Volume 1, Chapter 50: Su Yuan vs. Yang Zhen
Qi Yang glanced without a trace at his left wrist, then closed his eyes. In no time, he fell into a deep sleep.
"I am sorry, madam. The previous customer bought everything in stock," the shopkeeper said with a pale face and a trembling voice. He had not anticipated business to be so brisk, but as the old saying goes, extremes meet and things reverse when they reach their peak.
She thought of the pear-blossom-cyan double-embroidered light gauze long dress worn by her fourth elder sister. That fabric was so light and soft that it felt almost weightless when worn, making it both beautiful and ethereal.
In fact, Li Hao had long known that all his actions could not escape the notice of Li Shimin, nor did he intend to conceal them. He publicly announced that he had recruited thirty youths as his personal troops, who were currently undergoing training. All of this still sounded quite reasonable.
The burly man stared at Li Hao in utter shock. Li Hao shrugged and said, "Just three steps, we can go in now." With that, he prepared to lead Lin Dingkun and Zhu Ruihuan inside.
As for flower demons, tree demons, mountain spirits, and stone monsters, their numbers were very few. Even if they followed Guangzhen to attack the Central Plains, they would not play a significant role.
Holding himself in high regard due to his status and late-stage Quasi-Sage cultivation, Zulong was unwilling to make the first move, but the Cult Master showed no hesitation, lunging forward toward Zulong like a speeding arrow. Zulong did not hold back either, engaging the Cult Master in direct hand-to-hand combat.
Jiang Hei and Jiang Bai were thoroughly depressed. For no other reason than that General Wulie always liked to talk to them, no matter what they discussed, the topic would inevitably turn to the Fourth Young Master, probing both overtly and covertly about the Fourth Young Master's hobbies and what kind of girls he liked. Who could fail to see through such transparent intentions?
The activities of this day had nothing to do with training; they were geared more toward interacting with the fans.
Lin Yan's physical condition had already deteriorated beyond belief. No one should be able to maintain a surviving life soul when they had suffered such a massive loss of the seven physical souls.
Shao Yitian naturally would not lend out the spirit stones so easily without seeing the rabbit before releasing the hawk. His goal was to use Bai Shengyue to track down the mastermind behind the counterfeiting of his products.
Under the attack of the Geng-metal Qi, Deng Yuxin's hairpin was instantly destroyed, snapping into two halves. Seeing this, Deng Yuxin was so frightened that her eyes went wide. What on earth was going on? Her low-grade Dao artifact had been destroyed just like that.
After identifying the direction, Chiyou led the girls toward the nearest destination—the Raccoon City Water Park. That was the first stop of this trip, where the Ooze Rachel and Hilda were active.
The clamorous battlefield finally fell slowly back into peace. The initial cries of battle and the roar of artillery had completely vanished, leaving only the weeping and wailing of soldiers, while scattered weapons and severed limbs decorated a world of blood and fire. A gentle breeze blew past, carrying a hint of chill, but far more prominent was the thick stench of blood.
"If you don't believe it, you can have him redial that exact phone number and see what the person on the other end says," Yang Zedan said calmly.
However, their suspicious and cautious nature was notoriously well-known. Long after the attacks ceased, no one appeared, save for countless giant bees used for reconnaissance fluttering back and forth in the smoke-filled air.
For now, however, Xiancun set his sights on the boundless ocean, where material resources were incomparably rich. If this proved viable, the number of witch slaves under Xiancun's command would experience a massive leap forward.
"These despicable Ming people! I'll let you hide! At worst, we perish together!" Abatai threatened fiercely.
"Bad guy, are you going back tonight?" Chang'e asked, lying on top of Shao Yitian.
This served as a marvelous advertising effect, drawing a large number of customers into Zhong Tianle's sundry shop. These people would incidentally purchase other items as well, causing the shop's profits to surge abruptly and its daily sales volume to multiply several times over.
Furthermore, any thunderbolts striking into the moat's water pools could generate high-voltage electricity capable of killing a person instantly, a force that even demons and monsters could not evade.
"You guys still exercise far too little. Practice the yoga postures more," Hao Xin's condition was relatively good, seeing as she had already begun practicing the second style of the Sun and Moon Formula.
"We've finally arrived, Lightning, Erxin." Looking at the city gates in the distance with the characters for the Third City inscribed upon them, Hao Xin felt a wave of relief. Although her journey had been relatively free of perilous disasters, she had walked relentlessly for three months and felt she was about to become a wild savage.
Thinking of this, her eyes immediately locked onto the person in charge nearby, her gaze filled with questioning.
The gigantic moon in the sky suddenly emitted wisps of subtle aura, and that aura carried heavy, profound emotions.
When Su Wanchen arrived, the place was already a sea of humanity, bustling and teeming with bobbing heads.
However, Kökö Temür's brilliance was so dazzling that Bayan Temür's military achievements were not only unrecognized by the people in the imperial court, but they even attacked Kökö Temür for favoring his adopted son and fabricating merits to deceive the court.
"No need. Since the Master has given such instructions, just do it that way," the primary wife thought for a moment, ultimately refusing, and instructed the wet nurse to pass the order down.
To Ling Pin's surprise, after yesterday's joint effort by everyone to merge Ling Shiyin and the dragon skeleton into one, the Dragon King's perception of A Luo had changed somewhat. Today, he even ordered A Luo to follow Feng Jinxuan's group to study the combat skills of the dragon race.
"Did you learn all this from watching anime?" Luo Tianyi asked in disbelief, unable to comprehend the world of straight-A students.
"Shouldn't we take this chance to kill them?" Number 27 was waiting for an opportunity to avenge her sister.
The old man laughed heartily, neither confirming nor denying, but merely saying, "What Southern Saber God, Saber God? He died long ago." Though he did not explicitly say it, this single sentence was a clear acknowledgment.
Zhao Zixin felt a secret amusement rise within him, reaching out to embrace the fragrant shoulder of the dark-skinned girl, whispering softly into her ear, "You are my dark little girl, the dark little girl I will love forever." Having said this, he winked and made comical faces at her as she turned her head to look at him.
Yanyu was slightly startled. To present it for the Emperor's perusal—did Xuan Shao mean that he was not allowed to read the contents of this sheepskin parchment roll?
Ever since Zeman was disciplined at the executive meeting in April, the internal atmosphere at Shanna Investment had felt somewhat amiss. An undercurrent of "ousting Zeman," originating from some unknown source, had quietly risen.
Autumn Tender smiled and said, "Then you should sleep. Yun柔 went to the front to ask, His Majesty has matters today, so you don't need to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation." Yet a ripple of uncertainty stirred in her heart—the Emperor had actually flipped the imperial concubine plaques today, and this was the first time since Suyi returned to the palace. It would perhaps be best if Suyi remained unaware of such a matter.
