Volume 1, Chapter 46: Someone Is Losing Their Patience

Chen Shu was now portrayed as a young expert who was dissatisfied with Huangfu Xu for seizing his position as an imperial guard. Their confrontation would be seen purely as a private grievance, completely unrelated to anything else, let alone involving Ji Zhou and the others.

She suddenly felt a chill in the air around her. Her gaze unintentionally fell upon Qin Luofan nearby, and she shivered involuntarily.

"They were quite severely injured and are still recovering. My injuries were lighter, so I was able to open the door for you," Ning Qing replied without turning his head. It seemed he was busy preparing something at the moment.

If he refused to believe it, he could make whatever fuss he wanted with Zhang Bailing; she would not get involved in the war between father and son.

Desires that had slumbered for many years were repeatedly awakened in her presence. Just a moment ago, he had actually felt an impulse to pin her beneath him.

Yu Cheng's wife wore a look of utter bewilderment. From what she had just witnessed, only Lü Zhe and Yu Cheng were inside the grand hall. Although they were speaking, the space they were addressing was entirely empty, containing nothing but air. Could they have lost their minds?

"You—the person you like is General Sun, who saved your life?" Mo Alian voiced her inner guess.

The composition of the black fog was unknown to Yiji, but it was presumably nothing good, and Yiji certainly had no desire to inhale such a substance right now...

I exchanged a few casual words with Xie Caiping, then put the locker key and a set of work clothes into a bag and set it aside before heading to the finance office to settle my accounts.

Upon hearing this, Wulunzhu found strength from unknown sources; she broke free from his embrace, dashed over to Imperial Physician Meng, snatched the medicine from his hands, and swallowed it whole.

Ji Xin breathed a long sigh of relief. He had always harbored a lingering worry that an immortal as formidable as Chen Yang might restrict their freedom, but to his surprise, Chen Yang proved to be exceptionally reasonable.

Liu Feng felt it was best to first exert pressure through the World Federation, and if that failed, resort to force to resolve the matter.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Later Jin (Qing) forces breached the Shanhai Pass, and Kong Youde accompanied Dodo to suppress the anti-Qing movement in Jiangnan. Later appointed as the Prince-Pacifying Southern General, he was ordered to attack Guangxi and captured Guilin in the fourth year of Yongli. During this battle, Prince Jingjiang Zhu Hengyin, Grand Secretary and Imperial Commissioner Qu Shisi, and Governor of Guangxi Zhang Tongchang were all executed by Kong Youde after the battle because they refused to surrender.

A single bomb with a five-hundred-pound equivalent blew the entire dock into the air, leaving the harbor engulfed in a sea of flames.

Everyone, including Helian Yu, stared with utter shock at Tishu Zhi, who had only recently made his appearance.

Rising and walking into the outer room, she found that clean robes and washing utensils had long been prepared. She changed into a dark-brown direct-hem gown, rinsed her mouth with willow twigs and green salt, and only then stepped out into the courtyard.

The mere fact that the Heaven-Piercing Spear required at least five Shattering-Heaven Realm inscribed beasts to activate was enough to send chills down one's spine. It was impossible to imagine how terrifying the power of the entity that forged it back then truly was.

Once cinemas were established everywhere, tickets would be sold to the public—this was also a way to enliven the daily lives of the citizens.

Seeing this, Liao Yiran picked up his firelock. The cold gleam of the socket bayonet, already fitted to the muzzle of the firearm, pointed directly at the Manchu cavalryman who was turning his horse around. He immediately assumed the standard military starting posture for infantry countering cavalry with a bayonet.

That was the remote-viewing equipment located on Diamond Island on the far side of "Planet K," broadcasting real-time footage.

Startled, she failed to withdraw her gaze in time. Instead, her hand supporting her chin slipped, and with a loud *thud*, her head crashed heavily onto the table, presenting a rather disheveled sight.

After walking for a short while, they reached their previously designated spot. By then, the maidservants had already arranged everything needed for the picnic, simply waiting for the two of them to arrive.

"What is the matter?" he asked with a heartache-filled voice. "Did I hurt you?" He raised a hand to gently stroke her red lips, which indeed seemed slightly swollen.

One had to know that, according to the intelligence gathered, Eldest Miss Lin still had ten other maidservants by her side, and it remained unknown what kind of martial prowess those ten possessed.

"Our Rui'er is so handsome; how could anyone possibly be afraid of you?" Mrs. Xing felt even more distressed by her son's words. Suppressing the tears welling up in her eyes, she said gently.

Noticing his bewildered and lost reaction, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the deliberately probing remarks he had just made had taken effect.

As Chen Jie spoke, her eyes drifted to the clock on the wall, carrying an expression I could not quite comprehend.

They weighed recruitment tickets carefully before entering, as recruitment could not entirely guarantee their personal safety.

He also caught sight of Zhang Yuan. His head whipped around instantly, a pair of grayish-brown eyes matching the color of his hair staring fiercely at Zhang Yuan. His gaze was sharp and ruthless, resembling a starving wolf that had gone without food for over a ten-day period.

"If you refuse to hand the person over today, we will come every single day until you do," Chu Xiangtian threatened Song Rufeng.

He had no desire for anyone to challenge him, so he simply revoked their qualifications, freeing everyone tainted by the evil god power of Agmilas from the peril of an evil god's descent. With just a casual choice, he completely wiped out all of Agmilas's painstaking efforts.

"Reporting to the Young Master, there is a teleportation barrier one kilometer away from here that can transport us directly there."

Having led the farm guards and tenant farmers through great difficulty to beat back a wave of locust birds, he had thought they could finally have a couple of days of peace to notify the clan's cultivators to come and protect the fields.

To think there could be such a cruel person in this world who trampled upon human lives for the sake of personal desires, destroying entire families.

Chen Qiuyan was a few years older than Chen Yang. Upon seeing her, Chen Yang greeted her respectfully.

Temple Robin, however, was witnessing this for the first time. Cold sweat suddenly broke out all over his body, and he had a lingering sense that he had inadvertently strayed into the lair of an evil god, leading the young people of Aegin Island into grave danger.

Having received this promise, Mu Niuhuang felt a wave of relief wash over her, but soon she began to fret over how and where to find the medicinal ingredients. According to the system's estimation, she had less than half a month at most to find the herbs and refine the medicinal pills.

This was because the truth behind the death of her master, the Exalted One Chiyang, remained uninvestigated to this day. Even if she wanted to harbor hatred, she had no specific target for it, leaving her heart perpetually hollow.

Naturally, the mineral veins Mu Niuhuang plundered were not limited to spirit stones alone; there were also demon spirit stones, with the two types accounting for half each.
