Chapter 46: Something Happened

"Xu Jiaojiao, you get out here! Was it you who had people talking nonsense outside?"

Xu Guodong rushed over to find Zhaojiao, murder written all over his face. The Old Madam and Aunt Qiu behind him were as pale as ghosts.

"Xu Guodong, you still have the nerve to come shouting here about the fifth girl? How could a mere daughter of the family have such formidable capability? If you don't want anyone to know, you shouldn't have done it in the first place. Xu Guodong, you truly have some skills! All these years you acted poor and played the fool in front of me, while outside you were buying mansions and keeping people... You beast!"

Only now did she truly understand why his face had worn that expression of unspeakable struggle and anguish at that time.

Xie Nianyi walked down the stairs swaying unsteadily. Seeing that Hua Qingyi was already waiting for him, he waved at Hua Qingyi and then stumbled down. Seeing that Xie Nianyi had come out, Hua Qingyi didn't say a word and pulled him along as they left.

When Long Zhaoyan's vital pulse had recovered to a certain degree, Li Tianyou took out the flask of liquor at his waist—which had absorbed the spiritual energy of the three enforcement elders—and gulped down several mouthfuls, frantically replenishing the true Qi within his body. For now he had to rush to Line-at-the-Sky, at least to ensure the safety of his teammates.

A rough voice came from the giant ship, driven by internal energy, sounding like a rolling, endless thunderclap.

Moreover, the Baijin Railway running alongside this highway had always been a primary target for destruction by the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Mountains whenever they launched an offensive. Through the unremitting efforts of the various Eighth Route Army units along the route, it was already dilapidated. However, compared to the beginning of the year, the repair speed simply could not keep up with the destruction speed of the Eighth Route Army.

The attack originated from inside the house. Li Tianyou locked onto the target and began to gather his strength. At this moment, he felt an unprecedented surplus of true Qi, as if it were inexhaustible. It seemed the potent liquor was beginning to take effect.

"Hey..." Avril wanted to say something, but the general had no intention of giving him a chance to persuade him.

Even in such a situation, President Abel's speech remained impeccably polite. Yet from his humble and respectful words, the Dead Infant felt wave after wave of irresistible force.

"Why! While there are green hills left, there's no need to worry about firewood! Why wouldn't he leave!" Fu Can roared.

Taiyuan—which, following the conclusion of the Pingjin Campaign, had become the last city in North China still under the control of the Nanjing regime—was officially declared liberated. At the same time, this also proclaimed the complete end of the Shanxi King's forty-year rule over Shanxi. The entire North China region became a sea of red.

In truth, this plan was still perfect. If they could successfully capture Lianpeng Island, relying on the Six Disrespects and the leaders of various sects—especially the overlooked Daoist Nun Dong Meixiang of Xiangyin Sect, who was only nineteen yet possessed formidable martial arts, and whose techniques carried the ability to vanquish enemies—it could be said that as long as the naval battle was won, Tu Xuanzhong was bound to perish.

And in the past, it was only I who regarded him as a friend. From the moment he approached me, to his clamoring to marry me, and then to his repeated excuses to help me escape, it was all deceit. Who says the beasts of primordial chaos have low intelligence? Their brains work exceptionally well.

Fortunately, Lu Sang knew where to draw the line. Seeing that Kong Yixian gave no response, she stopped making a fuss, shifting about restlessly like pins and needles, which annoyed the surrounding audience into restlessness as well.

Therefore, the Immortal Realm established the Monster Mansion, giving spirits who wanted to be good monsters a place to roost. Once they entered the monster registry and enrolled in schools, it became much easier for the Immortal Realm to manage them.

Yet another move that caught everyone by surprise, Zheng Bafa's behavior did not match his status. With his short, plump physique and rolling in wealth, he was a major tycoon; logically, he should have been most terrified of the word "bandit."

Inside a brightly lit living room of the villa, a young man in a Western suit was bowing his head to report on his work to a bald man in pajamas seated on a white sofa.

Yet, seeing that the hour was growing late and worrying about her health, for fear that she too might collapse from exhaustion, he stepped forward and gently embraced her, saying.

Listening to the voice drifting out, Qin Junxi instinctively closed his eyes. He somehow did not want to face the person who had been his trading partner.
