Chapter 42

Zheng Fang didn't make it this far in Beihai by being a pushover; he knew quite a few people in the police department. Catching sight of the figure suddenly appearing at the doorway, his immediate thought was that someone was here to cause trouble.

At high noon, the towering camphor trees in the courtyard gleamed with an oily luster under the sunlight, and the gentle breeze carried a warm breath.

Right in front of the City Lord's Mansion, at least a hundred people had already gathered. Judging by their attire, they were commoners from Black Wing City. It seemed the assassins from last night hadn't gained anything; at the very least, they had managed to offend every single resident of Black Wing City.

In the past, no matter how many beauties surrounded him, many of whom went out of their way to flatter him and curry favor, his heart had never stirred even a fraction.

"Did you have a great time last night?" Xu Ling rubbed his chin and asked Pang Kai with an evil grin in English.

"Thanks for the thought. I was originally planning to secure a bit of status for myself after surrendering, but after hearing what you said, I've decided not to surrender," the fat man replied.

Lin Tian felt puzzled inside, though he didn't voice it, but today he remembered he needed to call Fifth Master—he had been entirely too exhausted yesterday and completely forgot.

I watched as two clear tears slowly welled up and fell from her eyes, while a smile lingered on her lips. It was so poignant and fragile that it naturally tugged at one's heartstrings.

"Huh? Who are you two? How come I've never seen you before?" Suddenly encountering such a pair of "top-tier specimens," Saliya asked in utter astonishment, her eyes full of confusion as she looked at them. Yet these two fellows seemed completely unfazed, advancing step by step toward Monroe.

In barely ten minutes, aside from a few Japanese cavalrymen still groaning on the ground, not a single living soul remained among the two squadrons.

With the lights turned on, Sister Xu's fear naturally diminished significantly. Just as she peered inside, Yan Jiu casually flicked the switch to turn them off.

Many boxers were even more ordinary, earning meager wages while plagued by injuries and illnesses, their earnings scarcely enough to cover medical treatments.

Both of them wore expressions of absolute calm, their gazes carrying the same chilling coldness, with only the invisible clash of blades reflecting in each other's eyes.

The first thing that came into view was a massive river, several hundred meters wide in the distance, with boundless blue waves and towering white crests shimmering brilliantly under the morning sun. True to its momentum, it surged from south to north directly toward the imperial mausoleum construction site.

Sighing inwardly and looking at his young master's completely indifferent demeanor, Uncle Li could only press his lips together and remain silent.

It seemed that wherever the beam of light touched, a scorching smell brought on by extreme heat quickly followed.

Li Shenxing was startled by the sudden question and almost lashed out with a punch. Fortunately, he caught himself halfway through the motion; otherwise, this boss would have received a pair of panda eyes free of charge.

"Ha! Which immortals are they talking about being lucky? But my luck is the truly good one!" Lin Ying couldn't help laughing.

Glancing at the hazy, blinding sun in the sky, Lin Ying experienced a bizarre sensation, feeling as though none of this was real and that everything was merely a dream.

Having undergone months of grueling special training under Mu Tianxing, Mu Yue was no longer who she used to be and sprang into action instantly.

The expression of the Flying Cloud Fish King darkened, his face covered in frost as he glared at Jin Biixuan. Although the Flying Cloud Fish clan could leave the water, they inevitably suffered from certain disadvantages on land. The fact that Jin Biixuan was exploiting this weakness to eagerly challenge them revealed his true intentions.

The Great Shu Empire maintained relatively loose regulations regarding the manufacture of leather armor, as many hunters routinely wore animal pelts directly as protective gear.

"Go ahead, be careful on the way, and take good care of her for me," Holden called out from behind.

"Damn it, Boss, I tried calling your cellphone the moment the exam ended, but it was constantly busy. Were you calling the sister-in-law to exchange pleasantries? Talking for that long?" Hua Shao strode over and threw a punch right at his chest.

"How dare you call our boss 'him'? You should call him 'Boss'! Understand? Damn it!" The one-eyed brawny man immediately flew into a rage and cursed loudly.

"Is this the so-called UFO? So alien UFOs really exist after all. It seems those rumored UFO sightings aren't entirely baseless." Smiling faintly, he glanced at the saucer-shaped craft before shifting his gaze to the alien standing right beside it.

A guard tumbled backward into the room, covered in blood, with a deep slash mark on his armor from which blood was still spurting out.

As it turned out, the Yellow Turban army led by Guo Shanhuhu had captured Tianshui County's Beidu County, and judging by their movements, they showed no intention of stopping after taking just two county towns.

Pan Ren said anxiously, looking at the darkening sky, "This is no time to ask about that. Just go recruit them." Only then did Pan Pu reluctantly lead five hundred men to search for mountain villages.

All these slopes, trees, and stones were memorized by Wang Hao, who took two full months to truly commit them to memory.

Since she didn't know, she might as well start with fine clothes and good food! Therefore, leaving behind the peerlessly elegant man, Yun Xi set off to inquire where the best delicacies could be found.

For when the mighty lion walked past George, the latter not only remained completely motionless but also emerged entirely unharmed.

The Admiral lived a rather blissful life within the Naval District; meals and such were all handled by the ship-girls. All she had to do was sit comfortably and wait for the ship-girls to serve the food to the table.

Since this was the first holiday Li Yu spent at the Dawn Naval District, virtually every ship-girl capable of movement in the entire base showed up.

Furthermore, the scene of him jumping off a cliff out of heartbreak for her was still fresh in her mind. Ruoyun felt dazed and heartbroken beyond measure, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Just as Ruoyun was worrying anxiously, a flash of white light appeared—Feng Yulou, who had been trailing closely behind her, arrived and joined the fray.

The honors and glories bestowed upon her were known to all the world, yet as she grew year by year, that glory faded into mere accompaniment.
