Chapter 59 Showing Weakness

Inside the tiny cottage, two lamps cast a warm glow as the family gathered on the heated brick kang of Li Zelin, a rugged and coarse man. There was no table? No matter; the bedding was rolled up at the foot of the kang, the food laid out freely, and the wine poured into two leather flasks—one for each of the brothers. With a sip of wine and a bite of peanuts, they drank with broad, smiling faces.

The three little ones buried their heads in dividing the chicken, each clutching a drumstick and eating until their mouths shone with oil. Alongside Lady Song—who sat on the edge of the kang next to her husband, delicately savoring a piece of fried chicken—they listened as their father recounted each of their heroic achievements of the day, their voices blending together.

This scene left both the enemy and allied forces utterly astonished. Qin Kun’s subordinates, in particular, wore expressions of profound shock and horror.

Instead of dwelling on this issue, everyone harbored numerous doubts regarding Ning Peishan's strength.

Just as in the case of Anhuang City, these individuals from the Yin-Yang Divine Sect closely resembled those from the Black Blood Divine Palace: their cultivation levels were formidable, yet their actual combat prowess was far inferior to that of cultivators of the same rank from the Central Heaven Continent.

Occasionally, with cinnabar on my back, I would follow Shangguan Jielong and the third aunt Guo Jiayan, bundled up in thick cotton-padded jackets, to climb the snowy peaks and watch the sunrise.

By now, Big Brother Changlin had long since forgotten the events of his childhood and no longer remembered her.

Originally, Old Horse wanted to deny it, but before the words could escape his lips, Old Sheep shot him a fierce side-long glance. Hesitating, Old Horse ultimately said nothing at all.

Then came a soft, muffled crash from outside. The doorway shook twice, and the wooden door panel buckled inward. This time, they truly made contact—intimately pressing against each other, hardly any different from a direct collision.

This remark only left Tianmo in silence. Forget it, this big brother will just stay quiet. Watching you quietly flex and put on airs is fine, right?

Seven days of the month had already passed. According to the schedule, twenty percent of the underground base project should have been completed by now, but the actual progress was only around ten percent.

Su Huan glanced at Xiang Yu and Li Xuan. The three of them scooped up their share of the distributed items and distanced themselves from the other two groups.

When the high-intensity flashlight was switched on, its glaring beam struck the cave wall. This was not a dead end, but a sharp turn.

Saburo Fujimoto muttered to himself that since the old fogey didn't want to kill him, he had better hide far away before the stubborn old man changed his mind.

Aiko was still deep in thought, not yet fully certain about the second half of the sentence. At that moment, Xi Si supported Chi Jiujiu as they walked out of the bathroom. Teacher Jiu's mood had clearly improved a great deal, and everyone crowded around to express their concern.

Sure enough, seeing them all show such submissive obedience, a trace of satisfaction finally appeared on Miss Rou's face, and her attitude toward them softened slightly.

In fact, domestic design companies had always extended invitations to him; it was simply that he had never harbored any intention of developing his career here.

With a heavy *thud*, a teacup rolled off the edge of the desk and smashed to pieces on the floor.

Naturally, the dinner party tonight was not about the food; what truly mattered was whether Diana and Amio could hit it off.

Seeing Hina finally emerge from the ice bear's body, Hinata rushed forward anxiously, showing not the slightest concern for her own father.

"Someone has unsealed a divine weapon, its murderous intent overflowing and tearing the fabric of the void. I'm afraid this is a primordial divine weapon."

At the same time, he instructed Lin Yu to secretly transport the Eight Gates True Qi Cannons—which they had hidden away when transferred to the imperial capital years ago—from Eastern Province to Western Province.

Most importantly of all, Qin Tian connected this incident to the assassination of Elder Fan and the murder of Fan Bing's fiancé, Zhuo Wei, which had taken place years before.

Suddenly thinking of Sophie, Anna snapped her eyes open, only to find the face of that rascal Yang Ze staring right back at her.

Just as the veteran Dreadnought finished speaking, an eager Misono Megumi raised her rifle and launched the assault first. One could tell that Misono Megumi truly harbored a genuine love for a certain phoenix man! Misono Rei had initially wanted to stubbornly follow along, but Chiyu had anticipated this and blocked her path in advance.

Qin Tian had previously crossed paths with Zhao Sanniang and Su Ziyuan, knowing full well that they excelled in using poisoned hidden weapons. Thus, he had been prepared from the start, stepping back repeatedly to evade the attacks.
