Chapter 24

"Why do I feel dizzy when I hear you snap your fingers?" Hua Qitong’s expression looked dangerous.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wei was stunned. A question suddenly occurred to him: was he truly going to get married within the Duanmu family?

At this moment, Bai Muchou, clad in the armor of a Flying Leopard General and wielding a square-tipped halberd weighing several hundred catties, charged at the forefront. He led thousands of elite cavalry in a pursuit of the retreating army of ruthless bandits, their thundering hooves sounding like a storm sweeping across the plains as they surged out of Jinzhou City.

"Hiss, that really stings like hell," Zhao Tiezhu muttered, glancing at the wounds that had ceased bleeding. There was no time now; otherwise, he would have had to dig those bullets out first.

"The best part is just beginning. It won't be as easy as you think to kill me," the two men in yellow robes replied, enduring all pressure while smiling coldly at their opponents.

The high monk said, "I advise you donors not to defy the will of heaven. If you do, this old monk will have no choice but to offend you." No sooner had he finished speaking than rolling black clouds descended. Lightning cracked and flashed across the sky, and eerie winds began to howl, accompanied by the faint, ghostly sounds of weeping.

Before the wolf demon could pounce, Zhou Tian executed his "shifting shadow" technique. With a "whoosh," he appeared abruptly above the wolf demon and swung his right hand down in a strike.

The next morning, I went to the museum, greeted my teacher, and then went shopping. My teacher felt quite helpless that both Huang Yiyi and I had been sick and requested leave.

"Oh, we haven't been apart for long, and she's already sending texts! Is my charm really that powerful?" Zhao Tiezhu stroked his head with a smug grin and tapped open the message.

A moment later, an RPK light machine gun appeared in his hands. He took a deep breath, and without another thought, he slung Deng Sanniang onto his back and charged out.

This fifth-tier lightning crane circled the dense forest that had been struck by lightning arrows several times. Finding nothing unusual, it let out a piercing cry and flapped its wings, flying away.

Although that cavalry unit’s formation had been pierced by Lin Pinggui’s spear, the strike had only hit a warhorse, leaving most of them unharmed. Seeing the hundreds of Southern Pacification soldiers ahead, they sensed danger, hoisted their fallen comrades onto their horses, and turned to flee.

Lei Cangyun was a deputy general of the Wind and Snow Battalion. This night raid on the border was his plan. After gaining the support of Qiao Daoqing, Xu Guanzhong, and others, he had selected elite soldiers from the Wind and Snow, Crouching Tiger, and Dragon Pattern battalions to serve as the vanguard for the night attack.

He had initially thought that giving Niu Tian two bags of fluid instead of four would not trigger shock, but it happened anyway. He suspected the patient’s vomiting was too severe, and given his pre-existing irregular heartbeat and serious coronary heart disease, it was inevitable.

"Cousin, it’s been a while since we had a meal together. I came specifically to invite you; you wouldn't refuse, would you?" Xia Yu said to Jiang Yan.

"My name is Hou Quanhai, and I am a resident physician in the general surgery department of Tiannan County Hospital," Hou Quanhai introduced himself.

"This is the bride-to-be, and this is her friend," Ai Linlin chimed in, introducing the two.

As soon as Chang Ge’s voice rang out, the sound of a bustling crowd echoed outside the door. Herbert, Panta, Bai Jin, Emilia, and others flooded in. Their eyes were all bloodshot; even Silver Grey, a hardened man of steel tempered by the Taimudar Snow Mountains, was so choked with emotion that he could not speak.

Hou Quanhai had already guided the tip of the guidewire into the distal blood vessel in a spiral motion, searching for the entrance to the uterine artery.

In an instant, terrifying demonic energy erupted from the Immortal Demon Sword, tearing open a spatial gateway right there in the Liufeng Pavilion.

Is even a hallucination this realistic now? Ye Feng Hui widened her eyes. If this continued, there was no telling when she might lose her mind.

However, she would never be used as a bargaining chip to be returned to Tang Zixuan. Even if Tang Zixuan chose his older brother in the future, it would not be because he had used her to compensate him.

"Dark Demon Emperor, let's join forces!" Ning Ya knew how troublesome the Phoenix King was and how terrifying his combat power could be, but surely, by teaming up with Mo Huang, they could handle him?

She was tall with a sturdy frame, dressed in a crimson quju robe. Her black hair was styled into a high bun, adorned with a golden phoenix hairpin that dangled pearls on fine chains. Her elaborate attire and accessories made her look exceedingly wealthy.

She just wanted to know; in reality, that reason had no substantive meaning at all.

Cao Jin glanced over, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings. Seeing only ox-carts and the like, he frowned.

Li Ling and Ruan Yuan sat at the dining table, eating. From time to time, both would think of Lin Mogu, who used to dine with them.

With the fading of the withered vision, Ye Feng Hui’s withered skin rapidly regained its softness and fullness with each breath.

If it were an ordinary person or even a magician facing this scene, their expression would certainly change, for the Matou family’s worm-manipulation magic was quite formidable.

Whenever that golden Archer used his Noble Phantasm, it was as if he had an endless supply of equipment, releasing them one by one. Furthermore, since the battle with the Assassin the previous night, he had never used the same one twice.

"Although no one saw it originally, you were shouting and yelling just now; Xiuning and the others will surely be curious. If they ask me about it later, how am I supposed to explain..." Sun Dian muttered as if talking to himself, but his voice was just loud enough for Shang Xiuxun to hear.

The waiter served the dishes they had ordered: Rito’s favorite slightly charred steak and Momo’s favorite caviar set.

Without lingering any longer, having resolved the issue regarding Setsuna Sachiko, Luo Xiu turned and left the Daimyo’s mansion. Since the matters had been settled, there was no need to stay, especially since there were more important things to do later.

However, Sun Dian did not specifically dwell on this issue with Shang Xiuxun, nor did he breathe a word of it to Li Xiuning. This was because he respected Shang Xiuxun’s decision and hoped that she would come to understand certain things on her own.
