Volume 1, Chapter 46: Are Too Many Daughters a Bad Thing?

Amidst continuous explosions, the shrill alarms inside the Night Hawk Commando military camp echoed through the skies. Over a dozen high-powered searchlights were switched on simultaneously, sweeping and patrolling the surroundings. Beside the searchlights, the 12.7mm heavy machine guns had their waterproof covers removed, revealing their pitch-black muzzles.

Zhong Tingyue found her thoughts coinciding with his, yet she lacked connections here. While Aunt Li's business could not be halted, their own family could also take these baskets out to the streets to sell.

It was only a pity that Luo Cheng was too far away; being in Beiping Prefecture, he truly could not make it over in time. They could always gather later when there was an opportunity to visit Beiping Prefecture.

The two men looked somewhat alike. One of them was covered in fat, the flesh on his face trembling with his words and movements, while the other appeared rather frail and slender.

They were well aware of their younger brother's vile temperament. Just as perfect as he appeared before the screen, that was precisely how malicious he was in reality.

This was the apocalypse; how could they still indulge her bad habits? She was already picky when there was food available—what would she do if even drinking water became impossible in the future?

Thinking that once the war was over he could live a peaceful and blissful life with Ah Yuan, Lu Peifeng could not help but let a scatter of starry smiles bloom across his face.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Song reacted a beat too late. With such immense strength on his part, the two of them were dragged right out of the restaurant.

With that, he smiled. The wandering Daoist priest had indeed spoken thus: Lu Nanchen's life would be fraught with perils but ultimately safe.

When the time came, Lu Nanchen would demand the lights be turned off, telling Gu Beinian to stop playing on her phone, while he himself would sigh endlessly and fail to fall asleep.

Mo Mo asked in surprise: "Really? I worry about the future." Qian Guang replied: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you. We are friends."

At the suggestion of Princess Yuzhen, Li Longji gave the order that following the announcement of the palace examination results, a banquet should be hosted beside the Qujiang Pond to entertain the newly minted imperial scholars. He also intended to make a personal appearance, sharing the joy with the common people and appreciating the elegance and talent of the scholars firsthand.

Just moments ago, everyone received word that Wusi had agreed to the duel and was currently on his way.

Ye Feng questioned Granny Yu and the others regarding the situation of the Vulture Palace and the jianghu, but they had all devoted themselves entirely to searching everywhere the moment they discovered the disappearance of the Tianshan Child Elder, remaining completely oblivious to everything else.

At this moment, Meng Batian seemed transformed into a beast that only knew how to destroy, demolishing everything in front of him. Sometimes seizing the beam of battle qi and crushing it directly, Meng Batian looked upon all the destruction he caused and let out a piercing whistle that resounded through the heavens.

Under such circumstances, why should anyone be expected to be a good person? Just like the endless stream of deliberate collision scams, why did this happen? Was it not because these evildoers went unpunished? If staging a fall to extort money carried a fine of tens of thousands, let's see which elderly person would still dare to collapse and frame others, or lie down in front of a car refusing to move!

From beginning to end, Xiao Jiangyuan treated it all as a joke. She leaned lazily against the round-backed armchair in a slanted posture, and though a smile lingered on her lips, her eyes held not even a shred of mirth.

Regarding such disappearances, the Magic Guild claimed it was a normal phenomenon. In the past, magicians had also gone missing. Magicians died as well; killed in uninhabited places, they simply became permanently missing. Many people had vanished in the Skye Mountains before. Mercenaries, adventurers, and magicians alike were all slain in the scramble for treasures.

These two spells were of little practical use to Ed, but through them, he had learned a secret of the Elven race.

Seeming to descend from the clouds or rise from the depths of a canyon, even though Yuan Suiyun's hearing surpassed ordinary people tenfold, he fundamentally could not determine the exact whereabouts of the voice's owner.

Xun Liu muttered incessantly in her heart, raising her head to look around and finding that everyone waiting wore displeased expressions, leaving her clueless as to what she should do.

Recovering his sight, Xue Hao's field of vision suddenly broadened. "This—" Xue Hao could not help exclaiming. Countless gems were embedded in the surroundings, carrying the convergence of spiritual energy; there was actually a Spirit-Gathering Array here.

Lu Tian simply stared fixedly at the green grass in front of him without moving a muscle, not even blinking, resembling a statue.

Ares disdained Diana's attack entirely, letting the tongues of fire strike his body directly! Yet little did he know the might of this sword technique; the Sword of the Fire God, combined with Yuan Xing's sparks, had reached the realm of a divine sword.

While Shi Kefa was indeed a member of the Donglin Party and a proud pupil of the Donglin grand luminary Zuo Guangdou, he was certainly no fool.

There was a practice in the entertainment industry known as hype, and an even more sophisticated practice known as seizing an opportunity for hype. In truth, the waters of the entertainment industry were the deepest and the hardest to fathom.

In the past, the tax checkpoints established by the Ministry of Revenue across various locations—whether situated along the grand canal, at post-road passes, or city gates—had historically possessed only the authority to collect transit tax silver from passing carriages, horses, and merchants. Never before had it been heard that tax checkpoints also shouldering the responsibility of building bridges and paving roads.

He believed that Chen Daochang would not leave him a path of absolute doom unless this old monster wished to completely sever the inheritance of the Heavenly Mystery Sect.

After launching a single attack, the Fire Python Dragon immediately broke away and fled forward. In truth, its attack was a feint, while escaping was its actual goal.

No wonder it had taken him so many days of flight to spot a powerhouse like Su Mei. The location of the King's Court should undoubtedly be at the very center of the entire Demon Realm, which meant the diameter of the Demon Realm must be at least three to four times that million-li span.

"Oh my, doesn't sister know? That big villain was just talking about that strange tales book or whatever; fox spirits are absolute great beauties!" Pamela said with a loud laugh, then dove straight into the shadows and ran off.
