Chapter 113: Debate at the Imperial Court

Just as everyone assumed the matter was settled, Su Li unexpectedly shifted his tone, saying, "The cost is secondary; what truly concerns me, Prime Minister, is something else entirely."

Hearing this, the ministers replied in unison, "We know not what weighs on the Prime Minister’s mind, but we are ready to share your burdens."

Su Qi, Shi Lei, and the others, however, grew tense.

This place was once a bustling part of the city, but after the South Street district rose to prominence, foot traffic here dwindled, leaving only the occasional passerby crossing through the market.

The moon was exceptionally round that night, the night our hero, An Nailuo, was first branded with the title of "sissy."

Moreover, it wasn't just raw power; in that strike... he felt he had been utterly outclassed in technique.

Having seen so much, he perceived things more clearly than others and encountered the darker side of human nature at an earlier age.

In the darkness, An Nailuo looked at the candy, smiled, unwrapped it, popped it into his mouth, and chewed.

He thought back to the first half of his life; he had spent so many years at the frontier, away from his family, and he had endured it all the same.

Minutes later, there wasn't a single surveillance camera left in the living room; he had destroyed them all.

Gu Changguan sensed that something was wrong. With perception far beyond that of an ordinary man, he knew he couldn't dodge the coming strike. The chill of death crept over his entire body.

He realized he could not fathom Xu Yin's tactics at all. What was the point of elevating a simple, grave error to the level of a saintly act?

Jiang Xiqian was no fool; she could feel his tension. When he held her hand, it was even trembling slightly.

Above it hung a pair of couplets with the horizontal scroll: "Fengling." The first line read: "The Emperor's throne, where stars encircle the Purple Zenith"; the second line: "Celestial ranks, where phoenixes and cranes serve the Eight Wilds."

"More or less. You little rascal, what have you done now to try and drag me into this mess?" Hongjun nodded in admission.

"I can give you that broken lamp, but only on the condition that you break through to become a Golden Immortal," Xie Yun said, his tone one of stern disappointment.

In truth, Ron wanted to see if there was a chance to visit the moon. He truly hoped those people were Enlil's men, so that he could use Enki to control them and fly to the moon. He wanted to see Zhu Zhao and You Ying; if they had died and were left drifting endlessly through space, it would be too tragic.

Active cells are able to absorb other elements more easily, which further explains why those who cultivate immortality can abstain from grain and absorb the elements contained in the air, directly satisfying the body's needs.

Su Huaixiu sighed and embraced her. "Silly girl, there is no one here but you." As he spoke, he took her hand and placed it against his chest, right over his heart.

Furthermore, his father had thoughtfully installed the most advanced medical repair system in his cultivation room.

Fatty Jin had not expected that with just a subtle hint, Nanke would be able to see the stakes so clearly.

Having suffered a setback and humiliation in front of them, Du Huai would likely not go looking for A-Lu's trouble for some time. Ye Xiaoying finally set her mind at ease.

Seeing Tana in such a state, Ling'er could not help but cough to signal her. Hearing Princess Ling'er's cough, Tana looked toward her, only to see the Princess casting a warning glance.

As for the Black Hawk-beaked host still on the floor in the center of the venue, upon receiving an urgent order through his earpiece, he immediately raised the microphone to his lips and shouted loudly.

Ye Fan suddenly stepped forward and shoved Lin Kun against the wall. Lin Kun instinctively tried to stop him, but before he could utter a single word, Ye Fan had pressed his lips against his, his tongue thrusting inside savagely, demanding everything with frantic intensity.

Lin Jue could not blame Xie Yingying for meddling. From her perspective, having escaped the Flower Realm herself, she naturally hoped to see more people freed from that fiery pit. Therefore, wherever she could offer help to these people, she would do so with all her might.
