Volume 1, Chapter 64: You Walked Right Into This Yourself

"Creeak, creeak."
The Ferris wheel moved upward, emitting a slight creaking sound that was distinct and clear inside the small cabin.
It felt like a tiny saw blade scratching against Wen Yang's heart.
Things had reached this point, so she could only endure the ride until it completed a full circle.
Hearing footsteps, An'an suddenly raised her head and looked over at me. Recognizing my face, she let out a cheer and rushed toward me with excitement.
Seeing Nong Yishan open his eyes, Fairy Yuhu immediately curved the corners of her lips, her eyes filled with anticipation: "The Sect Master has been in meditation for half a month. This divination of heavenly secrets must have yielded results?"
The city gate cracked open, and four horsemen galloped out toward the exterior in single file. It seemed these four had just slain the city guards.
However, once she took in her surroundings and the figure of the young man standing just a few feet in front of her, Murong Han's face instantly flushed crimson with a deep blush. Her chin nearly touched her chest, and she kept her head lowered like a guilty child, too mortified to look up.
Only by destroying one of the Qiongqi stone beasts, rendering the remaining six unable to form their profound battle formation, would this fight have any meaning.
Yue Yu wore an apologetic expression on his face, but his heart was overflowing with joy. Zhan Xue's current combat power could indeed rival his prime state in the Golden Immortal realm.
Entrusting Gu Mei with the management of the Wang family's commercial empire while letting Li Shiniang hold the reins of the family's vast fortune—this was the ideal combination in the minds of Wang Pu and Chen Yuanyuan.
Inside, the cabinets displayed one qipao, formal dress, and Tang suit after another, in various colors and styles. There were also handmade cloth shoes and exquisite accessories such as handkerchiefs, scarves, and hats.
"No! I'm looking at some thoroughbred horses. I'm planning to buy one to raise and then enter it into the racing circuit. What do you think?" Ju'an asked casually with a smile.
Since safety was no longer an issue, I rendezvoused with the clan chief and, accompanied by him, entered a narrow and rugged cavern through a secret passage located inside the dwarf chieftain's grand hall.
I suddenly looked at Bai Ling and said, "Is this what you told him? Tell me, tell me!" I shouted.
"I don't know either, but the facts are right before us." Although Ye Xinyu was usually well-organized and calm in her actions, she could never remain level-headed when it concerned her mother. Knowing full well that the situation was bizarre, she didn't overthink it.
Zhuo Yifan did not rush to attack his opponent; before casting Blazing Flame, he first cast Moonset Meditation upon him.
"How many starboard thrusters are still operational?" Athrun's abrupt question interrupted Talia's train of thought and drew a look of disgust from her. Her reaction was only natural. Athrun had no authority to inquire about ship operations, but given the circumstances, he had no time to worry about such formalities.
Yet, he could never quite step into the Fourth-Tier Pagoda; whenever he grazed its edge, he would lose his way and not know where he went wrong.
Soldier against soldier, general against general, Feng Li against Gong Deyang, and Feng Xiang against Gong De'an. Unfortunately, in terms of numbers, the Gong family held an overwhelming advantage.
"Still, why would ZAFT launch an initial attack on Heliopolis? Wouldn't that push Orb toward the Alliance?" Kira still didn't understand.
Initially, intimidated by the terrifying reputations of the "Man-Swallowing Fog" and the "Man-Eating Island," these martial artists wisely chose to adopt a wait-and-see attitude. Not a single one dared to steer their boats closer or cross that forbidden threshold. Everyone was calculating shrewdly, hoping to watch from the sidelines while letting brainless fools serve as their vanguard and pathfinders.
Although Niu Da and Left Hand were also completely exhausted, at least the two of them could support each other and stand up. As for the eighteen bodyguards of the youth in black, all of them were groaning on the ground in pain, unable to stand.
Dong Jian closed his eyes, appearing to thoroughly enjoy this posture of lifting his head, even though that sliver of sunlight could not actually shine upon his face.
