Chapter 64
Who would have thought that just as Edward had dozed off for a moment, he felt the sunlight disappear, and the cozy warmth on his body vanished once again.
Startled, he covered his face with both hands, but there was no sensation whatsoever on his hands, nor on his face.
In truth, Boss Ke was burning with anxiety and had no appetite for food at all. Yet, he also understood the adage that "a hungry soldier makes a poor fighter"; if he wanted people to work for him, he had to fill their stomachs first.
By this time, beads of cold sweat were quietly slipping down Zhang Xiu's forehead. The burly man from the Northwest entirely lacked his usual heroic bearing. If the battle continued like this, his foundation would be completely wiped out; but if he stopped fighting, his rebellious intent would be exposed, and how could Cao Cao ever tolerate him?
"You cannot escape. If you try, the tribal warriors will pierce your head with their spears," Ileen said, a look of worry clouding her face.
Besides, Chu Yuexin's feet were a hundred times more beautiful than those of later generations. He really could not blame himself; if anyone was to blame, it was simply that Chu Yuexin's feet were born to be exceedingly beautiful.
The squadron leader's radio channel was suddenly flooded with a dense barrage of calls, as if the entire planet's air force was converging toward his position, and dozens of fighter jets suddenly appeared on the radar.
Shedding his previous decadent look, Jack looked into both of their eyes with great vigor and asked directly.
Back then, one franc was equal to one livre, which was also one pound. Five months would be five thousand pounds—how much was that? Edward believed this was merely the tax revenue of Glasgow, Scotland's largest commercial city, for a single month.
Bao Bei was starting to panic. The man had actually been so angered that he vomited blood! He hurriedly helped him sit down, then patted his back firmly to help him catch his breath.
President Jin remained remarkably calm, feigning a delighted expression. "Alright, see you next time then," he said with a suave smile to Madam Mei before turning to leave.
Sure enough. There were indeed police officers waiting at the hospital. When my people were handling the discharge procedures, police officers were right beside them. They openly accompanied me, yet they did not interfere with my actions.
The officers inside the tent all cast their gazes straight toward him, except for Maria at the far end of the tent, who was holding a communicator with a stern expression on her face.
Because of his words, the impassioned pirates roared his name one after another, then eagerly raised the giant wine bowls in front of their hands, preparing to perform the oath-taking ceremony with the Golden Lion Shiki.
Li Lin and Tohsaka Tokiomi exchanged glances. Both could sense that the other party had genuinely understood their meaning, giving them a fleeting sense of "colluding like villains."
Seeing this scene, Peng Fei and Zuo Shiyui felt their eyes split and their hearts freeze with terror. They cried out frantically, terrified that Liu Yansong might perish beneath Zhong Yingwu's flying sword.
"All right. Thank you, Yufan." Hearing Chen Yufan's words, Fang Yun finally nodded happily.
No matter what, having been in this world for so long, she had yet to witness one of the indispensable elements of the plot in this realm.
The exorcists in this village alone were enough to give them a hard time, and none of them were weak; there were quite a few four-star entities among them.
"The Sexagenary Cycle Pact? It seems there is indeed such a matter. Wait for me a moment, let me ask," Qin Chuge said thoughtfully.
At this point, Yun Moqi suddenly fell silent. Yet Lu Qianmo understood as well; an accident must have occurred to cause Yun Su's condition to rapidly deteriorate to an irremediable stage.
Ling Feng could no longer spare the time to search for other safety hazards. Like a gust of wind, he rushed directly to An Xiao's side.
Two young men passed by Mo Shangjun and let out a whistle, but Mo Shangjun ignored them completely, feeling that even sparing them an extra glance was a waste of time. The two young men then left in boredom.
High above Kunming, having completed the designated bombing mission, a Japanese bomber pilot looked at the thick smoke rising below and said to the navigator beside him.
"At worst, we can just come back and pay the money after the evaluation ends," Liang Zhiqiong said, trying her best to minimize the surging, flood-like guilt in her heart.
At that instant, Mu Cheng keenly sensed that in Chu Ye's gaze, there was a hint of disdain for his intelligence.
Originally, they had contributed quite a few promising talents to support the new special forces unit, and the regiment was already reluctant to part with them. Now that the fat piece of meat that was their reconnaissance battalion was being watched by so many eyes, the regiment naturally grew anxious.
Pan Ziyu's office was just ahead. Xu Yuntian employed his clairvoyance technique and discovered that Pan Ziyu was not inside.
"Hehe! Just joking with you, look how nervous you got!" Xu Yuntian looked at Shu Mingyue and could not help laughing.
Yushan wanted to probe for some information, but to her surprise, Xun Yi merely nodded, wearing a preoccupied expression as if he were too lazy to say anything.
As a large gap opened in the cave wall, Chen Mumu's eyes widened completely. In front of a high platform in the cavern lay a skeleton. Most of this skeleton was identical to a human's, but its entire spine protruded like some sort of fin, and further down, it transformed into thirteen long tails.
An unexpected turn of events ultimately prevented the auction from continuing. Guided by the marketplace staff, the attendees began to exit, returning to their respective homes to attend to their own affairs.
The portion of the True Essence Manual he had studied made no mention of how to discard spiritual beasts bound within spells. Presumably, the entire True Essence Manual contained no such content; the creator of the manual could never have anticipated that someone inheriting his treasure would turn out to be such an eccentric oddball.
Zheng Chenggong was left behind as Zheng Zhilong returned to Taiwan, while Ye Zhan and the second batch of soldiers also returned to Yulinwan. Looking at their son, who had grown much darker in skin, Ye Sunquan and Mrs. Luo shed many secret tears.
Princess Chenliu sat to one side, wishing to offer a reminder, but Chai Yu gently pressed her arm and shook his head slightly.
The elite masters of the Jie Sect maintained a motionless silence, while those of the Chan Sect knew all too well how domineering Chen Mumu was and dared not provoke him. Even Taishang Laojun did not dare dispatch his disciples downward, fearing Chen Mumu would simply beat them to death with a single club.
"Wretched girl, how dare you injure me?" After tending to his wound, the man flew into a rage and immediately strode toward Shui Tianlan.
