Chapter 178: The Path to Heavenly Kingship!

Following the fireworks, the program moved on to the final award-presentation segment.

Actually, this segment did not exist in previous seasons of the show; previously, everything would simply conclude right after the final encore performance by the champion.

However, because some high-ranking officials were present at the scene this time, the broadcasting station temporarily decided to add this segment.

Shortly after, the music started playing, and the directors of the Publicity Bureau and the Education Bureau walked onto the stage one after the other, one holding a trophy and the other holding a bouquet of flowers.

Just as he was about to pull away, a burning hot body pressed against his back once again, and an extremely bewitching voice echoed in his ear.

After standing up, Li Zhi first took out a pristine white handkerchief from his breast pocket to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. Then, trembling slightly, he walked backward a few steps, finally stopping at a distance of about three meters from us.

Talos snorted two puffs of white vapor from his nostrils, leaped down from the high hillside, and strode toward He Chen and Ignil. His massive battleaxe rose with his arm, and then slashed down fiercely.

Yu You felt awkward. What kind of person was he? It was hard to say clearly; they were not lovers, and her status as a wife would likely not be guaranteed either.

As the head of a faction, Patriarch Chen could naturally understand that every family and sect had areas where outsiders were not allowed to set foot.

Yu You paused. In truth, she did not know what she ought to do either. Meng Yun had been exceptionally good to her, treating her just like a real older brother, and she simply could not bear to watch him fall into despair on her account.

That memory was one she had never forgotten. Afterward, due to her discharge from the hospital, the two of them lost contact, but before leaving... they had betrothed themselves to each other under the witness of both their parents.

Upon seeing Lin Huan's ranking, Xia Mo was utterly dumbfounded, feeling as though she had been played by a scumbag.

His words voiced the inner thoughts of the remaining few. Seeing someone else step forward to take the lead, the three deep-thinking old foxes kept silent, though it was obvious they shared the same mindset as Xu Wanfeng.

Through the hole punched out by Jess Lehman, He Chen saw Jiraiya on the deck, smiling and waving at him.

Mingjing knelt on one hand and one knee, clutching his chest as blood continuously poured from his mouth, mixed with some shredded fragments—seemingly pieces of his internal organs.

Back then, she ate and lived alongside the disaster victims, and even when someone later exposed the fact that she had once profited from the national crisis, not a single commoner blamed her.

The work was completed around the afternoon. After paying the workers their wages, she went upstairs to take a look, found it quite satisfactory, and happily went back to setting up her stall.

The remaining members of the Qi family kneeling beside him had also recovered quite well. The Qi family village behind them looked completely different from the last time she visited; most of the dilapidated houses had been repaired, and the road at the village entrance had been reorganized, making it much smoother than before.

She calmed down completely, then reignited the cauldron to refine a batch of Marrow-Washing Pills, yielding ten pills in total, all of which were of flawless quality.

Qin Xuezhen looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction, hiding to the side to watch the excitement. Facts proved that she had indeed placed her bet correctly; Shui Linglong had received the most flowers.

At first, she had thought she could rely solely on her own strength to hold off the garrison forces and successfully make her escape.

On this day, after finishing her breakfast, she sat once again beneath the window frame, staring intently at the few wooden tablets on the table in deep thought.

That pressure was already capable of affecting the Nine Mirrors and the Round Boat within Er Tou's body, and even the Candle Dragon Bracelet showed faint signs of trembling.

The car doors opened, and Lu Yuwei, Yan Lei, and Yan Miaomiao stepped out one after another. To everyone's surprise, right behind the three of them, Elder Mu—the highest authority figure in the Xia Kingdom—along with Lin Xin, who had previously served by Yan Lei's side, also stepped down together.

No matter who attacked it, it would only target the one who attacked it last. In other words, Pang Feng and Zi Luoying could take turns attacking it.

Previously, she had always assumed that Li Liang's talk of the "Big Five Leagues" was nothing more than empty boasting, or even wishful thinking.

Meanwhile, the battle on Shui Ruohan's side was also gradually coming to an end, ultimately resulting in him being heavily wounded by Shui Qianlan's volley of a thousand arrows.
