Chapter 555 The Potent Elixir
Lin Wanrong jumped down from the carriage, his forehead drenched in sweat. His entire body was soaked through. There's truth to the saying that appearances can be deceiving. This girl's cunning and shrewdness were unparalleled. Not only among the Turkic people but even within the entire realm of Great Hua, there were only a few who could match her wits—especially considering she was still but a young Turkic maiden. If allowed to grow, who...

Gao Qiu and Hu Bugui felt their spirits grow heavy as they listened. Helan Mountain was the emotional anchor for the five thousand soldiers—it held their hopes and dreams. Should Helan Mountain fall, these five thousand men deep in the grasslands would be like drifting duckweed, left with nothing to cling to.
Old Gao hummed in agreement. "Miss Xu is intelligent and wise; she must have received your message by now. Perhaps she is alre...

"Ah, hhhhh…!"
"Ah, hhhhh…!"
The climax was long and intense. It hadn't been that long since Kishiar and he last intertwined, yet the sensations he felt were as strangely refreshing as a long-awaited liberation.
Leaning his trembling body against Kishiar due to the aftershocks of pleasure, Yuder resumed his halted breathing. Despite having released what needed to be released, his mind still felt hot and foggy.
Was it because the en...

As if to confirm that his words were no lie, a sudden chilly fragrance wafted up and mingled with the scent that Yuder was about to capture. Although intangible, it insinuated itself unabashedly. Naturally, it was the scent released by Kishiar.
Yuder felt a sensation as if invisible fingers were tickling his very core. He suppressed a voice that almost involuntarily escaped his lips.
No matter how much he bit the inside of his lips and tried to r...

In the past, Yuder had heard that the power to manipulate time simply did not exist in this world. However, the living proof that such a thing might be possible was Yuder Aile himself. As incredible as it seemed, he had no choice but to acknowledge its potential.

"What do you mean, 'Actor'?" The Turkic girl glanced at him, her expression a mix of shyness and confusion. "I don't understand what you're saying!"
Lin Wanrong shook his head at a leisurely pace, a small smile gracing his lips. "A good actor needs to not only distinguish between different scenes and moments but also control their gaze. When you are expressing your love for someone, your eyes must be filled with deep emotion and...

Chapter 552 The Inept Actor
The sudden turn of events took everyone from the Turkic tribes by surprise. No one could have anticipated that Soranki, the brave warrior from the Ejina Tribe, would fall off his horse and succumb to a fatal blow from a Great Hua soldier, especially when he had seemingly been in a dominating position. The scene was indescribable, eerie even. Three thousand Turkic tribesmen stood in stunned silence, not a whisper among them.
In contrast,...

As night fell, the sky turned into a massive curtain of darkness, so opaque that one could hardly see their hand in front of their face. The vast plains were shrouded in gloom.
The tranquil night was shattered by the hurried and crisp sound of hooves. In the hazy distance, dozens of dark figures rapidly approached, their warhorses slicing through the night like arrows, a rush of unbridled energy in their wake. Only when they drew closer did it...

‘Ah… Research continued even after this point.’
Yuder quickly flipped through the pages, skimming their contents.
The author had presented his research anonymously and seemed to have attempted various magic experiments. However, the tales woven from archaic jargon and complex magical terminology didn't particularly interest Yuder. Even if something important was hidden among those lines, he believed that Enon would probably be better at dis...

Not long after leaving the room, Kanna sent Gayle and Doyle away and joined Yuder.
They strolled down the corridor, engaged in conversation.
"From what I've observed so far, Hosanna is fundamentally a quiet and quite decent person. However, he's someone who would do anything for Nahan," Kanna said.
"Just as Gayle and Doyle described him," Yuder agreed.
"Exactly."

The young woman, defiant with integrity, stared intently at him. "Do you genuinely not remember what happened last night? I woke up this morning on your bed. What did you do to me?"

As soon as she handed him the small note, a sharp glint flashed across Kishiar's eyes.

The Empress's unease quickly dissipated, thanks to Kishiar's words, which somehow seemed even more awkward than when he had strolled barefoot around Tainu's...

The flickering torches occasionally emitted a soft crackling noise, drawing the attention of everyone present to the small copper coin at the center.

Even the Great Hua cavalrymen, holding the torches aloft, couldn't help but hold their breaths, their gaze fixed intently on the gently rolling coin.
Finally, the copper coin fel...

Based on the markings on Xu Zhiqing's map, the nearest tribe of nomads was named Dalanzha. In the Turkic language, Dalanzha meant "Pearl of the Grasslands."

Unfortunately, Miss Xu's map only provided a rudimentary layout of the tribes' locations on the Alxa Plateau, with...
