I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.

The movement of that arm was clearly slow, yet Ye Ling found that he was unable to react at all.

“What exactly is a puppet?” Seeing Xiao Yu’s serious expression, Wei Xian asked from beside him. Knowing oneself and the enemy is the key to victory; if you don’t even know what kind of opponent you’re facing, how can you fight?

Now that the Ming dynasty controlled only half its territory, no one believed there was a chance to reclaim lost lands. As long as they could maintain a boundary with the Qing across the river, many were content. Thus, the strategy of using captured enemies to quell rebels was unanimously agreed upon, even though Shandong and Henan were left vulnerable and no troops were dispatched to reclaim them.

“I’ve already seen them. You all continue your discussion; I’ll go meet them.” Gaia maintained a casual attitude despite the arrival of the Order of Sequence.

“I won’t repeat myself three times! Get lost!” Xiao Yu flicked his finger lightly, sending Huzi flying with a powerful force. With a loud crash, several beds were toppled before he hit the ground, struggling to get up with weak cries.

As the saying goes, “Nobody is perfect,” or more simply, “To err is human.”

Xu Meng herself ranked within the top twenty in the world and, with years of gaming experience, had an extraordinary understanding of the archer class. Take the traps she set earlier, for example: although the three skills were deployed almost simultaneously, their sequence was of great significance.

White Lotus clearly didn’t understand my humor and even apologized, leaving me at a loss for words. White Lotus grew somewhat silent as well.

Many who never truly intended to resign deeply regretted it, yet no one dared to rise secretly under the watchful eyes of all.

After quietly speaking with Xi Xin for a while, the master and servant entered the room just as Xu’s mother was chatting with Qian Ma.

Approaching the Ice Spirit Sacred Tree was effortless, yet Duan Qiu still refrained from picking its fruit.

Tu Feng believed his plan was flawless, without a single loophole. The moment Lihong prepared to strike, he was certain to make him pay a heavy price.

“Tianqi, don’t worry. Brother will teach him a lesson tomorrow and avenge you,” Chu Tianyu replied without hesitation.

With that, Lin Lang struck his mustard seed pouch. A three-legged round cauldron appeared out of thin air, enclosing the ice block containing Ye Feng. The lid slammed shut with a thunderous bang, sealing every gap completely.

Once the flying fortress arrived, exploring the city would become much easier, and uncovering its secrets far simpler.

“Thanks for your hard work. From here on, leave it to us!” Zoe’s voice sounded nearby.

All was silent; not a single star shone in the sky, and the moon hid behind clouds. On the empty land, only Ye Feng held Yan Ningshuang’s lifeless body, howling in anguish. Whether from the pain of bone replacement or the torment of his soul, it was impossible to say—perhaps both.

Chen Che awoke suddenly, looking up to find the Stone Marrow empty—he had just had a strange dream. Laughing softly and stretching, a sudden unease came over him. Only then did he realize that since Xiao Zu left, the once-refreshing atmosphere of the Stone Marrow had grown increasingly oppressive.

“Bang...” A heavy hammer strike echoed. The statue remained intact, as if mocking her feeble helplessness.

Now, Claw Divination Island and Pine Forest Dala Island were no longer bathed in red light; instead, they were filled with enchanting scenery. Liu Tian had just finished gathering intelligence before entering a room.

Though the chance of an interstellar war on Earth was slim, it was better to be prepared.

Fortunately, the outer defense wall was shielded by the Eight Desolations Transposition Formation, holding back the attack from the Serpent-Head Beast General’s flames. Otherwise, the illusionary land would have suffered heavy casualties.

A major was relatively calm because he knew Lei Zhan and the others were not terrorists; otherwise, shots would have been fired long ago. Yet their appearance was strange—every entrance and exit of the city was controlled by the military. How did they get in?

“You actually can save him.” Shangguan Xin bit her lip softly, as if wrestling with a difficult decision. After a moment, she spoke hesitantly.

Looking at the two eyeballs in my hand, a bitter feeling welled inside me—so many lives lost just for two eyes.

“Thunder Wrath Apocalypse!” Lin Fan’s only thought now was Thunder Wrath Apocalypse. He had never tested the power of this peak forbidden spell, and now was the time to try it.

He opened a drawer and took out an album inscribed with four large characters: “My Wife’s Promise.”

But this time, ever since meeting Ning Ning at the hospital, he had developed the idea that this was his son, and no matter what, he would never leave him and would always belong to him.

He dared to act so blatantly in broad daylight because he surely had powerful backing; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so arrogant as to crash into people driving a Lamborghini.

“The proud young master has company affairs to manage and no time for gaming. Besides, our original market isn’t in the game anyway, so the investment was small. Now, everything is entrusted to Young Master Fan to take over!” Bai Chen smiled slightly, lowering his voice as he spoke to Lin Fan.
