Chapter 24

Having such a cheerful and eccentric younger sister, Lin Feng was at a loss for words, able only to shake his head and sigh that this girl must have forgotten to take her medicine again this morning.

The subtle change in Wei Tianya's expression naturally could not escape Han Yi's eyes. Han Yi closed in rapidly, his sharp claws lunging straight for the crown of Wei's head. The distance between the two was mere meters, and before Wei Tianya could even react, Han Yi's claws had locked onto him, rendering him completely immobilized and afraid to move.

Prefect Bao added considerately that he could ask Mr. Sun to write a few herbal prescriptions to regulate his body, noting that winter was indeed dry and parched, especially for young men full of hot blood and vigor.

Far away on the other side of Tianhai City, within the courtyard where Cheng Ling resided, a figure clad in black flashed swiftly inside.

Before Ma Niu and Pang Zi could react, they crashed heavily to the ground, producing a muffled thud.

Lin Xiangwan hung up the phone, immediately scrambled out of bed, groped around to grab a pajama jacket and draped it over her shoulders, felt for the white cane beside her bed, and hurried downstairs.

A protection zone cannot be established casually; since it is a pet protection zone, the pets within it must possess a certain value that warrants protection.

Fortunately, the hollow feeling within her body gradually receded, and her spiritual energy had recovered somewhat, finally giving her the capital to protect herself.

Jin Lufeng moved with extra care when getting out of bed, knowing that Jian Rui had been exhausted the night before. He didn't want to disturb her rest, nor did he want to see her crying and sniffling when she saw him off.

The four of them exchanged glances, their teeth grinding audibly. Then, letting out a joint battle cry, they gripped stones in their hands and lunged at Lin Meng together.

The two stolen files were just as he had anticipated—they were the target of that same hacker from before. He had originally thought the hacker would know when to retreat in the face of difficulty, but he never expected him to lie low, stage a comeback a hundred days later, and strike with absolute precision on the first attempt.

Lu Chengxuan gritted her teeth, her face pale. Cold sweat beaded on her forehead, and pain wracked her body intensely, yet she stubbornly pushed Zhao Zhiling away.

Khalif led the Romulan soldiers charging forward, only to find a trench blocking their path that could not be cleared by a single leap. Furthermore, ahead of them, the Sabine villages had prepared wooden barriers and long spears, waiting for their arrival.

Since it was still early for the meal, the other elders of the Shangguan family had not yet arrived. Yang Xiao and the others sat in the Shangguan family's main hall, the two families chatting casually back and forth.

Qingtian's eyes widened in sheer astonishment. One must know that making an entire celestial domain completely submit is exceedingly difficult. Even after defeat, few tribes are willing to surrender because it represents utter humiliation; many would rather have their entire clan slaughtered than bow to others, let alone an entire celestial domain.

This was also Yang Chao's exact train of thought at that moment. Therefore, upon securing a "pentakill," he immediately rushed back to the mid-lane to regroup with his teammates.

Over in the Qingning Courtyard, Lu Chenghuan had sustained injuries. Her cries and curses had not ceased for a moment from the time she returned to the courtyard until her wounds were dressed. Her mother was no better; instead of offering the slightest word of comfort, she joined Lu Chenghuan in hurling continuous curses at Lu Chenmiao, dragging Lu Chengxuan into the tirade along the way. It was truly vexing to listen to.

The two hours of rest at noon were the best time of day. With the summer heat oppressive, no one wanted to wander around, and with Liang Yashao keeping watch outside, it was simply a pity that time was already short, yet Lu Chengxuan still had to carve out moments to look over these useless illustrated volumes and deal with Liang Yashao.

To an elite operative, these things are fundamentally unimportant; what matters is the conditions you create.

"Drop your weapons! Everyone drop your weapons!" The other chieftains issued similar orders to their private guards.

Regardless of how the foreign energy bombarded it with the force of a million troops, splashing away brilliant sprays of light, it could never breach this defensive barrier condensed from pure soul energy.

Chu Yunxi gently rubbed her rounded belly and glanced around. By now, the crowd had dispersed, and those remaining were all her own people.

The coachman quickly pulled back his reins, startled. Had he failed to check his whip and let it lash down as the horses bolted, Bai Qianqian probably wouldn't be standing here safe and sound.

Pity that Second Young Master Qian, having lost his life force, would never understand the reason behind all this.

Wei Yining's offensive stance suddenly softened at this moment as she watched the person before her step closer and closer. Facing such a situation was truly agonizing.

"Zhiquan, if I give you three divisions of troops, are you confident you can defeat the Restoration Army?" After a brief moment of contemplation, Yuan Shikai cast a piercing gaze toward the Minister of War, Duan Qirui. Standing behind him, Yuan Keeding maintained a calm expression, though his hands, hanging by his waist, suddenly clenched into tight fists.

She tried to close her eyes, attempting to lock onto this monster with her sixth sense. What she needed now was the element of surprise, because she had virtually no other way to counter it; this might well be her only option. Facing such a predicament was the most helpless feeling in the world.

"Slander, this is naked, blatant slander..." a member of the board roared during the subsequent meeting.

Most of these so-called favored sons of heaven present belonged to the younger generation. In their lifetime, they might not even witness the majesty of the eight dragons, for the eight golden dragons represented eight supreme masters.

"Benefactor! Are you asking us to become regional distributors?" Suddenly recalling what Xialiu had said in the county town, Yang Tian looked pleasantly surprised.

Yet if that were truly the case, perhaps the Crown Prince had already found the divine body of a celestial god and achieved godhood through it.

Watching the illusionary serpent dodging agilely in mid-air, a trace of mockery flashed across the giant snake king's massive head. Then, its cavernous maw snapped open, its two thick fangs gleaming with an eerie, cold light, and it began a ferocious suction directed right at the flying serpent.

Doing business with HUG? Qishan's gaze lingered on the third room's entrance, resting on Wang Linyu, who was dressed entirely in black Givenchy, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Dun Gui nodded. She trusted Zhang Yifan implicitly; since he said those people could be eliminated, they undoubtedly would be.

"Teasing people like that, is it really that fun? You don't even consider other people's feelings." Zhang Lu knew Bi Yao's personality and didn't really mind.

Ye Suiyun smiled with a hint of embarrassment. At first, his sole obsession was just to save Douyar without thinking things through much. Now he realized he had genuinely performed a great good deed, which made the extreme peril and near-death experience of the previous night well worth it.

Barely five minutes into the opening whistle, both teams had already launched an attack, and Mingyang High School even managed a threatening shot on goal. If not for the goalpost coming to the rescue, the score would already be zero to one.

Chen Feng hadn't sustained any serious injuries, though he had expended a tremendous amount of energy battling Song Rui. He instructed Lu Daoling to check on Ouyang Bo's condition, then walked toward the five Western Regions martial artists.
