Chapter 49: Someone Has Arrived

It was a pity, however, that those cities boasting the most advanced nuclear power plants proved to be troublesome; essentially, all such cities across the globe had been obliterated, with not a single one surviving.

They began to ponder in earnest, faced with calamities of this magnitude, what could...

Murong Che’s face darkened upon seeing her; was she truly intent on tangling with him to the bitter end?

At nine-thirty in the morning, Han Chengchi drove punctually, arriving at a members-only tea restaurant near the Palace Museum.

Liu Qianqian fled in panic, not daring to look back, and for several nights afterward she dreamt of Liu Manman rising elegantly, clutching her stomach and a length of white silk.

Outside the city, their arranged men brought horses. After escaping several miles, Murong Che suddenly pulled the reins, turning to gaze back deeply.

“Naluo Yu, are you alright? Even if those damned people break through the barrier, you’ll still be safe, won’t you?” Axue was deeply worried about Luo Yu; she had heard from Yueyue that certain barriers, if breached, could injure their original master.

I shook my head, finding it odd to feel comfortable being watched. What a strange quirk! Turning, I crawled toward the main hall, thinking it would probably be more pleasant to lie on the cool bed.

“Please don’t be like this, I’m fine,” she said, unable to help shifting her body, wincing in pain.

Sheng Shi stood beside his mother, and under the glow of the lights, his features appeared even more striking and refined.

Lin Yuanai always said he hated her; his gaze, his demeanor, all showed such resolve, as if it were truly so.

“Whether future generations remember this is a matter for later. I should go choose someone first—an archer of divine skill is not a role just anyone can fill,” Hou Yi said, shaking his head.

“Hmm, what’s this? It seems familiar.” Gu Qingyang stood up, and before Totoro could react, he reached out and grabbed its furry neck, lifting it up in one swift motion.

The Lin family wielded great influence, and Lin Xingbang’s distinguished military achievements had earned them a large quadrangle courtyard under the emperor’s feet years ago. The family had lived there ever since. The courtyard they once disliked had now become a rarity beyond the reach of wealth.

The prison built by Reed Richards was set in a realm of anti-matter. After the registration and anti-registration factions began their war, numerous super-criminals became its residents. The only exit from the anti-matter space could be opened solely from the outside, and in theory, no inmate could ever escape.

The Sarcastic Starfolk continued their indifferent lampooning, expressing their utter exasperation with Liu Qian’s egg-pain responses. If not for the apparent alliance between the two, Liu Qian would truly wish he could silence him forever.

Chen Bao was suddenly struck by a startling idea that frightened even himself, yet he dared not reveal it before these four passionate young men, offering only a foolish chuckle at their insights.

If he lost, neither Huangfu Shi nor any others would spare him lightly; it would be like an angry tiger exposed as mere facade, then even a mongrel would dare insult him.

Han Zixin, her cheeks flushed, was still immersed in the aftermath of that kiss, her mind blank.

I still remember our first meeting—his calm eyes always held a convincing confidence and an elusive trace of pride. Though we occasionally bickered, we gradually grew to share a tacit understanding.

However, the domestic leader, Prime Minister Mussolini, demanded forcefully that the Italian Expeditionary Force must capture Bilbao, capital of the Basque region. He believed this was an opportunity for the Italian military to display its strength and enhance Italy’s international standing.
