Chapter 53: What Could You Have Possibly Been Good For in the Past?

That evening, Wei Yao spent a long time lecturing her daughter about the habit of pulling people's hair. The little one seemed to realize she had done wrong, her tiny hands nervously twisting together while her mouth poked out in a high pout, looking utterly aggrieved.

The child was still too young; some reasoning was beyond her comprehension. In her past life, her daughter had been frail and in poor health. After being reborn, she meticulously nurtured Huihui, carefully selecting food, drinks, and daily necessities, asking not for the best, but only for what was beneficial.

Perhaps now the little one's small frame was finally growing a bit sturdier...

With a stumble, Xiao Chenggui tumbled head over heels onto the ground, his helmet rolling far away.

On this night when the torrential rain had just ceased, Qin Muyang stayed out all night. The common folk had no inkling of the earth-shaking and momentous events unfolding within the city of Jinling.

Liu Yuanniang fell silent for a long moment before nodding. She understood her son; he was someone with his own strong opinions and ideas. Since he had made up his mind, he certainly had everything under control.

The moment Liu Ye's voice trailed off, the two kings stood there dumbfounded. Equipment worth a million was mere drizzle in this person's eyes, and they secretly regretted not opening their mouths wider to ask for more.

At that moment, howling winds and driving rain picked up outside the window once again, the curtains dancing wildly across the room in the gale. I went over to close the window and returned once more to the dining table.

Furthermore, Wu Xi was a man of the post-modern era; the gap in their thinking was vast, destined to result in a fierce battle between them.

Yang Jinxin gasped softly, angrily flinging her handkerchief at him before fleeing like a startled bird into the mouth of the alley.

"Looking for me?" I was momentarily stunned. Could it be that I still had an old flame hidden in this city? How come I had no recollection of it whatsoever?

Sima Yi was overjoyed, respectfully seeing Sima Huichu off. Sima Huichu straightened his robes, waved the horsetail whisk in his hand, and strode out the door.

The Han soldiers on guard duty heard a rustling sound beneath their feet. Raising their torches and looking down, their scalps tingled with terror—endless, overwhelming venomous bugs covered the ground like a blanket. In their panic, a torch dropped to the earth; startled, the swarm instantly crawled all over the soldiers' bodies. The night-watchmen screamed in agony, and within moments, their entire bodies turned blackish-purple as they died from venomous poisoning.

When Chen Yue dispatched Fu Chun to Hirado Island to seek out Li Guozhu, Li Guozhu was not in Hirado, having gone to Nagasaki instead.

That buck-toothed girl, having been severely reprimanded by the deputy city master in full view of the public, scurried away in disgrace.

Sure enough, she spotted the old matriarch, the second aunt, and the second aunt's twin children making a scene and demanding things from her mother.

Yet, what Fang Cun had not anticipated was that not far away, within the encampment of the Chu army, a soldier who was usually fond of drinking and overindulging had his drunken stupor thoroughly shattered by the carnage before his eyes.

He who frequents the riverbank is bound to get his shoes wet; Xu Zheng, who constantly bamboozled others, had finally met his match today. Still, it hardly mattered. He wasn't counting on this shop to turn a profit anyway; as long as he could rescue the Tibetan royal family, a thousand liang of gold was well worth it.

"Wang Wu, you and Chen Qi are going out to handle a matter. Have Chen Qi explain the specific details to you. Your task is to properly arrange all the remaining matters." Ning Feng did not say much more. Once he had given his instructions, he signaled for the two of them to hurry off and execute them.

Xue Bao ordered a pot of fine tea to be brought out, personally poured a cup for Fang Jue, and then led everyone out of the living room.

The Tujue princess uttered a few more disdainful remarks before finally giving the order to open the city gates and let the people of the Celestial Dynasty depart.

She found it hard to believe that Xu Zheng, who had gone to such painstaking lengths to bring her back to the Xu residence, would actually let her go. At that moment, had it not been for the warmth radiating from her palm, she would have thought she was dreaming.

The Overlord Blade Yama chose to make a desperate gamble, leading everyone to break through in a single direction while charging ahead at the very vanguard herself.

Elder Yun coughed repeatedly with stirred emotions, and seeing this, Yun Menger hurriedly handed a cup of water to him.

Looking at Xu Mosheng's current state, Mu Chen felt a very strange sensation. If they ultimately failed to end up together, one of them would inevitably plunge into an abyss of eternal damnation.
