Chapter 29: Have I Been Too Good to You, Gu Yan?
Seeing the farce fail to end in tragedy, Situ Enquan looked even more dejected than Lian Zheng for a moment.
Qi Suniang beamed with joy, opened her mouth to be fed, and selected a piece of garlic-sauced fatty pork for Chen Yan, placing it in his bowl. The two exchanged a smile.
Although the hulls of these two 052D destroyers, currently awaiting the installation of new nuclear propulsion systems, could not be modified further, the vacated internal space was not wasted. The naval authorities could utilize this space to install additional weaponry and electronic systems.
After breakfast, the two maids went into the room to tidy up. Li Tai did not rush to leave; instead, he called Yiyu up to the top floor.
The demonic monk did not think of breaking through or killing the enemy; he simply clung to the hilltop, holding his ground. If the experts from the Heavenly Gate were to arrive, what chance of survival would they have?
The group had arrived so suddenly that Cai Siqiang had no time to prepare. However, the fact that they could use Director Lin as a mere lackey showed that they had done their homework beforehand. SAL’s backing now came from the two bosses in the city, a relationship based essentially on mutual need.
Zhou Yunran’s cry not only startled Boss Dong into a shiver but also seemed to attract the attention of the black man opposite them. He simply abandoned Zhang Yicheng and lunged straight at Zhou Yunran.
Reflecting on everything the Snake King had done through his body just moments ago, Bai Cagu felt a bit embarrassed. He wanted to tell Zhihua that the incident was the work of the Snake King borrowing his body and not his own intent, but realizing he could never explain it clearly, he swallowed the words back.
As long as one can seize the initiative and successfully exercise subjective agency, unfavorable conditions can be transformed into advantageous ones.
Han Mo stood by the window in a black trench coat, a cigarette clamped between his fingers, the tip glowing with a faint, crimson light.
"Boss, check, please!" She didn't want to linger and waved the owner over to settle the bill. But after fumbling for a long time without finding her wallet, Chen Jishen pulled out two red banknotes and handed them to the owner.
Life finally settled into a calm. Chen Chu dared not go out, staying at home all day long. Once the freshmen learned that Chen Chu was unharmed, they felt relieved and returned to their daily routines.
Just as noon arrived, Zhao Shou, who had been in a coma, suddenly woke up, as if he had never been afflicted by that "Carefree Smoke," and called for people to bring him to Emperor Xicheng.
Su Sheng waved his hand and left, pulling Xia Wanqing along. Nangong Ying and Li Ping'er walked in the middle, while Song Honglin brought up the rear.
Su Er opened her mouth to speak, but no sound came from her throat. Terrified, she clutched her neck, struggling to utter a single note, but it was to no avail.
The next day, before the sun had fully risen, Yuan Yi began his journey to the Royal Capital. Aina was still sleeping in the other dimension, while Mila carried Yuan Yi through the sky, breathing in the fresh air.
After a period of integration, Huang Pingfan accepted all the engineers recommended by Lu Ban.
Only then did Sally react. Logically speaking, an ordinary person would have ceased to exist, yet this young man stood before them completely unscathed.
Having lost most of his men, Yan Yun, who had no personal ties to them, did not feel particularly saddened, but upon emerging, he witnessed a puzzling scene.
The plan discussed by Kong Rong and his associates was to summon Xia Feng into the city alone, eliminate him by force if necessary, and then seize control of the National Guard.
Haha was curious and squeezed its head into the gap of the railing. The railing, having been chewed and gnawed on by the creature, could no longer hold; it gave a creak and collapsed, and the creature, unable to steady its feet, fell along with it.
This was why they had to conduct the "three-stage focused fire" attack first; only by disrupting the "Knight Formation" could they slaughter the enemy with such overwhelming momentum.
Seeing Lin Qingxuan’s face grow grim, he quickly laughed again: "Including the Young Master, we now have three fellow cultivators at the Golden Core stage. Although our strength appears slightly inferior to our opponents..."
Magu, originally named Ma Jiugu, was one of the most brilliant disciples of the Wudang Sect two hundred and thirty years ago. Known for her fiery temper and hatred of evil, she was later ambushed and lost her honor. Ma Jiugu drew her sword and slaughtered all seven hundred and sixty members of the enemy’s clan, causing a sensation throughout the world. Under the pressure of public opinion, the Wudang Sect expelled her, and Ma Jiugu committed suicide in a fit of rage.
Talon’s body was even larger than that of a Ghost General, and since this entrance had been designed specifically for Ghost Generals, he found it somewhat difficult to squeeze through.
The wedding car to pick up the bride arrived. Zhao Hui accompanied Na Yanhua into the car, and the motorcade set off toward the hotel in a grand procession.
"Hey! How could Ye Xuan eat alone with Qiqi?" As she spoke, Shu Ni stuffed a large piece of steak into her mouth.
At noon, Zhao Hui’s older brother, sister-in-law, second brother, and second sister-in-law arrived, and everyone had lunch together.
Thus, when he walked out of the gates of Ji County, accompanied by Feiyan and leading his thousand soldiers, along with the two thousand soldiers arranged for him by He Man, he set off.
"You don't need to guess wildly. I know this information has nothing to do with other factions or people." The white-haired elder looked at Fang Yan, seemingly seeing through his thoughts.
Seeing that Liu Bei could not do anything to Zheng Feng, Cai Mao had no choice but to take a few personal guards and rush back to Xiangyang to retrieve the command talisman.
Kangxi did not know the reason behind it; he thought Axing and Gilantai were strangers, never dreaming that the two were already intimate.
Because the Po Lang Kingdom possessed their own siege engines like catapults, this army had arrived so late precisely because they needed to transport this heavy equipment.
"Pull up the surveillance footage from here and here." Xing Conglian looked at the 3D map and tapped the screen twice.
Li Jue and Guo Si defended the east and west gates respectively to cover Fan Chou as he looted the property of the common people in the city.
"Eat slowly, what’s the rush?" Hua Tuo hurriedly went to pour a cup of water and handed it to Zheng Feng to help him swallow.
Once, because that steamed bun shop was closed for personal reasons, Yun Ming had been angry for a long time. Fortunately, he was pacified with other food.
