Kishiar had once said that it took around five years to determine that the vessel had reached its limits after sustaining damage. Emperor Keilusa had predicted a shorter time, and although he had eventually collapsed, it wasn't the end of everything.
Kishiar tilted his head, staring into a pair of deep, dark eyes that looked straight ahead.
"Is something on your mind?"
"It's difficult to say for sure at the moment. However, if there's still...

Chapter 451 The New General
Removed from the tent? Whom was Miss Xu referring to? Lin Wanrong looked around and noticed that everyone's gaze had settled on him. Their eyes held various emotions: some sympathetic, others taking pleasure in his misfortune. A young general in his thirties looked at him, wearing a faint smile but saying nothing.
"Uh, Miss Xu, you're not talking about me, are you?" Lin Wanrong chuckled, acting as though it didn't concern him.

Chapter 450 Please Remove This Man From The Tent
Second Miss was innocent and lively, acting on a whim. She took her mother's jade-like hand and placed it in Lin San's palm, startling the Madam.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little imp?" Madam Xiao shook her head with a light laugh, her face flushing. She subtly pulled back her hand. "When Yuruo returns, we'll make up for the formalities. Why would we need a substitute? Don't you agree, Lin San?"

"If that's the case, Madam, please rest well. I'll come to visit you again tomorrow," Lin Wanrong said gravely, his voice strong. Madam Xiao merely hummed softly in response, saying nothing more.
Seeing her mother silent, Second Miss pulled him towards the opposite room. Pushing the door open, they found the room exactly as it had been the day he was kidnapped, spotlessly clean.
Lin Wanrong sank into a chair, his thoughts drifting to ...

“Does His Majesty the Emperor… speak?”
“Yes. It seems he suddenly collapsed due to a chronic illness and only opened his eyes after half a day.”
A complex emotion flickered in Yuder's eyes. The feeling was that the time had come, as only a few months were left until Emperor Keilusa's departure from the world in his previous life, due to the worsening of his chronic illness.
But on the other hand, he was not pleased. Even Gakane wh...

"The fact that his condition has worsened due to using his ability many times in a short time to fight Nathan Zuckerman alone must have also contributed to his long fainting."
After examining Hosanna with Lusan and Enon, Yuder determined that it seemed Hosanna would have difficulty using his abilities properly for some time. Teleportation ability was notoriously tricky to use compared to others, and it was a natural consequence since he had recklessly ...

At that time, in the main residence of Duke Tain in the capital.
Normally, by this hour, the Duke of Tain would have already departed for the gambling den. However, he had not yet left his study. He paced around with an irritated expression, attempting to calm himself by sitting down and sipping tea, but his gaze never stopped wandering restlessly about the room.
There was only one reason for his anxiety: he had not received any word from the Wes...

The night was deep and the streets were deserted. Not a soul could be seen. The clip-clop of horse hooves resonated in the air, mingled with the sounds of clashing swords and spears. Hu Bugui and his men were escorting General Lin and the ladies back to their residence.
Noticing Lin Wanrong's low spirits, Miss Xiao was at a loss. She took his hand and softly said, "Don't worry. As long as I'm here, I'll take good care of...

Lin Wanrong had already determined the next steps. He chose a large, solid boulder to anchor the iron chain. Two custom-made chairs were hung from it. After testing the solidity himself and finding the chain held taut, he finally relaxed. As he turned his head, he saw her—her gaze deep, her expression a shifting blend of happiness and sorrow—as she stared at the thick iron chain that spanned between the two peaks.

"Aiming the cannons at us? Is something amiss?" Lin Wanrong took out his telescope and scanned the area. These few cannons were huge in size, with long and thick barrels, clearly of a modified design, not to be underestimated. He put down the telescope and grasped Fairy Ning's small hand, "Sister, promise me one thing. No matter what happens, you must not leave me."

“You look quite weary. Would you like some wine?”
Baron Willhem eyed the glass that Kishiar offered and shook his head. His throat was parched, but it was more important to glean more information about the situation.

“I should be the one asking. Why were you here last night with the intruders when you should have been at the charity party?”

In addition to the guests, this list, which included the names of those who had actually prepared the auction and related parties, would become the best evidence to prove and cor...

It was a rare peaceful night. Holding Ning Yuxi's delicate and boneless body close to him, Lin Wanrong felt exceptionally calm and, unknowingly, drifted into sleep. When he woke early the next morning, Fairy Ning's figure was nowhere to be found. The room was immaculate, a faint fragrance wafting through the air, inducing a sense of tranquility.

The knight approached in the blink of an eye and swung his sword, but this time, Hosanna did not move along with Nahan. The lanky young man from the south quickly leaped over the knight's back and then ran with a limp. At the same time, without hesitation, Nahan threw himself towards the sword. The knight attempted to withdraw his sword, but it was too late to fend off the relentless opponent.

The eastern horizon was barely tinged with a fish-belly white, and looking into the distant sky, all was still shrouded in darkness. No sign of dawn was in sight. The mountain wind howled, and bursts of bone-chilling gusts made faces ache with cold.
Xiao Qingxuan stood on the edge of the cliff, her face pallid, her eyes filled with a subtle melancholy. The mountain wind rustled through her flowing hair and long gown, making her see...
