Distrust of the royal family ran deep among the people, a sentiment so profound that they would sooner believe in the existence of ghosts than the words that emanated from the lips of royalty. It was a wisdom etched into the collective consciousness. With an amiable smile, the king, Chen Xuan-Tian, addressed the crowd, acknowledging the potential restraint his presence might impose. "Fine. With my presence, you will very likely feel restrained. Fine. I will leave after several drinks. I don't want to be…

The once dignified generals, who had appeared composed just moments ago, now found themselves in a different state altogether. They shed their decorum, unbuttoning their collars and discarding their shirts, revealing sweat-slicked, muscular torsos. Their voices boomed with a mixture of alcohol-induced bravado and camaraderie, their necks flushed with excitement. Politeness had given way to unabashed vulgarity. Profanities flowed freely from their mouths, subjecting their ancestors and parents to a…

Zuo Wu-Ji pursed his lips and exited the main hall, a tinge of embarrassment coloring his expression. He was keenly aware of his need to be submissive in this situation. He understood that these men were all on the brink of heading into war, and any interference or provocation from him could easily result in a beating or worse. In the midst of their battle preparations, they had little tolerance for his status as the young lord of the House of the Minister. Normally, they might show him some respect due…

In front of the resplendent Palace of Hua-Yang, a profound sense of ceremony enveloped the atmosphere. Sixteen esteemed generals, who also served as greeters, stood in perfect formation. In a synchronized display of reverence, they saluted and raised their voices in unison, expressing their gratitude. "Thank you, General Cha Nan-Tian! Thank you, members of the Northern Army! Thank you, brothers! Please, come inside!" they chorused, their voices resonating through the air. Approaching from the other…

Cha-Eun Xiao had hastily donned an unassuming cotton robe, attempting to blend into the bustling cityscape. As he reached the city gate, he employed his martial skills to rid himself of the lingering traces of blood and the accompanying stains that clung to his body. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief, relieved to have cleansed himself of the grim reminders of his recent battles. Near the gate, he couldn't help but notice a gathering of young women, their presence marked by the sweet fragrance of…

It was an event of historical significance, and everyone was eager to witness this extraordinary wonder with their own eyes. Those who arrived early would have the best chance to take in the breathtaking spectacle, and no one wanted to miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The egg, enigmatic and inexplicable, remained nothing more than an egg, incapable of responding to Cha-Eun Xiao's queries. Yet, despite the impossibility of receiving an answer, he couldn't help but voice his bewilderment. "You're just an egg," he mused aloud, his tone filled with perplexity. "How can you possess such incredible hardness? What secrets lie within you?" He stared at the egg, clearly baffled by its extraordinary properties. Its surface bore strange patterns that glimmered as if to taunt…

Cha-Eun Xiao's countenance remained impassive as he responded to Gu Jin-Long's bewildered inquiries. His voice held a touch of derision as he explained, "Heh, heh. I don't require a compelling reason to end your existence, Gu Jin-Long. Your current state is that of a disembodied soul, forever severed from your physical vessel. You won't be returning to the Qing-Yun Realm in this form. Your only recourse is to seek out a recently deceased body, one that has been lifeless for no more than four hours, in…

Within the confines of the icy cave, Gu Jin-Long's mind churned with a tumultuous mix of anger and bewilderment. He grappled with the shocking betrayal of Cha-Eun Xiao, an alliance forged in earnest to foster mutual growth and strength. Gu Jin-Long had pledged his unwavering support, harboring grand ambitions of elevating Cha-Eun Xiao to the role of dominator within their world. His sincerity had been unquestionable, and he firmly believed that his presence would only prove advantageous to his once-ally.…

In the midst of their intense confrontation, Cha-Eun Xiao couldn't help but feel a flicker of hope. It was a hope that perhaps his cunning plan had worked, that maybe, just maybe, Gu Jin-Long had been dealt a decisive blow. The atmosphere was thick with tension as both men struggled with their inner demons. Gu Jin-Long's eyelid bore a mark of blood, evidence of the close encounter with the Demonic Needle. It had threatened to pierce his eyeball, an organ so fragile that it felt like a rubber ball being…
