To maintain secrecy, Ye Zetao turned off his satellite phone and inspected the six hundred people preparing to depart, confiscating all their communication devices and allowing them to carry only essential weapons before setting off. Although this matter was beyond his authority, it left him feeling somewhat indebted when he saw Tu Fendou, especially since Tu still displayed such high enthusiasm.

That moment of delight flickered briefly before his expression returned to calm. Just moments ago, he had been a mere patron; now, dressed, he was a refined gentleman.

Zhenfei’s face flushed repeatedly; though not clever, she was not foolish. She clearly understood whom the Empress Dowager’s words targeted and felt a surge of resentment. Yet, since the speaker was the Empress Dowager, even if scolded, she had to listen respectfully. After a silent snort in her heart, she obediently kept quiet.

“Is that so?” her father replied somewhat distractedly, seemingly disheartened by my previous question.

“...Is that so?” Though disbelief was written plainly across her face, Sakuya said no more. In the quiet that followed, bathed in moonlight, I couldn’t help but think: Sakuya, you truly are an extraordinary beauty.

“I still have tens of millions in cash in my account, as well as over a dozen establishments. If you spare me, all of these are yours,” Song Tiegang shouted at Prince Jun, staring at the dark barrel of the raised gun.

Thinking of this, I sighed softly, glancing at the little girl clinging to me with fatigue on her face, recalling the madness of last night and feeling a bit guilty toward her.

Zhan Tianyou was full of reason, yet before Fang Jianxiong’s words, he couldn’t find a single argument to refute.

Guo Xiang, who had been lounging lazily in his seat, waiting to witness a comedy, now regarded Zhao Xuan with eyes of wonder, shaking his head with a wry smile as if Zhao Xuan were some ridiculous creature.

That morning, he had taken Princess Jiu, Zisu, and Yudie to the palace to pay respects to Emperor Xuan and shared a family meal.

He remembered clearly that when the monkey came as an envoy, adhering to the belief that fate is mine to shape, Qi Tongwei ended his brilliant, albeit brief and tumultuous, life in his own way.

Notably, Qi Yuan could harvest lifespan through contracts; though the amount was small, over the years he had reaped nearly 105 years in total.

After photographing and documenting the scene, the police, assisted by the forensic pathologist, removed the body from the circular platform. A preliminary examination concluded death due to excessive blood loss.

Yin Lan shook his head, signaling no hurry; he would not leave unless the Fire Bear Beastman acted.

Since the general entrusted such a critical mission to him, he had no choice but to risk his life.

After climbing for a while, he finally reached the summit. Looking down from there, he truly grasped his position.

A melodious and graceful tune, like celestial music descending to earth, floated over Platform Five.

Zhong Xiaoshan found the living room scene tolerable but turned her head in sorrow. Zheng Xinyu’s reaction was intense, a wave of nausea rising, though she managed to suppress it.

She had never traveled for leisure, only co-authoring a special issue on natural sciences with several oceanographers.

“Yes, sir!” The ghost warriors and goblin wolf cavalry received orders and began their assault from the ground.

Today, Han Long was called to assist, primarily to assess his strength and convince him to wholeheartedly cooperate.

Consort Min felt slighted by her, yet she smiled and nodded, cursing Ling Xiu bitterly in her heart.

Since she started sleeping separately from He Jingmo, she hadn’t rested so comfortably and peacefully in a long time.

Following Asuna’s direction, everyone noticed the change in the battle’s momentum. Thanks to Kirito’s covert actions, the monsters’ offensive was gradually checked, and the adventurers regained control.

Lin Xiao understood the principle well: building the mainland’s capital was akin to creating a successful model, ready for nationwide promotion. But King Manshan overlooked the most crucial factor—the Tairong. Lin Xiao wouldn’t dampen Man Shan’s spirits or undercut him; instead, he pondered how to withstand the Tairong army.

A moment’s cleverness backfired; he thought he had temporarily trapped Bai Mo but unwittingly created the perfect opportunity for Bai Mo to rescue Wan Yan during the stalemate between the two armies.

“Damn, Li the Cripple’s lackey!” Li Tai muttered under his breath. This fellow had often opposed him historically, truly infuriating.

“Who says that? I’ve seen scenes like this many times—just a few dead bodies. Back in the day, I smashed one with a single stick after another, from Chang’an City to Shuofang City, and from Shuofang to the Turkic king’s city...” Li Tai rambled on.

At this moment, Ning Fan’s unexpected strength shocked everyone—it was an unforeseen turn of events.
