Volume 1, Chapter 59: Qin Yi Falls Ill to Force Lin Qiao Back
Before Qin Tianlang could even speak, the sound of a heavy object dropping echoed from the doorway.
Turning their heads, the father and son of the Qin family saw Xu Mingyue standing at the entrance.
Having seemingly overheard Qin Yi's words, she looked utterly shattered, her face as pale as paper.
She crouched down, gathering the scattered items on the floor.
"Xiao Yi, you mentioned last time that you wanted some small cookies. Since store-bought ones are unhealthy, I went out of my way to take baking classes."
At that moment, Stock, the boss of the Crimson Lotus, was seen aggressively rushing toward them with over two hundred men. Beside him were three heavily wounded individuals covered in blood—upon closer inspection, they were none other than the three survivors who had tried to block them in the main training ground earlier.
All the special forces soldiers raised their heads to look at the dozen military-green Black Hawk helicopters flying across the sky, their bodies bearing the August First military emblem.
Yisheng knelt before the mourning hall, gazing quietly at her father's portrait as her tears flowed straight into her heart. *Father, will you blame me? Am I truly such an unfilial daughter?*
"Are you certain this isn't just a momentary impulse? You must know that once the plan is set in motion, there is no turning back. Even I won't be able to help you then! Do you realize what price you will have to pay?" the old man asked, feeling a mixture of relief and apprehension.
Harry furrowed his brow. Arrogant though he was, he was no fool; hearing the servant speak in such a manner made him realize that the other party might possess a formidable background.
Listening to Zhou Ang's gloomy tone, the various military generals now felt a twinge of regret in their hearts. However, the law cannot punish the multitude; besides, under such circumstances, Zhou Ang would not dare do anything drastic to them.
That saber had been formed from his own wings and naturally possessed extraordinary control. For Aruba to presumptuously attempt to claim the blade for his own use was nothing short of delusional.
The two point-men rushing at the front decisively opened fire, immediately eliminating the terrorists who had stepped forward to intercept them.
Overall, however, the victory of this battle was immensely glorious. Moreover, this was the largest engagement fought since the Chinese army entered Guizhou, and the entire army was naturally jubilant. Having secured this triumph only after bitter and arduous fighting, it held a distinctly profound significance.
"Once you have made the necessary arrangements, head straight to Somalia and wait there to接应 (receive and cover) Squint and the others. Return as soon as Squint arrives; I have other assignments for you," Salozo instructed.
"The two of you have already competed in bare-handed combat and weaponry. The third round will be decided by mutual agreement. How would both of you prefer to compete?" Xue Cai stepped forward and asked the two opponents.
"You pest, always bullying people. I did no such thing!" Sara's face flushed even redder. Biting her lip, she glared fiercely at Shul. Even so, she felt a wave of relief—thank goodness this fellow hadn't overheard her muttering to herself, nor guessed what she was thinking.
More than ten days later, the agents dispatched by Nangong Xiongbaba had thoroughly investigated Mr.东方 (Dongfang's) background, confirming his identity to be untainted and his origins entirely respectable.
With hundreds of imperial concubines and beauties combined, he spent every single night selecting who to summon, truly living a life of utter dissipation amid luxury and sensual pleasures.
As she spoke, she flicked her sleeve and lashed out with a slender, snake-like whip. Measuring over a meter in length, the whip instantly extended nearly twenty meters under the infusion of the First Madam's magic. With just a gentle swing, a series of sharp sonic booms crackled through the air.
Furthermore, once Fang La entered the sinking island and discovered that someone had been there before him, he would inevitably launch a nationwide manhunt for him. This was the exact reason why he was in such a desperate hurry to steal the Heavenly Demon Pill to boost his cultivation; he had to infiltrate the caverns of the sinking island before Fang La could track him down.
Simultaneously, Xiang Li started pulling forcefully on my arm, a sharp wave of agonizing pain instantly crashing into my brain.
I carefully felt the indentation with my hand. Its edges were exceptionally smooth, forming a completely semi-circular shape—was it a bronze ring?
Inside the human palace, the negotiation results were far from ideal. Although the Elven King's sincerity was beyond doubt, the Elves, being an alien race, still made the humans hesitant to take reckless risks. The root cause of this hesitation was simply the lack of communication between the two nations.
