Chapter 157: Agony

"Right, my mother once told me that my name isn't Lv Chengfan, but simply Chengfan." Lv Chengfan... or to be precise, Chengfan, began to speak.

"Do you... have any thoughts about the future?" Zheng Shuyang asked somewhat cautiously.

Yun Zhi's deceased husband shared the surname Cheng and the given name Yuanzhou. It was said that his grandfather had been a imperial scholar, and the entire family consisted of frail scholars. Because of this, when the war arrived, the family had no ability to resist whatsoever, leaving only those who were saved by neighbors...

Tang Youde was struck so hard that he fell flat on his seat, knocking out two of his teeth. Clutching his heavily swollen face, he did not dare to utter another sound.

Following the address provided by Themis, the driver took Cheng Daqi to the office building arranged for him by the dark-haired wealthy woman.

The method was not particularly sophisticated. First, Yingjin's mother would drink and chat with people in a bar, and once they became familiar, she would talk about investment projects. If the other party showed interest in investing, she would introduce the man to them.

What a pity. The young master threw away such a wonderful young wife and baby, yet insisted on entangling himself with that Yang Chuxi. He must be truly blind.

Back in the Canglan Immortal Realm, anyone who dared to speak to Jiang Chen in such a manner would have long since had their entire clan slaughtered, and every living soul on that star washed in blood.

The advantage of having mutual friends now came into play. Using a mutual friend as an icebreaker allowed one to start a conversation at any time.

At that moment, Gu Ting was assigning tasks to several servants responsible for cleaning. Seeing Xue Yu come downstairs, she immediately gestured for the others to disperse.

After hearing this, Su Pi realized that his anxiety had been somewhat unnecessary. His lady was not someone so easily bullied, and the members of the Shang family certainly would not dare to treat her excessively or speak overly harsh words to her.

Everyone immediately took turns climbing up, and I tied Xueyi to my waist with a rope, ascending upwards little by little.

"Finally recovered, then?" Professor Connors stood up with Peter's support, rubbing the sunken fist mark on his chest with lingering fear.

To say nothing of the distant matters, he had been deliberately dragging his feet on the issue of holding joint military exercises in the waters of Huaxia alone.

Lin Tian furrowed his brows in distress. In whose hands within the Qi family was this name list kept? Was it in the hands of Elder Qi, or Qi Renjie?

Moreover, this was only because they were inside Chongqing, where the Nationalist Government had too many considerations and refrained from using heavy artillery and other major firepower; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The First Emperor's chest heaved irregularly. Near his heart, a deep wound was faintly visible; the massive and gruesome gash continuously spewed out black essence fire. After a few rounds of combat, both sides had suffered damage, and they had once again fallen into a stalemate.

She had returned from the gates of hell time and time again, struggling desperately to survive. And now, were they cutting off all her paths of escape?

He could still be considered an expert of the Nascent Soul stage, much stronger than ordinary people. Staying behind would definitely enable him to assist Yan Huaiyu in executing the plan smoothly.

Recently, Mourinho had also been considering how to leverage Jonk's physical advantages and translate them into the overall tactics.

He had originally come here to destroy the provisions. Once the grain supplies were gone, that old bastard Nangong Ao's hundreds of thousands of troops would become a pile of worthless trash, let alone fighting a war—they wouldn't even have the strength to run away.

Uttering vicious words and cursing her in-laws with language unfit for a human, so vile and unbearable that Sun Yue'e could no longer tolerate it, she ended up quarreling with her mother-in-law.

Seeing that there was no business left for him, the fat man greeted Bai Xuanxu, opened the passage within the Demonic Qi Flask, and crawled inside to look after the spoils he had gained from his trip to Mount Shu.

Not far away, an accompanying chef was grilling monster meat, which was prepared for the giant cat Hogg. The giant cat Hogg now completely refused raw food and only ate cooked meals. If it wasn't well-prepared, it would be picky, so a barbecue chef had to be specially brought along on the campaign.

Before his voice had even faded, the Divine Firmament Star Thunder Bead spat out a bolt of lightning. This thunderous light descended as if from the nine heavens, silencing both heaven and earth. Falling together with the magic power of the Spirit of Mountains and Rivers of the Earl of Yanchuan, it exploded with a roar, instantly swallowing the Non-Organic Sovereign in the blast and leveling the hall before them to the ground.
