Volume 1, Chapter 44: Being an Emperor is Too Hard!

Qin Hu looked around and noticed a wooden stick placed beneath the wheel, two meters long, thick at the handle and tapering toward the top.

Su Mi was suddenly reined in by her waist, her posture completely immobilized. Just as she was about to make a sound, the scorching breath of the person behind her brushed against her ear.

Jiang Yun and the other three pressed their buttons, and their chairs slowly revolved. They faced the audience once again, turning their backs to the stage.

However, little did they know that Bai Mengxi was thoroughly content at the moment. As for silver and wealth, having them was naturally wonderful, but if earning them meant making her unhappy, then she would rather pass. Why make herself suffer needlessly?

Aside from the military camp where order still prevailed, crimes were rampant in every street and alley. Just as he had guessed, the caravan acquired grain within the cities, taking only small amounts each time, until after passing through several cities, the oxcarts were finally filled to the brim.

The cavalry regiment had it even worse. Caught in a heavy downpour halfway through their march, they dared not run at full speed. Even so, more than a dozen soldiers suffered falls, and several horses injured their legs, allowing the infantry, marching in forced steps behind them, to catch up.

Leaving aside whether there were truly over a hundred storage bags filled with immortal herbs and precious materials, even if there were only the ones right in front of them, it would be more than enough for the entire Celestial Master Mansion to use for a decade.

After finishing his warm-up, Wang Ying sat cross-legged on the ground, carefully sensing the spiritual energy within his body. This time, however, he did not immediately begin meditating, because he could feel a swelling sensation building up inside him.

While the adults in the village were preoccupied with the wild pheasant, Song Li cared only about the impact of the Song family's division of the household. She hurried home and informed her maternal grandmother and her mother about the separation of the family property.

"Huff, huff!" Drenched in sweat and on the verge of collapse, Qin Hu lay on the ground and panted heavily. This body was simply far too weak.

Master Wang had probably never witnessed such a terrifying spirit before. He took a slight step backward, stared cautiously at Mr. Huang, and fumbled continuously inside his trouser pockets, though it was unclear what he was searching for.

Naturally, I wished for nothing more than that. Such matters were impossible to explain clearly, nor did they have any legal basis. They did not want to provoke troubles like us, and naturally, we had no desire to court trouble from them either.

He felt as though a foot was resting directly on his face, while someone was embracing him from behind.

What a pity that he had erected a barrier around his heart, one that she could now cross under no circumstances.

Someone in the darkness asked vigilantly. That person struck a spark and lit an oil lamp, using its glow to reveal the dark shadow standing by the well.

Sure enough, just as Master Pan and I stood up, a spirit body slowly solidified, appearing so abruptly right before our very eyes.

Bai Tingting could not help but smile. She, too, felt that something was amiss lately, as she found herself becoming increasingly oblivious to her surroundings.

"Heaven and earth are natural, defilements disperse, the cavern is profound and mysterious, illuminating the great primordial..." The master initiated the chant, and everyone recited the incantation in unison. Although salvation was no longer possible, and this senior was about to have his soul scattered to perish forever without entering the cycle of reincarnation, everyone still used this simplest of incantations to express their utmost reverence and respect.

To be honest, from the perspective of morality, this was something I ought to intervene in; from the perspective of righteousness, it was even more imperative to do so.

There were no abnormalities during class time. Ji Wei merely observed secretly and noticed that those few classmates only had slightly poor complexions, as if they hadn't slept well. However, for middle school students, this was far too normal... There was a popular saying among students: spring lethargy, autumn fatigue, and summer sound sleep, and it felt as though there was never a time in the entire year when one felt fully awake.

The other person gazed steadily at Qin Qi, their eyes colliding as if engaged in some kind of contest. A moment later, Chen Ye gritted his teeth and changed the number, but Qin Qi still shook his head.

If descendants turned out to be good-for-nothings, imperial bestowed items could perhaps be exchanged for a prosperous future. Fortunately, the Ming imperial family never pursued where the bestowed items went after being given away. The crime of showing disrespect to imperial bestowed items could simply never occur in the Great Ming.

When the new year arrived, more than half of the Serie A matches had already been played, and as things stood, Inter Milan's points firmly secured them the top spot.

Lin Zhi, however, feigned complete unawareness and remained silent. In truth, she believed that returning home ought to be done in grand style so as to overawe those bullies who might pick on her family. As for whether she traveled by carriage or on horseback, it mattered little to her.

The old master's eyes lit up. Although he could not fathom how Lian Ze might turn this situation around, having navigated the business world for many years, what kind of instantaneous and miraculous reversals had he not witnessed?

After pondering for a long time without finding an answer, Liu Yuan simply pushed the matter aside to avoid vexation and concentrated instead on reporting in detail the tasks Xiao Ji had previously assigned.

His nimble tongue swiftly ensnared hers, and his large hand firmly cupped the back of her head, deepening the kiss further and further.

Jing Tian had always been carefree, but when the old retainer stated it so bluntly, a flush still rose to her cheeks, and she hastily raised her hand, attempting to push Liang Chenxiao away.

However, had Zhang Fei known at the time, given his penchant for alcohol and the fact that he was then living under someone else's roof, Ye Ping could not guarantee whether Zhang Fei would have demanded the secret recipe.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Princess was initially startled, then shook her head at Jiang Yun锦, clearly refusing to believe what Madame Song had said.

Over time, this fostered Xie Yuyin's volatile and unpredictable temperament. The more Empress Zhou sought to control Xie Yuyin's life, the more rebellious he became.

Having originally believed he would also perish at sea, he never expected to encounter the empire's prince through a fortuitous coincidence.
