Volume 1, Chapter 23: Yugito Nii
Wei Ge recorded Liang Siqi’s image while impersonating Qin Chuyan, manipulating her into saying things that should never have appeared in the video.
"Oh? Hua’er, didn’t you see Jiu’er?" It was the Fourth Concubine, who emerged from a corner, leading her two sons.
Most cases of sudden death during training occurred in the first year, usually because the soldiers were literally worked to death by the intensity of the drills. During the three-year training period, almost every soldier had their ribs broken by wooden spears; those who hadn't were too embarrassed to call themselves soldiers of the New Army.
Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire; you cannot force someone else to do something you don’t want to do and claim it is for their own good. She had many faults, but he would never force her.
Suddenly, deafening roars erupted, shaking the very earth as if a magnitude two or three earthquake had struck, leaving everyone trembling in shock.
"It will probably arrive in a moment." She gave the makeup artist a perfunctory reply. "Is my gown ready?" Attempting to shift the topic, Mimi turned her head tentatively to scan the surroundings.
Wang Mazi felt utterly speechless. With nothing to say and no way to address the situation, he simply left the bucket of food outside the tent and walked away, muttering to himself.
Just as Li Gang was struggling with the dilemma, Tie Pi suddenly spoke up: "I have a tent." With that, he took a tent bag out of his spatial ring.
"Why did you come back? You are still a wanted fugitive. Is it safe here?" Liu Jiao’s concern clouded her judgment. Since the wide-area communication network was not yet available—meaning it only functioned within the Mingquan area—the fact that she had been contacted meant Liu Shanshan was already in Mingquan. She hadn't even realized this.
A faint, fragrant scent of tobacco drifted into her nostrils, and a wave of warmth brushed against her nasal septum. Mu Siyan frowned, looking down at Long Jingteng, who was pressing against her. Her dazed expression and watery eyes constantly hooked into his gaze.
"Biyue, finish this quickly!" A voice rang out from a powerhouse of the First Pill Palace; they knew many eyes were fixed on this location.
Leaping forward, Ye Feng charged toward his replica. At the same time, the copy moved in perfect unison, unleashing a palm strike identical to Ye Feng's own.
I saw the second captain immediately turn his head toward me, and I felt a sudden surge of killing intent.
Upon hearing the shopkeeper’s words, even someone as thick-skinned as Ye Dong couldn't help but feel a sense of embarrassment. To mask it, he hurriedly grabbed the seafood porridge on the table and began eating it in large mouthfuls.
Having said that, I could no longer suppress my exhaustion. My vision went black, and I lost consciousness entirely.
When his lackey, A-Quan, saw his boss collapse, he scrambled in a panic, holding Liu Binbin and shouting in a state of complete bewilderment.
Fu Lei immediately reached out to press his hand against Yi Wudao’s back to investigate the origin of the Imperial Dragon Sword Intent within him. But the moment his hands touched Yi Wudao, a humming sound erupted from the dantian, and Fu Lei let out a scream as he was sent flying by a rebound.
"By the way, Lin Jiayou, when you were unconscious earlier, you told me that the leader of the assassin group outside is the eldest son of the Zhao family. What exactly is going on with that?" After finishing the last drop of his cold drink, Ye Dong looked up unhurriedly and asked, looking puzzled.
The Sixth Elder’s eyes widened; he fell to his knees in disbelief, looking like a vacant fool. Meanwhile, the entire Jiang family was in an uproar.
The man in the silk robe gestured for me to follow. It would be too rude to delay further, so I rose from my seat and followed him up the stairs. The mercenaries began discussing loudly as soon as they saw me leave with him.
Old Pang felt a chill run through his body. He didn't know why, but he felt a sense of dread, vaguely sensing that this wasn't the worst-case scenario—perhaps there was something even worse to come.
However, the Great Sword God’s restraint failed this time. It seemed A-Fei’s provocation was unbearable, driving him to take physical action in retaliation.
Her right eyelid had been twitching violently ever since she arrived at Class 7-3 to find Yan Bai, and her heart was filled with an unprovoked sense of panic.
Yet, among the benefits brought by this immense internal energy, there was one thing that no standing army could match: the wrinkles at the corners of Zhao Xianzong’s eyes had vanished. He now appeared as a young man, with decades of time leaving no trace upon him.
There were quite a few people in the capital with objections, but seeing the Emperor continue to handle state affairs normally without showing any blame, they learned to stay silent.
For a moment, Ni Suanqiu had a fantasy that his group would fly toward the great snowy mountain Master Randeng had spoken of. But as they continued to soar upward, all he saw were layers of white clouds reflecting a crystalline, translucent luster.
Seeing Qin Baiying’s attitude, a wave of anger surged through An Donglai, but he ultimately held it back.
Furthermore, because the cultivation process required absorbing the subterranean malevolent energy, a considerable amount of impurities would remain in the body.
This finally put the anxious Emperor at ease, though he remained puzzled: were these two resignations merely a ploy to force him to refuse her?
"Stop targeting Baibai." Sitting in his chair, Ji Ruyu looked at Mu Yunyin and spoke the words in a cold, hard voice.
Moreover, Song Dongcheng’s attention was entirely focused on Old Madam Ji and the Ji family, so he did not notice me sitting in the corner.
At this moment, Xia Houyuan did not understand what the Fenwu Army was planning. Were they trying to make things difficult for themselves?
Sun Tiantian crossed her arms, her meticulously groomed appearance forming a sharp contrast with the disheveled Su Jiarui before her. This contrast filled her with triumph.
Having discovered the path to immortality, Lin Jiufeng could no longer be bothered to stay in the first ring. He took a single step, space rippled in layers, and he arrived at the third ring.
"I came because there was a problem with the French branch. I’m here to straighten things out, and by the way... to see you." In truth, reorganizing the company was secondary; seeing her was the main reason.
