Volume One, Chapter 41: Love-Enhancing Fragrance
After the imperial physician checked his pulse, it was determined that Hanyi was in no serious danger.
Song Qinghuan was filled with doubt. She pulled Hanyi aside and asked in a low voice, "Are you truly alright? That snake was highly venomous; are you sure there won't be any lingering side effects?"
"Hey! This is my house, you know! What do you think you're doing to it?" Christine, who was lounging on the sofa eating fruit, complained with great dissatisfaction.
Ye Fantian possessed immense strength and composure. Although he was quite surprised by the battle between the two, he did not forget his true objective. After a moment of contemplation, he pointed toward a certain direction and spoke slowly.
It was as if they were clearing a path with gunfire, sweeping aside all who stood in their way. In moments, a bloody trail had opened up before the three of them.
With a series of swishing sounds, everyone raised their glasses in unison! Cai'er wanted to persuade Aliang to stop drinking, as she knew he would surely pass out if he continued, but her words were useless. When it came to alcohol, Aliang would never listen to her advice.
Hua Wuque and Hua Manlou were the first to depart; the moment their voices faded, they vanished. Experts always appeared mysterious, coming and going without a trace, a hallmark of their enigmatic nature.
Just as the old Daoist was about to step forward and ask the child how he had seen it, he suddenly rose and then sat back down. Closing his eyes, he performed a quick calculation and realized he was destined to have a connection with this boy. When he opened his eyes again, Niu Sheng had already pulled Dingzi away and was far off in the distance.
Xian Baichi arrived at that moment with his disciples, launching an attack that turned the reception hall into a ruin.
"This disgraced subject, Yang Yichen, pays his respects to Your Highness, the Prince of Qi!" Seeing Yang Jian waiting to greet him at the city gate, Yang Yichen hurried forward, dropped to one knee, and referred to himself as a disgraced subject.
In the office of the Chief of the Third Police Precinct, Bao Qifeng sat down respectfully across from the chief's desk, pulled out a beautifully wrapped package, and pushed it forward.
Even when she stood beside the princes, her radiance could not be dimmed. Her bearing was noble and refined, and the brilliance in her beautiful eyes was something not even the celestials in heaven could rival.
It was indeed simple and brutal. Ye Chuan bit directly into the golden insect egg. It was quite elastic, much like a giant piece of taffy, though it lacked the sweetness; the smell was so pungent that one bite felt like consuming a ton of garlic, stinging Ye Chuan’s eyes and bringing tears to them.
Sensing the aura of this ancient sword, Po Qiong and the other natal artifacts trembled slightly, for they knew this blade was powerful—scarcely weaker than themselves.
In a mere instant, Shangguan Liuyun realized he was exposed within the black mist, his face turning pale with terror.
Although the members of "Rain in the Chrysanthemum" were slower, they were much closer to the gate of the "General's Hall" than the people of the "Heavenly Dao Group." They easily blocked the entrance before the others could arrive.
Thinking of how he had ignored her for the past few days, and how even now upon his return she remained cold, he felt a tightness in his chest.
Ye Chuan took the elevator downstairs. It was already night, and Nan Lang and Duan Ning were waiting anxiously. Seeing him emerge, they hurried over to surround him.
If the range was four hundred and thirty-five paces, then the effective range should be around three hundred and fifty paces; that is to say, within this distance, it could inflict sufficient damage.
The losses within the government had decreased, the common people were no longer wantonly bullied, corruption had been significantly reined in, and the relationship between the military and the civilians had eased. Throughout Henan Prefecture, it could be said that the seas were calm, the rivers clear, and the people lived in peace and contentment.
