Chapter 35: Reviewing the Surveillance Footage

The office was simply furnished: four white walls, two desks with chairs, and a sofa. The light was somewhat dim.

“Have a seat.”

Captain Guo brewed them a cup of hot tea and ushered them onto the sofa.

“Captain Guo.” Fu Yuan greeted him from the sofa, a trace of fatigue in her voice.

She slowly sat down, her body slightly curled inward, her face somewhat pale.

“Your condition is already very unhealthy…”

Du Xuan seemed to have made arrangements long ago. It did not take her much time to bring Darling and her two grandsons to a branded fashion store. The staff there were also familiar with her; as soon as they entered, they led them to the high-end formalwear section.

Seeing this, King Azure Waves remained silent for a while before speaking slowly. He did not make any false show of refusal. These things were far too scarce for them. Instead, he solemnly thanked Xia Yang once again.

As for adopting her as his sworn younger sister, that was naturally something she had made up. Still, Xu Qingtan really might put on such a superficial display of affection. Whether she agreed or not, however, was her own affair.

“With Feng Ji’s personality, he really could do something like that. Tsk, tsk—and he even said it was absolutely one of a kind. Honestly, I feel like beating him up.” Su Yuyang spoke jokingly.

“She is an American-born Chinese, a new director who has won an international award.” Qin An reported every detail faithfully.

After Prince Gong expressed his thanks to the Emperor, he cracked his whip and urged his horse into a swift gallop. Naturally, all the soldiers setting out for battle followed close behind.

The so-called Boundary Sea was a shattered river of time and space. As its waves rolled, countless ancient worlds appeared and vanished within them. It was a sea that even immortals had to forsake everything to cross. Even undying true immortals found it difficult to force their way across; only genuine supreme powerhouses could move unhindered through the river of time and space.

But he had sworn that he would protect her well—protect her innocent, lovable nature and that fragile heart of hers.

“This…” Darling stared at him speechlessly, then glanced at Baby sitting beside her. “Didn’t Mommy say this is a problem between you and Baby? So you should discuss it with your brother!”

With that, she hurriedly slipped away.

I was hurled into the stone wall. Fortunately, demonic energy shielded my entire body. Otherwise, even if the water wyrm’s strike had not killed me, this impact alone would have smashed me to pieces.

Only thirty seconds later, the enormous Republic fleet crossed the boundless distance between the Earth and the Moon and arrived at its destination.

Tianxing Bolang stood atop a tall building in the city, looking down at the scene in the square while his mind raced.

Ellie had never expected Chu Jianchen to remain so calm after learning that he was about to lose two elite ship girls. It was as though, in his eyes, the value of her and her sister was not even worth the money spent on the celebration. A ball of anger rose within her as she glared indignantly at Chu Jianchen’s face.

“Actually, it’s nothing serious. Our military police force has taken a liking to two of the ship girls under your command. We would like to ask you to part with them and allow them to join our military police force.” Snowfall nodded at Chu Jianchen and spoke with a smile.

After arranging our lodging, Brother Zhao discussed matters with Doctor Liang. They planned to take me to Lumbini, the birthplace of the Buddha, to pay their respects.

Just then, wave after wave of exclamations arose from our own ranks. Yang Jie looked up and saw that the quilts covering the enemy vessel’s bow had been torn away, revealing the muzzles of numerous Type Three Frankish cannons in the distance.

That girl’s temperament was so erratic that it was truly rare in this world… In short, she was somewhat impossible to understand.

“What?” I was even more confused. “What exactly do you mean?” The old gentleman spoke in rather profound terms.

The man explained my identity to the middle-aged leader. The latter hurriedly bowed to me and invited me into the city.

When I heard those words, my eyes immediately filled with tears. I downed the cup of wine Wizard Master had poured for me, then dropped to my knees before him with a thud. Wizard Master gave a solemn smile and continued drinking his wine and eating peanuts, offering no response.
