Chapter 79

Chen Youzhou held his breath and stilled his mind, refusing to think about his wife’s soft body pressed against him, focusing all his attention on the computer screen. As expected, Li Manman stopped—not because Li Zhengde threatened her, but because she wanted to see just how far he could go to disgust her. She asked them bluntly how much money they wanted, urging them to take the cash and leave, as their presence was truly unsettling.

It was one thing for Si Yanjing to be taken in for questioning, but what suffocated Chen Youzhou most was the fact that his computer would also be forcibly confiscated. He didn’t know what reward awaited him, but since it came from the Reincarnation Space, it was unlikely to be anything trivial.

Here, he could learn a wealth of medical knowledge—Young Master Zhao’s medical skills were at least equal to, if not superior to, his own. All these men were kings of the nations at the Earth’s core; after submitting to the Great Qin, they would not continue their lives as ordinary people. They were to return to the imperial capital to be officially enfeoffed by the emperor of Great Qin, becoming Qin people in name and in fact.

At first, there were not many guards on the city wall, barely a hundred or so, and within the time it took for half a stick of incense to burn, all were dealt with. Yet Tao Fushu didn’t drink a single sip—after eating a few bites, she left the dining table to watch television alone on the sofa.

After making the decision to put himself first, Arslen was seized by another impulse—the urge to dig up Wang Nuo. F City was already far beyond Huanghe County. In the north, it always snowed during the New Year, so An Shubao was now tasting the bitter consequences of his own bravado.

Each time the monsters below exploded, red arcs of electricity flashed for about three seconds before fading, and each blast covered an area more than twice as large as before.

Strictly speaking, during the period when Wang Nuo began pursuing a career as an analyst, Zhou Minghai played the role of both father and elder brother. He taught Wang Nuo how to properly hold a rice bowl, but now he might become an obstacle standing in Wang Nuo’s path.

Watching the red clouds gradually engulf the sky and the great waves of sand rising beneath them, the entire world seemed to collapse inward from its very edges, a suffocating sensation that left everyone on the archaeological team deeply uneasy.

A warm embrace pressed against his exposed, chilled skin, and the sound of his breathing echoed in her ears. “Your body may be incredibly strong, for that’s the state I have strived for all my life, to surpass all limits. But if you use special abilities, it loses all meaning for me!” Zhou Ming looked seriously at Luo Ze.

“Damn it! Isn’t it okay to be rich in theory? Have you even been in a relationship?” An Shubao erupted in rage.

After dinner, I pulled Yuetang out for a stroll. They say the scenery in River City is exceptionally beautiful—since the weather was so fine, I couldn’t bear to waste such a glorious day.

“But what’s strange is that the King of Ghost Eyes didn’t claim his soul—his body broke free of the seal on its own.” As he spoke, Ghost Lantern pulled a bizarre wooden statue with three eyes from his backpack. Its texture resembled wood, yet it reflected light like metal and felt as smooth as jade.

Li Xinwei was no longer the same Zheng Xi as before. Once bold, cheerful, willful, fond of joking and teasing him—now, she was just the opposite: sensitive, cautious, lacking trust in him, and increasingly concerned about how others saw her.

As the stadium announcer’s emotional and rousing cries echoed, the fans in the stands erupted into a thunderous roar of cheers. In this wave-like cacophony, the referee from Uzbekistan, Lafosse, blew the opening whistle for the first match of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Villa's sudden outburst was like a furious lion; he glared at Puyol, his eyes faintly red with rage. Puyol remained calm, but Pique panicked, hurriedly stepping between them, afraid that their argument would escalate into a bigger conflict.

“Yes!” Sensing the rare passion in his boss, the Minotaur stood straighter, feeling newfound confidence with his leader’s support.

The two exchanged glances—besides resignation, there seemed to be no other emotion in their eyes.

As the sun slanted westward, Su Chengguo, just as he’d said, hurriedly left the Su residence. However, instead of heading south to Xuanzhou, he made his way to the banks of the Qinhuai River in Jiangning.

On the other side, Wenger shook his head with a somber expression and walked back to the coaching bench.

With their understanding of Dima, nothing he did could truly surprise them. On the battlefield, Dima’s outrageous actions far exceeded anything now—his aides were replaced every few days, most not lost to war, but to Dima himself.

Exhausted, Molina simply found a spot beside the Villarreal training ground to sleep. Before nodding off, he explained the situation to Pellegrini, and then—the whole team was thrown into chaos.

“But after such a major battle, our forces are depleted. If we press straight across the great desert into Western Qi, it will mean another heavy toll. After a great battle, we should focus on recuperating the troops—otherwise, it could sap the nation’s strength.” Deputy General Chen rode on the other side of Zhuo Yijia, worry etched in his voice.
