Chapter 33: Heroine

“Come, come, Comrade Jingzhu, Old Meng, Old Du, I invite you all to watch a fireworks display and see firsthand whether the explosives we prepared pack enough punch!” At the edge of the ammunition testing ground, Wang Suzhen smiled warmly and brightly, but the weight behind her words was as radiant as her smile.

“This time, our formula is exceptionally good. I couldn’t resist and crafted a few grenades so everyone can have a more intuitive experience of our powerful concoction!”

Even in the tiniest laboratory experiments, she could sense the explosive force.

It wasn’t until recently that she heard news from Xinkuan and the Gu Demon Sect, which made her realize this was a perfect opportunity. That’s why she had secretly slipped out and was waiting here for Tiansheng.

“Of course, I know Shen Yu is not a man who seeks power. But he is hot-blooded. His father, Shen Cong, was an adversary of mine, and his brother, Shen Zan, secretly helped the Fourth Elder quite a bit. Shen Yu can be spared, but Shen Zan cannot. If one day he seeks revenge for his father and brother, wouldn’t I be asking for trouble?” King Mu’s tone was resolute.

Gu Bing’er smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes shimmering with an extraordinary light. When she said “we,” she naturally meant herself and Xue Shisan.

Chen Jing’s face flushed red and blue, his whole body trembling uncontrollably. His wrinkled hands had long clenched into fists, revealing the depth of his anger.

Those who are not of our kind surely harbor different hearts. Moreover, Xu Zheng came from the modern world and understands these Japanese invaders well, despising them utterly.

The surveillance footage continued, but after the two entered the hospital, they vanished, with no further recordings available. Qin Feng stared at the screen, lost in thought, silent for a long time.

Helpless, Ziyan had to bathe and change on her own. It was only after hearing the giggles outside the hall that she understood what was going on.

Though these things sounded lighthearted, upon deeper reflection, they still stirred the blood with passion.

Chuxiu was born with an eidetic memory, so remembering this ledger was no trouble, let alone the other accounts. Thus, over the past month, all the clerical and financial affairs coming in and out of the Yun Mansion passed through her hands without major errors.

After flying for about an hour, a mountain peak shrouded in mist suddenly appeared in sight.

Cinderella’s current appearance made much more sense—her features had changed so much that her stepmother and stepsister couldn’t recognize her. Yang Yi’s eyes gleamed as he awaited the unfolding events. Cinderella’s entrance was truly striking, capturing everyone’s attention, including the prince’s.

After such a blow, those thieves surely believed the Song people wielded some kind of sorcery, and they probably wouldn’t dare approach again. This was even more terrifying than the power of firearms.

Yang Yi ascended the arrow tower and looked toward Viscount Gass’s camp. Flames soared high into the night sky; countless people ran in panic, their screams echoing far into the darkness. Some soldiers had even become human torches, running around in misery—a scene of utter chaos.

At the sight, Li Lingyi thought to himself that this man was undoubtedly a pioneer and likely aligned with the ghoul faction. Clenching his battle rifle, Li Lingyi also entered the fray.

In the illusion, he had imagined countless times the moment he would meet Li Sinian. When the illusion shattered and he found no way out, thinking he might never see his parents or sister again, he couldn’t help but howl to the heavens, releasing the grief and frustration within his heart.

Seeing this, Tian Xuanzi knew it was the perfect moment to destroy it. He raised his sword and, with a leap, his Revolving Wild Sword thrust upward straight into the beetle king’s abdomen.

Chu Ning led everyone into the inner palace, where the emperor’s consorts and the former Grand Empress Dowager resided. Chu Ning often came here to pay respects and greetings to the Grand Empress Dowager and other consorts, so she was very familiar with this area.

Therefore, Li Lingyi deliberately restrained his power, displaying a level comparable to Tian Dao’s. After a fierce physical battle, Tian Dao suddenly used the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Pull, and at the same time, a black list appeared in his hand.
