Volume 1, Chapter 60: Training Upgrade
"Our Yuyu worked hard in training today."
"No, *hic*, I didn't work hard... You guys had to go all the way out to sea to look for me, that's what was hard."
Well, that was true indeed.
The Qin people revered martial prowess. Regardless of whether they were enemies or friends, all brave warriors deserved respect; besides, this was a military order, so they had no choice but to let the matter drop.
Faced with such remarks, Zhao Yaning merely smiled dismissively: ever since winning the treble, everything he did attracted attention.
Aside from pondering over cooking and helping out at Old Second Bai's ironware workshop, he also spent a lot of mental effort dealing with the muddy clay beneath his house.
And there was meat! Aunt Bai hadn't looked closely just now, but inside the tightly covered wooden basin were actually rows of cured red raw meat, numbering over a dozen pieces.
The red brick road of the Haze Formation was swept very clean. Uncle Li carried out his duties as village chief with utmost dedication; there were fewer and fewer people in the village fighting, causing trouble, teasing cats and provoking dogs, or idling about. Everywhere in the fields and at the brick kilns, there was a steaming, bustling atmosphere of hard work.
Moreover, knowing that he was quite advanced in age, there were actually fewer taboos between them. Yet he happened to have a face she liked, and if she didn't pinch him, she felt uncomfortable inside.
When a large army passed through the territory of another country, negotiations were required, and in most cases, a certain compensation had to be paid. The King of Wei would surely use this as an excuse to legitimately annex the cities of the state of Wei.
"Master Zhang Tianjun, the council hall will be left to you to build. We cannot let you spend your own dragon power and material resources; all of that will be undertaken by our divine clan ourselves. As for the construction costs..." The Dragon King said with some embarrassment. This was typical of him—wanting to save face while also wanting to spend as little money as possible.
Those in the know, considering that the Eagle Strike Sky and Sea Air Cavalry Brigade belonged to the Demon Legion, worried that without the vanguard suppressing the enemy, they might be conservative in combat.
For a full twenty minutes, Zhao Yaning achieved almost nothing. Although he made a few crosses, none of them had a good effect, nor did they provide any help to the team.
"What? Qian Dekang is your master?" Jiang Haihe was very surprised. Looking at the young man before him, he simply could not figure out what extraordinary qualities he possessed that would make Qian Dekang take him as a disciple.
Ma Shan's arm fell to the ground, but no blood flowed from the severed stump. Instead, golden light surged, and within a split second, a new arm grew out.
Sun Feng suddenly thought of Bai Jie. He did not know if there was a future for him and Bai Jie, but he decided to cherish the person before him and leave future matters for the future.
If he had known earlier that being subdued by humans would allow him to eat so much delicious food, he should have let humans subdue him much sooner. Being able to eat his fill without having to struggle to find food—this kind of life was simply wonderful.
During her travels over the past three years, she had never forgotten to utilize her glib-tongued advantage to make friends everywhere.
"Although this Daoist Child of the Myriad Phenomenon Valley just fought a battle with our Tianyi Palace earlier, he is clearly not cut from the same cloth as Lin Yan and his group. As long as we give up this trial, he shouldn't make things difficult for us!" Xue Yuxin immediately replied.
The old lady gazed at the old, worn photograph in her hand for a few minutes, suddenly let out a sigh, and then turned her head back again to fix her gaze upon the leader of the men in black, speaking softly.
On one hand, they were fearful of Sun Feng standing before them because they had signed a master-servant and slave contract with him; their lives and deaths rested entirely on Sun Feng's single thought.
"Granny, my friend hasn't come back yet. Let's just wait here for him to return," Lin凡 said.
Mu Yonghua's look of utter disappointment in his eyes seemed especially affected and hypocritical in the eyes of Lie Yan.
