Chapter 41

With that, Wu Qiang walked in from outside, which surprised Yang Bo somewhat. Before setting off, he had told Wu Qiang to rest at the hotel, not expecting him to follow along after all, though perhaps it was for the better.

Although he and Li Caiwei could not meet in person, they usually kept in touch via phone calls. Naturally, apart from his own parents, Gu Bei feared most letting this girl know about his injury. Little did he know that big-mouthed Li Zheng had leaked the secret to her, which was why his phone calls with Li Caiwei had been rather frequent lately.

Holding a glass of wine, Yang Bo sipped it slowly, seemingly acting just like an ordinary customer who had come in for a drink.

Not only Dongzhi failed to understand, but Zuo Zhan and Lü Shuang were equally perplexed. The three of them were completely baffled, feeling a crushing sense of intellectual defeat every time they faced Xu You and He Ru.

He was too exhausted, emotionally and mentally drained, yet unable to sleep. His mind was filled with every smile and frown of Tian Tian, and every little detail of their time together. Yet, in the end, he found that there were no memories left worth cherishing; Tian Tian’s smiles and frowns were never meant for him, nor were the fragments of their time together his exclusive memories.

Choosing a song was a difficult task. Tian Tian did not know what song to use for the competition, but fortunately, there was Gu Bei, who had already helped her choose one back on the day they returned to Shilin.

Regarding the command of troops, Jiang Ziyuan knew An Xiulin would never grant permission, so he persuaded Xu Shunhua in advance. With Xu Shunhua stepping forward, there should be no major problems.

Murong Ningxue was momentarily stunned. She had not expected someone to dare catch a military bayonet bare-handed without sustaining any injury. Such capability was indeed extraordinary, yet she could not bear Wang Jing’s nonchalant demeanor and instinctively tried to pull her hand back in anger, only to find it immovable no matter how hard she tried.

Both were cauldrons of alchemy, yet one refined heaven and earth to vanquish enemies, while the other fused divine herbs to forge elixirs.

Blood instantly burst from Xun’s mouth, and several teeth flew out. Even though his physical fitness surpassed that of ordinary people, he still appeared somewhat feeble when facing the much more formidable Wang Jing.

"That's good." Li Ziyu felt a huge burden lift from her heart, the heavy stone pressing down upon her chest finally removed. There shouldn't be any obstacles to her marriage with Brother Ren now, right? The new emperor wouldn't prevent her union with Brother Ren, would she?

After the meal, Li Ziyu handed Chai Bin a thousand-liang banknote to settle the inn's tab. Once Chai Bin paid the bill, everyone took their respective places in the carriages, ready to set off.

Liu Jianshi looked up and down at Su Duxiu, desperately wanting to ask if he currently had any idea that he looked precisely like a monkey.

No wonder Laguchi was surprised. One had to know that on the White Emperor Continent, there had never been a precedent of anyone below the upper stage of the Great Star Position entering the Heavenly Realm... And he certainly did not believe that Shui Linglong and Shu Meng had reached the upper stage of the Great Star Position.

Regarding the scheming mentality of Zhou Aaofeng and the others at this moment, Zhou Aaotian was unsure whether this was a loophole in the former head's handling of affairs, or if the former head had believed that passing down the Eight Diagrams Divine Fist to him had already paved all possible paths of retreat.

This battle required no elaboration, for Liu Yu had utterly crushed the Yuan vanguard with the unstoppable force of a sweeping gale, almost completely annihilating them. With so many formidable generals gathered together, coupled with the fact that the Yuan vanguard was caught unprepared, such an outcome was hardly surprising.

In the subsequent rounds, most players, including Xu Gang, suffered far more losses than wins. There was even another instance where a triplet roll wiped out all players, both winners and losers alike.

Yet Lin Yi fell silent... He had always believed that attaining godhood was merely a myth. To think... there truly were divine-tier powerhouses?

Caboli immediately let out a cold snort, though he remained silent. After all, regarding that matter, he was indeed to blame. Had he not initially harbored the notion of having Lin Yi join the Ancient Energies, even if Lin Qiang had come, it would have been impossible to rescue him, and that object naturally would not have been lost.

To a certain extent, the curly-haired lion represented the beginning of a better life for the family. Ever since they got the carriage, life at home had improved day by day, which was the very reason why Li Ziyu and the others cherished the curly-haired lion so much.

Well, Wu Xian had assumed he could name any price he wanted, never expecting the other party's preparations to be far more comprehensive than his own, leaving him deeply embarrassed with a blushing face.

If one ignored Wan Li's words and looked solely at his smile, one would genuinely think he looked quite handsome. However, upon hearing his words and then seeing that smile, one would feel a chill run down their spine.

"Leader, surrender. The Blood Moon is willing to serve Young Master Su." Looking at Su Fan, the crowd addressed Sente, who was blocked by Su Fan, and then simultaneously dropped to one knee, lowering their heads.

To fight to the death would inevitably result in total annihilation, but to surrender would reduce them to mere cannon fodder for the Tianmen Group, and worse still, completely ruin their reputation throughout the underworld of Xiangbei Province.

Before us lay a meandering, gurgling river, ahead stretched dense forests, undulating and boundless as far as the eye could see. Looking around, towering mountains ringed the horizon, guarding this basin at the center.

Lu Chen sneered and walked towards Liu Shuxiang; since he had already shown himself, he could not avoid greeting an old classmate.

Yet upon hearing Gu Dai praise this unseen driver, Zhao Ruoxi's heart immediately took notice.

However, it seemed Wan Li's earlier tactic of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys had not been executed very well, for someone was still refusing to yield to reason.

"Moshu is upstairs; she hasn't even come down to eat since she returned. I just went up to check on her, and she was still sitting there quietly. The moment I closed her bedroom door, she started packing her luggage. It seems she is utterly determined to leave this time," said Shangguan Yiting.

Su Ling stopped speaking, gazing quietly at the four characters "My Wife Moshu" carved on the gravestone. An overwhelming emotion surged and echoed within his chest; with what deep affection and agonizing pain he must have carved line after line. The distance between him and Moshu seemed as close as right before his eyes, yet separated by the gulf of a world apart.

Surrounded by grayness and chaos, interwoven wisps of water trails and ethereal cloud vapor lingered, as though this were the primordial chaos before the dawn of creation, or perhaps the ultimate origin and beginning of all things.

As a result, the state of Zhao found itself entirely free of worries to its south, west, and north, providing exceptional conditions for Zhao to launch a full-scale offensive against Qi.

Yet when his eldest brother got married, he only gave the eldest sister-in-law sixty-eight thousand in betrothal gifts—and times were tough back then. To think this prospective second sister-in-law would casually demand over a million; isn't that simply too outrageous?
