Chapter 26: The Secret Spice Recipe

Zhao Gou turned a deaf ear to the matter, remaining calm and composed. He revoked the orders for further pursuit and ceased the surveillance of the officials' daily affairs. Those with close personal ties began to interact once more without provoking the Inspectorate. Gradually, everyone realized the incident had passed and there was no longer any cause for concern.

The captain, a commander himself, did not believe he was inferior to this young man, yet there was an irresistible aura about the youth—a sense of killing intent he had felt before, so resolute. The way he looked at Dong Shuqian was also deeply familiar to him.

After picking and choosing until he was dizzy, Wang Ming finally pushed all the hangers together, closed his eyes, and pulled out two at random.

If only Gou Zhu were here, or even Song Ruhai. Mutou never had ideas of his own; he always listened to his two senior brothers. Whatever they decided, he would carry out with unwavering resolve. But this time, there was no one to make the decision for him.

Because the dense demonic energy within Dalin’s body left him without the strength to cry out, nor the confidence to defend himself.

This is a work that encompasses family, love, friendship, and reflections on human nature, life, and death. Its representative character is Kikyo, the previous incarnation of the protagonist, Kagome.

"Li Shishi?" Zhao Gou was utterly shocked. He had not expected such an outcome, though what he said differed from what the old mistress had told him.

After a bout of slaughter, Zhao Gou was drenched in blood. His internal energy was nearly exhausted, and he was gasping for breath. Against ordinary men, he could have resolved the situation with minimal effort. However, the assassins before him were all highly skilled in martial arts and versed in Western Region techniques, making the fight a grueling ordeal for him.

At that time, Emperor Tianzuo of Liao was merely the Crown Prince and had not yet ascended the throne. His father, the Emperor, knew the Prince's temperament was no match for the influence of Xiao Puda. Yet, he did not execute Xiao Puda, choosing instead to demote him to Ruzhou, out of consideration for his family background and lingering concerns.

On the bluestone arena, Mu Qingshuang and Zhan Jiutian were locked in a fierce, white-hot battle.

If the evidence in Welden’s hands were successfully handed over, everything the Lin family had plotted would be finished.

Zhenwu Mountain is the cradle of the world’s Taoist sects, located within the Yuan Prefecture of the Great Zhou Kingdom. It is a sacred place revered by all practitioners of the Dao, and Zhenwu Mountain stands as a titan among the Taoist sects.

He stretched his joints, estimated the ability levels of both individuals in his mind, and then let out a cold sneer.

This was the first time Zhao Guizhi had faced such a situation. Although she had envisioned and rehearsed this scene in her mind long ago, she still felt a bit nervous when it truly happened.

During their two months of dating, Yichen never took the initiative to introduce her to his close friends, always using the excuse of "men-only gatherings" to exclude her from his circle.

Xu Lingyi had a headache over Zhao Yun’s stubbornness. Today, she deliberately acted extremely intimate with the Third Senior Brother in front of him.

"Eh? I think I saw vanilla ice cream. I’ll go grab some." Rice acted as if he hadn't heard her, stood up from the table, and ran off elsewhere to get ice cream.

Then he began to explain to Daphne how to mobilize the magic power within her body and release it.

Song Guiyi sighed, as if she had long anticipated this outcome. When that suspicion first sprouted in Chen Zhao’s heart, such an ending had already been determined.

It was not that there were no disabled star lords in the interstellar realm, but if they had a choice, they were still reluctant to select Ika.

Ning Tian was quite relaxed, traveling with Nixing, Moke, and Zhuo Lanqiu, waiting for news from Cao Shengjie while keeping a close eye on the situation in Falling Star Valley.

"If we don't teach them a lesson now, they will surely become lawless. Even a good man like Prince Qi has been detained; it is simply abominable." Several princes chimed in, filled with righteous indignation and great agitation.

Su Yan pulled the Sovereign inside, and people on both sides sealed the great gates. Immediately after, someone pushed over a large bronze vessel of unknown purpose, along with various heavy objects, to barricade the door from the inside.

Just as Liu Wei finished forging the mace, the Shennong Tree felt its master’s helplessness and despair, and finally gathered the courage to try and establish a mental connection with Liu Wei.

Yun Cangye’s face turned deathly pale. He had never set foot on Bailin Mountain and had never imagined that this mountain could be so terrifying.

Zhang Biao knew he could not continue to provoke things like this. He looked back at his son, Zhang Deshuai, who was curled into a ball.

Holding the Soul-Parting Feather, Ning Tian faced a massive swarm of red-gold insects ahead, resembling a burning cloud of fire, vast and boundless.

Treating others to a meal was everyone’s favorite thing; food provided by others always tasted better. However, they did not go to excess and knew when to stop. Though they were close, they still avoided waste and extravagance.

Take, for instance, this scheme: stealing students' admission tickets at the college entrance exam site to threaten and extort them, a plot that generated over a million in daily profits for the gang.

This was because he discovered that the altar within his sea of consciousness was trembling, as if this tree stump involved the Dao of Souls and had become linked to a sacrificial spirit.

Since becoming pregnant, not only had her appetite increased, but the frequency of her meals had also doubled. Although she knew she would only continue to gain weight, she still couldn't control her restless appetite.

Speaking of this, Qijuesha could not help but feel regret, and even Qing Lian’er could hear it, thinking that whatever Qijuesha had asked for her help with must have involved the great affairs of the world.
