Just then, calls reporting casualties at the various positions and calls for help began pouring in one after another.

Lan Di patiently explained everything. Tian Xuanyun immediately lowered her head, her expression grave as she began to think and analyze. Lan Di grew somewhat anxious, secretly thinking that he would once again have to listen to her endless speculations and theories, but he could only wait.

The Primordial Dao Ancestor secretly blamed the Heavenly Dao for leaking information about the Ruins World. Yet the Heavenly Dao was cursing the Primordial Dao Ancestor just as vehemently in its heart—and with words even fouler.

What was most worrying was not this. These feudal lords might possess certain advantages, but ultimately they were no match for her husband. Even with fleets at sea, they still could not shake her confidence. But what of the enemies to the north?

“Has the general forgotten what happened last night, or are you simply unwilling to admit it? Or perhaps I am not worthy of even a glance from the general?” Hearing Li Yu’s question, Han Jing wore a faintly aggrieved expression.

Otherwise, they would certainly remain under their opponents’ constant suppression. They naturally disliked being forced into such a rhythm, but at that moment, they had no choice but to accept it.

Of course, Chen Jin had no intention of showing Zhao Gu any special consideration. The orders of the Swift Cavalry Battalion were not something a mere commander could casually violate; they were the foundation of the battalion’s existence.

Clearly, this conversation was the most important one. As for the meetings he would later have with the top officials of the Yue Eastern Provincial Party Committee and provincial government, or with the leaders of the provincial Organization Department, those were merely formalities. They would have no bearing on his appointment, and he need not consider them at all.

Then he suddenly realized that even a single energy orb would be enough—enough to leave the “heart” incomplete.

By the dim light filtered through the rain, Tang Zhan’s face no longer looked human. Half of his cheek had been destroyed, and the stark white bones, still threaded with sinew and flesh, grew clearer beneath the washing rain. Threads of blood ran down his cheek, seeped between his teeth, and flowed into his mouth, filling it with a thick, salty tang.

He clicked his tongue. Unwilling to lose face, he swaggered over to the edge of the bed, sat down, and picked up the breakfast I had bought.

That morning, I did not receive a call from Su Mo asking me to go to the civil affairs bureau. Instead, Qiao Ling called to say that she was leaving and wanted to bid me farewell.

Tsunehatsu Kousaki was somewhat astonished by Chen Munan’s suggestion. He knew that the other man was wealthy and had an unusual identity, but he had not expected things to have reached such a point—that he could casually purchase such a large company.

Although its form was similar to that of a human, its bodily structure was utterly different. Three heads grew from its neck, along with six arms, while eyes covered its entire body. It looked like an evil god descended into the world, inspiring sheer terror.

Although Tsunehatsu Kousaki knew that Sana was deliberately downplaying the matter, she probably was not lying. For that reason, the incident also put him on his guard.

Everyone was watching her. Her grip on the phone tightened and tightened until cold sweat broke out on her palm. Only after a long while did she slowly press a string of numbers.

In the eyes of the Hus派 priests, this method could genuinely organize the Anduinians, strengthening their control over the deserts and grasslands.

Grandfather Su glared at Su Heng, bristling with anger. Su Heng curled his lips, then fell silent, puffing out his cheeks in sullen resignation.

Once he discovered that it was a sacred medicine for healing injuries—something that would certainly be used when seriously wounded—he would know that, heh heh, the man was bound to suffer severe injuries and die from overwork.

“Don’t move!” The policeman who had been sent flying realized that they had encountered a dangerous opponent that night. He immediately drew the police baton hanging from his waist and snapped it open.

Li Jingnan knew that she was in great distress, but he did not know how to comfort her. Matters like this only became more awkward the more one tried to console someone. He had just witnessed her breakup with a man, only to learn moments later that she was pregnant. It was a fact no one could easily accept.

As Ouyang Ying silently walked upstairs, Ouyang Hai could do nothing but maintain his icy expression. He truly did not wish to say anything more. He had originally wanted to ask her about the rumors circulating online, but seeing that she was in such a poor state of mind, he said nothing.

“Get this straight: this is my home. I can do whatever I want. Sleeping naked is my freedom, and you have no right to interfere. If you find it so unacceptable, you can leave right now!” Zhang Lilong said, waving his hand.

Gong Tian had considered resisting, but in the face of the Red Wolf and that mysterious man’s inexplicable power, he felt fear. It was simply too bizarre. Faced with the consequences of having his family taken hostage, he chose to compromise. He felt utterly helpless, because he had only one son.

Yet a thought suddenly flashed through Murong Yan’s mind, and he remembered a way they would not need to flee at all. All these people were lying here, completely unconscious. Wouldn’t killing them now be effortless? Once they were all dead, he and Yan Yue would be completely safe. At that thought, Murong Yan could not help softly calling out, “Yan Yue.”

“I’m… an employee of the… art gallery.” She had nearly said that she worked at Central Hospital, but at the last moment casually changed it to the art gallery.

Li Yifu nodded and said nothing more. His eyes looked extraordinarily complicated—impossible to tell whether they held sorrow or hatred. There was something so strange and intricate in them that no one could quite decipher it.

After hearing this, Old Ma remained silent for several seconds before suddenly bursting into hearty laughter. He seemed extremely pleased. Even Old Ma had not expected Zhang Lilong to complete the task in such a short time. It was practically like a dream.
