Chapter 140 Frightened Out of My Wits

The Grand Princess froze. She had originally thought Ye Cheng would step forward, but who could have expected this handsome young gentleman to do so instead?

Moreover, there was something vaguely familiar about him.

“Please, brother, speak,” Zhao Xuanyun said, casting a cold glance at Ling Xiaoyue.

“How about the Eternal Qin of Flowing Water Without Strings?” Ling Xiaoyue asked with a soft laugh.

...

The great trees nearby blotted out the sky. Their branches intertwined, and layer upon layer of lush green leaves blocked most of the sunlight, allowing only a few scattered shafts of light to filter through—just enough for them to make out one another’s faces.

Xuanyi did not care in the slightest about her sudden change of expression. His master was somewhat of an actor himself, and Xuanyi had long since grown accustomed to it.

The younger generation was always so attentive when it came to Jiang Fan. If you mentioned one, they would help you consider two and three as well. Jiang Fan was very pleased with that.

Gao Da led a squad of spearmen and had already charged to Qin Hu’s side. With a chaotic flurry of thrusts, they turned the enemy spearmen who had fallen to the ground moments before into pincushions.

The Crown Prince of the Sea-Entering Empire, Gan Zhengqing, wore an unexpectedly calm expression. Yet everyone knew that he had probably already suffered a terrible loss of face inside and was burning with fury.

Through the window, Gong vaguely saw several figures in black uniforms running out through the back door. There was something familiar about those uniforms.

The dark demon warriors charged out and searched the open ground beyond the wall for any monsters that were still alive, killing them one by one.

On our side, Masike held a certain advantage. In particular, their 4680 battery achieved a substantial improvement in overall performance primarily through optimization of its comprehensive battery-management system.

These emotions had been suppressed in her heart for a long time. Their sudden release left her completely drained, body and spirit alike.

What was especially troublesome was that those several hands could each wield different demonic arts, making them exceedingly difficult for her to withstand.

Everyone throughout Bluewind Group knew that, no matter whom President Ling met, she was invariably unsmiling and cold-faced. Of course, only someone like that could keep such a pack of old foxes under control.

Orange Seven shuddered. In that instant, a single thought crossed his mind: Why had he ever been foolish enough to anger Yun Bupiao?

With her head spinning, Zhou Ruolan glanced at Yang Feng, and the thought of refusing was extinguished. After all, she had already promised that from now on, she would listen to Yang Feng.

Qin Keye had already seen who the man beside He Liying was. Somewhat startled, she instinctively turned to look at Chu Man.

On the other side, the soldier dispatched to deliver the report first went to Shangguan Jin’s tent. When he found no one there, he learned from the others that the Seventh Prince had taken his men to the rear mountain and was not currently in the camp.

The Gu Group attached immense importance to the development of its offline factories. Gu Run’an had personally familiarized himself with every person in charge. He had never expected that the Chu Group would win them over as well.

Ren Shaoyan’s vision went black. It seemed that Xu Luoluo had grown taller again. In truth, he felt she was tall enough already; if she grew any more, she would become far too big.

It could also gather all the spiritual energy and unleash a lethal strike dealing triple damage. This was an exceptionally powerful trump card.

“I can pay more.” Shangguan Jin knew that Qin Miaomiao was a hopeless money lover, so he hurriedly raised his offer to tempt her.

To everyone’s surprise, Lu Min did not fall for it. He realized that He Haozi was testing him. If he had blurted out that the spare horse could be tied to the carriage, that would have exposed the flaw. A carriage for commoners was permitted to use only one horse, and during an argument, no one would instinctively think of forcibly adding another horse and still counting it as a single carriage.

Suddenly, someone said, “I am not a man who enjoys killing.”

The voice was extraordinarily magnetic, as though someone were playing a supremely elegant instrument—and playing it with exquisite beauty.

Boss Zhou, meanwhile, was off to the side, simmering a great pot of medicinal herbs of unknown origin. A strong earthy smell wafted through the air.
