Chapter 71: A Long-Standing Connection

This ramen shop was none other than the legendary Ichiraku Ramen from the original work. Having only recently opened for business, it truly deserved its reputation as the most iconic establishment in the Naruto world, and the flavor was indeed exceptionally good.

However, Chai Shao beside him was entirely different. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he stared fixedly at Li Yu, wishing he could tear Li Yu apart with his gaze alone. When it came to sheer hatred, he despised Li Yu even more than Li Ji did.

Across the Yak River, Songtsan Gampo lowered his telescope, a look of worry clouding his face. Although his troop numbers still surpassed those of the enemy, in terms of momentum, the adversary far outshined him. Their presence was overwhelming, their killing intent soaring to the heavens, and the deafening battle cries from the opposite bank reached his own ears.

One could say that Zhou Yao was a diligent emperor, yet not pedantic; he would even stop at nothing to achieve his goals. This could be clearly seen in his political maneuvering against Prince Jin.

"Long Lie, Huang Feng, come over here. Your King will teach you how to train from now on." Summoning his two subordinates, Chen Changsheng led them to a secluded spot and talked with them for a long while, finally dismissing them with strange yet enlightened expressions on their faces.

Moyou was more nervous and expectant at this moment than if she were winning an award herself. She turned her head to cheer on Li Yao—after all, he was her cousin and one of their own.

As the gala came to an end, the crowd gradually dispersed. Artists from various agencies sought out their respective managers, slipping away under their cover to escape the pursuit of crazed fans.

Encountering Shen Ruolan while gaming, Xiang Chengwu could not tell whether he was fortunate or unfortunate. The fortunate part was that Shen Ruolan was a powerful carrier; the unfortunate part was that as an ADC, he would essentially have zero presence in the game.

In Lhasa, Li Ji was clad in a suit of armor that already looked somewhat worn. There was no helping it; acquiring a suit of armor in Tubo nowadays was extremely difficult. As a high-ranking general, he naturally possessed a suit of iron armor, but having used it for quite some time, it appeared thoroughly weathered.

Hou Nietao's brow relaxed. The attributes of this enchantment card were simply too suitable. Without a second thought, he raised his hand and shouted in a deep voice.

Bo Yanhe had only guessed that Weiyuanzi took her as a disciple because of the demonic energy within her body, but as for the specific reason why, she had yet to figure it out. Hearing what Di He had just said, she suddenly found it somewhat ironic.

The allure of a dragon vein was far too great for Li Yu. Regardless of whether the legend was true or false, he already had one stored inside his Black Universe Ring. Now hearing news of another dragon vein, it would be a lie to say he was not tempted.

"What I promised you before was only to bring you out of the valley, never that I would let you leave freely." Nan He reminded him, recalling the words they had exchanged previously.

Could he really have lost his way? Or perhaps he encountered a venomous snake and was bitten? A flurry of competing thoughts arose, causing Ji Lingfei to grow restless and uneasy.

At this moment, their positions had shifted from Di He walking in front at the beginning to her taking the lead. She did not stop there, but continued walking toward the location where those objects rested.

When Li Yu opened his eyes once more, he found that the basement was gone from his sight, and the surrounding cold air had transformed into scorching heat.

Ye Tianyi could not help but shake his head. It seemed the exams had thoroughly brainwashed the people here; perhaps only after they passed the exams would everything here return to normal.

Not only him, but even Bo Yanhe, who sat perched in the crooked-neck tree watching all this, could not help her breathing grow hurried.

This was the second day after her breakup with Gu Shaoyang. She had never turned her phone on, yet upon coming to the shop today, she ran unexpectedly into Su Yiweicheng.

On this day, Grandfather carved the Zhu You family's protective talisman onto my body, leaving me with the three mortal taboos of the Zhu You clan. Clutching a wine gourd, he laughed heartily as he drank, walking up Mount Wanshou north of Yanggu.

For a cultivator in the Qi Sea realm to defeat a Heavenly Dao realm powerhouse using swordsmanship—who would believe such a tale if they had not witnessed it with their own eyes?

Lin Weizhong was well aware that there was no affection between Yuan Hai and Lin Mengshan; it was purely a marriage of convenience based on business interests.

Lu Bin walked over to the parking lot beside the building, opened the door of a black Audi, and took the driver's seat.

He scanned the ward. The room was noisy, with everyone arguing, though it was unclear what they were quarreling about.

Ma Dong parked the pink Hummer on a sparsely populated road and prepared to head toward a nearby supermarket.

"I was merely joking with you, wasn't I? There's nothing unclear about that," Wen Qihang consoled her.

"Wen, my dear official, although this marriage alliance concerns the long-term peace and stability of both the Song and Tang dynasties, it is ultimately your personal matter. His Majesty and I both wish to hear your thoughts. I wonder what your views are on this?" Emperor Zhao the Second asked, casting a sinister sidelong glance at Wen Qihang.

Recalling when he first met Yue Yingyan, that ball of flame had likewise given him a sense of innate, icy nobility.

Chu Yi slept for nearly three days. Over the course of these three days, the Sen Luo Heavenly Abode had begun to operate preliminarily, and the skies above the entire Heavenly Abode were filled with lingering seven-colored auspicious light. This was because the destiny gathered within the Sen Luo Heavenly Abode had reached an ultimate peak.

Right at that moment, Chu Yi's expression suddenly tightened. He opened his eyes and, sensing something, looked toward the front left.

"Mubujin, I’ve given Aunt Huo money for your daily expenses, and I will give you more after a while. You don't need to worry," Xing Ziyan said with a faint smile, watching Fang Mujin, who looked as though she was about to beat her chest in frustration.

Since Xu Hong had no intention of speaking up from the very beginning, Wen Ruoli naturally did not continue questioning her. Doing so would yield no benefit for either side.

Feng Wuqing was momentarily stunned by the sudden change in expression on Long Zhendong's face, before realizing that this fellow had been putting on an act the entire time.

Just when he thought it would be another peaceful day, a surge of demonic energy soared straight into the sky.

Luo Hongyi mentioned it casually without paying it much mind. Her divine sense had already swept through the Quicksand River, and she had discovered nothing unusual at the riverbed.
