Chapter 55
Tong Xinlan wrung out a cold, wet handkerchief she had prepared and pressed it against Murong Wanyu's face, gently tapping her cheeks and calling out to her until she finally roused the unconscious Murong Wanyu.
Zhong Baohua had merely brought the Flying Tiger Battalion over. As for how and where they wished to live, that was entirely their own freedom, and he had not the slightest desire to interfere. After giving instructions to the village chief, Zhong Baohua left with the guerrilla force, leaving the Flying Tiger Battalion to face the villagers of Midian Village alone.
Hunting resumed in the afternoon. To avoid being roped into the hunt, he returned alone from the outskirts ahead of time. Arriving early this time, thin wisps of cooking smoke were just beginning to rise. Thousands of households looked forward to the evening meals simmering on their stoves. The setting sun had already dipped below the horizon, though its residual warmth lingered, and the rising warmth of the cooking smoke enveloped the entire imperial capital.
Shen Feng felt deeply troubled as well. The crown prince wished for nothing more than to kill him; if the crown prince were to ascend the throne in the future, there would be no place left for him in this world. He wondered what Magistrate Qu was thinking. Magistrate Qu was not as obstinate and straightforward as the Tang family, but he surely did not support the crown prince either. Indeed, he would need to learn some lessons from these official circles in the future.
However, her loss of composure lasted only for a split second. A few moments later, despite the roaring tempest within her heart, her face was already adorned with a bright and appropriate smile.
His movements were very gentle, his well-articulated fingers resting lightly upon it, yet Leng Feixin felt as though she had been struck by a bolt of lightning in that instant, instinctively trying to yank her foot back.
"Mph—" Her lips felt moist as a fragrant breeze suddenly rushed over, directly cutting off whatever Luo Yang was about to say.
The enemy soldiers were right across the river, yet this side continued to revel in nightly songs and dances—truly a wondrous landscape on the frontlines of the war of resistance.
Two figures appeared in the arena, and He Yingcai's palm landed solidly against Lin Xuan's chest.
A crisp, resounding chime of a sword rang out, and the blade in Xiao Tianchen's hand suddenly erupted with a fierce, violent sword qi. The bone-chillingly cold murderous intent instantly lowered the surrounding temperature by several dozen degrees, causing many to shiver uncontrollably down to their very bones.
Yun Xuan stood frozen in place, almost involuntarily opening his hands as if to support Elder Yun, who was a dozen meters away. But that frail body would never stand up again.
"Tong Yue, where is your self-respect! He already told you he was keeping you as a mistress, yet you still throw yourself at him like this! Do you know what this is called? It is called being utterly shameless and debasing yourself!" her father roared, panting heavily.
Looking at Lin Jiayi snuggled in his arms, the smile on Yun Xuan's face grew increasingly gentle. Sometimes he felt deeply fortunate that Lin Jiayi had accompanied him all along the way, ensuring he would never again feel solitary or lonely.
What if this job was genuinely obtained for me through connections pulled by Zhang Ruiran? What should I do then?
Zhou Yi gave Tang Luo a deep look. He had met countless young masters, but very few possessed the bone-deep arrogance of Tang Luo.
The previously indifferent cloud-leopard mung-bean roll, seeing that Qiu'er was so sensible, gave an intelligent nod. Only then did it gracefully get up, wagging its impossibly gorgeous tail as it bounded off the bed.
Lin Yu did not think anything was amiss, but Mo Ya's pretty face flushed slightly, making her appear rather shy.
Seeing this spectacle, not only Xiang Ling'er and Xiang Chuan, but even Fei Jishi and Ye Yuehua opened their eyes wide in astonishment.
To Cheng Yinnie, this cloak felt like a protective shield, giving him an indescribable sense of safety.
Because if such a thing truly existed, why hadn't Lin Yu brought it out that day when he barged into the Yanhuang Sword Sect with Kong Ru?
While the Hell Tarantula and Magic Saucer were being developed, an upgraded model of the classic Knight TM was also completed: the [Knight Z].
A-Lu was quite agile, climbing up to a high horizontal branch to undo his belt and urinate, only to look down and see a black shadow beneath the tree. Once all the white ghosts had climbed up, he leisurely poured the contents of a rubber bucket down along the tree roots.
The recent dormitory relocation had indeed caused quite a stir, even lingering at the tail end of Weibo's trending search list.
Holding a cup of lemonade, Lin Yang walked forward without looking back, continuing for an unknown distance before finally coming to a halt.
Yi Yuanying remembered the two of them riding horses like this, with the sprite occasionally turning back to talk to her about Qi Huai and Meng Teng.
Yu Sheng nodded, then looked at Li Jing. Recalling something, he walked right up to his side, leaned down to his ear, and whispered his plan.
Aside from National Day, the public polytechnic high school had no other holidays. Yunxia had begun attending school, and apart from waking up early to help Uncle Ji, Huaizhen spent almost the entirety of every Saturday at the Hui Family Clinic.
He took a deep breath, lowered his gaze, and then slowly looked up at her again, finally unable to contain his emotions any longer.
Han Yan was absent, presumably out handling the relevant paperwork, so besides her and Lin Jie, there was no one at the doorway.
"These days, your job is to keep Han Yu occupied so he cannot spare any attention for Ye Qianchong." Qiao Ming cut her off, not letting her waste words.
"Officer Su has just presented her credentials and explained the situation, so now it is my duty to protect the lives and safety of you ordinary citizens," the soldier said very solemnly, looking at He Yunlong.
Ting Yuxuan sat upon a meteorite, clad in purple robes that fluttered in the invisible wind. Her chestnut-colored hair swayed endlessly, defying the resistance of the void.
"Say no more, Father knows everything." Qian An told his two children to stop talking; if they continued, he would no longer be able to hold back his tears.
Immediately after, Ye Qing formed his fingers into a sword, a wisp of white Devouring Heaven Qi wrapping around them. Squatting down, Ye Qing began tracing something around the Demon Emperor.
"As expected of Fellow Daoist Long, truly immensely powerful. Even my sneak attack failed to injure you in the slightest." Bu Changfeng arrived close to Long Yichen, holding a long sword in his hand. Yet his attacks never paused for a moment, continuously and directly striking at Long Yichen.
Mu Bai's heart trembled, unable to calm down. Across the barrier of light, he locked eyes with Yin Qianqiu, seeing astonishment, sudden realization, relief, and fervent passion in the other's eyes—as if at this very moment, the other person had understood something profound.
