Volume One, Chapter 44: She Is a Soul from Another World!

(1/3)
Long after that, Murong Zhi still could not describe her feelings at that exact moment. You feel like you have a good friend—so good that you hope to rely on each other and walk hand in hand for a lifetime—but suddenly, one day, that friend tells you he is going to belong to someone else.
"This war has to be fought; otherwise, there's no way to justify it." Although Chang Dong himself was reluctant to admit this, it was the plain truth. The consecutive fall of three cities not only brought grief to Qing Ruifan, but the common people also began to murmur quietly, and it was only thanks to careful control that widespread public panic had been averted.
Wang Bin had his own calculations in mind. The original purpose of this mission was merely to investigate whether Dongying had truly been bought out by the Western Realm. However, if these two initial members were to join, they might actually be able to accomplish something major.
"Hehe, Brother Fan, I learned this from you. I've been listening to your lectures for over a month now; if I still couldn't pick it up, I'd really be an utter fool," Li Weimin said happily.
"However, there are three individuals with formidable martial arts secretly protecting Maiden Wuming," the man said calmly.
Excited, Ding Huo and Baidao exchanged fiery glances, and almost simultaneously, they launched their attacks.
Beyond one thousand meters, there was only a faint and weak resonance; beyond ten thousand meters, the connection was completely severed.
Hearing someone complain with these words, Ding Huo then felt two streams of primordial force fluctuations rapidly recede into the distance.
The underlying tone was dripping with threats; on the surface, it was phrased as borrowing money, but in reality, it was no different from extortion and blackmail.
Yet this did not mean she was a woman of stone. Watching Xie Luo weep before her with a face covered in tear-streaked rain, Yu Wenshui felt a deep surge of unbearable pity in her heart.
Before the herald could raise his hands to his chest, a distinct thread of blood appeared across his neck.
Night fell, and the Li residence was shrouded in a gloomy and eerie atmosphere. Master Li sat in the main hall, his face pale and his expression filled with terror. He screamed and shouted incessantly, as though he were truly being haunted by evil spirits. The servants in the household were infected by her panic, every last one of them trembling with fear, dreading that some unclean entity might actually manifest.
"Heaven's secrets must not be divulged." Upon the straw mat, Hongjun silently closed his eyes, and after a long while, he uttered only these words in response.
Although Li Luotian was somewhat flustered by Mo Chen's sharp interrogation, he still stubbornly insisted that he had nothing to do with it.

The weather in early winter was capricious; these past few days, the wind raged relentlessly, blowing day and night without stopping, dragging the temperatures down and signaling the true arrival of winter.
Su Yun could tell at a glance that this person looked down on her from the bottom of her heart, yet due to sheer professional ethics, managed not to show it.
Su Yan wished to weaken the Murong clan, while the Qin family desired absolute dominance. As for the Qingjun Sect, their ultimate goal was to acquire that batch of imperial guardian treasures—hence, the Qingjun Sect did not mind letting the Qin family safeguard them for the time being.
And now, not only did they have a legitimate reason to go to war, but they could also avenge the provincial martial arts world, reclaim their dignity, and incidentally win the hearts of the people on a massive scale.
Two colossal forces collided repeatedly; fierce qi, true essence, laws, and even clashes of martial willpower intertwined, giving rise to infinite variations.
Si Xueyi found it extremely strange why the Demon Lord and Lu Qing'er's relationship had suddenly become so close and harmonious.
"Brother, if you go back and forth like this, there's no way you'll be able to deliver to the Hell Angels within the scheduled time," Wang Mang asked with a frown.
"It's fine, it's just two hundred million. Use it first, you can return it whenever you want," Kong Ming said very generously.
The intent of the Nine Colors was blatantly obvious: it wanted to devour Fang Xiu first, and after merging into one, deal with and eliminate Li Qiao.
Inside the suite of the Xuanxiu Hotel, a room that had been specially cleared out served as the prison where Chen Jihai was being detained.
It was not until dawn, when several soldiers were searching on their way back, that they finally discovered He Yue'e.
Days passed peacefully for a month. The calm was shattered again while I was having lunch with Gu Shishi, and I happened to run into Bo Yin coming in with a child and Xu Nian.
Shu Po was seen wearing a grey Zhongshan suit. He was neither handsome nor robust, and indeed no longer young. Judging by the traces left by the years on his face, one could tell he had lived through at least forty winters.
Even though that young Chinese man named Bolyi understood the significance of the "Führer's brooch," that was all. After all, in the eyes of a professional soldier, warriors fighting and bleeding on the front lines were what mattered most; as for those experts hiding far in the rear, they were essentially dispensable presences.

The host's smile stretched from ear to ear. Aimu pressed her lips together; although she maintained a polite smile on her face, her heart was burning with anxiety because Si Junhao still showed no intention of speaking.
I shook my head, immediately got out of bed to wash up, put on a light makeup, and drove with Qing to the school.
Perhaps the opponent had already laid out a scheme; even if Qin Nan hadn't gone to the restroom, they could have used the same method elsewhere. Fortunately, this was the film crew's set and not the outside world, otherwise it would have been even harder to handle.
Catching the trace of mockery flickering in Dan Liancheng's eyes, Yun Qiyue regained her rationality and instinctively raised a hand to wipe her mouth. Only after completing the action did she realize she had been played.
Hearing the cough, Helan Jin turned around and saw Qiao Hanying sitting up. As he rose and walked toward her, reaching out as if to touch her, he instead caught Qin Nan's wrist.
She closed the door, her hands and feet trembling violently. The clothes she was holding dropped to the floor, leaving her with the overwhelming, guilty sensation of someone caught in the middle of an affair.
With a slight start, Fengyue frowned as she watched him take a step toward her and gently reach out to stroke her face.
Even with Zhang Mengya's current decline, there was not a shred of pity in Feng Linghao's eyes. Someone who lacked even basic judgment and could harm her family without bottom lines was unworthy of anyone's forgiveness or sympathy.
"Three forces divide the world between two emperors and one king. What are your evaluations of Cao Pi and Sun Quan?" Liu Bei asked with wide-open eyes.
During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Pei clan of Hedong and the Wang clan of Langya flourished simultaneously during the same era, commonly known as the "Eight Peis and Eight Wangs"—namely, Pei Hui compared to Wang Xiang, Pei Kai compared to Wang Yan, Pei Kang compared to Wang Sui, Pei Cuo compared to Wang Cheng, Pei Zan compared to Wang Dun, Pei Xia compared to Wang Dao, Pei Bi compared to Wang Rong, and Pei Miao compared to Wang Xuan.
Through the transparent protective barrier, Min Ziguan saw hundreds of high-level cultivators arranged in a strange formation, surrounding the Eight Extremities Pagoda. Min Ziguan knew that these powerful figures must be employing some special array to deal with the unruly Eight Extremities Pagoda.
The appearance of Ling Tong and the others explained everything. Dayue said nothing more and retreated into Taigu City alongside Ling Tong, Dongfang Xiu, and the rest. Entrusted with the task of distributing the spirits of life, Dongfang Xiu could not stay in one place for too long; she rested in Taigu City for only half a day before setting off for the next stronghold.
