Volume 1, Chapter 22: It Is Said That This Woman Is Ruthless

Yesterday, seeing someone flying in the sky, he fantasized that it might be the National Master Qiu Ming who had returned, so he had people make preparations in secret. Even if this demon had not been killed by the National Master, he intended to have his men attempt to finish it off if it were wounded.

In the past, it would have been difficult for Qiu Ming to create a blessed land, but with his vastly improved mastery of arrays, he could accomplish it with a simple spirit-gathering formation.

Cong Huifang should perhaps be thankful—thankful that she did not see the scratch marks on Zheng Chenheng’s back, thankful that she did not see the traces of love on Xichen’s body. Otherwise, she would surely have been terrified, frantic, and broken.

If not for the fact that the previous Tzimisce Grand Duke had defied the rule of the Vampire King and conspired to rebel, creating a rift between the Tzimisce Clan and that Vampire King, the Tzimisce Clan would likely have already risen far above the other twelve clans.

However, the concern that the Ancient One displayed did not completely vanish. As she lifted her head to look at Patch again, her calm and gentle voice sounded once more.

"Heh, Zhao Qinhan again. It was clearly he who destroyed all our happiness; it was clearly he who snatched away everything that belonged to us. And now, look, I have become the sinner." Hearing me say this, he suddenly showed a slight flicker of emotion.

Tang Ya’s words stirred something in Wu Lipeng’s heart. It didn’t seem like a lie, and he couldn’t help but glance at Chen Tianyi with a faint smile. Perhaps Chen Tianyi simply wanted to push Tang Ya aside so he could discuss the partnership details with him alone.

"I, I, I worked as an accountant in the United States for a period of time." Tang Ya did not dare to claim she was a financial expert, but the profession of accounting fell under the umbrella of finance; at least, it wouldn’t reveal any flaws.

"I told them long ago that harsh interrogations would be meaningless against you, but Director Fury still ordered them to try everything on you..." Coulson said with a hint of helplessness.

"Showa! No!" Gong Qianzhu let out a sharp cry. Seeing the blade of the cold, gleaming long sword already aimed at Showa’s heart, she acted without a second thought, rushing forward to embrace Showa. The next moment, the icy blade pierced deeply into her own body. Her mind went blank, and in that instant, she felt no pain at all.

Before the sun had even risen, the crowd was already immense, packing the entire arena so tightly that not even water could pass through.

After a brief self-introduction, Xi Xiu scanned the electronic resumes of the five hundred people, gaining a clear understanding of the situation.

"Sterilization medication?" Kun Tai murmured, his eyes twitching, filled with a despair that defied belief.

Qing Heming sent all these images, along with the video captured by the robots, to Qing Zhixun, adding a string of question marks at the end.

Although the identity of the wisher remained, there was no need to worry that he would threaten the safety of the Divine Dragon.

This was because that ruthless man, Qin Hongjun, had turned all the intelligent life forms in these four star systems into immortal robots.

Brandy’s shouting and screaming eventually attracted the staff and the resident medical personnel.

After easily disposing of these pests, he was still drenched in sweat. The crisis on Mount Long was far more terrifying than he had imagined. Looking up at the blood-red full moon, he even had the feeling that an unknown entity was monitoring everyone and everything on Mount Long through that crimson light.

"Concubine Deng is naturally intelligent, so why be so humble?" Shang Liyuan looked at Deng Li, who spoke with humility but showed none on her face, and felt a touch of admiration for the woman.

Seeing that King Yaozhou had taken her words to heart, Yao Die felt slightly more at ease; only if King Yaozhou was truly concerned could this matter be handled well.

Yet, Wei Yangyang simply loved the things he made. No matter how bizarre the clothing or jewelry, she was willing to wear them, never caring about the gazes of others. Encouraged by this, Shen Mingyuan became even more enthusiastic in his work. As a result, most of the garments and accessories Wei Yangyang wore were one-of-a-kind in this world.

The two sides, each harboring their own secret agendas, began to confront one another. However, as Goguryeo was relatively weak, "King Sanshang" Gao Yanyou primarily adopted a defensive stance to protect his borders and appease his people, planning to wait for an opportunity to act.

Iftikhar Dal was the commander of the city, with ten thousand men under his command—partly troops of the Fatimid Caliphate and partly fanatics who had learned of the infidel siege.

But as someone who had been through it all—and for Habara, it wasn't just a matter of having lived through it—he knew very well what the most important quality was for a ninja.

However, Lord Guan was a hero of the Three Kingdoms era, and countless dynasties had risen and fallen since his time. Could the Martial Saint mentioned by his brother really be Lord Guan? Furthermore, Dugu Yifang had seen the term "Martial Saint" somewhere else before.

Having grasped these two concepts, Shisui did not ask Habara about the specific methods he intended to use.

This distance seemed as though they were in a hurry, yet upon closer inspection, they had not strayed too far from Sumu.

After Emperor Ming, Cao Rui, ascended the throne, he shifted to clever tactics, forcing his four regents to keep each other in check in order to maintain a balance of power between the imperial clan and the noble families.

However, seeing Talo’s performance in the carriage—like a sapling that had been diligently watered and had grown robustly when one wasn't looking—he felt a profound sense of gratification.

Seeing that it had already grown dark, Aunt Wu feared it would be unsafe for Li Shishi and the others to return home too late, so she urged Li Shishi to take the child and leave quickly.

Chen Mo watched her slightly skeptical expression; it truly wasn’t he who had called the police, yet those officers had been "led" there by him.

Faced with this sudden questioning, Du Baxi did not rush to respond, his eyes merely fixed on Fan Ru, carefully observing his reaction.

This was the second time Qiu He had seen the Lu residence. The scene this time truly shocked her. Putting aside the urge to stand, she hurried forward, crouched down to check the pulse, then pulled back Miss Lu’s eyelids. Seeing Miss Lu’s brow furrow, she arched her own—what was going on here?

"Damn you! You still have the nerve to bring that up. From head to toe, except for hitting your face, I can't feel any pain no matter where I hit you! If I hit you anywhere else, wouldn't I be the one losing out..." The Mud Monkey said with a look of frustration, looking at his own intact right hand as if recalling something.

Forget it, better not disturb her, lest she grow more and more resentful of him. He placed his phone back on the bedside table and was just about to turn off the light to rest when the phone chimed with a text message. He hurriedly sat up from the bed and reached for the phone he had just put down.

What Gan Zhuozhi wanted Yang Jiuai to do was to clear the obstacles on the road and act as the vanguard. Now that they were facing the Liao army head-on, the goal had naturally been achieved.
