Volume 1, Chapter 44: What a Splendid Morning Farewell Painting of a Fair Lady

In their view, one's fame should always match one's combat prowess. Why then had Lachesis remained obscure, known to those aware of him merely as the First Elder of the Hila race in the Hila Galaxy?

Without waiting for Fang Tong and Wang Sancai to agree, she took the initiative and walked past them, casting a few extra glances at Fang Tong as she passed.

This pointed precisely to Feiliu City in the west. Wang Sancai could not help but think that the source of this voice was likely within the dungeon of the Zhuang family.

"Damn it, everyone fight him together! Otherwise, none of us will survive today. Everyone's faces have been seen by him!" Ossam struggled to climb down from the wall, vomiting a mouthful of blood as he pointed at Li Zhi and shouted angrily.

"Junior Sister Ziying, you're finally back..." The two guarding disciples of Qionghua smiled slightly and greeted her with folded fists when they saw Ziying.

"Hmph—" Whether it was an illusion or not, seeing the incoming Forest Lizard, Shiftry's lips curled into a trace of disdain. With a wave of the two giant leaves on its arms, a violent wind whipped up countless green leaves to surround it, instantly concealing Shiftry's entire body within the foliage.

Because this was originally a contingency plan prepared by the Black Moon from the very beginning—to put it bluntly, a scapegoat.

The birthday cake had three tiers, adorned with white cream shaped like flowers, with twenty-three candles inserted on top. Amidst a birthday song hummed in unison by everyone, Ouyang Chenli clasped her hands together, made a wish, and then blew out the candles, followed by a burst of applause around her.

Li Jiayi was in the office. By the time Chen Yang arrived, she was on the phone. Seeing Chen Yang, she put the phone down.

With that, Li Zhi abruptly unleashed the Illusory Sun Glazed Fire Essence to wipe out the seal on the crystal ball, extracted that fragment of the Flame Demon's soul, and swallowed it in a single gulp.

"Babe!" Seeing her emerge, Murong Jin hurriedly and anxiously went up to meet her. "Babe, are you alright? Is anything uncomfortable? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Murong Jin reached out to shield her and asked a flurry of questions, growing increasingly worried the longer he stared at her pale face.

Love was such a subtle thing: if it existed, it existed. If it did not, forcing it would still yield nothing. On this point, Ning Qilan still understood.

Lingyang looked at the quartz clock ticking on the wall, noting that the time had reached exactly five-thirty in the morning. Servants were already walking back and forth outside, busy sweeping the courtyard and preparing breakfast.

Not daring to enter through the main gate, Lingyang went around to the side door of Aunt Cai's residence. Following the agreed-upon signal of three light knocks followed by three heavy ones, Aunt Cai pulled the door open from the inside, letting Lingyang and Rotu in.

This trip to Suzhou and Hangzhou was not entirely without reward; at the very least, she now knew her older sister was still alive, and right down there under the Leifeng Pagoda.

They originally had only seventy thousand soldiers and generals. Today, Qiu Yong had rashly sent troops into battle, losing over ten thousand. Subtracting the old, weak, sick, and disabled, the remaining combat-ready force was less than fifty thousand.

The silence did not last long before it was broken. A man dressed in staff uniform came running over in a panic, saying there was an important matter requiring Yang Lin's attention. Yang Lin looked at him half-in-doubt, and right then, her phone rang. She gave a few instructions to the staff member and left.

On second thought, for Su Yuyang, finding Ling Mei and potentially meeting his future parents-in-law along the way was indeed a momentous exam in his life.

Being a man of experience, the old military doctor knew the two of them were currently thick as thieves, and staying here would only be an eyesore. With that, he grabbed Kuang Fu by the collar and dragged him away forcibly.

Once the greatest difficulty of personnel was resolved, the remaining problems could naturally no longer be considered problems.

Startled by Zheng Yi's question, Mo Chen paused. He had certainly complained and wondered why Zeus had chosen him, but he had never considered how Zeus had managed to get in. Shaking his head, Mo Chen remained silent.

Yet he never expected that the Tang Dynasty's strength would be so formidable that, through just a few battles, they directly beat the thriving and powerful Illig Khagan to his knees. And they had done so with inferior numbers against superior forces.

A Dao diagram descended from the sky, striking Jiang Yun's body. Cracks appeared in Jiang Yun's Qi pool, and Dao scars marred his internal organs.

In the past, he might have feared computer lag, but after moving to a new place, he had nothing to fear at all. Even the network cable was a hundred-megabit line! It was equivalent to the internet speed in an internet cafe, and though the computer was also new—custom-built like his previous one—its specs were several times higher.

The speed at which people ran was naturally far inferior to the flight speed of the Rhamphorhynchus. Panic and terror escalated rapidly, and screams drowned out the entire district.

Yet it was just like that; practically no messages were sent, and the few that did come were strictly for inquiries or necessary matters. Of course, there were two close friends who messaged him, and whatever the matter, those were always welcome.

"You—how dare you ignore the law? Come with me—" Yang Bingbing originally intended to express her gratitude, but having it abruptly choked back down her throat, her expression turned frosty as she coldly addressed Jiang Yun.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ya and Haole nodded in agreement. Although taking a detour consumed more time and physical effort, the three of them still made this choice. Had Lin Yue known this earlier, he might have reconsidered whether or not to teach them the art of transformation.

A few minutes later, disheveled Hua Yingjie and Tang Xinghai sat on the restaurant sofa, staring angrily at Tang Ming. Having their good time interrupted like that was thoroughly unpleasant.

Ding Yang silently cursed himself for being a fool. No matter how strong a Licker was, it could not control gravity, nor did it possess the energy to fly.

"This place should be fine!" Li Wei rode his Black Star to a flat riverbank, admiring the pleasant surrounding scenery, and decided to take a bath right there.

When Ye Chen previously somersaulted through the air and hurled a blow that knocked out the grizzly bear monster, Murong Qingqing's slender, well-rounded legs had even tensed up abruptly, causing her to straighten her delicate body right up against the tree trunk.

"What the hell? What do you mean, Third Brother?" Zeng Qingquan assumed Wang Meng had done something else to wrong Su Xing, and abruptly stood up.
