"Why are you the one to make that judgment?"

Interrupting mid-sentence, the gaze of Crown Prince Katchian appeared serenely calm on the surface, yet held a chilly depth.

"Did I ever say you could?"

"N-no, Your Highness."

"I've known all along that you listen more to Duke Diarca's words than mine. But I didn't realize you were foolish enough to think your opinion superior to your master's."

Listening to the Crown Prince's low, mu...

Chapter 181 Madam's Conspiracy

‘It's happening, it's happening,’ Lin Wanrong thought to himself, ‘Isn't this obviously a temptation? Asking me about my opinion of the Second Miss, is she planning to matchmake me with her? But for the mother-in-law to personally play matchmaker, that's not according to the custom, it sounds inappropriate.’

Feigning sincerity, Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "The Second Miss? Everyone has always found her to be delightful, li...

Fourth Uncle argued persuasively, "Niece Yuruo, Tao Yu, the Tao family's patriarch, is the Chief Weaving Officer in Suzhou, in charge of all textile affairs in Jiangsu Province. Our Xiao family has operated textile shops for years, and our relationship with the Weaving Officer of Suzhou is of great significance, allowing us to coexist peacefully all these years. Our business still relies heavily on Tao Family's favor; how could we possibly g...

Was this really his dwelling? How had it transformed so drastically in just a few days of his absence? Lin Wanrong took a stroll around the room, only to spot several thread-bound books on the table. Picking one up, he found them to be copies of the Diamond Sutra.

A faint smile touched his lips. Who else but the Second Miss could have been reciting sutras in this Xiao mansion? Without question, she must have sneaked in to tidy up his r...

The majority of the partygoers, most of whom were ordinary people, were busy laughing and chattering, seemingly oblivious to this peculiar situation. However, only those who had manifested their second gender were unable to breathe properly, feeling the massive energy that Kishiar exuded throughout their bodies.

How could such a strong presence emanate from one person? They thought they had grown somewhat accustomed to the intense energy that Kishiar c...

Yuder had never regarded minor pain as actual suffering, but this sensation was entirely different. Despite his mind casually dismissing it, his instincts were helpless and terrified in the face of the impending upheaval. Who could possibly comprehend this horrifying sensation?

Being an Awakener did not necessarily mean one would undergo second gender manifestation. Furthermore, those who did experience the second gender manifestation didn't all manife...

Passing the frozen figure of Kiolle, he stumbled upward. The corner of the hallway where he had rendered unconscious the servants of Katchian before descending was now empty. Fortunately, it seemed unlikely that he would have to throw the button again.

With each step, a dizzying pain surged up from his toes, as if they were burning. But compared to the urgency to reach a safe place as quickly as possible, it was nothing. Urging his consciousness, which...

Gao Qiu said, "Young Master Lin, the method I employed is a unique one, deeply insidious and malevolent. It targets and damages his meridians. This Tao fellow won't notice for a month, and then the symptoms will gradually start to appear. He will have no idea what's happening to him. Even if a great deity descended to help him, he would still be left impotent. This technique is highly despised ...

"Lin San, you dare?" exclaimed Tao Wanying in a mix of shock and anger. Despite her defiance, she couldn't help but step back in haste.

Ever since she was humiliated by Lin San in the heart of Jinling City, she had developed a certain sense of fear for Lin Wanrong. On top of that, it was this same Lin San who had caused her brother to lose his shop and his dignity at the Sunshine and Rain...

Lin Wanrong walked over with a smile, saying, "Everyone's here, eh? Why didn't you follow the Eldest Miss back to Jinling?"

Xiao Feng responded, "Brother San, it was the Eldest Miss' instruction to stay and wait for you."

Lin Wanrong felt a little relieved. The girl still had some conscience, not only did she leave the others to wait for him, but she also left her carriage for him to use.

Comforted, he considered him...

Most often, the poison was applied as a powder or a liquid, for it needed to be absorbed through the skin. At room or lower temperatures, the poison smeared on the body was invisible, but under a hot fire, it melted and emitted a special, momentary sparkle.

Yuder conjured a small flame in his hand. With a whooshing sound, a red flame appeared, and his right hand stung again.

The fact that someone had stopped upon hearing the faint sound of a button brushing the wind made the job much easier. There could be nothing simpler than hitting a stationary target.

