Chapter 83

Your earlier speculation was correct; those people never intended to take your life. Their aim was merely to frighten you, to vent their anger over Feng San and Feng Jiu's loss of position and disfigurement. They are all sons and nephews of old Feng family retainers from the House of Duke Zheng, old friends of Feng San and Feng Jiu.

She did not know what entanglements truly existed between the Ji family, Grandpa Ji, and herself, but she was certain that Ji Nian's path to love would not be an easy one.

According to her plan, as soon as she began to speak, the matron she had arranged would feign waking suddenly, then stumble out from the side chamber in a panic, point to the main room and expose Li Yingge’s presence, then vaguely suggest that someone had knocked her out so that Li Yingge could be alone with her for a secret rendezvous.

"Yes, try it, it’s very sweet," Ji Nian said proudly, as if it were water from his own hometown.

The fierce beast let out a furious roar, yanked its tail free from Su Yi’s claws with all its might, and then frantically fled into the distance.

After finding Bai Yue, Su Yi discovered that her strength was shockingly low, and she carried no weapon. She did not seem to have come for battle.

"U-teng Snake!" He Changkong’s face hardened as he stared at the serpent coiled in the tree and called out its name.

Li Chang’an followed behind his two senior brothers in silence; watching these two, who usually appeared calm and unassuming, he almost doubted whether the powerful figures he’d seen in the martial arena were his own hallucination.

It was Tang Wei. Tang Wei had arrived! The scent he carried was truly pleasant, a faint aroma of cedar cones. She lifted her head and glanced at Tang Wei.

"What? He fainted? Take him to the hospital first—I’ll be right there!" Lin Chengxuan said urgently.

Fifty thousand Tang cavalry, empowered by the force of the formation, charged after the fleeing army of the Moxie Kingdom. On the wild plains, warhorses neighed as if carried by the wind, and the land was filled with a killing intent.

"Where you’re going is the Greater Detroit District, a white suburb. This is the real Detroit—the world of the black community. Here, you can buy a house for one dollar, buy two buildings for the price of a pair of shoes, as long as you dare to live there, heh..."

Compared to the previous WCG World Finals, which only broadcast the final championship match, this year’s WCG followed the Olympic schedule and included the last qualifying round and semifinals in the live broadcast of the finals.

He gripped tightly the long linen robe he had worn for far too long, so dirty it defied imagination, and gently tapped the polished staff forged from a branch of the Sacred Tree. The crisp, joyful "ding" sound calmed every heart present.

Fang Dongli nodded heavily. He’d been a salt envoy for over two years and had never tasted the feeling of being adored by the masses, but Su Liyan, new to Hangzhou, had already become the most beloved official in Zhejiang.

In the future, Qiu Yunci would take on the role of Non-Executive Vice Chairman of SMIC’s Board, helping Liang Mangsong, the new CEO, to ensure a smooth transition.

As for the monks of Brahma Heaven Temple, owing Fang Xu a favor, they kept this matter to themselves.

The elder, with a heavy heart, relayed everything to the Winter Beast, hoping the ancient creature who protected the tribe would offer some ingenious solution. But the beast said nothing—he simply rose and left the tribe in silence.

Her voice was gentle yet magnetic, falling into the ear like a cat’s paw scratching at the heart, stirring imagination and reverie.

A few months ago, Yu Cheng’en had set his sights on the beautiful Yun Niang. This time, however, for reasons unknown, he didn’t simply use force. Still, he often came to the Flower Brocade Workshop, tormenting Yun Niang and leaving her terrified.

Indeed, their power astonished him, far beyond his expectations. But upon reflection, it made sense. The powers of the Nature Fruits could easily cover an island or a sea. Crocodile’s sandstorm, spanning hundreds of meters, was actually weak among the truly strong.

As time passed, the enemy ships drew ever closer, and he was overwhelmed by a strange sense of severe tension.

Later, I heard from a friend that the director’s friend was short on funds. During filming, they couldn’t manage the details; the focus was on the story, without much consideration for anything else.” Tang Yan explained the situation around the video, which she knew fairly well.

Zhao An’s expression grew stern. Years of combat experience made his gaze suddenly sharp, and with a thought, the great serpent’s shadow expanded violently, darting past him like lightning and lunging, jaws wide, at the spectral image of the Roc.

This maneuver seemed enough to tie up Gao Quan, but for the Sacred Dynasty’s army to turn around and capture Wu County would still be difficult.

Although Li Haiyang was usually resolute and decisive, upon hearing Chen Xiufen’s words, he nodded in firm agreement with her plan.

On this day, no one cared anymore that it was a special occasion; in people’s hearts, as long as they could walk out of this place alive, that was blessing enough.

Now, the most important thing was to refine the Water Elemental Spirit, fully unleash his own magic power, and thus resolve the issue of the Demon-Subduing Staff’s elements.

At the very center of the battlefield, all soldiers shouted with all their might. The ten thousand men under Ao Yuntian had shifted their formation from the Vermilion Bird to the Crane Wing. Though the change was subtle, the effects were quite distinct.

All of this presupposes that the relevant authorities must enforce strict measures against counterfeiting, chaos, and fraud. Otherwise, the harm would outweigh the good.

Changning first took out the sandalwood prayer beads. Following the basic refining manual he had read before, he forced a drop of blood onto the beads and began refining them with his inner energy.

The Xiongnu envoy’s expression suddenly turned calm. He yanked his horse’s head around, and before leaving, cast Magnus a vicious glare and snorted coldly.

After a long time, Su Luoman suddenly raised her head, eyes blazing as she fixed Leng Yihan with a steely gaze, her voice cold and resolute, brooking no argument.

The Zheng army’s injuries were slightly more serious, but even so, they were only superficial wounds, with no internal damage. Both men agreed on one thing—they must never let their families know what had happened.

Dark Dragon nodded and said, "Take him back first; we can’t stay here long." The Thousand Corpses hid among the people, hoisted Xiao Ming up, and the group immediately got in the car and left, leaving behind only four corpses and a Mitsubishi jeep.
