Volume 1, Chapter 66: The Dashing Female Military Officer

Before them, a figure stood with hands behind their back on the rooftop.

"Captain, we've been monitoring that car for a long time. Apart from looking rather strange, there's nothing unusual about it so far. The driver is a woman."

The man didn't speak. He wore a somewhat cute cartoon hoodie on his upper body and sweatpants with elastic cuffs on his lower body, making him look like a student.

Zhou Kang had indeed rendered a great service. Without losing a single soldier, he had defused a catastrophe between two nations and extricated his own country from a predictable war. By simply sitting back and watching the tigers fight from the mountain, he could reap considerable rewards.

Naturally, Jimo Qinglian also felt a deep aversion to it. Cooperating with other organizations and factions—even if cooperation were necessary—meant merely splitting profits, which was by no means her original intention.

Xiong Dawei ultimately uttered a late "no," the words still rolling in his throat when he heard a crisp pop as the bottle cap was unscrewed.

"By the way, are there any conditions or restrictions for participating in the trial?" Xiao Jingrui steered the conversation back to the original topic.

It couldn't be said that the intentions of these three families were entirely wrong, but their methods were misguided. Without inquiring about the reactions of the other families, they had all coincidentally used feigned illness as an excuse. The Empress Dowager saw through the deception at once, feeling only that they looked down upon the royal family, and deep disgust had already taken root in her heart.

"Forget it then. If I kill you, aren't your belongings mine anyway?" the eccentric old man snorted coldly, raising his carving knife once again.

Song Chu'yi propped her chin on her bent knee, scratched her messy hair, and glanced at Gongsun Gu. He looked to be only around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, right in the prime of his youth and full of ambition. Therefore, he would not let slip any opportunity that could help him realize his ambitions. All that talk about "the prosperity of the State of Zhao" was merely superficial rhetoric.

The world-renowned rebel had returned. Yet, under the curious gazes of all Aランス, he had vanished once more, plunging into the mountains of the southern coast with his four hundred odd followers, leaving not a trace behind.

Amidst the soft whispers, the accumulated snow crunched underfoot. Xia Dong took a deep breath, slowly turned around, and remained expressionless.

It had to be said. By brandishing that banner and displaying this private room, Dawei had smoothly managed to deal with several rivals who had always opposed him in the past.

"Could... could this be the barrier of the Inner Sea opening up?" The master of Biluo Island wore an expression of wild ecstasy.

However, they were highly wary of humanity's high-power artillery. Such weaponry possessed immense destructive force and posed a fatal threat to wild beasts below the fifth rank.

That sensation just moments ago felt as though millions of stars were crushing down upon him, giving him the illusion that he couldn't even catch his breath.

Yang Tao was covered in scars, most of which had stopped bleeding. Yet the wounds inflicted by the Gathering Clouds Sword still oozed dark blood.

"Nonsense! A saint's weapon is also known as a saintly artifact, an existence that surpasses divine artifacts, because no one except a saint can forge them. Who knows how countless people yearn to obtain one?" Elder Feng wore an expression of haughtiness, though a trace of bitterness flickered deep within his pupils.

Bailing's current appearance was also quite peculiar. Her face was flushed red, looking infinitely charming. Even though her expression remained aloof, the sight of her lightly biting her lower lip possessed a breathtaking allure.

Lin Kaiyue refused to believe it. Were the wolf cavalry not made of flesh and blood after all? Amidst the terrifying lethality of the thunder-shaking bombs and repeating crossbows, wouldn't they be slaughtered just like pigs and sheep?

The wedding proceeded very smoothly, but just as the couple was about to bow to heaven and earth, Wang Banxian suddenly fell silent.

Because everyone was far too worried about the boss's safety, they failed to notice the abnormality in Ye Yiran's expression.

The second time was when Lin Huan had just stepped foot on Banner Island, and the Destroyer Gauntlet happened to emit an aura of destruction.

Before Huan Wu could speak, Huan Youji demanded loudly. Judging by the envoy's appearance, it was evident that something had gone wrong on Di Sheng's route as well.
