"Indeed!"
Lou Yu nodded. He was indeed leaving.

The Qi territory... the canal network... the capital!
Having waited for so long, Lou Yu finally had his opportunity, and he was determined to soar straight up to the clouds.
Lou Yu's eyes grew deep and profound; he had already learned to control his emotions perfectly.
Even now, on the verge of rushing into the "battlefield," where his blood was already boiling and he was raring to go, he managed to reveal not a single trace of it.

"I am going to handle some matters with Yin Hu, and then report to the Commander-in-Chief. Therefore, the exact time of Yin Hu's return is yet to be determined, so please tell everyone not to worry," Chen Tang said.

However, to Zhou Fengchen, this sounded no different from blowing hot air. What on earth did these things have to do with the netherworld? First of all, he was a practitioner of the Daoist arts, defying the heavens and changing destiny, with his longevity entirely up to him. Secondly, as the head of a sect, his status after death was naturally extraordinary. As a ghostly immortal hidden within a realm, the netherworld had no right to question him whatsoever.

The wolf cub let out a pitiful whimpering sound, as if it were injured and acting spoiled in front of Chen Tang.

Unexpectedly, Shi Lei did not pester her at all and simply turned and walked away. Wu Yumeng frowned; this was not the first time Shi Lei had ignored her.

Yet, there was one dormitory alone that was as calm as if nothing had happened at all. Its doors were tightly shut and the lights were blazing, leaving the bald vice-principal, who had come to knock on the door, momentarily stunned.

Among this city and its thirty-six tribes, there was a total population of several hundred million, after all, not all of them were ancestors.

It was just that within the Pill Palace, there were no teachers to lecture on alchemy; one could only learn the craft of pill-making entirely through self-study.

Having constantly dealt with various alien races and major holy lands, he naturally understood the issue of the broken laws within the desolate and abandoned realm.

As for the master of the Nine-Headed Dragon Starship, the ultra-dimensional mage Nahem himself, he had already entered the wizard world a step ahead and arrived within the primal source space.

For the new-style communicator—or rather, the chip—that Adam was about to create, the Flame of Genesis would be the body, and the operating system would be the soul. It did not need to generate true intelligence, but its task-processing capability had to be powerful, and it must serve as an excellent auxiliary tool for mages.

"How could your father allow you to ruin the life's work he spent so many years on?" Cheng Yaorao said helplessly.

In Liu Shuangen's household, only Liu Shuangen and Liu Shancao were at home. Because of the wound on his head and the severe pain in his vital parts, Liu Shuangen could go nowhere and could only honestly lie in bed to recover.

Since the road connecting our Huimen Village and Dongmen Village lay right on the border line—going straight led to Dongmen Village, while turning right led to Huimen Village—I was a native-born son of Huimen Village himself.

"Since you think it's useful, then go buy it. You earned the money, so you have the final say on how to spend it!" Li Tiezhu suddenly said.

Liu Shuangzhu kept smiling foolishly at Bian Siniang, stirring a sense of heartache within her. She wondered if he would still be able to smile once he heard what she had to say later.

Seeing the people from our village approaching aggressively brandishing weapons, the people of Dongmen Village looked somewhat puzzled as well. However, they were not easily frightened either, and hurriedly rallied their fellow villagers to confront us, also holding weapons in their hands.

Liu Shuangzhu nodded and solemnly tucked Bian Siniang's birth-date horoscope paper into his chest pocket, repeatedly pressing it down several times as if still feeling uneasy.

Eileen Chang's former residence was originally named "Eddington House." Standing seven stories high and built in 1936, it was designed by an Italian. Now renamed Changde Apartment, it is located near the Jing'an Temple.

After Grandpa Shaoli finished washing Liu Shanliang and applied medicinal ointment for him, seeing that Liu Shanliang's trousers were beyond wearing, he found a pair of Shaoli's trousers and had him change into them.

Everyone listened very carefully to Elder Lin's instructions and gradually dispersed one after another. At this moment, Liu Yiqin felt rather awkward, not knowing whether to leave or stay. If she left, she no longer remembered the way to Elder Lin's home; if she stayed, she was merely an "irrelevant" outsider.
