Chapter 49

Although Yulu escaped danger this time, such a massive oversight going completely unnoticed naturally called for punishment; otherwise, Mingnan would have no way to assert his authority and keep everyone in line.

She had tried communicating with this mysterious bronze tripod on more than one occasion, but unfortunately, she rarely received any response. It felt completely chaotic and utterly bewildered, bearing no resemblance whatsoever to something with self-awareness. By now, she had given up all hope entirely.

During class, Youling slumped lazily over her desk, her gaze occasionally wandering toward Lei Fei beside her, worrying over how to plan a surprise birthday party for her.

She walked absentmindedly along the roadside until a harsh horn blared. Suddenly, her arm was yanked violently, pulling her into a warm embrace. A car brushed past her, screeching to a sudden halt as the driver stuck his head out and unleashed a torrent of fierce curses.

Meanwhile, the glamorous deputy general manager showed no trace of panic at being caught red-handed. She unhurriedly adjusted her clothes, the corners of her lips curling in a triumphant sneer, but Ji Liunian did not spare her even a single glance.

Yue Bai watched the two of them in silence without disturbing them. Although an indescribable ache lingered in his heart and envy shone in his eyes, he felt more than anything a deep sense of blessing for them.

Yes, though she dared not speak it aloud, that sentiment was undoubtedly anchored deep within her heart. Ji Liunian feared nothing else; her only fear was that she might bring disaster upon those she cared about.

At 2:00 AM on April 22nd, German forces launched a multi-pronged attack with deep spearheads, disrupting the Soviet 191st Rifle Division's overall defensive plan. By 5:00 AM, the Soviet 3rd Regiment was lured to the western outskirts of the city and surrounded for annihilation, while a detachment of the 1st Regiment was also isolated and destroyed east of Białystok.

Zuo Qihong's intentions could not have been clearer, but Ke'er was simply in no state to listen to any of that now.

The divine abilities and spell attacks unleashed by numerous cultivators landed upon it, stirring up layer upon layer of ripples, yet they proved utterly incapable of breaching the defense.

"Look, you still don't believe me; your eyes give you away!" Yan Rongrong continued relentlessly.

My mind was struck with horror. Not only me, but Fatty and Coffin Zhang as well—the three of us could do nothing more than gasp in cold air, utterly speechless.

The two of them were still wearing their respective clothes from earlier, but after washing and grooming, the overall impression they gave off felt somehow subtly different.

"Ruier, are you wearing my clothes?" Baoyuan took my hand, examining my attire closely.

Then, with a sudden burst of strength, he hoisted the shovel and hurled it straight toward that dark patch in the distance.

Chatting back and forth, they realized the conversation seemed to have circled right back to where it started. Moreover, just at that moment, they noticed the priest in the distance walking toward them, prompting both of them to instinctively cut off their dialogue.

Everyone was immensely shocked, and for a split second, Shiyu even suspected that Liu Yan was an undercover agent for the rebel army, or had been bought off by them to betray everyone.

It seemed that after years apart, the Young Master's martial arts had reached an even more unfathomable realm, far beyond what they could hope to comprehend.

"If only Master Xingluo were here," I thought to myself, shaking my head internally. Although Master Xingluo was a complete layman when it came to tomb robbing and treasure hunting, every trade has its master, and he possessed profound expertise in Feng Shui.

Seeing her dark hair fall so naturally, with her head slightly lowered as she gazed at Tangbao, Leng Youhan's expression exuded an indescribable gentleness and grace.

They had encountered the ruins of many predecessors along the way, accepted their inheritances, and met their descendants. Having journeyed this far, they finally settled down on Saturn.

This was a technological power of a sort. The moment he triggered the first wave of apocalyptic light, the experts in the most advanced technological fields on Earth immediately realized that they were light-years behind the laser emitted from this pyramid.

As for the other party's attitude, the staff at the Super Coin Sales Shop simply filtered it out. Here, everyone was equal; leaving aside an ordinary person, even if an Awakened being showed up, they would still have to play by the rules.

Bai Xi was stunned at first, and then the corners of her eyes grew moist. "Yifeng, thank you, but I can no longer wait!" Bai Xi whispered softly in her heart.

"What's this? You look down on our commander, you little punk? Let me tell you, our commander has slaughtered hundreds of Japanese devils and led us to send them running for their lives with their tails between their legs!" The bald captain glared fiercely at Sun Zhi.

Cool moonlight spilled across the earth, casting a silvery outer coat over the operational team's camp at the main Mountain-Reliance Stronghold.

Xiao Long bowed once more, then pulled along the still-dazed Li Bailong, and carrying the coffin, vanished from everyone's sight.

"That's just as well. If no one comes to rescue me, I might as well just die right here." Right at that moment, with perfect timing, a massive boulder came rolling down with a thunderous roar that shook the earth.

Come to think of it, even though the other person was far stronger than him, they ended up tumbling down just like him. The mere thought of it brought a strange sense of excitement.

Ye Ming chatted with Chen Jun for a few moments before hanging up the phone. Entrusting this matter to Chen Jun was the only way Ye Ming could feel at ease. Among his three brothers, only Chen Jun excelled at fighting; the other two—one an honest model student and the other a computer wizard—had absolutely nothing to do with brawling.

She cast a stealthy glance at the person beside her, her hand suddenly tightening as the rough texture became distinct. Warmth instantly surged from her palm into her heart. Her steps faltered slightly as she looked at him, not quite knowing how to react.

"In your current state, you can't possibly beat the two of them. Going there is nothing more than seeking your own death," Tianshiji said indifferently.

"The ranking tournament isn't over yet. Anyone wanting to climb higher had better make their move now," Silver Wolf said.

Xiao Yiran's handsome face suddenly flashed across her mind. How she wished she didn't like handsome men; that way, she wouldn't have fallen for someone she had no business loving.

Zhan Ruifei, who was watching television in the guest room, blankly stared at the disconnected phone call. After a moment of thought, a slow smile spread across his face.

"What are you going to do after lunch?" Muyichen wiped the corner of his mouth and slowly sipped his post-meal tea.

Qin Lan let out a cold snort. That person stared at her for no reason, which could only mean he wanted to give her a show of dominance. Could it be that he sensed her body tensing up when she overheard their conversation? Otherwise, why would he try to frighten her unprovoked?

Both Dugu Ming and the Heart of Nature fell into the lake, which gradually grew still once more. Within the water, the Elven race continued to search for traces of Dugu Ming.

"Um," Ye Ming originally wanted to ask if they could change how she addressed him, as he simply couldn't handle this moniker. But the words stopped at the tip of his tongue and were swallowed back down. He genuinely couldn't fathom why Li Mengyao was acting this way, but trying to figure it out would only overwork his brain cells, so he simply gave up thinking about it. Yet, he could vaguely ascertain that Li Mengyao had truly fallen for him.
