At this moment, Bier and the others were huddled together. Surrounded by members of the Water Scale Tribe, they dared not act rashly; if they were captured and defiled, how could they ever face Lei Tian again?
"Such a distant matter, let's talk about it later!" Lin Jiachun sighed and said.
Inside the Ferrari, Su Si pulled her laptop from her backpack. After her fingers danced freely across the keys, several camera feeds appeared on the screen, showing none other than Xiang Kun’s house in Eagle Eye Alley! Switching between the feeds with ease, Su Si raised an eyebrow, daring to chat with Young Master Tantai, completely unaware of the dangers ahead.
Hearing her mommy's voice behind her, Ding Ding turned around with a wide smile, ready to throw herself into her mother's arms, only to feel her collar tighten as she was hoisted into the air.
This question left Han Bing stunned. What was going on now? Was Concubine Xin playing the fool?
Old Master Mu was slightly taken aback; having been a manor lord for over twenty years, no one had ever dared to show him such disrespect, so he had not expected this attitude from Leng Yue. However, he quickly recovered: "Could the young lady favor me with her name?" Leng Yue remained silent.
The masked person did not mention the incident from earlier, for taking something without asking is akin to stealing. If this were revealed and heard by others, Lin Jiachun would certainly be gossiped about by her classmates behind her back.
In September of that year, the Great General of the Wei Army, Xu Zhen, attacked the Southern Liang Kingdom. The Southern Liang army retreated to Pyongyang and was heavily besieged by the Wei forces. The Emperor of Wei, Cao Tianyi, subsequently appointed Tian Yi as the Supreme General and Qin Yu as the Deputy General to lead the army in rescuing Pyongyang.
"Big sister, don’t abandon Keke, Keke is very obedient." Seeing Ye Xiang appear—clad in new clothes and exuding a fresh, clean scent—Keke spoke with a deeply aggrieved expression. "Keke didn't speak just now." Having said this, she actually mimicked Ye Xiang by making a "shush" gesture.
"I ask the Skeleton Ancestor to be accommodating!" Ming Potian’s icy expression softened, and his tone became slightly more sincere.
Thinking of this, a cold sneer curled the corners of Bai Min’s lips. Since they were looking for a partner, why not... take this opportunity to make the Lu Group their collaborator!
The scene looked somewhat terrifying, and even Ning Yue could not help but avert her gaze.

In this era, the economy was recovering. In a few years, as the domestic economy developed rapidly, she had to seize the opportunity.
Zhan Changsheng reached out to touch it. As soon as she made contact, a drop of blood automatically seeped into the object. Her consciousness was pulled into an alien dimension; in the vast, empty world, only the sound of war drums could be heard, with no one in sight, and the air was filled with sorrowful songs.
Sun Dahu’s face flushed with embarrassment, but constrained by the fact that the other party was an elder, he could only nod with a bitter expression.
Ascending twenty thousand li, she pierced through the thick cloud layer, almost feeling the spatial barrier of this grotto-heaven. It was then that she turned back to pass through the clouds again, searching meticulously until she discovered the Thousand-Bell Flower, which hung upside down, clinging to the clouds.
Not long after Li Lingyue and Li Zhao Yi left, he, feeling bored and not treating himself as an outsider, wandered out of the villa.
Ju Wuzhang stepped forward, the source of pure Taoist energy radiating from him. The righteous and vast aura instantly dispersed the lingering demonic fog, and the sight of the dilapidated village came into his view once more.
Yun Tianxin felt a secret tremor in his heart. The ability to manipulate human hearts was so potent that even he felt a chill down his spine.
"Isn't him asking you to get a full physical exam just a way to spend more time with you? A good first impression helps with future development. Why are you such a slow child?" Mother Su glared at Su Yan’an in exasperation.
Bone armor imbued with divine power coalesced in front of him, and a powerful pale blue bone spear sent out a shockwave of the same color, instantly piercing through those beasts.
Tang Zishan spread her fair, delicate arms helplessly, truly unable to understand what these boys were trying to do. Especially Dai Pinghai—a boy so full of righteous spirit, why was he so competitive? She didn't like that, and she didn't like boys who acted that way.
Because this area of the Black Water Swamp was nearing a breakthrough, the water was not deep, but the sludge was thick. The two could not care about that; terrified of being scorched by the Flame Dragon, they quickly burrowed into the mud.
Many professionals killed in battle were sent to the Luo Suo Cathedral for burial. It was said that they would consume the Soul Crystals left behind by the bishops to ensure the warriors' souls would not be polluted by evil and could rest in peace.

Gu Chen rolled his eyes and then collapsed. He couldn't handle it anymore; his chest felt abnormally tight, and he wanted to beat his chest like a gorilla just to feel some relief.
Since the Three Thousand Tao Knots were effective against the Blood Mouth, Chen Feng hoped to use this opportunity to improve them.
Chen Rong lowered her eyes, thinking to herself: If I don't produce this number, will Chen Yuan let me off?
Jin Suyan’s pitiful appearance made Jiang Chengce feel an intense, wrenching pain, leaving him filled with regret.
Indeed, Jiang Chengce could not fathom it even after wracking his brain: the Nangong family had abandoned him precisely so he would endure hardship and be forged into steel.
However, the power of a Fundamental Mystery was at least three times that of a standard one. If this had not been an area-of-effect Fundamental Mystery, Cang Batian and the others would likely not have been able to withstand it.
She said no more, leaning against the carriage and closing her eyes slightly. The events of the past few years replayed in her mind like a film from a previous life, sometimes ruthless, sometimes joyful, yet truly spectacular.
Zhao Wu disbanded the Rongdi people near Jimen and then led the Xu people toward Jiashe. After crossing the southern part of Jiashe and arriving at Handan, he paused briefly to accept reports from his retainers.
Old Master Su nodded with gratification. His son had not entered the political system, but as long as he could successfully reach the top, everything would still be in time, and Su Kaixin had never disappointed him.
The figures announced by the Jin state were enormous, including both wealth and population. The number of people demanded was almost equal to the total population Zhao Wu had previously plundered—in this way, Zhao Wu’s raiding was effectively "whitewashed," becoming "state-sponsored robbery" conducted in the name of the nation.
