Extra Chapter 12: Now? Is that all right?

"Shangguan Wanyin? Why have you provoked her again?" At the thought of this wilful and notoriously headstrong girl who clung to him relentlessly every time they met, Jun Yuchen felt a sudden, sharp headache.

Enduring the pain, he changed into his clothes, tucked the doctor into the bedding, covered them up, and then walked out of the ward, still suppressing his agony.

Having relaxed for the entire afternoon and enjoyed a wonderful sleep, Bai Xiang, unaware that the Emperor had spent the whole night in meetings, was brimming with fighting spirit the next morning.

"I understand now. Tier 4 spirit beasts can condense a spirit core, and the spirit core can assist in shapeshifting. In other words, spirit essence can nourish the body."

The Golden Saint Clan had already separated from humanity; after all, following the ancient wars, they had been truly persecuted to the brink of ruin. Otherwise, they would never have relocated their entire clan to the Demon Realm, effectively becoming a part of the demon race.

Imperial Concubine Shen seemed to have finally found a breakthrough point. She sneered, the corners of her mouth curling into a smile, convinced that this time, her strike would be fatal.

Upon hearing the faint sound emitted by Li Yiming, the Gale Lion and the Flame Python rushed over immediately, reaching his side in less than two seconds.

When the palace attendants arrived at the Prince of War's mansion, several people were already seated in the main hall. These were prominent and wealthy figures from the capital, some of whom were not even from Santan.

"It's not certain yet. You see how the head nurse is always finding faults with me for no reason? If it weren't for you today, I might have been kicked out already, all because I didn't give her anything," Wang Linlin said.

Yun Luozhu stayed by Lu Yi's side. Tang Yufei had already left the room, and since Tian Diewu was also injured, he went to check on her.

Watching the flower bud, Sai Huatuo felt his heart pounding uncontrollably. It even made his mouth go dry, forcing him to swallow hard several times.

Hearing Ye Zhifeng bring up this matter once again, Jiang Ling and Ye Wuchen could only respond with bitter smiles.

"Is there anything else, Young Master Leng?" Cheng Feifan turned around with a half-smile and asked.

At some unknown moment, Wu Yun had already snuck over to the school bus not far away and signaled the driver to bring it over.

"Shadow Arts? So that's what it's called. Master is truly kind; he actually agreed to my request." Zhu Yan'er felt a secret thrill of joy.

Qian Laiye was their ultimate combat strength, a pillar of stability like a needle calming the sea. His death was a catastrophic loss for both the Qian family and the Green Sword Sect.

Walking through the campus, observing the colorful scenery all around, and feeling the autumn breeze brush against every inch of skin was truly a pleasant indulgence.

Tang Ning'an's throat felt parched, and she couldn't utter a single sound. She could only stare blankly at Leng Haoxuan—the face that frequently appeared in her dreams and haunted her thoughts. Her eyes were filled with a tenderness she couldn't even perceive herself.

Upon hearing his apology, the expression on her face remained unchanged, still terrifyingly stern. She simply glared at him. He felt utterly helpless, having no idea how to deal with Xiao Yan.

Yao Xin had only heard of shadow puppetry before and had never witnessed it in person. After watching a performance, she loved it immensely. Sometimes, upon returning home, she would still be captivated by it, imitating the characters' singing styles and performing impromptu acts.

"Just go ahead and do it; we support you. In the end, it's only five hundred yuan, split among so many households. How expensive could it be? It's just being overly sensitive," someone said indignantly.

The old eunuch who had led their party into the capital had explained that the records merely documented the wrongdoings of the disgraced officials, though he hadn't specified exactly what they had done.

Catherine's smile remained unchanged. Clearly, many people had asked her such questions, but she was no longer willing to offer explanations.

Moreover, Li Yanhong usually took good care of him, and as they were both sent-down youth from the same batch, Shen Zhi'an figured that giving her a fish was nothing worth mentioning.

"The Shogun said she would end the war. Will she go directly to Watatsumi Island and wipe out everyone there?" Paimon asked, filled with concern.

Shang Jue felt his eyelid twitching constantly, unaware that he had already been targeted.

Recently, they had set their sights on the office building, frequently launching sporadic sieges. If not for the many residents living inside and the fact that one of the tenants on the 38th floor possessed firearms, the place would likely have already fallen into their hands.

Bai Ling's phone, resting on the table, vibrated. Seeing an unknown number, she frowned slightly and answered.

Shen Zhi'an looked Time Yu up and down, then grabbed him and, with a swift shoulder throw, sent him sprawling to the ground.

Seeing that everything was settled, I was just about to turn back to mock Song Chunzhi, but that guy seemed to sense that the situation had turned against him and had snuck away once again.

Just as Xue Yang was fighting her, a sudden intuition struck her: she felt as if she were doing something intimate with him.

Fan Liang, standing below the stage, was shocked—not because Wuchen was present at the banquet, but because the person who had revealed his identity was the very man who had traveled alongside him.

Hearing this, Bo Ziyu’s soot-covered face darkened even further as he scrambled up from the ground.

"Good." The Daoist didn't waste time. Knowing that Li Weidong needed rest, he made a quick phone call and hung up.

"What kind of 'hidden difficulties' could you possibly have? What, did your father die, your mother remarry, your uncle neglect you, or your grandmother stop loving you?" Niu Suqin's tone was exceptionally harsh and unrelenting.

But now, Lu Yu'an was clearly powerful enough to protect not only himself but his mother as well, yet his mother had turned to the dark side.

Big Bird refused, so Water Brother tied up both him and his sister. Then, in front of Big Bird, he and his men abused his sister for an entire night, even taking photos and videos. In the end, they drove her to such deep depression that she jumped into the river and took her own life.

While furious, he also felt regret. Why hadn't he pinned her to the bed earlier? If he had, she wouldn't have resisted and might have even cooperated with him.
