Chapter 134: Trouble

“How mean!”

Lou Yu’s hoarse, duck-like voice muttered the two words under his breath.

Giving Shen Du estates was one thing. He was a man of learning, and no amount of respect would be excessive.

Lou Yu himself had given Shen Du many things over the years as well.

Houses, fields, servants, treasured books, calligraphy and paintings… Yet all these tangible possessions still paled beside the guidance Shen Du had given Lou Yu through word and example.

Yang Rui had taught Lou Yu what great wisdom was and what it meant to be a true gentleman, while Shen Du—

She naturally knew that was impossible. Thor was no longer in Asgard, so how could they meet? She had asked anyway in the hope that she might use the opportunity to find Thor and the others. She had never forgotten the reason she had come here.

Kara had only just finished dealing with the mutants. She had not even had a few days to rest before Nick Fury asked her to run another errand to Britain, so she flatly refused him.

The original host had never liked studying. Normally, she could only find a sense of achievement in games, but the teammates she was matched with were one worse than the next, as stupid as idiots. Even when she played beyond her usual level, she still could not carry them, and as a result, her rank refused to rise.

“This fruit platter was prepared especially for you. Have some.”

Mo Ming said this to Rize Kamishiro for no apparent reason.

A stage play might be performed hundreds of times, which meant that the actors had honed it countless times behind the scenes. Only something refined with such painstaking care could be called a perfect play. The moment an audience entered the theater, they could feel the atmosphere of the performance—a direct exchange between actors and audience that was impossible to experience in a cinema.

Chen Xiu patted his forehead. “All right, then. Let’s find some wood or something to use instead for now.”

With that, Chen Xiu went to Tang Ning and asked her to have the warriors cut down several pieces of wood. Naturally, the lower ends had to be sharpened to a point so they could be driven through the water and into the mud below.

Most of the specialties produced by Jiang were demanded as tribute by Song. The country’s already limited manpower had to be divided further to prepare the tribute goods, leaving too little land properly cultivated. Seven or eight out of every ten people in the country could not eat their fill.

“It’s all right. I should bless her. She is a great mother.”

Mu Yunxi composed herself, hiding the sorrow on her face as she spoke in a bitter voice.

Although Tanya had succeeded in seriously wounding Norsca, her body had also lost the ability to fly. She plunged downward and crashed onto the same black cloud as Norsca. Having experienced countless battles, Tanya was already adjusting her balance the instant she landed. Once her body had steadied, she immediately lunged at Norsca again and attacked her.

Inside the private room, Yan Bei had not expected such an outcome either. He stroked the three divine crystals, imagining how helpless Yun Qingyu must have felt while imprisoned, and the loneliness and despair contained between the lines of the words she had entrusted to the crystals.

Su Weiguo had actually said such a thing to her. It was truly a miracle, as though he were deliberately trying to curry favor with her.

Words were easy to say, but it was only after attempting it himself that Chu Feng learned what unbearable suffering truly meant. Fierce masculine energy churned ceaselessly within his body. He felt like a huge furnace, liable to explode at any moment.

Feeling the spear thrust Gui Tian had launched, Guan Yi’s heart sank. Gui Tian was indeed terrifyingly powerful. He had achieved remarkable attainments in the way of the spear.

As the hall master of the Specter Clan, this man’s cultivation was certainly not poor. Unfortunately, he still did not qualify to enter Han Yueqiao’s eyes. With Han Yueqiao’s current cultivation, she could easily take on ten opponents of his level at once.

As sacred radiance surged forth with overwhelming force, a strange scene unfolded. The burly man had attempted to attain sainthood through a bizarre giant axe, yet the light surrounding the holy throne suddenly dimmed. The resplendent throne gradually returned to its original color. The foreign giant had actually failed to attain sainthood and stood there in stunned disbelief.

He was already struggling to deal with everything on his side, while on the other, Second Brother was frantically occupied. The tsunami was about to erupt, and he had to keep constant watch. If the tsunami smashed through his energy barrier, they would be in serious trouble.

Blade energy rose ominously from outside Blade Transformation Fort. It rolled and surged upward, while countless crimson blades of light burst forth from the heart of the endless yellow sands. Smoke signals rose all around. At the center, the blade energy blazed like a rainbow, and a powerful aura gathered before Blade Transformation Fort.

“Defend? You think far too highly of yourself!”

Seeing Chen Guodong leap onto the back of the azure bird, a glint appeared in Chu Feng’s eyes. At the same time, blue radiance erupted around his body, and the temperature throughout the room rose sharply.

The chief of staff had not expected the outcome to be like this. Victory had come so smoothly, and so suddenly. He thought that, judging from the situation, the naval special forces would have to begin training to withstand the sea in the future as well.

In an instant, the entire family apartment building erupted into turmoil. Everyone flung open their windows to see which bastard was making such a racket.

Mu Jianlang acted as though he had heard nothing. He clung to Mu Qianxun without getting down, grinning and fooling around without pause, easing the atmosphere somewhat.

“We’re making contact, but because your message keeps spreading, more and more people are surrendering.”

Old Wu looked deeply worried.

The old monk’s brown kasaya billowed in the raging wind. He walked one step at a time as though traversing a level ancient road, making the ends of the earth seem close at hand. Raindrops the size of beans fell without end, striking the old man’s brows and eyes without the slightest obstruction.

For some reason, she always felt that she had let Yu Hun down by failing to complete her mission. But asking her to help seize Xia was something she could never do.

After standing blankly for quite some time, they finally realized that he was not their Great God Amaterasu. By then, they tried to turn their weapons around, but their hands had gone weak. They were utterly cowed.

The soldiers of the special operations regiment glared at them, as though they had caught thieves breaking into their own homes to commit violence and robbery. Their eyes alone seemed capable of killing them.

The fresh, sweet fragrance mingled together, lingering and entwining as before. Mu Qianxun responded helplessly, but beneath his assault, she had already lost herself.
