36 Containing Warmth

Ai Ye hesitated for a moment and said, "You had better ask Sister Tianxiang. Good night!" With that, she swayed gracefully and walked away.

Even if they were to take him in, there "absolutely" should be some caution; they would always be on guard to some extent.

According to the information left behind by Tian Ergeng, the former secret service agents of the Eastern Depot and the eunuch faction had set sail from Shanghai County in Songjiang Prefecture. Therefore, whether it was the Eastern Depot or the Embroidered Uniform Guard from the northern and southern command posts, everyone’s destination was Shanghai County.

By breakfast time, everyone had essentially arrived, ready to board the transport plane for the site immediately after eating.

"There were two countries that were hostile toward each other over spheres of influence, eventually leading to a great war. Since they had been fighting for decades, it could be said that each side wanted to annihilate the other," Ximeng explained. What he was actually referring to was the conflict between Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II.

"Why?" She pressed closer, forcing Ruoli to retreat, for Jing Tan was currently exuding a dangerous aura that bore down directly upon her.

Tang Youzhi saw me first. He was surprised at first, then released Liu Yanyan's hand and walked toward me.

He neither dodged nor parried. With a shout, he threw out both fists, meeting those iron claws head-on in a brutal exchange.

Master Hua suggested, "Since you cannot reach an agreement, how about I take the person away today? Whatever you decide to do tomorrow is none of my concern... Would that work?"

"Greetings, Ninth Prince." She was respectful, without a hint of negligence, her expression calm and her entire being radiating a sense of unfamiliar detachment and indifference.

The madam of the brothel realized belatedly that Guan Muxi had not come looking for the girls today; her expression changed instantly, and she stopped offering a welcoming smile.

Hu Pinzhi was somewhat exhausted. After obtaining the position of Shaanxi Administration Commissioner, he set off for Shaanxi.

"It seems that old geezer still has some consideration, knowing he should leave me a hint," Mo Fan said with a smile.

Shen Yunhao finally understood that everything was under her control and that she would catch the opponent off guard when the time came. He admired her strategy in his heart—a brilliant move of retreating to advance, planning every step carefully. It left the opponent with no way to defend, striking them down in one blow without the slightest chance of recovery.

The weather was balmy; the winter sun shone upon the earth, bringing a sense of warmth and comfort.

She glanced at Zuoqiu Xuhe, "Axu, I am heading back first. I am sleepy and going to take a nap." Ye Xi turned and left, regardless of whether he agreed or not.

"This matter has nothing to do with you; just watch the show," Emperor Jing clearly did not intend to let Lady Liu and her son off the hook today.

The conversation was so casual, yet Xu Zhichao remembered the incident very clearly. It was indeed Ai Fengtuo who had asked him to speak about and personally conduct the intense bidding for the vintage grape wine, which was why he had actively taken a bottle of dry white wine to give to Ai Fengtuo.

He saw that Xu Zhichao’s door was open and peered inside, trying to see where Xu Zhichao was. In the end, even after sticking his head into the room, he could not catch a glimpse of him.

Yuan Lin was very clever. Instead of answering Mo Fan’s question directly, he deflected it by explaining the situation in terms of resources.

After saying this, Okamura Naruto led Mieziko away. Mieziko looked at me with deep affection; to be honest, this way of parting was truly heartbreaking.

Thinking of this, Ye Liang felt a chill down his spine. If he made the wrong choice, the consequences would be irredeemable.

Looking at the squad of soldiers behind Tian Feng, Yuan Xi was speechless. Had his older brother betrayed him?

After everyone left, Yuan Xi took a deep breath and, taking Gongsun Baoyue with him, walked out of the warm house.

Bai Qiulian, like Bai Li before her, gazed into the distance. The sun leaped out from behind the brilliant morning clouds, covering the sea in ten thousand miles of shimmering, dazzling golden light.

"I wondered who it was—so it is you! Hmph, I spared your life that day. What, have you lived long enough and come knocking on my door to seek death?" Xiong Ba’s expression was arrogant, his words filled with cruelty and disdain.

Those beads were crafted by his grandfather’s own hands. Once they were all shattered, he would step into the realm of the Sages.

Just when everyone thought Jiang Hao was doomed, he moved at that critical, split-second moment.

Zhang Lianyi did not like discussing such things with her cousin; she tugged at Qin Hao’s sleeve as a way to comfort him: "Don't pay any attention to them."

Shunzi was strong and sturdy; it didn't take long for him to row the boat to the shore. Naturally, Liu Zheng’s attendants were waiting at the landing spot. After all, Liu Zheng was a great official, and he had brought so many supplies that his entourage exceeded five hundred people.

After saying that, I drew the Male Sword and slashed out. Wherever the sword passed, the mist dispersed, but as soon as the sword moved on, the mist immediately closed back in. Seeing this, I slashed a few more times, but the result remained the same.

Ling Yefeng looked at the Five Directional Thunder Gods. Whenever he thought of Wang Yuyao, a smile would involuntarily appear on his face—a smile of happiness from the depths of his heart.

Among them, one-striped medicinal pills were of the Human Grade; two and three-striped were Earth Grade; and four, five, and six-striped pills were of the Heaven Grade.

Meeting his dark eyes, Lin Jiajia inexplicably thought of the look in his eyes during that video in City A. At the time, he had been silent, and she had been naked, watched by him for so long; clearly, she should have been the one angry, yet not only did he show no sign of apology, but he also wore an expression of deep dissatisfaction.

Turning back, Lin Jiajia looked at Fu Shijin in the hospital bed and could finally no longer resist leaning over, resting her face gently against his chest.

Most importantly, according to everyone’s intelligence, Xiao Chen was one of the members of the Xia family’s mansion, but he had not married into the Xia family, which meant that as a fierce general with a different surname, he was not yet fully bound to the Xia clan.

If it were in the past, had I dared to puncture the condom without telling her, she would have surely turned against me on the spot.

The next morning, without the sound of horns or drums, the enemy’s sword-and-shield soldiers appeared once again on the open ground in front of the fortress. The difference this time was that the enemy troops were carrying torches, scaling ladders, and some were clearly hauling battering rams.
