Shi Xiang paid no attention and continued to giggle, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons that seemed filled with stars.

There was still a week before she joined the production crew. Zhang Xian had given her some time off so she could go home and get a proper rest.

“I’ve already sent her a message. From now on, I’ll be living at the studio.” Yin Zhan interrupted in an even tone.

Unfortunately, he did not know that she had been wary of him from the beginning. The moment he came within three steps—or two meters—she would attack.

A base was hidden roughly ten meters beneath the zoo. The explosion must have been the base’s self-destruct sequence. Its area was probably about as large as the zoo above. The terrifying blast had destroyed everything inside, whether instruments and equipment, personnel, or anything else.

The Dragon-Pattern Sword in the old man’s hand was clearly a genuine divine weapon. Combined with his own power, it was temporarily crushing Chu Ziyou Zizai beneath it.

To be honest, when Tsuchimikado Fuyu saw the number plate marked “97” hanging from Hanabatake Yoshiko, he suddenly had a feeling that they might lose.

“Master Yu, just give the order. I absolutely wouldn’t dare say no!” the burly Chen Le declared passionately.

“U-Uncle?!” Only after Zuo Qianqiu stopped did Sha Zilong, standing in the distance, swallow hard. He was simply too shocked.

Although there was no resurrection light at present to reveal the difference between them, everyone knew that after several more rounds of magical attacks, the gap would become obvious. Once Summer Starry Sky had weakened the defensive formation, the Assassin Clan’s forces would probably be in danger.

By now, Liu Weixin no longer doubted Han Yu. He also knew about the relationship between Liu Lu and Han Yu, and naturally believed him even more deeply.

At that very moment, she kept asking herself: had it been right or wrong to sleep with Xie Xin?

Before long, the rain of arrows descended upon the enemy ranks. With ease, it shot down all ten thousand or so men directly ahead, while more than thirty thousand others suffered injuries of varying degrees.

Holding Xu Furong’s delicate hand in one of his own, Qin Tian found himself walking slowly forward alongside her.

Faced with the rampaging Chinese civilians, the Japanese coast guard finally lost its temper. The high-pressure water guns were replaced with high-pressure water cannons, whose impact was instantly several times greater than before.

Buyu’s face remained expressionless, as cold as black ice. Xuanbing, however, wore a smug, icy smile. She pulled Buyu along as she emerged from the ice coffin. The moment her feet touched the ground, she shielded her eyes; the light reflected from the snow outside shone into them.

Just as Han Yu and Zhao Yan were laughing and chatting, a black BMW came to a sudden stop outside the pavilion. A wealthy young man in a white shirt and white trousers stepped out and walked toward them.

“Damn it, send in more men! If the eastern district is lost, I’ll have every one of you executed!” Volari said furiously.

The cold current was pale blue. Wherever it passed, everything froze, forming a terrain like a river channel—high on both sides and sunken in the middle. At the very center of that channel was Solomon, flung backward by the force of the impact. By then, the bone-chilling ice had frozen him solid.

The map he had memorized by heart finally proved useful. As Yuan Feng walked, he mentally sorted out the layout of the entire imperial palace and determined his position. Following Eunuch Hai’s instructions, he kept to the edges, yielded whenever he saw anyone, and walked with lowered eyes and an obsequious air to avoid attracting attention. No one questioned him along the way.

Upon hearing this, Fang Guohuan was delighted. “In that case, the rebel army of the Prince of Hanyang has already begun to show signs of defeat?”

Then he suddenly understood. “Of course. If the Prince of Hanyang’s rebels had not shown signs of defeat, Li Ruchuan would not have appeared here. The omens truly respond with uncanny precision!”

He exchanged a smile with Jian Liang, knowing that their great undertaking had been accomplished.

Otherwise, why not just send a thousand men at once? Supermen or Ultramen, it made no difference. Once we combined our strength, we’d be an atomic bomb.

After three rounds of drinks, Governor Wen indeed came over with a cup in hand. It was a joyous occasion, and the governor made an exception to mingle with the people. After all, these merchants were wealthy men who might prove useful in the future.

“Then why were the results of the other schools altered as well?” Liu Chen asked Liu Xiao with a broad smile.

“Do you really need to ask? Of course, people like Wu Feifan!” Liu Xiao answered without the slightest hesitation.

“It was because my mother suddenly fell ill. Someone came from home to urge me to return at once!” Zou Bingchu sighed after hearing this.

Second, apart from bonuses, there were benefits. These were intangible rewards, yet they could touch people’s hearts even more closely. Benefits came in many forms: some might be expensive, others inexpensive. But regardless of their cost, they could powerfully strengthen everyone’s sense of belonging and make them unite around Soga of their own accord.

Jian Liang said, “Old Hero Huang, please stop making things difficult for Miss Lan. The Prefecture of Wuchang is releasing me tomorrow anyway.”

Hearing this, Princess Lan Ling gave Jian Liang a grateful smile. Jian Liang hurriedly turned his head away.

“Damn it, are you trying to test my patience?” Mu Xi looked left and right, completely unable to tell where his opponent would appear. A trace of anger gradually surfaced in his eyes. Fine, then—I’ll force you to come out.

They had covered less than a third of the journey when they saw the man in white and his junior fellow disciple suddenly “drift” before them from afar, propelled by an eerie lightness technique.

The blood-red saber swept through the air in a slash. The Blood Demon God stepped sideways and forward, then spun his blade into a horizontal cut—a straightforward military maneuver.

After hearing this, Lin Biyu furrowed her brows slightly, but she did not speak. At that moment, she and Wu Jiao were on the same side; they had long since found Lady Li annoying.

Sure enough, the moment Pimos emerged, he hurled out a Dark Mist. Ye Fei also cooperated by activating his domain skill, then triggered the Tortoise-Shell Stomp.
