"Outrageous! Simply outrageous!" "What is that Gu acting so arrogant for? He practically insulted us indirectly… Unbelievable!" "Just because he has the Fifth Prince’s token? He’s not even an official, yet he dares to speak so boldly in front of us!" "This is intolerable! That Gu doesn’t know what’s good for him. Minister Ma offered him wine and gold, and instead of accepting it graciously, he had the nerve to mock us!" In a long corridor, the officials who had followed Minister Ma and…-

Dong~ Dong~ Dong! A series of urgent knocks abruptly interrupted the heated atmosphere inside the private room. Everyone turned toward the door as a guard outside announced, "General, someone is requesting to see you. He claims to be acquainted with the Fifth Prince!" At those words, the people inside instinctively exchanged glances. The Great Wu officials, in particular, felt a subconscious sense of unease at the mere mention of the Fifth Prince. General Zhong waved his hand and said, "Let him…

At the very top level of the hunting arena, in the largest of the private booths, a lively banquet was in full swing, with wine cups clinking and conversation flowing. At the center of the booth stood three round tables, laden with an array of exquisite delicacies and fine jade wine jugs. The booth had three walls, each adorned with a grand landscape painting, intricately inlaid with gold threads. In the corner, two elegant attendants draped in sheer veils sat with their lutes, playing one enchanting…

As the old crone's body split in two and fell heavily to the ground, the entire battle arena fell into dead silence. With her death, the countless spiderwebs, having lost their spiritual reinforcement, became frail and weak. Hua Erniang merely waved her hand slightly, and the dense webs snapped apart, falling powerlessly to the ground. Hua Erniang, who had slain the old crone in an instant, landed softly. Her face showed neither joy nor sorrow—an eerily calm demeanor, as if everything had gone exactly…

"This old hag's spiderweb is quite peculiar. When it's first released, it's light and easy to cut, but once fully formed, it's as tough as iron and nearly impossible to sever." As soon as Gu Ning'an finished speaking, Doubao responded, "That's exactly why she's so troublesome. Look at how much ground she has already taken—next, she'll definitely start encroaching on Innkeeper Hua and the others' remaining space bit by bit." "The longer this drags on, the worse it will be for Innkeeper Hua and the…

As Doubao’s doubtful voice echoed beside him, Gu Ning’an chuckled and said, “Then I guess that next, the black-clad swordsman will once again give Innkeeper Hua the chance to spin the roulette.” “And when Innkeeper Hua spins again, the result will undoubtedly be the same.” Hearing this, Doubao curiously asked, “Sir, is their luck really that bad?” Doubao believed the first part of Gu Ning’an’s prediction—after all, that black-clad swordsman clearly had the look of a hopeless…

Faced with Ying Xiang’s suspenseful tease, the entire audience erupted in a synchronized chant. "Hua Erniang!" Her name resounded through the air like thunder. Sure enough, as the crowd’s voices died down, the heavy rumble of a stone gate opening echoed across the arena. Emerging from the dust and smoke was Innkeeper Hua, clad in a deep red long dress. Walking alongside her was a black-clad swordsman with a strikingly handsome face. Unlike Hua Erniang, the black-clad swordsman’s reputation in…

The winged host, whose true form was that of an eagle, finished explaining the basic rules of watching the hunt. Then, he transformed into a giant eagle and circled above the audience seats. This was a kind of "opening act", meant to stir up the crowd’s excitement. After returning to his human form, the host introduced himself: "Those familiar with me already know my name is Ying Xiang, but I just took a look around and saw quite a few new faces. So, I’ll say it again." "My name is Ying…

Innkeeper Hua had never had much aversion to Gu Ning'an, this scholar from the mortal world. After all, he gave off the impression of an honest and refined gentleman. But ever since they met, everything he said had been increasingly unbelievable. Visiting the Void Emperor? That, at least, could be interpreted as seeking a blessing or a stroke of fortune. But his next two warnings made Innkeeper Hua feel that this man had a penchant for “speaking in riddles.” If the first warning could be…

Gu Ning'an and the black-clad swordsman locked eyes for a moment. After exchanging polite smiles, they each looked away. Not far away, Huang Erniang walked over to the counter, picked up a teapot, and grabbed two teacups before heading to a table beside the black-clad swordsman. "Who's annoyed with you... I'm already frustrated enough, so don't provoke me." As she spoke, Huang Erniang poured two cups of tea and casually picked up one to drink. Seeing this, the black-clad swordsman set his longsword on…
