Tang Xing pressed his lips together slightly. Why would Shuiyue go to Moonlight City...? Could it be because of the Bonded Hearts Token?

“Put your hat back on properly.” Seeing Shi Shuiyue lift the veil from her bamboo hat while people nearby cast surreptitious glances in her direction, Tang Xing—the jealous sort—immediately grew displeased. He simply seized the hand holding her veil and took it in his own.

Those who understand the times are wise. Third Brother Ming knew when to compromise and when to act expediently. He understood that if this dragged on, they would only bring humiliation upon themselves and disgrace the Infinite Purgatory. It was better to stop early and report the matter to Chai Hua, letting him decide what to do.

Li Zhi rubbed his nose. Why did the meaning of the Ancestral Dragon Scripture make it sound as though this was rather embarrassing?

Apart from the internal personnel of the Great Apocalypse Financial Development Company, only two thousand defenders remained in the entire safe zone. They had all been selected from the guard unit of the North City settlement and the ten great evolved-warrior legions. Everyone else had been reorganized into the Rescue Army.

Damn it. If this fellow refused to submit later, he would be beaten senseless on the spot. In his heart, Second Battalion Commander had already sentenced Chai Hua to death.

“The empire’s guardian deity was gravely wounded. On top of that, most of the Silver Dragon Empire’s territory was occupied by the Iron Hero Empire. That is why... it became what you see now.” Antina seemed to understand what Li Zhi was mocking and explained softly.

In the distance, Cui Wulei was so horrified that he stood suspended in midair, dumbfounded and utterly motionless.

Zhong Hanyun came to Ye Meng’s side and gently touched her forehead. An unusual fluctuation arose as he examined her condition.

A calm, frigid voice sounded softly, carrying an inexplicable force. It quietly tore open a tunnel through space and time, becoming a thread of light so fine that it was nearly invisible to the naked eye. Piercing through the fabric of reality, it unleashed its formidable power at the instant the golden energy greatsword reached the vicinity of the Azure Heaven.

Even Qi Feibai, who was usually all smiles and laughter, wore a desolate expression as he gazed mournfully at his big brother and mother.

Out of habit, he rubbed his bald head. When he noticed that it felt a little sticky, he remembered that he had not washed it the night before and hastily withdrew his hand.

I truly would fulfill his wish. I had come to this place precisely to grant it. Nothing could change that, no matter how clear everything seemed to me.

He hardened his heart and shoved with all his might, but Liu Daxi seemed completely unaffected and merely giggled.

Only then did Wang Dang understand why several hundred people had come to Mayi as envoys. It turned out they were all there to learn how to wage war.

Back on ancient Earth, when I was saving sick and injured patients in my previous life, what hadn’t I seen? How could I possibly be unable to handle a few wolf cubs?

After leaving behind a distinctly unfriendly look, Butler Hua departed from the sitting room. Yuan Lan listened blankly, unable to make sense of the butler’s thoughts no matter how hard she tried.

Qin Mufeng curved his lips slightly and cast a sidelong glance at Jiang Xun. Knowing that no one would ever be able to bully Jiang Xun, he felt reassured.

Murong Jialan had already changed into loose athletic clothes for running. Her long hair was tied into a bun, and a sweat towel hung around her neck. Yet she was naturally beautiful, with breathtaking features, and even in sportswear she possessed a strikingly heroic elegance.

With Zhang Yu’s clear support and approval, Li Runshi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Ke evidently had no good answer when it came to the theoretical framework—especially the framework needed at this stage. Even though this new era had been ushered in by Chen Ke himself, his theoretical guidance seemed to have reached the point where his inspiration was exhausted.

More terrifying still, those men were all adept with spears, scimitars, hand axes, longswords, bows and arrows, and javelins. They were practically fighting machines. Liu Mang could only be thankful that they had numbers on their side, though it was terribly humiliating for a knight.

Qingwu extended a slender finger and tapped the center of Murong Xiao’s brow. The azure flame totem caused a flicker of strange color to appear in her eyes.

Xu Han understood that the principal medicinal ingredients he needed to refine his pills were here. If he could find even some of the essential herbs, advancing to the next realm would be effortless.

The dazzling splendor of Sanshan City at night could only truly be appreciated by experiencing it firsthand. Ye Qingquan leaned against the window, a freshly opened bottle of Emerald Castle 5989 in his hand. Its rich, mellow fragrance drifted through the entire room.

At its core, Yuanchen Mental Technique was about comprehending the Mind Network. The network’s abilities were boundless and mysterious: perception, intimidation, prediction. It was said that at the highest realms, one could even anticipate an enemy’s next move. Determining whether someone was lying through fluctuations in mental power was hardly difficult.

Chen Yun no longer dared hesitate. He immediately released the seal on the strand of true essence Yang Yanyu had left within his body.

Clearly, his thoughts represented the wishes of most of those present. A minority, like He Ya, hoped both to help Zhao Chen and to benefit the people of the world.

The greatest advantage of becoming an external member was that one would not be bound as one would be by an ordinary faction. Everything was free and unrestricted. Of course, the Mercenary Guild also owed its external members no obligations and would not protect them. The relationship between the two sides was essentially one of mutual cooperation.

“Your lives are in my hands. How could we possibly be late?” Li Mei stopped roughly ten yards before the four of them and spoke.

Besides, one of her acquaintances knew someone from the Li family. He had thumped his chest and guaranteed to her that the matter was absolutely true.

Li Gengxin picked up a pair of large scissors and began his work. One bloodcurdling scream after another echoed through the entire room.

The coachman thought it over and sensed that something was amiss. He hurriedly took the carriage to the stable, then rushed off to find Steward Wang.

After weighing the merits and drawbacks of Taoism and the Religion of Light, he concluded that the latter better suited the faith of the common people. Although it was an imported religion, it had incorporated elements of Taoism, Buddhism, and even Confucian thought.

Amid the black clouds, the Demon Lord of Yueling, the Demon Lord of Nanhuai, and the others gazed from afar at Jingxi City below, each wearing a peculiar expression.

“Thank you for the trouble.” Zhou Yici did not refuse. Given her current condition, she could not drive herself.

“Damn it! You bastard!” On the flying carpet, Li Haibo finished straightening his clothes and cursed furiously, humiliated and enraged.

For a woman who had always maintained impeccable manners and refinement, such a state of mind was exceedingly rare. Even so, she chose to endure it.

Mu Weiwei instinctively wanted to stop Fu Linchen from leaving, but she did not dare say so directly in front of her big brother. All she could do was widen her eyes and frantically signal her intentions to Fu Linchen.

“Bring me two glasses of eighty-two vintage cola, with ice!” Zheng Jian ordered again after Phil had set down the food.

No wonder boys had confessed their feelings to him. With a gentleness that could so effortlessly inspire affection, she would even believe it if a fly confessed its love to him.
