Volume 1, Chapter 66: The Eastern Palace is on Fire!

Even though Yang Tian had witnessed all kinds of grand spectacles, facing such touching and silent warmth, he could not help but sigh with emotion.

Outside the secret realm, everyone saw golden light shooting out brilliantly. The heavens shook, the earth quaked, and all living things trembled in submission.

Fan Zhenzhen cared the most about Wushuang. Seeing how preoccupied and absent-minded she had been ever since returning to the classroom, her heart ached deeply.

"You're asking for death!" Hearing Lin Xiu's words and catching his lewd gaze, she felt a surge of embarrassment and anger, and immediately grabbed a nearby throw pillow to hurl at him.

This level of space-time ninjutsu naturally could not compare to an even more advanced space-time ninjutsu—Kamui. The unique pupillary technique of the Mangekyou Sharingan was simply something ordinary ninja methods could not hope to match.

One has to admit, that girl Doudou really has an eye for beauty. At this moment, Si Fengxue was truly breathtakingly gorgeous, even surpassing that enchanting Yan Yuchen.

Trainees occasionally ran into Wang Ye at the base, and every time they greeted him, Wang Ye would respond with a smile, gentle and courteous, without any airs.

"Capable of the job" was hardly a glowing review; its subtext was "barely adequate, and nothing more."

It seemed the system's intelligence must have been created by someone from China, otherwise it wouldn't be so heavily biased toward Eastern mythology.

Amidst the gazes of thousands of foreign subjects, Chang Fei and his entourage drove away, kicking up dust. The airplanes in the sky also began to withdraw, and everything returned to peace.

"It's getting late. Let's go get ready." Thinking about the school dance coming up shortly, Ouyang Yingqi wanted to change her clothes.

It was not that Luo Moshu's words possessed the power to awaken the deaf and enlighten the blind, but coming from him—the undisputed number one figure of the demonic path—such a statement transcended ordinary personal lamentation and rose to an inescapable level of "commonality."

Just as Section Chief Gou was about to erupt in fury, a police officer hurried over and called him out, and he never returned to the interrogation room.

True to Fokke Booy's words, Volendam was exceptionally weak. Barely fifteen minutes in, Zhang Xiang received the ball along the center axis, dribbled past three opposing defenders in a row, and unleashed a thunderous long-range shot from over thirty yards out. The opposing goalkeeper was completely powerless to stop it, and the ball smoothly rolled into the net, scoring the opening goal for Utrecht.

With one accord, they both smiled somewhat bitterly. Several minutes of gazing at each other and exchanging smiles truly spoke louder than a thousand words.

To save their own skins, the two renowned doctors had begun making things up on the spot to humor Qian Yitie. In their view, having a non-existent scapegoat take the blame was far better than sacrificing their own lives.

The bearded man had known Chen Yu for many years, yet always maintained a mysterious aura; he could only be seen when the boats arrived. As for his full name or surname, the Chen family had never thought to ask, nor had Chen Yu. This tacit understanding made them feel that ignorance didn't matter—missing each other was far better than plotting against one another.

Ye Feng offered a bitter smile. The three of them sat down and chatted for a little while before Ye Tianhong woke up. Four figures of "monopoly tycoon" status hid inside the hospital room, munching on lunchboxes with a distinctly faint Chinese flavor, while Xue Ren even cursed out loud, calling this half-baked Chinese cook a fraud.

Seeing that Zhang San was robust and strong, and fearing his companion would suffer losses, the chubby Taoist also leaped forward, intending to join forces to sandwich Zhang San in a pincer attack. Caught in the two-way assault, Zhang San immediately took several hits. At this moment, Zhang Liang spoke up: "If we're going to fight, it has to be fair. Let's play one-on-one." With that, he also stepped forward to face the chubby Taoist in combat.

Seeing Zhang Liang and the others enter, the elderly Taoist said, "It is the fortune of this humble temple that fellow practitioners have come from afar. I heard that fellow Daoist hails from the hometown of Master Zhang; this poor Taoist has two questions and wonders if fellow Daoist might resolve them?" He then gestured for the two to be seated.

Not to mention the people instantly killed by it in a single breath, none of them had a cultivation level lower than the peak of Qi Condensation, and two of them had even vaguely displayed the aura of initially stepping into the Spirit Concentration realm.

"You certainly have a broad mind. I reckon the emperor's ultimate goal is the military power in your hands," Qiao Chu said blandly, though her tone remained obscure and unfathomable.

Feeling a sudden tightness in her chest under that gaze, Jian Han gritted her teeth, picked up a piece of foie gras with her bare hand, and shoved it into her mouth.

With that, Ji Yuxuan took out the spiritual ring from his hand, handed it to Shu Xiaofeng with utmost devotion, and spoke.

Jiuyu turned her head to glance at Jiang Yi, nodded, gave a final parting look at the masked Tianlei nearby, and then departed.

"What if his identity itself is one that never arouses suspicion?" Duan Changge slowly began.

Fanyin tightly gripped her handkerchief, assuming she had simply misheard. She stopped sobbing and quieted her mind to listen carefully.

Ji Wanrong had already been blushing from embarrassment due to Doukou's exaggerated praises, and seeing Zisu joining in to mock her as well made her flush crimson with shyness.

Withdrawing his gaze from Liu Tianxing, Shi Jin cast his look toward the direction of Qingshui Village deep within the Forbidden Land of Heavenly Retribution, secretly calculating in his heart: those who should come have all arrived, and those who shouldn't have come have arrived as well. The murky waters of the Forbidden Land of Heavenly Retribution are now thoroughly stirred up.

Truth be told, his sudden appearance here lacked much preparation, and his primary reaction to Pei Shixin's predicament was sheer anxiety. Moreover, he genuinely cared for her safety.

He introduced Song Dabao, the deputy detachment commander concurrently serving as the leader of the first squad, and Tan Changze, the political commissar of the detachment, to Luo Rong. As for Li Chengwu, who concurrently served as chief of staff, he was currently still stationed over at Weishan and naturally could not reside permanently at the detachment headquarters.

Over the span of more than a year, Li Yuntong tried every time to say something to He Yining, but she would interrupt him—whether intentionally or subconsciously.

Everyone thought to themselves: well, well, a royal princess is truly fierce. If she can't get what she wants, she resorts to drugging. This behavior is far more vile and despicable than that of the Shen family member.
