Chapter 23: Jian Tang Feeds the Crown Prince Empty Promises

Jian Suishan was equally perplexed, but—
"Jian Tang, is that any way to speak to your elders? Your uncle is simply... imparting the ways of marriage to you young people."
The ways of marriage?
Yet, who in Hong Kong did not know that the Crown Prince, Shen Suinian, was notoriously fastidious and remained unmarried to this day?
Jian Tang pulled himself back from the story he had just heard. As he lowered his gaze, his hand was firmly gripped by Chen Bozhou.
"Uncle Jian, Mr. Shen, please rest assured. I will not comment on the marriages of others, but as for my marriage with Tangtang, I will remain devoted until the end and ensure she is happy and fulfilled."
Chen Bozhou pressed Jian Tang’s hand against his chest. "Tangtang, you must trust me."
Jian Tang sensed Shen Suinian’s dark, inscrutable gaze lingering on him, but he could only steel himself...
Long Shiqi and his two companions were also startled; they had never expected Xiao Qiang to actually dare to fire at Shi Yongxing.
The more Xiao Qiang spoke, the angrier he became, referring, of course, to the ambush Li Haoran had suffered back in the capital.
The two high-level warriors who arrived later and the two from before immediately fanned out, forming a semicircle to protect the City Lord.
Li Qianmo looked at the crowd of onlookers and frowned. He raised his voice and said, "What are you still looking at? The show is over, disperse." Seeing that the good spectacle had been ruined, the crowd left in dejection.
"Are you not back in school? Or are you working a part-time job here during the break?" Su Xinyuan asked with concern.
If this were seen by the people of the Yuanji tribe, and if that old priest who disliked him so much found out, he might conjure up some bizarre excuse, bypass Yuan Zhan, and have him seized and burned at the stake.
However, regarding the first two problems, Ma Jing felt helpless. The issues of scale and power consumption were fundamentally unsolvable, and as mobile phone chips became increasingly powerful, the power consumption of phones would only rise, never fall.

At this very moment, the area around the connected villas at the summit of the main peak of Mount Qiuming had descended into total chaos; to describe the scene as utter bedlam would be an understatement.
He caressed the alchemy furnace, pondered for a long time, and continued, "Since this furnace is now mine, it should have a name. Let's call it the Taiji Furnace." With that, he pressed both hands onto the furnace, recited a mantra, and the massive object vanished from before him, entering his Cornucopia.
Chen Zukun raised his hand and gripped the pistol, his thumb wedged against the hammer so that even if the trigger were pulled, the bullet would not fire. With a swift tug, he snatched the revolver, twirled it around his finger, flipped open the cylinder, and emptied the six rounds.
"Yes, sir!" the deputy commander replied cheerfully and led a squadron to fly over the Holy City of South China.
Ye Xingchen frowned, attempting to use the fluctuations of his internal essence to break the binding curse, only to find himself powerless to do so.
Since that powerful being could turn Cai Yu and Shi Xiaoxiao into targets under his control, others could easily become targets as well.
It is worth noting here that Wu Yifan is not the son of the Wu family; as for who his mother is, that must remain a secret for the time being.
Xiao Lin said: "I’ve suffered such a loss! I’ve treated a precious basin like a broken pot and smashed a gourd to make a ladle. Now that I’ve reached this point, what else can I do but rely on my maiden family?"
A hundred fighter planes began a relentless bombardment of the Japanese defense lines. The Japanese aircraft currently in the area were simply insufficient to counter the vanguard army; their numbers were few, and their full attention was focused on the sea—how could they have so many planes on land?
After fighting for so long, Ye Feng knew deeply how difficult the Heavenly Snake Ancestor was to deal with. Even when exhausted and at the end of his rope, his bag of tricks remained endless.
Regarding the details of the light sword, Baekhyun could not remember clearly; he could only vaguely sense that it was incredibly powerful.
Yixing helped Yue Li. Although her injuries were superficial, a vampire could not afford excessive blood loss, and she remained very weak.
Gong Xique often left Yuan Qiuhua speechless, which only made them feel more righteous, as if morality were entirely on their side, leading them to act with increasing impunity.
War banners fluttered, stirring the Great Dao of heaven and earth. Each wave surged toward Jiang Dong like a raging sea. Even with the replenishment from the Great Demon Forbidden Technique, he could not keep up with the consumption of his soul power, mainly because the space was relatively enclosed and free-floating soul power was limited.
An electronic buzzing sound echoed, though everyone remained immersed in the frantic competition. James cheered, and the fans shouted along with him.

Inside the Fayan Temple, everything had been normal, but just ten minutes after Jiang Dong passed away, the central incense stick snapped in mid-air—a sign of great misfortune. Master Hongji felt his brow twitch; he couldn't fathom the cause. The Western Guide seemed to have arrived earlier, so why had things suddenly turned ominous?
From him, Di He learned that during their absence, Bo Yanhe’s brother had come calling, and Bo Yanhe had left with him.
In just a few exchanges, the difference in skill was clear; facing Bai Yan's offensive, Qimi had no way to fight back.
"It's quite alright, please feel free to chat. I shall go prepare some tea for you two." Young Master Zhang turned and walked toward the hall.
These were things the people of that era could never have imagined. Yet sometimes, reality is even more insane than imagination.
For all those willing to settle in the Xiaoyao Basin, housing would be provided for free. For those cultivating greenhouse vegetables, the Xiaoyao Empire would build the facilities for free and provide a subsidy of one gold coin per acre. Those choosing orchards would also receive free housing, free transplanting of fruit trees, and a subsidy of two gold coins per acre.
"Why, why would she do this to me!" Daisy sobbed, wiping her tears in Lu Yan’s arms.
"Get down here first!" Old Nine said with a dark face. He pulled hard on her arm, and while Yushengxiang used the momentum to push off the car body with her left foot, she performed a graceful backflip and launched a diagonal pounce, striking at Old Nine with both palms.
Regardless of what treasures Chu Yan had scavenged from the eighteenth floor, they just needed to snatch them all back.
Although Jiang Cheng had stated in the halls of the Seven Luminaries Peak two days ago that he would protect Gu Yue, when faced alone with two Yellow Court Realm cultivators and two others whose strength was not much inferior, he could not help but feel a sense of dread.
Huo Lin straightened his cuffs. He knew at a glance that this was a matter of domestic turmoil. He didn't want to interfere, but since the eldest son of the Zuo family was, after all, a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue, his unexplained death would be difficult to explain when the Emperor asked.
