Then there was Maomao, who approached Qi Zihan holding a pot of wine. "Hello, my name is Maomao. You really are quite beautiful," he said with a smile before stepping aside without shaking her hand.
The Five-Colored Dragon Tombs scattered throughout the Dragonbone Wilderness were battlegrounds fiercely contested in a tug-of-war between the Western Advance Army and the Black Dragon Legion. Except for the Red Jade Sanctuary, firmly held by the Red Dragon faction, the other sites were all problematic.
Does this mean "I'll do my best with the script, so if the game doesn't become a masterpiece, it's entirely the fault of those who remain"?
Long Yun couldn’t figure it out, so he gave up thinking and simply called Jia Xu in; since he couldn’t solve it himself, it was better to ask Jia Xu directly.
"Not at all! I’ve thought of a method so that in the future, you won’t have to do so many assignments," Long Long quickly shook his head to explain.
Time passed quietly. Three days later, a cultivator rushed out of the training chamber like a fire burning his backside, stepping across the water onto the lake. Dark clouds gathered in the sky as thunder descended, followed by a bolt of lightning striking down—a celestial thunder tribulation.
This sensation was something the lich had experienced when tormenting others’ souls—though that referred to others whose souls were tortured to the brink of extinguishment. He himself had never felt such a thing before. A surge of fear welled up inside him.
"Die!" The enraged Datongmu Zhou raised his right hand in a striking pose, a massive black energy sphere forming in his palm before exploding with a thunderous blast.
“My lady, first use some ice water,” Yun Lian gently smoothed the stray hairs at her lady’s temple, then fetched a lacquered wooden tray holding a cup filled with iced tea.
Tuoba Shen knew the emperor was displeased. This was not the Taihua Hall, so formal court rituals were not necessary, nor was it required to address him with the honorific "Your Excellency."
Perhaps Cao Cao was right. Maybe soon, the various long-hidden troubles lurking within the Han dynasty would suddenly erupt, with the imperial capital Luoyang at the very center of the storm.
Regarding the naval warships' crossbows, experiments showed they could launch cluster grenades as far as four to five hundred meters, and the firing speed was impressive. By pulling the pins of all grenades simultaneously with a rope at the moment of firing, multiple explosions could be triggered at once.
Caught off guard, Lu Shui hastily dodged but was still struck on the shoulder by a strange insect. She let out a soft cry and collapsed, while those attacking insects also fell dead, powerless.
Jing’er and Cao Ge chatted and laughed as they returned to the room. Along the way, someone was sent to notify the nurse to come and dress the wounds.
"Since there are none, I will arrange military deployments. Pei Renji, you are to withdraw fifty thousand troops from the Luoyang headquarters!" Yang Jing declared, seeing no objections from those present as he began personnel arrangements.
Suddenly, amidst the wailing of horns, Jin soldiers appeared carrying siege ladders. Xiao Ming knew that once a large number of Jin troops climbed the walls, the Song army would not be able to hold them back. He ordered the bronze cannon to be brought up, aiming at the densely packed enemy ranks. Xiao Ming personally operated the cannon.
"Let’s go. Want to take a bath?" Ye Junxuan patted Su Han’s blanket, seeking her consent. After sweating so much yesterday, it was only right to wash up. However, she seemed reluctant to bathe with him—perhaps out of unfamiliarity or shyness.
These commoners’ children had such a rare chance to rise swiftly; how could they give it up? Even if a mountain of blades and seas of fire lay ahead, they would grit their teeth and leap forward, especially when it was only a matter of walking a few hundred miles.
Not only disgraced, but the Chu family was also implicated. Could Chu Xiao bear such a burden?
Chu Yun discovered that even if you stood right before it, it barely inflicted any harm—a perfect meat shield—but beware, it had 7,000 health points.
Punk Chao also spotted the tall young man approaching from outside the freight yard. At first, he paid no attention to him, but when he saw Min Dongfang’s intense glare, Punk Chao immediately realized ill intent was afoot.
Reflecting alone, today’s business was good. The grape stall opposite also attracted many customers at this hour. If this continued for three days, he could set up shop there permanently.
After turning the matter over in his mind several times, Da Huang finally confronted this business legend in a financial magazine, though only revealing a blurred profile.
Suddenly it seemed she was deliberately or subconsciously avoiding the issue. Yet with a single sentence from Gu Zheyu, she was plunged back into despair.
The doctor and assistant exchanged fearful glances. Who knew what madness Gu Zheyu might unleash next?
It was as if he were not the most noble man in the entire Great Yue, but an ordinary person who understood compassion and care.
Liu Na used her spiritual sense to search for his spiritual root and was somewhat surprised to find that this child possessed a mutated thunder attribute spiritual root. Liu Na gazed at the child with tenderness.
Jian Man witnessed everything from the side, watching Mu Tu Gui lift Rong Yue heavily before gently setting her down, feeling deeply dissatisfied.
Doll glanced at IG’s remaining schedule and discovered a terrifying fact. He immediately signaled Miller with his eyes. As longtime partners, Miller instantly understood Doll’s meaning.
Thanks to Jian Man’s costume, she captured numerous eyes upon entering the arena, receiving continuous admiration and praise during her dance. When finished, even Mu Chi Zhu and the queen on stage showed expressions of approval.
