Chapter 43
The two of them went out after finishing breakfast. Ye Fan had called his parents beforehand to give them a heads-up, just in case the old couple became too excited and passed out on the spot, acting as a sort of precautionary measure.
As Lin Zi repeated for the third time that she should pay attention to safety and stay in touch at all times, she was dragged away by Butterfly. Butterfly winked at Lin Yu, mouthing that she would also protect Lin Zi well. Lin Yu smiled at her gratefully; this was precisely what she had been worrying about, and Sister Butterfly had seen right through it.
"For instance... always shifting the blame for your own mistakes onto others," Wanying intentionally retorted to provoke him.
Having experienced these two aspects, their deaths were not filled with regret. Perhaps it was upon hearing the gunfire ringing in their ears, or perhaps it was the final burst of lucidity just before death.
The five of them successively pulled out daggers and walked toward the inflatable boat filled with fish. Without a second word, they went into action.
The speaker was He Dong's chief strategist, a shrewd and capable person who frequently offered counsel and schemes for He Dong.
Three Thousand Thoughts appeared at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by nothing at all except the boundless, pristine white snow.
After Liao Qing left, Zhou Tai originally wanted to let Jia Baoyu go back and pack his things. Jia Baoyu thought about it and realized he had nothing essential to bring, so naturally, he did not return.
Wan Ziqing's exquisite garment was torn by Li Suqing, and fresh blood gushed out continuously from the tear in her clothes.
"Teacher! You cannot let him continue singing!" Jiraiya bit his lip tightly. The people around them had already turned pale, their footsteps unsteady and weak, and he prepared to step forward.
Whatever tantrums he might have thrown earlier were in the past; when it came to serious matters, Tsunenori Tokugawa still maintained the dignity and bearing of a family head.
Those who supported Chen Feng were all friends of Chen Feng's father from back in the day when they started the business together. For reasons unknown, as soon as Chen Feng returned, he demanded to have him appointed to a crucial position in the company.
After resting for a little while, Li Yun began to pour out endless complaints, though the meaning boiled down to the same thing. There were simply far too many people today, and despite exerting every ounce of effort, they had been unable to squeeze their way out.
Silently in his heart, he thought: Young Master, from this day forward, this life of mine, Zhang Daqiang, belongs entirely to you.
Yasi wanted to say she had no malicious intentions. Clearly, it was they who had invited her here, so why were they now acting as if they were terrified of her to death?
Yet by the time the sun dipped below the western horizon, let alone Yuan Ye, not a single shadow of a person passed before the gates of Qi'an Palace.
Upon spotting Xiahou Dun, Xing Daorong immediately spurred his horse and galloped forward, shouting excitedly from afar.
Li Hongsheng and some of the clansmen who had entered the mountain with him earlier were at the rear of the procession. Having carried these fully loaded burdens for nearly thirty miles of mountain trails, they were genuinely exhausted. Therefore, once the welcoming clansmen relieved them of their loads, they walked at the back to catch their breath.
Today was International Children's Day, and the students were on holiday. Hao Shuai and Wang Siyu were in the recording studio learning musical instruments under Chen Xianhe's tutelage. The poised and elegant Qin Yuwei sat to one side, her arms crossed over her chest as she watched them practice, a posture that made her already magnificent chest appear even more impressive.
"I remember your name is Red Maiden, right? Well then, tell me, who leaked the information to you?" Hall Master Mo Li chuckled and said.
"Absurd! Did I plunge the common people of the world into misery and suffering? The wars among the six states lasted for hundreds of years, and countless common people died—why was there never such a remark from you? I unified the six states and restored peace and stability to the people of the world. Is that what you call fierce and tyrannical?"
Another giant flying boat arrived here, carrying tens of thousands of cultivators searching everywhere. They searched meticulously for a full fifty years, without missing a single fraction of an inch, yet they still found absolutely nothing.
If the opponent had gone all out or simply manifested physically, his task of killing Lord Ba would not have been so smooth.
Following the sound, he looked over and saw a gigantic floating island with a radius of ten miles looming vaguely in the distant mist, looking much the same as the previous floating islands.
Moon was encountering such a green-tea beast for the first time. Clearly, he hadn't spoken any harsh words, but somehow everything sounded deeply uncomfortable.
Gu Han let out a faint sigh. He had not expected that after his death in the final battle all those years ago, Luo Wannian would actually help him with such a favor.
Yet, however much Lu Zhaoyun resented it in her heart, she had no alternative. Unable to refuse, she had no choice but to change her clothes and hurry over to the Princess's Manor.
Although Wen Zexi did not know what a hot pot was, he was always industrious, watching what the other males were doing and following suit.
Qin Hohe's eye rims turned red as she stared in a daze. Hearing Zhou Tianyi's cries of "Mother" growing increasingly distant, her legs turned to jelly, and she nearly fainted.
Moreover, to ensure the quality of the seeds, no matter how agonizing and feverish the torment became, they refrained from resolving it themselves.
With the strength of a Soul General, Zou Yi would not have found it difficult to break free from the spiderweb; it would only have required a brief moment. Yet he failed to consider that those arrayed against him were the chosen ones of their generation—geniuses among geniuses—who held absolute mastery over combat awareness.
"Do you want to go out with him that badly? In the middle of the night?!" Did she have any idea what that implied?
The surroundings were an absolute mess. The site of their battle was right at the village entrance of Hetou Village near Yuehe Town. At this moment, all the large trees, roads, and houses at the village entrance had vanished completely, leaving behind only pits in the ground, collapsed walls, broken bricks, and tiles.
Han Yuyun went over to greet Ye's father and mother, addressing them as mom and dad, before walking toward Ye Xuan and Ye Jun.
To ensure that his clansmen would forever retain the fierce blood of warriors, Kakule had established a special rule: anyone desiring fame and power had to fight in the Underworld Pit Arena. Only by defeating someone of high renown, nobility, or superior strength could one usurp another's noble rank.
