Chapter 45

"Look at her, how old is she and still always so unserious." Mother Song watched Song Yuanyao's back with a smile and complained to Father Song.

"Who is that person? Where is he?" he asked, only to catch Xiao Bai's ambiguous, half-smiling gaze.

After having Jiang Baili retreat first, Xu Xilin turned back, walked out of the bombed and tattered residential building, and headed toward the front lines.

Although due to delayed news, this great victory had happened several months ago, and by now the armies of both sides should have ceased fighting to prepare for the winter, regardless, knowing that Cao Cao had suffered another setback was good news for anti-Cao royalists like them.

The moment Brother Ai spotted Xi Yu perched on the ridge, all his memories rushed back together. New hatred and old grudges welled up in his heart, making him eager to strip Xi Yu's skin off. He scrambled to his feet, grabbed the treasured sword from the ground, thrust it straight upward, and shouted incessantly.

The snot-nosed kid next door sucked on his dirty fingers, innocent and completely unaware of the fear surrounding him, showing very little fright. Suddenly, as if he had discovered something fun, he asked his father word for word, sounding very certain.

Xu Xiuxiu sat in a daze on the shoe cabinet, watching him turn and leave without a single hesitation, hearing the heavy sound of the front door closing from the outside. Unconsciously, her cheeks were already covered in tears.

Saluting Wang Yong, she embarked on her very first sortie. Wang Yong could operate and control her through the light screen.

Seeing that the emperor was already dead, why was the empress still protecting him like this? Could there be something suspicious going on here?

The Princess of Youzhou truly had good judgment; at least she could tell that Li Ba dao did not want to make a move just yet.

Gu Ming felt that her reaction right now was indeed a bit over the top, almost like a severe drought meeting sweet dew. There was an indescribable yearning hidden deep in her heart, making her throat itch as if she wanted to indulge in it completely.

Mo Yidai seemed to understand something as she gave Gu Ming a knowing smile, and then turned her head away.

Leiting nodded politely to Eldest Master Ren, addressing him as "Eldest Master Ren," and then lowered his gaze to look at Ren Yaohua.

I lowered my head to kiss her earlobe, her body already radiating intense heat. Turning around, I captured her lips. Lips and tongues intertwined, saliva exchanged, the husband and wife beneath the night sky were already lost in passion.

"Gu Ming, let me introduce you. This is Song Yao, the partner I brought with me this time," Su Mei said to Gu Ming with an affectionate smile.

However, when Lady Shi mentioned this matter to the Nara clan, the latter pondered for a moment and suggested that Wanning should go along as well.

Lan Qin shook her head, putting on a pitiful and helpless expression. Jin Dingjuan let out a slight sigh, but in her heart, she grew even more resentful toward Su Qing.

Yet, Bai Xin's next sentence plunged Fan Wei, who had been feeling as though he were floating in the clouds, straight down into the eighteenth level of hell.

As they penetrated deeper, Qin Han could sense everyone growing somewhat tense. They drew their weapons, hacking away at the shrubs beneath their feet, their eyes frequently scanning their surroundings with vigilance.

After marriage, Qin Ziqiao had never shown him any concern; such an affectionate gesture was something he had never even dared to dream of.

Liyah's pale purple demonic pupils bloomed with an extraordinary radiance, and her power erupted at that very moment.

He took large strides, moving like a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the steps outside the house.

In practically any region where civilians could legally carry firearms, the weaponry produced by the Ashen Delta could be found.

Lin Xiao brought out a pair of plush slippers, placed them at her feet, and pointed to the corn and sparried ribs soup and century egg and lean pork congee on the table.

Everyone seated in the VIP boxes on the second floor felt unsatisfied and resentful. They had hoped to witness the so-called Lan family curse with their own eyes tonight, but the result was truly disappointing.

This was back when Shulan had just returned to China, and Shu Peijian, terrified that she might make another move against Shu Anya, had sent it to her specifically.

Above was a headless and tailless heavenly river hanging across the dome; below was a boundless sea of blood. Two crimson sword lights drifted aimlessly, clusters of red lotus flowers bloomed, and a giant banner fluttered, drawing the praise of countless blood shadows.

At this moment, even if he were empowered by the Daoist Ploughman wearing the Heavenly Demon Battle Robe and transformed into the true form of the Primordial Heavenly Demon, he would still be able to put up a fight.

Back then, to preserve Yaowu's pride, the outcome of the three-year agreement was said to be a draw between the two of them. Unexpectedly, after returning, Yaowu added a condition, claiming she had been soft-hearted and thus held back a tiny bit of her strength—just a tiny bit—allowing Chu Yang to barely manage a draw.

And what about the words Lady Wen had spoken earlier? What precisely was that matter from back then? Was there truly a hidden story behind the death of the Lou clan member years ago? And what was the actual truth?

The Liangzhou Military Governor's Command was not located within the main city of Liangcheng. This command was equivalent to the military regions of Zhou An's past life. Under normal circumstances, a military region would not be placed inside a main city. In the Eastern Qian Dynasty, some military regions were located in subsidiary county towns near a state's main city, while others were far away from the main city, which had a lot to do with the local terrain.

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Mo Ran was immediately filled with curiosity. There were quite a few powerhouses in the Undying Bird Mercenary Corps; how could no one have ever completed a mission here until now?

Of course, a portion of them also came for Hua Qingyan, or more precisely, for Hua Qingyan's culinary skills.

Ye Tian gasped, deactivated his demonic state, and realized that the biggest problem now was how to transport all these crystals away.

He leaned against the edge of the coffin, his gaze fixed intently on the four of them as he swept his eyes back and forth. The confusion between his brows grew heavier by the moment.

Yet Lin'er's voice continued to ring out from outside, sounding quite relentless. However, that person was patient; Sui Yang kept his ears pricked to listen closely to the movement outside the door, but aside from Lin'er's voice, no one else made a sound.

Everyone in the reception hall was startled by Hua Xi's sudden action, taking quite a while to recover their wits. They looked at each other in dismay, having no idea what kind of scene Hua Xi was trying to make. Hua Xi looked quite wretched at the moment, with blood and flesh blurred on her forehead, and blood smeared all over her face.

Sister-in-law did not come, older sister did not return, younger brother and younger sister were not on holiday, and Xiuxi thus left her home.

No matter how well-built a structure was, when Taishang Laojun fought Amitabha Buddha, what kind of building could withstand the shockwaves?

There were not many households or fields in the village. Back when they relied entirely on the mercy of the heavens for food, the villagers often suffered from hunger. Later on, they gradually began foraging for food and drink from the mountains, which allowed them to barely scrape by.

This time, Fang Yuan taking advantage of the chaos to run abroad had already made him extremely furious. Simply driving her away at the time had been an act of great restraint.
