northern Gulf Logistics Support Base. All public activities are strictly forbidden from using Sharp Sword equipment," Chen Ning replied.

"Master, I have a cultivation technique that can help you break through—the Ninefold Yin-Yang Formula. I can also give you a compilation of the cultivation techniques practiced by all your former masters!" Ren Qiuye continued.
