Chapter 1159: Made Up for the Regret of Not Having Fought with Qi Refining Stage Demon Beasts

"The Emperor's sacred nature remains as ever, his genius towering; by creating a new allusion built upon the foundations of our ancestors, he truly stands as a paragon for all scholars under heaven."

"Upon my return, your minister shall immediately have the venerable Qinghe record the idioms created by Your Majesty into the annals of history, to be passed down to future generations, ensuring that the glorious names of both ruler and minister endure for eternity."

As the imperial tutor, Lu Yang originally intended to correct the Immortal's erroneous use of the idiom, but on second thought, how could so great a sovereign ever err? This was by no means a mistaken idiom on His Majesty's part; it was clearly a new creation of his own.

To curry favor with her old classmate, Li Daming, she exerted her utmost culinary skill, discarding the remnants from the plates and scrubbing the porcelain until it gleamed brighter than floor tiles.

It was an exceedingly awkward moment; such things were ignored among family, but in the presence of an outsider, so wretched a spectacle seemed to freeze the very atmosphere.

The moment the wine was brought out, it carried an inherent chill, and when the seal was broken, a peculiar, somewhat bizarre aroma wafted forth. Yet, when poured into the bowl, it resembled golden amber, remaining translucent and clear.

Staring at the retreating figure of Wei Zixin, Wei Nuyi’s cold countenance remained entirely devoid of expression: "Eldest Sister, I wish you luck." With that, she lifted her foot and departed from the Bamboo Garden.

After hanging up the call from Lin Xiwei, Lu Kexin meticulously deleted all call and message logs, along with the photographs in her album, before placing the phone back into the drawer, pretending as though nothing had happened as she continued her vigil for Yu Chenguang to wake.

Alas, upon awakening, he found himself still within the prefecture office. With the enemy forces outside refusing to retreat, it was inconvenient for him to return home; a sudden disappearance would surely throw the entire city into chaos and panic. However, he could not simply command Liu Yi and the others to dispatch the enemy directly; it was best to keep his trump cards concealed.

Yezhu's kiss was dominant; he pressed forcefully against her lips, nibbling gently with his teeth before roughly forcing open her jaws, his tongue driving deep within.

I remained silent, casting a glance over her. To speak without exaggeration, An Yanru was exceedingly voluptuous, particularly in her current attire, which fully displayed her proud assets; had I made any demands, she likely would not have refused.

Seeing their eldest brother take action, Bajie, Zhenjian'er, and Biantou naturally could not idle about; they rushed over to join in the thrashing of Hyena-Face, and even Sixi, despite being an invalid, could not resist stepping up to deliver a kick to his visage.

If such an affair truly left a shadow upon her mind and frightened her, then the days to come would cease to be amusing.

Back at Shimengou, I had used Daoist Priest Zhong as bait to slay the second corpse-driver and his cohorts. Later, during the siege of the eldest sister of the corpse-drivers, Master Qiu's art of ambidexterity proved far superior to her silken-entwining hands; just as she was failing to parry his blows, she detonated the soul-capturing bell, nearly blowing us all to pieces.

I picked up a piece of meat with my chopsticks and proffered it toward his mouth, but just as he leaned his face close, I turned my wrist and ate it myself.

"Understood. Since when did you develop the nagging heart of a housewife?" I smiled and nodded, and Zhu Du, thoroughly satisfied, departed with his fat goose.

The snow had not relented since the end of the previous month. The bitter cold swept through the entirety of Tianshu like an uncontainable plague.

"Heavens, how can there be so much demonic energy here? Where is it coming from?" The fat youth was utterly astonished.

It was best to avoid warfare altogether, and to have secured such benefits now was deemed a total victory for the Great Ye, thanks entirely to the strategic planning of Zhao Wuyou and the others that such glad tidings were brought about.

The gatekeeper dared not delay; the prefectural governor was a frequent guest whom everyone recognized. Thus, without waiting for a formal announcement, he admitted them into the manor, first sending someone to inform Chief Steward Qin. Qin Fei rushed over upon hearing the news, and after a brief whisper among the three, they headed straight for the inner quarters to request an audience with the Prince of Teng.

"The next time my grand-aunt catches sight of you, I'll beat you every time I see you, until your own mother won't recognize you!" Xue Li watched them flee in panic and intentionally raised her broom inside to put on a show of bravado. Once they had crossed the threshold, she and Su Jing stood in the courtyard, exchanging a smile.

After several days of arduous toil, Mengxi finally concocted an antidote which she claimed to be unparalleled in this world. In her words, this medicine could prolong life at a critical juncture, proving even more efficacious than the Great Return Pill of the Shaolin Temple, though she had never actually seen the Shaolin pill herself.
