Chapter 44: Delivering Oneself to the Door

The date set by the emperor was fast approaching, leaving not only the Imperial Household Department in utter chaos, but also keeping everyone in the Lu household rushed off their feet. Otherwise, Changyao wouldn't have needed to audit the accounts all over again. She was already busy enough as it was—couldn't Lu Changning just obediently wait in his own courtyard?

Shortly after, he headed to Kichijoji to meet Kudo Kankuro at their familiar cafe.

Clang! A dagger brushed past Qi Bing's hair, flying fiercely through the air, immediately followed by the sound of a shattering vase.

Genin in times of war fell largely into two categories: those who graduated early and those who graduated under special wartime regulations. There was no final bell-grabbing test for them; instead, individuals possessing basic combat capabilities were sent straight to the battlefield, and those who returned alive naturally qualified as genin.

"A-zhi, I've noticed you seem rather cold toward Youyou. Is there something wrong with him?" Ji Jiuer asked.

"Young Master Ji, this is your room." The housekeeper opened the door and made a polite gesture, her attitude seemingly respectful yet tinged with cold indifference and aloofness.

Chiling was truly an exceptional hunter. Even while immersed in her happiness, she could still hear the rustling sounds nearby.

"Cousin, there are servants to wash the dishes!" Taking advantage of Xianxian's blindness, Vera crept over and flashed a middle finger right in front of her.

Only those privy to the inner story knew just what a terrifying genius Sun Bufa truly was.

Yu Chuchu decided to leave. She had left Ancheng when she was three or four years old and returned at seventeen. Now that all her relatives were gone, rather than staying in Ancheng and wallowing in sorrow, she preferred to leave and start a completely new life.

Even though I had received such phone calls and heard such news countless times over the past few years, my brain still felt as though a bomb had been jammed inside and ignited; after a ringing numbness, all reason vanished.

Seeing the voice of the person in his arms fade while his shoulder gradually grew damp, Liu Che felt a strange stirring. For some reason, Ajiao's past bouts of loud crying and tantrums had only ever annoyed him, but her restrained tears at this moment stirred a lingering sense of melancholy deep within his heart.

Qi Anlu ate with great relish, while Ning Jianyan took care of Houhou for the most part, leaving Qi Anlu with nothing to worry about at all.

Of course, despite all his inner grumbling, he still genuinely wished them well. In truth, he also hoped that Huoyun could settle down, but judging by his current appearance, that seemed highly unlikely. Until everything was fully resolved, Huoyun would likely maintain this state.

Mu Chen scanned his surroundings and saw no immediate, major dangers. He then performed a spell, instantly summoning his Profound Yellow Chaos Sword, and quickly dispatched those large spotted tigers. However, just as he hoped to relax for a moment, an overwhelmingly fierce surge of spiritual energy struck his chest.

If His Majesty did not deeply favor and trust Physician Xiao, how could a supreme emperor of celestial dignity condescend to take such a risk and rest within a subject's mansion?

When she woke up, the car had already stopped. Her head was resting on Gu Xidong's shoulder, and the vehicle was empty except for the two of them.

"Since I trust you, shouldn't you pull yourself together now? Whatever has happened, every situation requires a resolution, and you must face the difficulties head-on." Lu Ping'an's eyes held a smile as he encouraged her.

A massive staff-like phantom, dozens of feet long, rapidly condensed in mid-air before crashing down with the immense force of a myriad jun, its spiked mace directly targeting the Thousand-Faced Divine Monarch's crown.

"Third Brother!" The two brothers in black and white among the three Sword brothers were consumed by grief. Drawing their sharp swords, they rushed toward Wudi and hacked away frantically, yet he remained utterly indifferent, continuing to relish the flesh and blood of the man in green as if it were a delicacy.

Without realizing it, Avi and Felicity had wandered into the ruins within the city of the Salins Kingdom. Under Bradley's orders, a massive military camp was being constructed there, featuring a brand-new martial training ground and horse-training arena—all intended to revive the Salins Kingdom as a mighty nation that revered martial prowess.

"That's unwise. If I did that, I wouldn't even know if you ran into any accidents. How much longer until the sacrificial ceremony begins?" Ye Feng asked after rejecting Yijian's proposal.

"I checked long ago and found no errors whatsoever." A trace of confusion crept into its tone.

"I'll pass, I just glanced at it and it seems fine. I never had high demands for these things anyway." "Liu Yao-xi" said, looking at the items in her hand.

Actually, she could have pulled a Hummer out of her spatial dimension, but how would she explain it to the military department later? The obvious modifications wouldn't escape Xing Lie's eyes.

Those whose battle power was tested after Su Yi lacked spirit beasts to measure against, and naturally could not obtain their true combat capability ratings.

"Very well, since you have never harmed anyone, I will spare your lives this once. However, if you dare to engage in such despicable acts again, I will surely take your head." Ye Feng shouted angrily, channeling a stream of true qi into each of their bodies.

Consequently, Magape was directly struck by the chess piece, shattering his sternum and causing him to vomit blood. The surrounding lizardman guards never expected that the human who had been persuaded moments before would turn hostile without a second word.

However, the entrance to the abyss had been found, but were there any remaining traces left by Gu Yuanshan nearby?

"Fifteen!" The middle man lowered his head even further, uttering a hoarse and low voice.

The United States does not have a universal healthcare system, but its national budget allocates an absurdly high proportion to medical and healthcare expenditures.

Hearing this, Su Changle immediately straightened up, the quilt slipping from her body to reveal her fair shoulders and neck, which were marked with several ambiguous traces.

Based on the Westeros system, with a 30% investment allocation totaling 3 billion dollars in principal, and after deducting various commissions and fees, Simon's profit was close to 1 billion dollars.

At this moment, she was clinging to Su Changyu like a piece of taffy, wrapping both arms around his arm with an exceptionally bright smile.

"Hehe, and who was it that called our baby Wanwan a wild girl?" Bai Mei said with biting sarcasm, making Peng Guohui feel even more guilty.
