Chapter 48

Sima Ang watched the Empress Dowager leave, pondering every word she had said. To ask him to give up Liu Yue was undoubtedly more cruel than death itself, and now Chu Yuxuan was no longer able to protect his precious Yue.

Bureau Chief Qiao was not at home. The Bureau Chief’s wife sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression, staring blankly at the long telephone bill in front of her, her eyes red and swollen.

The giant birds thundered away, kicking up clouds of dust in their wake. Passersby covered their noses and mouths, dispersing one after another.

Perhaps it was because their realm cultivation was improving too slowly compared to Lin Tianlong and the others, and feeling the gap widen further and further, they feared that Lin Tianlong and the others would gradually grow distant from them, which drove them to take this initiative on their own.

Taohong’s expression stiffened, and a sense of panic welled up in the depths of her heart. If even a naive girl like Ruyi knew that the matter was inextricably linked to her, how much more so would the others in the courtyard?

They searched the surface of the sea, hoping to catch a glimpse of the submarine's wreckage, whether it belonged to the enemy or to themselves, though the latter was something they hoped not to see.

Yan Zhaoyong ignored his seemingly complimentary words that, to the ear, sounded more like sarcasm, and simply gazed eagerly at his father.

Her smile reminded Lan Yanfeng of the description of the spirit fox’s smile within the game's sealed ancient tomb—charming eyes carrying a smile, a glance back eclipsing the stars. Her gentle smile alone could conquer cities and realms, and sitting up on the bed with a looking-up smile, she was even more bewitching than that spirit fox, causing him to lose his soul instantly.

Veins bulged on Lu Yuanzhou’s forehead, and he could almost hear the joints of his fingers cracking.

"A Guardian?" Tantai Mingyue realized what an utter fool she was. Apart from teaching her ancient forbidden arts, her grandmother had failed to impart even the most basic knowledge that should have been generalized.

"I might as well focus on searching for hidden quests." Feiyang Lu had already given up on the idea of finding those three female beasts, intending instead to concentrate on finding hidden quests that could enhance his abilities.

"No way!" Hera exclaimed. Had anyone else uttered such words, Hera would have dismissed them as a lunatic, but having understood and personally experienced Liu Hao's formidable and miraculous powers, she had no doubts.

Instantly, everyone in the Death Legion panicked, realizing they had fallen into the enemy's trap.

Just as Wei Yan was thinking this, Xuan Gu's figure suddenly appeared within his field of vision.

"Hmph, as long as you can defeat this prince, her acupoints will naturally be released. Otherwise, in an hour's time, her blood will flow in reverse, and her pulse will stiffen in death." Helian Chen twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled coldly.

Meanwhile, Lin Xifan’s soaring reputation in the school remained unmatched, making him a rising star at Beijing University.

"I don't necessarily have to rely on your help." Once the brothel network was mobilized, even an ant could be accurately located; it was merely a matter of time, so Baili Qianxun's assistance or lack thereof was not that crucial.

Led by Zhou Zhou, the group climbed upward together along a stone-paved path behind the hotel.

When Liang Dong channeled his energy into it, he could clearly sense that the energy passing through the set of silver needles containing jadeite was far better suited to the human body, while the energy passing through the other silver needles remained largely unchanged. This proved that such jadeite was indeed exceptionally precious.

The previous chapter recounted how Cao Cao secured the arrival of Sima Yi and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to assist him, while Zhuge Liang had already laid an ambush here.

With a whoosh, a pure white phantom suddenly darted out from the dense foliage of the giant tree. Just as Sanbao reached out to catch it, a thought suddenly crossed his mind, and with a flick of his will, a golden five-fingered phantom materialized before him, swiftly grabbing hold of the white shadow.

When Changshan and the others opened their eyes, they discovered that the sky was still the same sky, the earth the same earth, and their location entirely unchanged. Yet that suffocating sense of death had been so vivid just moments before. As they stood there bewildered, wondering what had happened, they saw the rocks and debris they had previously manipulated with telekinesis hurtling straight toward them.

"Hello, Mother Hua. Um, I am here to see... Grandfather." Hua Shangxue racked her brains but could find no better form of address, so she had to resort to the title she used for Hua Leihai in the past.

That day finally arrived—a day of bright sunshine and gentle breezes. The Shu army had already formed its battle array ahead, and I led my own forces forward. A vast expanse of flat ground lay between the two armies, upon which a platform had already been erected.

When I announced to everyone that the salvation of the Pakistani cavalry had arrived, almost every player in Silver Moon City was deeply moved, engaging in friendly cultural exchanges while pointing at the French girls on the city walls to discuss whose chest was larger and whose was rounder. First release.

Upon seeing this, Liu Zhang was overjoyed and said with gratification, "Good! Good! In times of crisis, it is still my kinsman who comes to relieve my worries! Zheng Du, Liu Jun, and Yang Hong, the three of you shall march with the army!" All three acknowledged the order.

Ordinarily, it wouldn't have taken two months, but midway through, Hua Shangxue's identity was leaked. She was repeatedly intercepted by officials in the cities she passed through, forcing her to put on a polite front and deal with them for a few days here and a few days there. After passing through several cities, more than half a month had slipped away, which accounted for her delayed arrival.

Emperor Wang stood frozen in a daze, while Lan Xi silently watched her as well. Her overflowing sympathy welled up once more, and she cast a secret glance at him—her gaze complex and filled with guilt, yet entirely devoid of lingering affection or love.

Drawing a long breath mixed with lingering fear, she recalled that her soul had transmigrated, not her physical body; how could she possibly return? Since she could not go back and was faring poorly, what should she do?

Just as he stepped out of the palace gates, Lu Xuan suddenly sensed something and looked back, instantly greeted by a magnificent spectacle.
