Chapter 127: But We Must Add a Stake

Mu Wanqing had recovered quite a bit; at the very least, she could sit up now. Having learned a profound lesson, she dared not tease Cao Mang any further.

Cao Mang, however, leaned in close, causing her to shrink back in alarm. "What do you want?"

"That’s a dangerous question. Relax, I’m not interested for the moment. Can we discuss something?"

"It’s bound to be nothing good."

...

As an acting battalion commander, he led his troops through the most arduous missions. His performance earned high praise from the leaders of his army. After the war, he was recommended to study at the Military and Political University, and from there, he advanced step by step. During the border conflicts, he served as a regimental commander and won many more battles.

When the sunlight touched the treetops, Yin Wucuo had already been waiting for a long time, but Rong Jingji did not appear. Beneath the stage, Feng Xuan, Ye Yunluo, and Yu Qiuyan felt a surge of unease. What had happened to Rong Jingji? Why hadn't he come?

He Sanliang was well aware that military operations required the utmost secrecy. He understood that while chance occurrences were inevitable, one must strive to prevent those chances from becoming certainties. Therefore, when Li Zi-yuan rejected his proposal, He Sanliang did not insist further.

Su Manqing felt a glimmer of joy upon hearing Liang Shan’s promise, but the moment she saw Su Junkun attack Liang Shan, she cried out in terror to stop him. She wasn't worried about Liang Shan getting hurt; she was afraid that Liang Shan would be provoked into refusing to provide treatment, even if his words were hard to believe.

"Giant Spirit God, I sent you to protect Wukong in secret. It is one thing that you failed to shield him, but why have you repeatedly schemed to harm him?!" The Bodhisattva’s voice was not loud, yet every word carried the weight of a mountain, striking deep into the heart of the Giant Spirit God.

The corpses glistened in the firelight. The blood was brighter than the flames—a vivid, sickening red that made one feel like retching at the sight.

The police officer was momentarily stunned by Shi Yue’s words, but then he quickly sat down as instructed. Inwardly, however, he sighed; Shi Yue truly deserved to be their bureau chief—that ability to spout nonsense with such a straight face was something an ordinary person could never master.

Ami covered her face and sighed. She knew Ding Huo had no real explanation, but still—wasn't that excuse just a bit too much?

Inside the box lay a brand-new motorcycle key, with a heart-shaped pendant attached to the ring at the end.

Most items at the exchange were traded in the open, but anything exceeding a certain value was handled through one-on-one transactions. By the time Li Tianyou walked out, Guan Lingyun and the others were nowhere to be seen.

"The mirror surface isn't flat; it’s concave to focus and reflect the light," I said.

Thinking about the confrontation, Yu Dayong still decided to invite the Minister of Management, Feng Weibao, out. When Yu Dayong reached the bridgehead at North Gongji Street, Feng Weibao arrived by taxi. As he stepped out, he looked a bit nervous and asked, "Chairman? Is Zhige giving you trouble again?"

Li Shuci froze where she stood. She knew the Prince of Ru planned ahead, but to plan to such an extent was truly terrifying. "If Dongzhi is so loyal to the Prince of Ru, why would he send her to her death?" Once the Fifth Prince’s foolish scheme was exposed, regardless of the final outcome, Lady Wang was doomed to die.

Accompanying the sound, countless cracks appeared across the star Alkaid. These fissures covered almost the entire planet, spreading to every inch of land and every corner, a truly shocking sight.

Finally reaching An Yutong’s room, Qin Leng kicked the door open and laid her down on the bed.

Just then, the "Void Hunter" tore through layers of barriers, shattering all restraints to descend upon the ancient star, but it collided with a solid energy shield, emitting a piercing screech.

Voices rose and fell, all filled with concern for Huang Fei’s condition. Lying in the room, Huang Fei heard them clearly. Listening to these familiar voices, he nodded to himself; it seemed he had truly returned to the Blood Wolf.
