The group gathered at the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion before heading to Yongle Town. Fearing that these imperial relatives might get hurt, the emperor had specifically instructed Pei Yuan and two Void Aperture cultivators to accompany them.Xue Chen followed behind Ning Shengsheng's carriage procession. Compared to the others' tense, battle-ready postures, she appeared quite relaxed, nibbling on pastries and occasionally poking her head out of the carriage to admire the scenery. This was the confidence that…-

As Xue Chen returned, covered in dust, it was already the hour of Hai."Songgao, send some food to Hostage Prince Xue.""Yes, this servant will go at once."The lights in the west room were lit, and through the window paper, the young man's tall and straight figure could be seen. She vaguely heard Xue Chen's polite words of thanks. He was only seventeen or eighteen, yet he had suffered a sudden turn of events, being bullied and humiliated in a foreign land.

You actually dare to hit me with the ice-crystal whip? Don't you know how powerful it is?"After the pain came a question fueled by shame and anger."I know..."Ning An coiled her whip back around her waist with a calm and unruffled air."You..."A fire of rage burned in Ning Jin's chest. The other girl was so blunt that she was at a loss for words, panting…

"I am..."A flash of red light interrupted Ning Shengsheng's words. The young man before her clutched his forehead in pain and swayed, stubbornly trying to stay on his feet."How could this be..." so...Before he could finish, he collapsed at Ning Shengsheng's feet with a thud.On his pale face, the mole between his brows flickered faintly. Dark red, thread-like lines extended from it, gradually spreading outwards and finally disappearing at his temples."What's wrong with Xue Chen?"The Health Recovery Pill in…

"Ding, villain's side quest initiated—""!!!"Ning Shengsheng had just fallen asleep when the system started acting up again."...""My good man, even workhorses get to rest. It's the middle of the night, and you want me to carry out a mission?" she covered her face and grumbled, her eyelids too heavy with sleep to open.The system stated flatly: 【Host, I have no choice.

"Hehehe, Your Highness, I am without talent or ability. How could I be worthy of amusing you?"Jiang Feng's smile was uglier than a grimace."Hostage Prince Xue is much better. Your Highness, just look at this young man, as handsome as jade, beautiful and extraordinary. Just having him in the carriage is a pleasure to the eye. A commoner like me..."A dark current swirled in Xue Chen's eyes. The way he looked at Jiang Feng was like looking at a dead man.Ning Shengsheng mentally rolled her eyes. She had no…

The scene was somewhat harmonious.The system seemed to want to speak but hesitated.Ning Shengsheng: 【The original owner saw Xue Chen as something to be possessed. What's wrong with spending a little money on something she fancies?】It seemed... there was nothing wrong with that.For Princess Ning An, throwing money around was the most basic way of showing affection.The system was convinced once again."This princess is leaving. No need to see me out."Ning Shengsheng left with her grand retinue.Only after…

The eunuch was crying so hard that tears and snot streamed down his face. "Your Highness, this slave was wrong, truly wrong!"Ning Shengsheng: "The one you offended was not this princess."Her words stopped there.The eunuch understood immediately. Her Highness is clearly trying to back up Hostage Prince Xue!He wiped his nose and scrambled over, attempting to hug Xue Chen's legs and beg for forgiveness.

"Third Princess, although I am a discarded son of the Heavenly Phoenix Nation, I still entered the palace as a hostage with the status of a prince. Not to mention, your handkerchief was not my doing. Even if it were, it should be your attendant's duty to retrieve it, not mine."Ning Shengsheng nodded silently. Xue Chen was absolutely right. He was here as a hostage prince, not a servant responsible for diving into ponds to fetch things.Evidently, Xue Chen's words failed to persuade the Third Princess."Hmph,…

"Why can't I participate?"Ning Shengsheng deliberately rolled her eyes. "Third Sister, Master Pei already said it's a minor evil spirit.""Even if I don't have an Earth Aperture realm cultivation, I have thousands of magical artifacts and talismans. I could just smash it to death."The others exchanged glances. They had to admit that Princess Ning An did indeed have the resources for that.

There’s a small button that activates player identification, just beneath “Start a Discussion.” It took her a few seconds to find it: a tiny icon, barely noticeable. She tapped it. Ding.

Warning: The following chapter contains scenes involving violence and harm to a minor. Please proceed with care. In the dimly lit alley, a woman stood, hair loose and tangled, falling across an expressionless face. Smudged lipstick blurred her mouth. Nail scratches scored her neck, peeking from beneath the loosened collar of a jacket that barely clung to one shoulder. Her fingers rested lightly, almost possessively, on the shoulder of the boy, who barely reached her chest. Lily studied the boy’s…

Level Complete! Score: 73% Rewards: Lives carried over to the next level: ♥×2 Prize Wheel Spins× 3 The greyed-out moon on Ava’s panel flickered to life. She tapped it, and the prize wheel sprang up, divided into more than a dozen blurred slices, with the number 3 in the center. With a deep breath, she tapped again.

After everyone provided identification, they were separated. Ava waited without protest. While she sat alone, she opened the game panel. Three lives had become two. She clicked the story details. The fragment she just witnessed was added and the score changed. Score: 68%. Her lips curved faintly, with 10 hours left she could sleep through them and pass. If 50% was enough to survive, then 68% had to mean something more. Before she could explore the score guide to know more, the door opened. She was led…
