Volume 1, Chapter 39: Eve of the Great Battle

The staff member, assuming I was speaking to her, asked with a smile which aspects I was dissatisfied with.

"Murder! Help, murder!" A jarring cry rang out from outside, reaching everyone’s ears.

Once she finished speaking, she tapped her keyboard, and the projection of the company’s real-name registered shareholders immediately appeared on the screen.

Gu Yingdeng stood on tiptoe, her entire body nestled in Shen Shilin’s arms. With her hands clasped around his neck and her eyes half-closed, she flushed, soliciting a kiss from him. Shen Shilin, in turn, held Gu Yingdeng by the waist, bowing his head to kiss her as if no one else were present.

Looking at Yun Shufang, Bai Xiangyang sighed inwardly. Despite his thoughts, he felt an overwhelming reluctance to let go, unsure of how to put his feelings into words.

Cui Min’s expression changed drastically. Two Northern Army generals forced him back with steel blades and searched his entire body. They removed his jade belt, unclasped it, retrieved a bright yellow silk scroll from within, and handed it to the vassal king.

Thinking this, Bai Qian crouched down, her fingers gently brushing against the snow, and she couldn't help but gasp.

During this period, he visited Li Kongxue many times. Although Li Kongxue remained in a state of disembodied spirit and had yet to grasp the "Devouring Soul" truth or the "Asura" intent mentioned by the mysterious voice, he had at least gained something, preventing his spirit from further fading.

If Chen'er were to have a mother with a tarnished reputation—jealous, vicious, and intolerant—do you think his marriage to Princess Duomin would still be possible?

Su Qin, since you do not like me getting close to Su Meng, I shall do exactly that. Not only that, but I will make you pay for the humiliation you dealt me today; I will turn your Su family upside down.

Yue'er felt a bitter ache in her heart. It wasn't jealousy, but rather a sense of worthlessness—two years of her youth wasted, and for what? A few measly coins?

The Heaven-Extinguishing Alliance was completely baffled. If the fact that the big man had attacked his own people earlier could be dismissed as madness, how were they to explain the appearance of another one now?

All the guards kept their eyes fixed on Jun Yang, eager to see what exactly made this man, whom even their clan leader referred to as "Young Master," so formidable.

Himmler naturally agreed with generosity. Although he despised Jews and had been orchestrating their slaughter, they now possessed a new utility—they could contribute to Germany—so he was willing to spare them for the time being.

Although the wound had been bandaged by Sisi, the blood inside remained turbulent, staining the purple garment beneath the bandages crimson.

Yue'er had paid no mind to this, and when her mother asked, she answered vaguely. Her mood was so low that she didn't want to speak further. She waited reluctantly for her father to return, had him take her pulse, pack a few herbal pills, and then bid her family farewell.

Seeing that the table was nearly full of dishes, Shu'er and Yun Li truly could not swallow another mouthful. Because there was such a wide variety, they had tasted a bite or two of each, either intentionally or unintentionally, which had already left them feeling quite full.

Legend has it that the Thousand-Year Lotus grows in caves and blooms for a thousand years without withering; boiling its petals into a broth and drinking it can grant eternal youth and beauty.

Just as he was about to rush to the Heavenly Prefecture to meet Xiao Guo, news arrived that Xiao Guo had gone on a killing spree in Vientiane City and established a rogue cultivator alliance called "Heaven's Inquiry." Later, a barrage of news about Xiao Guo followed, leaving Li Guang in a state of shock, unsure of where Xiao Guo actually was.

Tu Fei had just advanced his Corpse Control Technique to the intermediate level: Mental Control. His current ability allowed him to mentally command a greater number of war-corpses.

From the moment he entered until he sat down, the Fourth Brother’s eyes never left Lu Qinghe, as if they hadn't seen each other in a long time. Yet, they had last met two months ago when he specifically went to Suoyang City to see her. Even then, he told everyone he was just passing through, acting rushed both upon his arrival and departure.

He patted Lu Qinghe on the shoulder and chatted with Ding Fengyi and the others, describing the general situation of the teaching volunteer program in Sichuan.

"Stop laughing! Stop laughing!" Having said this, Tuoba Jun turned serious again. He pulled Feng Qingru tightly into his arms, shielding her from the incoming blades and swords.

Nangong Li looked at Xiaoyao Yu with skepticism. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, she really wanted to try it.

This was a mother from the Lulu Kindergarten, holding her child and demanding to withdraw from the school.

By evening, Lu Qinghe finally understood the meaning of the words Lu Yichen had said to her at noon.

Of course, there were several times more houses in Lin Gu Village than in previous years, but the architectural style remained unchanged, continuing the retro Republic of China aesthetic.

I naturally sensed her goodwill and returned her smile. I knew she was aware that I could see her, so I stopped pretending otherwise and responded directly to her.

Wang Yu was somewhat worried that Feng Chuchu might have encountered danger, which was why Gao Yun had sent someone to deliver a letter.

"Are we being locked up here just because of this?" Yang Yujie couldn't help but complain.

Once we were prepared, we set off together and arrived at the nightclub where Albert was hunting. Upon entering, we saw the guy flirting with a busty woman by the bar.

Suddenly, a thunderous, sonorous sound of the Dao emanated from the depths of the Daoist Temple. The rolling echoes vibrated incessantly, causing even Jiang Nan to lose his footing, his heart filled with alarm.

After a long while, he finally reached the place where the Daoist of Silence was hiding: the Abyss of No-Dao. Jiang Nan looked ahead and was left speechless. The Abyss of No-Dao had truly become a massive chasm, filled with the potent aura of the decay of the Great Dao—a crater blasted open when the Primal Bell shattered.

Gray Changhong seemed to realize something and vaguely sensed this was all a misunderstanding. He stood still, wanting to explain. He was standing near the door, and by stepping out of the line, he happened to block the exit.

As for Xing Yue, she handed all the planning directly to Bard. That very evening, every interstellar network, news media outlet, and television station of the Ailamu family broadcast an announcement.