As the button, carried by the wind, released its concentrated force, it zigzagged across the foreheads of four men, each of whom promptly collapsed. Yuder grasped the button that had returned to his hand on the...

To enter the party, one had to have their identification checked - a precautionary procedure. There were countless people Yuder might have bumped into during the party. Or, perhaps, something was planted in the carriage he had arrived in. Mulling over the potential factors, Yuder glared at the distant face of Prince Katchian, who was laughing away.

"By the way, Mr. Xu, what do you plan to do with those rebels from the White Lotus cult?" Lin Wanrong suddenly asked with keen interest.

"Question the bandit leaders, show them no mercy." Xu Wei responded concisely.

"I do know who leads them, a man named Lu Zhongping, right? I was a 'guest' of the White Lotus cult in the past, and I have deep feelings toward him," Lin Wanrong laughed. After all, how could there not be deep aff...

Embracing a naked beauty in his arms, yet only allowed to look and not taste, was indeed a form of excruciating torment for a man. Holding the soft, delicate body of Qin Xian'er, Lin Wanrong was overwhelmed with a sense of helplessness. Thinking about the Lovebug in her body, aside from taking small liberties, he could only resign himself to being a good man.

‘For the sake of future happiness, I accept it,’ Lin Wanrong thought indignantl...

"Ever since my mother's tragic death, I've harbored deep resentment for those who betray love and trust. I once made a vow that whoever I would find as my husband could only love me and me alone. I yearned for his undivided attention, a devotion that would last a lifetime, never to abandon me." Qin Xian'er glanced at him, her words coming out softly.

So that was it. This young maiden was undoubtedly marked by the horrific ...

"Don't you think everything happened too conveniently? The arrival and demise of Lenore Shand Apeto,"

"Are those the only events you think occurred at the right time? Such thoughts can be well reflected upon in the afterlife."

At Yuder's subtly bristling response, Kishiar turned his head. A different emotion briefly flickered across his red eyes.

"I see. Were you worried by any chance?"

He screamed in a kind of agony he had never experienced in his life, but no sound came out. His stomach, throat, and head all felt as if they were being consumed by fire. His vision was shrouded in darkness. No sounds reached him. He scratched at the ground and writhed, but the horrific pain did not subside in the slightest.

His desperately outstretched hand grabbed onto someone's hem. However, before he could finis...

A moment later, the carriage halted. The front of Deluma Palace, the largest building inside the city's second wall, was a constant flow of arriving and departing carriages, almost forming a mountain. The special award ceremony party, held to appreciate all those who had worked throughout the year, always had a participation of at least 500 people. But this year, the entire Cavalry was invited, making the crowd even more overwhelming.

Qin Xian'er had already wholeheartedly given herself to him, with no defenses up. Even though she was an excellent martial artist, her unguarded state allowed him to catch her off guard.

The waves of masculine scent that wafted from his body left Xian'er feeble and breathless, her delicate body trembling slightly. Her eyes brimmed with unshed tears, and her soft, supple lips were claimed without resistance.

Her lips were as sweet ...

Longhong Village was an extremely serene hamlet, with several dozen households scattered in different locations. The most secluded corner, nestled against the hill, was the home of Qin Xian'er - a small, quaint wooden house. The beams of the house were sturdy, and on the front of the roof, hung thin bamboo tubes of varying lengths. Small pieces of copper and iron clung to the bamboo, and when a breeze blew, they clanged against the tub...

Qin Xian'er had risked her life to save him time and again, with deep affection and profound sincerity.

This was like a spark to dry kindling, igniting immediately.

As the Cavalry carriages sped towards the imperial palace in a long line, another carriage escaped from the quiet, closed-off grounds of the Apeto dukedom.

Upon observing a touch of melancholy in Qin Xian'er's countenance, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but sigh. This Xian'er, when not constantly engaged in fights and skirmishes, was incredibly gentle and endearing. If only she would change her fiery temperament, it would be such a wonderful thing. Yet, he soon pondered, if she did change, would she still be Qin Xian'er? It was quite a contradiction.

It wasn't a lie. The fact that Nahan had indeed disappeared with Hosanna without even attempting to save the two men was undeniable.

The two men stared at each other, their faces reflecting a brief moment of shocked dismay. They seemed at a loss for words, as the response they received was entirely different from what they had anticipated. After a pause, one of the men managed to utter a few words. Unlike before, his tone was hushed and respectful.
