Volume 1, Chapter 47: Can This Engagement Still Be Considered Valid? Isn't This Illegal?!

Wen Zhi was somewhat puzzled, "Why?"

Forcing herself to smile at someone she disliked all of a sudden was still quite a challenge.

"Because I don't really like your expression right now. It's hideous."

Wen Zhi: "..."

She squeezed out a smile that was even uglier than the previous one, grinning with extreme reluctance, "Is this enough?"

Deafening explosions echoed one after another. Every Single Yang Divine Thunder burst forth with boundless lightning. With over a hundred divine thunderbolts exploding simultaneously, the blinding flashes overlapped heavily, forming a composite sphere of thunder and flame that engulfed the Snake Demon King.

"Good, exceptionally good. The reason the Great Song can enjoy such prosperity today is precisely because it possesses many righteous men like General Cao. Do tell our department everything you know; once we compile and investigate the case, we will surely deliver justice to the people of Cangzhou." Gao Qiu's heart was stirred with intense excitement—Zheng Zhi's head was already within his grasp.

If it had been in the past, even if Lu Ruxue were beaten to death, she would never have uttered such words. Even if Mu Xuanyang were left to die here, she would never have compromised.

However, when she was trying to understand the country of Japan, she had relied on period dramas and documentary footage from the Showa era, which was completely out of touch with reality—hence why she had worn such an outfit to the interview. Yet, the reason she came here to apply for the job in the first place was because she had detected the traces of the Demon King.

Soichiro Murata was no stranger to Beidu City; he had spent a considerable amount of time here and possessed a thorough understanding of Zhongzhou's political environment and figures. However, looking at the ruins before him now, he felt a faint sense of unfamiliarity.

"Most of you present here probably know that I went out for a while after the match ended, right?" she asked.

Because the aircraft used by the German Naval Aviation Corps could not be delivered to the navy in time, the German naval aviators initially used training aircraft belonging to the Air Force to train their flight cadets.

Yet at that very moment, accompanied by a spoken voice, a platinum-colored barrier suddenly unfurled above the heads of the rear troops.

"Xuanyang, there is something I would like to ask for your help with." Lu Ruxue had already learned from her father that the emperor had bestowed a five-hundred-mu imperial estate upon Mu Xuanyang.

Shadow did not push any further; his kiss, light as a feather, merely brushed against Xiao Qiyue's lips. It lingered for a very, very long time—so long that Xiao Qiyue felt as though a century had passed—before Shadow finally released her.

Nearby, Mo Qiongwu couldn't help but chuckle softly. Unlike the anxiety and worry of the others, Mo Qiongwu's attitude toward Mo Qiongyan's ordeal was rather peculiar. This was not to say she didn't care about Mo Qiongyan; rather, alongside her concern, there was a subtle hint of teasing.

The people from the six major cities began to disperse, as their interactions had never been numerous to begin with. They had originally united for the shared goal of hunting down the Wild Boar King, forming an alliance. Now that they had given up on the Wild Boar King, the alliance was essentially dead in name. Upon stepping out of the Wild Boar Forest, everyone went their separate ways.

After all, this was the dormitory area for provincial-level government organs. If no urgent message was transmitted, it meant Li Yuan was safe and sound outside, and knowing he was safe, she could rest easy.

These words made me exceptionally furious, yet they also provoked a strange urge to laugh—I was laughing out of sheer anger. Squatting on the ground, I simply couldn't fathom it. My little Chouwa was only two years old. This cave was two meters high, and even I would struggle to climb up, so how on earth could he have crawled up there?

Youmie, who had been constantly by Mo Qiongwu's side, felt a deep pang of heartache seeing her like this. Being an orphan himself, the Master of the Nether Sect had never bestowed upon him any paternal love. Though he called the Nether Sect Master his adoptive father, apart from the title, it was no different from being a subordinate. Therefore, he could not fail to empathize with the grief she felt over losing her mother.

Yanshan obediently turned his back. Tianxing untied his belt and bound his own eyes with it. Groping with both hands, he slowly slid Tianying's trousers down. Tianying lay prone on the ground, a flush of crimson rising across his cheeks.
