The celebratory atmosphere in the village quickly subsided with the absence of the person being celebrated. After organizing a banquet for the officials who had come to deliver the good news and ensuring they were well-fed and content, the village chief and the villagers bid the officials farewell with great enthusiasm.
Once the officials left, Shuishui Village returned to its usual tranquility. However, every household couldn't help but feel a sense of joy, knowing they were e...

While Jiang Youfu continued his daily cultivation, he also busied himself with refining his culinary skills, thoroughly enjoying his time. Thanks to the small portion of loot they had acquired from the bandits, the sect now had meat on the table almost every day.
Liu Yunan meticulously managed the accounts, setting aside most of the money for future sect expenses and using the grain as the sect's current food supply.
About seven or eight days ago, the village had already ...

Late at night.
Qin Jianghe sat alone in his room, going over the accounts. He had to log the recent transactions, including the money and provisions they had seized from the bandits' lair, a portion of which was allocated as income for the sect.
Lin Xiao and Jiang Youfu stayed the night at the escort agency instead of heading back.
A soft knock came from outside the door.
Without looking up, Qin Jianghe said, "Come in."
Gu Yuxiao entered, carrying a bowl...

Jiang Youfu patted his slightly round belly and sighed, "I never imagined that the stories Elder Liao tells us about the cultivation world are actually true. I always thought he was just making them up to scare us."
Fang Manliang, who hadn't been back to the sect yet, asked, "Who's Elder Liao?"
With a mysterious expression, Jiang Youfu replied, "Elder Liao is one of our sect's highly skilled elders. He loves telling us stories. If you ever return to the sect and see someo...

Jiang Youfu finished eating a fruit and tossed a handful of roasted beans into his mouth. "Could it be that Jianghe went to deliver the goods first?"
Lin Xiao considered the suggestion but shook his head. "Fang Er mentioned that the distance to Quhuai Prefecture is only about five hundred miles. If Jianghe went to deliver the goods, he should have reached the prefecture before dawn after traveling through the night. Now that it's afternoon, he would likely be on his way back an...

After speaking, Lin Qian put on his water-breathing apparatus, and, taking Ye Xin with him, turned to leave.
"Haha, Clan Leader Zhang really has deep pockets. I apologize for calling you by name earlier—I wouldn’t want you to feel bad and end up crying," Zhang Zide said with a laugh before departing.
Li Yunfeng also sneered and followed suit, leaving Zhang Keren trembling with anger where he stood.

"Zhang Keren, don't go too far!" Zhang Zide glared at Zhang Keren, angrily shouting.
Hearing Zhang Zide’s words, Zhang Keren’s expression remained calm, his face still adorned with a faint smile. "Zhang Zide, you're not the head of the clan yet, so is it really appropriate to call me by name?"
"Besides, the rules of this Treasure-Betting Event clearly allow bidding on items. Did I break any rules?"
Despite his anger, Zhang Zide knew he couldn't do anything about i...

Zhang Zide smiled and said, "I received a message from one of my clan members. They found the Refining Body text in the literary section!"
"The Refining Body text? Let’s go check it out!" Upon hearing this, Lin Qian's face lit up with joy.
The Refining Body text was crucial to the success of the Puppet Body Project.
The sooner they obtained this text, the sooner they could co...

Chen Xi wasn't aware of Zhuge Liang's thoughts. If he knew, he would probably laugh uncontrollably. Escaping all the world's schemes? Since the beginning, he had lost count of how many times he miscalculated. If it weren't for always preparing for things to go wrong, he didn't know how many times he would have failed by now. But perhaps it was this very mindset that made others think he was always prepared...

Chen Xi turned right after leaving the house, and before he could exit the inner courtyard, he encountered Zhuge Liang, dressed in his scholarly robe with a calm expression, exuding an air of wisdom and confidence.
"Kongming, you're not studying in the courtyard. What brings you here?" Chen Xi asked, calming himself. He had always treated Zhuge Liang with leniency.

Chen Xi hastily wrote the order, stamped it with his seal, and placed it on the desk before rushing out. If he arrived too late and Lujiang had already fallen, and if only Lu Xun and Lu Ji escaped, it would be a tragedy.
Leaving the administration hall, Chen Xi quickly jumped into a carriage. Liu Bei's sword and his presence were essential, so he couldn't afford any mistakes. He ordered the driver to hurry to the Chen family residence.

With this battle, Yuan Shu suffered a severe setback. The reason for Yuan Shu's loss wasn't due to the number of soldiers killed, but rather because his son, Yuan Yao, was overly excited during the battle and got injured while charging into the fray. After Du Xi flooded the region by diverting the Yu River, Yuan Yao couldn't escape quickly enough, and his wound became infected. Since then, he has been burning with fever.
Yuan Yao was Yuan Shu's only son, and with his son's condit...

The household registration system Chen Xi implemented, which was inspired by the Ming Dynasty, was too advanced for this era. Even though Ju Shou and Xu You were both among the most intelligent of their time, neither had considered that all the intelligence their subordinates had gathered was false information deliberately fed to them by Taishan.
In summary, Li You and Lu Su were overwhelmed with work, and the new household registration system was initially cumbersome. As a resul...

The submission of the Yellow Turbans meant that Liu Bei no longer had any internal threats. However, for the other warlords who received this news, there was only silence. Guan Hai's act of righteousness shocked them all and left them with the feeling that Liu Bei might be a reincarnation of Emperor Guangwu, Liu Xiu.
In the past, Emperor Guangwu had similarly risen from a declining royal family, rapidly gaining momentum as people from all directions flocked to his banner, eventua...

Guan Hai walked out of the tent, carrying his long spear with a calm expression. The Yellow Turbans who had been gathered outside instinctively made way for him, silently watching as he moved forward. The crowd followed him as he made his way toward the camp's exit.
Mounting the red horse that Guan Yu had sent, Guan Hai pulled the reins and charged out of the camp.
The Yellow Turban leaders hurried to follow him. Just a few hundred meters ahead, Guan Yu and his cavalry were...

Jia Xu was stunned, while Liu Bei stood there, mouth agape, unsure of what to say. Although Fa Zheng was often treated as a mascot in Taishan, and despite his occasional eccentric behavior, even Liu Bei would sometimes find tasks for him to sharpen his skills. There was no denying that Fa Zheng was a genius. After all, if he weren't a genius, why would so many people bother to find challenging tasks for him to tackle?

For Liu Bei, this was a matter of vision and leadership, but for Guan Hai, it was a matter of life and death. The stakes were different depending on one's perspective. What Guan Hai was willing to gamble his life for was something that Liu Bei could decide with just a few words.

Hearing the Demon Lord Yang's words, the two demons' hearts tightened.
To take action for real? But they weren't prepared for that yet.
Demon Lord Yang didn't elaborate further. Instead, he took out three sticks of incense and lit them at the temple in the secret chamber.
He prayed devoutly.
Before long, a golden light appeared in front of the temple, and a young man in a silver-white robe emerged. He exuded a sacred and noble aura, and the edges of his eyes glo...

A sharp flash of golden light sliced through the air, and Feng Xiao’s body suddenly stiffened before collapsing to the ground. His eyes remained wide open, filled with terror.

Of course, they weren’t face-to-face; their positions were reversed, creating a fitting "Victory Pose" for a “Winner of the Battle Royale.”
