Chapter 35

After finishing her reply to Gu Jin’s message, Shen An opened another conversation box with a smile.

The edge of the lake did not look natural; it appeared more like a giant crater created by a massive impact. Because the terrain was so low, rainwater had accumulated, and groundwater had been forced to the surface, forming this lake.

Gu Jin wiped the water from her face and glanced at Xiao Lin. Seeing him shift his gaze away, feeling guilty, she curled her lips slightly. Her hand, resting at her side, couldn't help but rub against itself.

Bai Luoyin instinctively pinched her fingers. Bai Longzheng had returned, yet he asked neither about Grand Tutor Su Nanfu nor about the Guardian General Song Mingzhe, but instead specifically inquired about Li Luanping. It was enough to make one suspicious.

Fu Chenzhou wiped his hands clean, removed Gu Jin’s glasses to set them aside, and then used a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Yinxi felt like laughing now. So that was the extent of its ambition; even with a portion of the Heavenly Dao’s authority, it was only willing to remain beneath the heavens.

Gu Lin guessed that must be Lu Lianzi. If she truly succeeded in training the common people of the Great Zhou into puppets, should they be killed or not?

Colonel Kalle and Colonel Clement shared an embrace, and then, with a grave expression, Kalle handed the plea for aid from the King of the Oikot Kingdom to Colonel Clement. The two seemed to have a decent relationship.

Before Pei Zhao’er could finish speaking, Wei Jing interrupted her with a refusal and walked off toward the backyard on his own.

She opened her mouth, hesitating as if she wanted to say something but couldn't bring herself to speak. Instead, she just cast a sidelong, secretive glance at her uncle with her large, rolling eyes.

With a "pop," the young man holding the fan flicked his wrist. The peach-blossom fan in his hand instantly transformed into a whirlwind of pink, and as he shook his other sleeve, a sweet fragrance permeated the entire light barrier.

Qi Yanran understood everything at a glance. Xiao Xuqing had no intention of separating from her. Since Qi Yanran was returning to the Prime Minister’s residence, he, the Ninth Prince, would simply move into the Prime Minister’s residence with her. In any case, he wanted to see her every day and be inseparable from her at all times.

Zhao Feng shouted urgently. Looking at the fierce man’s appearance, he was reminded of the ancient warrior Dian Wei, but it was already too late; Pei Yuanshao had already charged out.

Because of this, Tang Song suddenly realized that the experience he had gained through the system was merely the tip of the iceberg. Medicine was truly profound and vast.

Regarding the assessment of Chen Dong’s strength, the superiors had only estimated it to be no less than that of a Level 30 Gold rank.

However, the projection was created through Hua Xuan’ce’s consciousness; it had no physical substance and was even different from his true state. There were distinctions.

Yet, no one expected that the flower of Xiangdong would ultimately be plucked by Ye Bin, the second young master of the Fengcheng Ye family, with whom they were already related by marriage.

Yang Tinghe offered his excuses and then departed, leaving behind a bewildered Wang Yun, whose expression was truly comical.

When Qi Yanran got out of the car today, she vaguely felt as if someone had been watching her. But when she turned her head, she found no one behind her. After it happened twice, Qi Yanran stopped caring, attributing it to her own sensitivity.

"Born as a Star God." Yu Yang’s face darkened with frustration as he carried a specially made storage bag, grabbing every medicinal pill he saw and stuffing it inside without regard for anything else.

Meanwhile, he drew a deep breath in the rear and raised his long spear high. His eyes narrowed, and the spear in his hand slowly began to shine with a clear luster; he was gathering his strength bit by bit. The current situation of being forced into a passive defense was undoubtedly unfavorable to the overall outcome, and since that was the case, he had to break through in a single strike.

The sword energy whistled past. In his haste, Shi Yi realized that Shi Chong had actually dodged it, and his heart eased involuntarily.

Under the violent aura, Xue Zhiyun gasped listlessly. Her face shifted several times in an instant. At the final moment, she activated her soul power once more, pulling herself directly out of the Kunpeng’s sphere of influence.

If it weren't for the need to hide his identity, to be honest, even the awakened ace "Lucky," who was shot down during the Great War of Taiya WH against the "New Asia," was nothing more than this. For Feng Yu, Hage was simply too weak.

One man breaking into an army of 20,000 to rescue his master, another sustaining heavy wounds while still managing to annihilate an elite unit of a hundred men led by an enemy general—such feats were enough to make one feel a bit arrogant, let alone anyone else.

It had been over ten days, and Ye Fan had been trying to capture a flying beast to use as a mount, but he had never succeeded. Not only in this region but in all the forest areas he had visited, there seemed to be no large flying creatures.

Because the circumstances were special this time, only three Spirit Origin Realm cultivators succeeded in breaking through to become Sixth-Rank Alchemists. However, Dan Yi knew that all eight of the Spirit Origin Realm alchemists this time had definitely had the potential to break through to the Sixth Rank. He didn't know how to put it, but the level of this year’s alchemists was truly exceptional.

No one understood why he laughed. With a severely wounded and delirious Prince Jin, this battle was destined to be lost. Because of Prince Jin’s unwillingness to accept defeat, the subsequent siege would inevitably turn into a bitter struggle, using the corpses of his own soldiers to pave the way.

Fei Xingshou returned home and saw his wife putting on makeup, feeling an indescribable disappointment in his heart.

An Chen did not react for a long time. An Shigeng’s slap had been heavy, making him feel as though his head had been knocked out of place, and even the contents inside seemed to be rattling.

Zhang Dan was very happy as she walked toward the cafeteria with the three of them. She had never felt that eating with classmates could be this delightful.

Wei Mingzhu did not object to this point. "However, I like you more. No matter which of my brothers you marry, I will call you sister-in-law, but you have already been claimed by someone else," she said with a hint of reluctance.

"You, you..." After several rounds, Qiao Xiduo glared at him in shame and anger, as if saying, "I don't want to give it to you!" Her watery eyes were filled with profound grievance.

Later, whenever Suoyin thought back to that meeting, it felt like a lifetime ago. How could she have encountered him? She had always thought he was dead, and her heart had died along with him. But upon seeing him, she miraculously discovered that her heart was still beating so violently.

Liu Liyu knocked on the door and entered. When Jiang Huai’an saw the boxed lunch in Liu Liyu’s hand, a flash of awkwardness crossed his face, and he felt a bit flustered.
