Volume 1, Chapter 23: Caring for Him

With the greatest obstacle now overcome, the rest is merely a matter of gradually rooting out the Xitianan faction. As for Li Shimin, it goes without saying: the hot pot was so spicy that he barely ate much of it. Most of the meat ended up in the bellies of Li Yuan and Chen Fei. Though he was not full, he felt too embarrassed to speak up. Hu Chun would occasionally return to her maiden home to scavenge for food to fill her own belly, though naturally, she would offer a small token of respect to her elders upon returning. At the moment she turned away, a flicker of gloom appeared in her eyes, and the words her father had spoken during her youth echoed in her mind. Itachi remained calm, addressing Uchiha Fugaku’s questions only by picking out the less significant points to answer. Elder Wu had gone to bed early; his vitality had been sapped too severely, leaving Chen Ning to handle the jade. This was the Demon Suppression Division, an institution dedicated to maintaining the stability of the Great Qin; its primary duty was to slay demons and monsters, though it certainly had other side businesses as well. Two men in suits were engaged in an earnest conversation. Finally, the older man intended to leave, but the younger man pressed his hand down, seemingly having made a firm decision, and then nodded. Andrei was quite enthusiastic in welcoming Lynn this time, and the orderly was well-prepared, serving a steaming cup of coffee—with sugar and milk added—as soon as he sat down. After tasting it, Lynn suddenly had a strange feeling: as if every orderly at the base knew his preferences for coffee. She retreated a few more steps, while Ye Tianyu watched her flee with a heavy heart. Her white dress swayed in the sea breeze, casting a pale color that was reflected in his eyes, which were equally desolate and white. By the time the Arab army emerged from the desert, more than half of their two hundred thousand soldiers had transformed from cavalry into infantry. Even those who still had horses found their mounts had long since lost their spirit and vigor; how could they still gallop across the battlefield? Following the direction of Parsel’s finger, Water Sound Island was a relatively large floating island surrounded by rings of clouds, with several waterfalls cascading down its lush, green surface. Since the operation was not aimed at attacking the leaders of the allied nations, it was a logical assumption that there must have been other objectives. Li Longsan personally poured a cup of tea for Sun Baolai with a smile. This move left Sun Baolai bewildered, thinking to himself, "Wasn't I kidnapped? Could it be that even kidnappers have become so polite and kind these days?"

After moving the items into the villa, Jin Hegu was drenched in sweat. Wan Yuan made him tea, but Jin Hegu did not want to stay in such an environment for another second; he found an excuse and slipped away immediately. Driving back to the company, Guan Xiaorou saw his complexion looked rather poor and dared not ask anything. Linlin smiled but said nothing, merely hugging Mumu’s neck, evidently overly dependent on her. If even the Immortal Medicine King displayed such an expression, could it be that a major catastrophe had occurred in this True Realm? But for now, he could only wait at the end of an era of stagnation, waiting for the next explosion to lead humanity toward a more glorious future. Situ Qianjun understood: Jiang Tianchen was a madman. If he dared to curse the Five Elements Palace, killing him would be even more casual. Moreover, in her eyes, no one had the qualifications to make Murong Xue compromise herself like this, let alone Shen Yi, who was merely a high school teacher with some musical talent. Six thousand crossbowmen had actually managed to block the charge of five thousand Lingxi cavalry, which reminded Ma Sui of that great battle deep in the grasslands fought by Li Ling of the Han Dynasty. Kim Young-sam looked around anxiously, finding the atmosphere rather strange, which made him even more certain that these pirates had attacked the Deputy Envoy of the Tang Mission; otherwise, there would be no reason for such shock. The unknown is what people fear most, especially the faint smile on Shen Yi’s face, which seemed to suggest he controlled everything, making Klaus feel incredibly heavy-hearted. At this moment on Garcia Island, the air was thick with tension and soldiers were gathering—all National Defense Forces sent from South Ladan to ensure Zhao Yan’s safety. "That's simple. Just call one of the heroes out from your system space; they can sense other heroes," Ye said. Although he was incredibly excited to meet Lin Yanwu again and had many things to tell her, just as Shen Hui had said, it was not the right time. Subsequently, the bald man only saw a silhouette before his vision went black; he died on the spot, kicked to death by that figure. Sun Wukong gripped the Hell Golden Staff with both hands and struck the fireball condensed by the Flame Dragon. The fireball exploded, and both men retreated several dozen meters.

"I'm sorry, Meimei." With a face full of apology, he had a heap of words to say in his heart, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his words failed him, and he could only manage a single "I'm sorry." There was an indescribable weariness and fear in that voice. Shen Yifeng could see that Hua Qianli had been very restless over the past two days, but he asked nothing, and she said nothing. He needed time to summon the courage to have a showdown with Qianli. Before three seconds had passed, she hurried off again, running toward the two experts while the snow dust was still lingering. After this hall was destroyed by a single sword strike from Baili Jinglong at Qin Jiuge’s request, Ye Zhenwu had already ordered it to be rebuilt. Therefore, Duanmu Ling now felt more than just the previous fondness and curiosity toward Duan Ke; she felt a great deal of gratitude. Wishing to thank Duan Ke, she naturally did not mind waiting for him in his office. She flew out first, brandishing her magical artifact, the Cold Jade Whisk, and struck at the barrier. Seeing her do this, the others also flew out one after another, attacking the Wu Hook barrier. In an instant, various colors of brilliance burst forth, dazzling to the extreme. Objectively speaking, others would be more inclined to think of the Third Brother as open-minded, deeply affectionate toward his kin, and loyal to the point of self-sacrifice. "Those who walk within the Forest of the Dead are either immensely powerful or absolute madmen. Which of these two types is not confident?" Bai Qi said. Meng Jue still ignored him. The longer he failed to kill him, the more impatient he became. At this moment, he forcibly split the three clusters of flame into six. Standing at the entrance of the restaurant, Qiao Yimo frowned and hesitated for a second or two—was the location sent by Morita wrong?
