The hand that had just picked up a piece of cabbage suddenly trembled. His gaze drifted uneasily toward the dishes on the table, and for a long while he said nothing.

Listening to Wu Wu, I was suddenly seized by an ominous feeling. What exactly did she mean?

This strike would decide the outcome of the battle. There was no retreat, no alternative but to advance without hesitation—and that was precisely the essence of the Guizang Severing Sword Art.

Cheng Jiaxuan’s heart churned with unease. She had a strong feeling that the “clumsy little maid” Prince Fu had mentioned was referring to her. The viciousness in his voice was frightening, as though he intended to flay her and pull out her sinews. She truly could not understand how she had offended him, and instinctively shrank farther behind the tree trunk.

After all, she could not tell Leng Dianchen now. Otherwise, she had no idea what Leng Dianchen might do.

Many spectators had placed bets on Zhao Qin and me. Naturally, my account was quite famous on Yicheng. Many Go enthusiasts knew the Demon Sect’s mighty player, “Cousin, Spare Me.” I had first encountered computers in middle school, and when I registered the account, my cousin had just bullied me that very day. So I chose “Cousin, Spare Me” as my nickname.

“Allergic?” Long Lianfei made no attempt to conceal his confusion over the word. He asked with complete sincerity.

A flash of anger crossed Long Lianfei’s cold, stern eyes. He shot Tian Xue a fierce look, then, without another word, seized Chen’er by the hand and dragged her outside.

After breakfast, Gao Shimeng called to ask about Simon’s filming crew. They had already set out from the Guanzhong region and were on their way to Huashan. Gao Shimeng’s team had also contacted the Huashan tourism authorities. After all, Gao Shimeng was an important figure, and the security arrangements had to be properly handled.

As for Liu Dai, he felt that his relationship with him was fairly decent, so he made no preparations against him and returned to Jibei without worry.

The children were eager to go swimming and had no patience left to suck at the snail shells. But the river snails stir-fried with alfalfa greens were simply too delicious, and Old Xu kept sucking one after another without stopping.

They said A-Ning was a lifelong bachelor who had never married. Others claimed that A-Ning had someone he loved and had remained faithful to her. They did not know the reason, but she did: A-Ning had always lived that way for her sake.

Many people discovered that the villa district was a safe base. Gradually, even the houses that had originally stood empty began to fill with residents.

After turning these people down, Meteor officially entered secluded cultivation and devoted himself to preparing for the upcoming Imperial Guard Camp Grand Tournament.

By the time Yu Liu reached this point, Wei Cao had basically figured out what grudge existed between himself and Yang Jiguang. Quite clearly, it was a dispute over a stolen wife—only this particular grudge was not as deep as most, because the “wife” had been the one to cheat first.

“Second Brother! Is it really you?” Shen Miaotong seized Shen Moli’s hand and pressed it against the right side of her face.

The journey had left them utterly exhausted. All they wanted now was to find somewhere and sleep soundly.

Only the horses were ordinary, no different from the mounts ridden by common cavalrymen in the Bingzhou army. They were nothing special, though naturally they were far better than plow horses and other inferior nags.

Many people mocked him for looking down on others that day, saying he had been blind with arrogance. Others ridiculed him for having the nerve to return and watch the excitement even after Shopkeeper Zhao had dismissed him.

Everyone thought this might be the end of the world. Later, however, they discovered that things were not as terrible as they had imagined.

In truth, my university life left a much deeper impression on me than my middle- and high-school years. Far more people from society had become entangled in it, and so many cruel human affairs unfolded right beside me. I’ll tell everyone about them gradually in the future.

That evening, the muscular man and I set out for Big White Legs School. I had even deliberately brought my switchblade with me.

In other words, the northern exit had not yet been discovered or attacked by the imperial troops. They still had a chance to escape.

Awakening from her cultivation, Ye Xi did not hurry to climb down from the tree. Maintaining her previous position, she shifted her eyes toward the dense shrubbery below. The area was covered with low bushes, barely half a meter high. Someone hiding among them would not be noticed unless one was paying close attention.

When Zhao Tianyu had stayed at this hotel, Mina had booked the room, so Zhao Tianyu’s name did not appear at the front desk.

Yu Meiren was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Even while pregnant, her skin and features remained tender and smooth. Merely holding her made him feel wonderful; compared with Yiliang, who was already over thirty, she was incomparably better.

Shangguan Liuer was happily clapping her hands up ahead. Liang Yue smiled, endured the pain in her feet, and walked toward her.

It turned out that Shen Rui’s assumption—that ranks were evaluated solely by strength—was not entirely correct. The most accurate term was the comprehensive superpower coefficient. Shen Rui’s ability was strength, so a coefficient of more than seven hundred and thirty translated, in his case, into an attack force of more than seven hundred tons.

For a moment, they actually forgot that they were all doomed to be prisoners. In any case—even among convicts, there had to be distinctions of rank and status. Besides, among all these people, fewer than one in ten could truly perform the trade they had once practiced.

The military strategists led by Wen Huanzhang were deeply moved by what they heard. As one, they bowed to Ren Yuan.

Clearly, the former was too difficult to accomplish, so most armies chose the latter. For example, if ten thousand men fired arrows at a target simultaneously, whether any individual arrow was accurate no longer mattered.
