39. Water Bamboo Shoots Stuffed with Minced Meat
Liuli could not help but admire her ability to instantly shift back to a gentle and virtuous state after being "humiliated" by Qi Yunhao. She ignored the question of whether the woman had come to visit Qi Yunhao or herself, focusing instead on probing her true state of mind.
He was well aware of the significance of Zhang Liao’s presence at Shoujiang City. At the same time, he knew that if Helian were to commit his full strength against Zhang Liao, it would be impossible for Zhang Liao to withstand an assault from the entire Xianbei tribe. Lu Zhi knew, at the very least, that he would be unable to handle such a force himself.
"Comrade Mingda, Comrade Deming, let it go. Don't worry about him. Whatever the matter, we can discuss it later; the task at hand is what matters most." After listening to Zhang Xianyi, Fang Mingda nodded, and just as he was about to speak further, Gui Anhe chimed in.
A shrill, piercing scream erupted from Hang Qingfeng’s black primordial spirit. He had always held himself in high regard, viewing Luo Bei and the others as nothing more than ants. Now that his physical body had been nearly obliterated in an instant, forcing his spirit to exit, he had descended into complete madness.
"We know," the three said in unison, their stance remarkably unified. They understood that Lin Feng knew who the commander was; it would be unthinkable for a songwriter not to know who was performing their music.
Originally, it was not the place of a father-in-law to speak to her about such matters, but he simply could not find a better pretext to broach the subject at the moment.
The last person to arrive was Wu Bin of the Feitu Sect. Thinking back to his past life, where he died as a result of others' schemes—a tragic end for someone revered by the world as a God of War—he was determined in this life to see what fate awaited his former military strategist. Unable to resist the urge, he rushed over to join the spectacle.
The Zhang family’s fields and house had been purchased with money from Zhang Dahai and Hongmei. Yet, the moment Zhang Dahai died, Hongmei and Xiutao were driven out, accused of having cursed him to his death.
Given the current situation, Ying Hua naturally would not allow such thoughts to dominate his mind.
"Are you sure you intend to leave only five hundred men?" Dai Yun asked Ye Tao with a frown as Zhou Rui organized the others for the drawing of lots.
She had originally considered that if Jin Se failed to win over the Meng family, she would simply foist Jin Se onto the Bai family, but now, she no longer had any such concerns.
This impression was a feeling unlike any other; in short, it was the sense that Bai Sha was truly unique.
He was practically gritting his teeth: "Son, Dad knows he was wrong." His hand, patting his son's back, applied force in a secret attempt to pull him up.
It was only after Bai Sha mentioned it that Li Yao recalled that all intelligence gathered in the past had to be compiled into files and archived. It was no wonder Zheng Zhilong knew about this.
"Goumei" was merely an affectionate nickname, not her real name. It was used so frequently that she eventually grew accustomed to it and accepted it. As for her true name, it was lost to history, and she had never spoken it herself.
Li Mingshuo and Li Moge were secretly delighted. They had feared that Dong'er would perform poorly with these improvised lies and had been on tenterhooks, ready to cover for her. To their surprise, she performed a thousand, ten thousand times better than they had imagined.
When the dragon's body reached ninety-nine zhang, it transformed into a mass of fire, curling up within a blaze of intense, high-temperature flames that even Ao Zhen, who possessed the Southern Brightness Departure Fire, dared not approach.
A clamor suddenly erupted at the top of the stairs. Meng Junran instinctively grabbed Su Chengyue and ducked into his room.
Bai Sha looked at Yin Zhi, feeling quite happy, lamenting that he had ultimately missed what was called the "last train."
The priest thought he had concealed himself well, but unfortunately, before Yin Jiuchen, his disgusting, true face had long since been laid bare.
"Has the Reaper gone mad? He even brought out an airplane?" Everyone fled in a frenzy, knowing it was impossible to clear the area within a few seconds.
"Done!" Just as Yu Hao began to feel his strength waning, Sun Zihan finally deciphered the internal structure of the entire spaceship. Although she could not control it, it was already enough.
A blue ring of light, a hundred meters in diameter, appeared before them. People walked onto it one after another and vanished as if by magic; it must have been a teleportation device.
A hurricane mixed with shards of ice erupted from its mouth. The momentum was massive, freezing the air into solid ice and carving a tunnel of ice through the sky.
Dai Chun had come looking for Ye Zi. He was unwilling to let her go just like that, and having reflected on it, he realized he was indeed in the wrong for hitting her and locking her in the room that day.
Zhou Bin started the car and watched her walk slowly ahead; he did not drive forward, and no one came to pick her up.
That was an energy cloak condensed from the immense power overflowing from his body, bearing a striking resemblance to the aura Yu Hao displayed when unleashing his Battle Qi Explosion and Ultimate Slaughter.
"That mission order! We must get our hands on it, no matter the cost!" Fang Baihua said with a smile.
Xuan Bing returned to fight the demon race. In the end, neither side gained the upper hand; the Demon King was sealed once more, but the Spirit race was nearly wiped out.
Yet, Leng Yue always maintained an unhurried, calm, and steady demeanor, which made Leng Chi feel as if every conversation with him was a clash between two armies.
Only a few cultivators who considered themselves powerful remained in place, looking at the fleeing crowd with suspicious expressions, asking what had happened.
