Volume 1 Chapter 40 Moved

"Lin Yu, you have a way?"

Hearing Lin Yu suggest he might try, the eyes of Mu Rou-shuang and Zhang Man-lin lit up instantly!

However, Yang Wen-hao turned around with a sneer on his face.

"What kind of joke are you making?"

"Who do you think you are?"

"I know who you are—the Liu family's betrothed son-in-law! But you’re just a bumpkin from the mountains. Do you really think you can get the War Department to do you a favor?"

Lin Yu glanced at him coldly and then rewarded him with a slap!

*Smack!*

"Ah!"

Yang Wen-hao felt as if he had been struck by an iron plate, collapsing to the ground in a pathetic heap!

Mu Rou-shuang and Zhang Man-lin were stunned by the scene. Zhang Man-lin, in particular, had never expected that Lin Yu would dare to strike Yang...

After nineteen failed attempts to hail a car, finally, an older driver with a bit of conscience, spurred by my promise of ten thousand yuan, agreed to take us to a nearby hospital.

"Thump." Xia Bi-yao broke free from You-ruo's hold and kicked her to the floor. You-ruo, undeterred, pulled back the silk quilt, grabbed one of Xia Bi-yao’s delicate feet, and began tickling her sole with her fingernails.

Ye Shao-xuan had now opened the gate to immortality and felt his body brimming with martial power. However, he could not harness it; the energy remained gathered around the Divine Seal, as if the seal were its ultimate destination, unwilling to leave.

If she hadn't learned the truth, she would never have gone behind her back to speak with Wei Ye-feng alone. She was never a secretive person, nor one who could hide things. For her to act against her nature, something significant must have happened.

"Master, please save her. She won't last another few days!" Looking at the frail and emaciated An-li-dai-er, Xuan-yuan Mu-xia truly did not want to see this girl suffer any longer, even though she had brought it upon herself.

"Those who only know how to attack from the shadows will never achieve greatness." For her, this was a hard-earned lesson. No one who achieves greatness avoids underhanded tactics, but such things corrode the soul. No one wants to know that their leader rose to power through base methods—it is a disgrace no one can afford.

A scream shattered the clamor of battle. The entire battlefield fell silent as everyone looked over to see a golden core from the Fu family pierced by a sword formed from condensed fire.

Shen Jun’s mouth opened, revealing white teeth, his eyes wide. With a burst of violent elemental energy, he slammed Li Wei against the wall, crashing through it together. Shen Jun drew his blade again and swung, severing Li Wei’s left arm. Li Wei clutched his wound, his face twisted in pain and terror.

She rubbed her eyes and glanced at the window. Still, there was no movement. To make things easier for Jun Ning-lan to come and go, she had left the window open. Now, she saw only total darkness outside, so black one could not see their own hand. Ye Zhen yawned repeatedly, unable to hold on any longer, and fell asleep with her chin propped up.

Yet, Ruan Jing-tian would not give up. Like all young people who dedicate their youth and passion to this country, there are things one must not do, and things one must do.

Ren Tian-jun asked, "You aren't even going back for Marshal Zhang's funeral?" It was indefensible, both in reason and emotion, for Zhang Ling-kong to skip the funeral of his own uncle.

Hearing these deeply insulting words, the Second Prince’s eyes widened in fury, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Wang Jiu had no particular attachment to the past, but he was at least curious about everything that happened while he slept. If he could travel to the Sacred Sect to uncover these historical secrets, it would be a pleasure.

When Song Yuan visited them in the capital years ago, she brought plenty of meat. This time, as Xiao Qing-ru and the others returned to the Northwest, Mother Xu reminded them to prepare extra gifts to return the favor to Song Yuan.

Although it sounded simple, it actually took Stephen nearly two weeks to complete.

Upon hearing this, Ji Meng curled his lips into a mocking smile and drew a red gourd from his treasure pouch. Everyone who saw it turned pale.

The Three-Treasure Jade Ruyi struck the Hunyuan Golden Diya, causing its luster to fade and making it sway precariously. The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit struck again, attempting to claim the treasure for herself.

Although President Liu was speaking out of anger, his words reminded Lin Yi that Su Han’s affairs might indeed have been helped by Gao Ming. In the past, this wouldn't have been an issue; Lin Yi could have called him immediately, but that was unlikely now.

However, nothing had officially started yet. Stephen had no need to enter that crystal wall system for the time being; everything had to wait until the Chrono-Dragon confirmed that both sides had agreed on the terms.

Oh well, since that’s the case, I’ll just keep it by my side. Even if it has no combat utility, it makes a decent mascot.

Lei Ming-xuan offered a faint smile and tucked the heart-knot away securely. His previous foul mood had vanished completely.

"Ding... Host has conquered Fenggao, the seat of Taishan Commandery, and appointed a Governor of Taishan. The system determines the host has gained a commandery and rewards one summoning chance," the system announced.

Lu Zhi, Luo Qian, Liu Bei, and another general pursued the enemy with their troops for a while before stopping. They rounded up the surrendering Yellow Turbans and captives, collected the weapons, armor, horses, and gear from the battlefield, and then returned to Julu City to station their troops.

Mo De knew at a glance he had done a good job, because there was nothing else written besides those few words. If he had truly done something wrong, there would surely be a threat about bringing his head to see him. The fact that there was only a "Hmph" at the end showed the satisfaction that was barely contained.

"Cough, cough. It was an accident, an accident. I just haven't cooked in so long that I forgot for a moment." After an awkward reply, he immediately turned the gas to full blast.

"Cough, cough!" Rong Xiu cleared his throat into his fist, stopping the loose-lipped Cui Yue-liang from babbling further.

"I told the Seventh Uncle already! I ordered ten portions of Da Hong Pao and came specifically to pick them up!" Upon hearing this, the clerk dared not delay; he turned to fetch the tea Xie Tian wanted, and after retrieving it, looked at Xie Tian politely.
