Volume 1, Chapter 50: Xinran, We Are Being Watched

This time, she had managed to piggyback on her own sister’s influence to enter the Princess’s Mansion; otherwise, after that incident, how could she have ever crossed its threshold?

Du Meimei pulled back her foot. Shen Haiou had never spoken to her with such tenderness before; it was always in an imperious tone.

We will not commit acts that bring devastation to the living, as that violates my original intent in studying the Dao. Furthermore, what the grey-robed elder intends to do is inherently an act defying the heavens and violating the Dao.

Her trump card was to let Zhuang Yan know how much help she had secretly given him—such as which clients she had bridged for him, and which troublemakers she had managed to handle behind the scenes. In her mind, if it were the former Zhuang Yan, knowing all this would have definitely moved him to tears and made him pull her into a tight embrace.

Yet now, he had begun purging those unstable elements within his army—those who refused to obey orders—and he was doing it so openly and brazenly. This only further signaled the impossibility of his marching north. One does not replace the chief commander on the eve of battle, and this chief commander was no ordinary commander-in-chief or the like.

The fighter jet stopped at a relay base on the outer fringes of the Xia family’s territory. Here, the wounded personnel on board were unloaded, and replacement soldiers and supplies were taken on before returning to the fortress to assist in its defense.

Once the negotiations concluded, Xiao Chen returned to his tent. Although he still harbored some doubts regarding the Tang family’s unusual hospitality, he did not dwell on it too much.

I used to detest men who smelled of alcohol, nor did I like men who drank, because the shadow my uncle cast over me was far too severe. But people change in an instant. When Zhuang Yan carried the scent of alcohol, although I felt a slight aversion, I never felt even a tiny shred of hatred toward him because of it.

Qiong Ling’s voice was hoarse. "Why? Why? Why did Luo Tian manage to survive against all odds, only to suffer the agony of a severed arm?" The fire in Qiong Ling’s heart blazed to the absolute limit in an instant. His gaze of hatred, laced with solar fire and biting frost, shot forward, terrifying the nurse into retreating step by step until she finally landed flat on her backside on the ground.

The matter was clearly very simple; I only needed to temporarily agree to Zhao Yaru, but I simply couldn't force those words out of my mouth.

Jiang Qicai’s body naturally felt no pain at the moment. However, the expression Jiang Qicai put on was exceedingly exaggerated. He said nothing, relying entirely on his acting skills in place of a reply.

"In that case, I shall also dispatch two Purgatory Corpses to lie in ambush at the entrance. Should they suddenly launch a sneak attack against us, those corpses can put up a brief resistance," Evil Sky Old Demon said with a twitch of his eyes and an equally sinister chuckle.

"No way! Just what kind of person is this?" You Chuijun finally began to feel something was amiss. No matter what, he was an ancient creature! As the strongest warrior of the Fei-Fei clan, he shouldn't be beaten into such a state by someone.

This person’s strength was probably even greater than Li Xunxian, one of the Four Young Masters. What was his background?

Yet a thousand words were choked raw in his throat. The sharp, piercing edge faded from the depths of his dark eyes, leaving only an unprecedented, unexpressed tenderness and fragility.

Ye Shiyu just stood there watching his son beat his former subordinates with such effortless satisfaction, at a loss for words. The dignified new leader of the human metaphysical realm, the director of the agency, stood frozen right there in the doorway, his right hand still resting on the doorknob, completely dumbfounded.

Wu Yong watched Chen Long depart, though he actually held doubts in his heart. If Huaxia only had three giants, those three giants were now preparing to go together to suppress and execute that Archbishop Naga of the Southern Vietnamese Kingdom.

Inside the Longteng Technology building, Lu Yuan reviewed the complete surveillance footage and eventually spotted three figures.

Suddenly, almost without warning, a fierce, chilling light slashed across space, striking fiercely against Gu Zhanjun’s left rib.

He smiled quietly, carrying a stubborn sort of smile. The corners of his mouth curved halfway up, only to lose their arc.

Utterly useless, the Team Rocket trio was blown away in a single direct hit of Hydro Pump by Lei Dian's Feraligatr.

Before they had completely landed, the second brother’s voice rang out. A majestic surge of spiritual energy abruptly rose, enveloping everyone before sweeping away like a gust of wind.

Wherever the blade passed, the air itself was compressed to the point of explosion, and even space seemed to be crushed to pieces.

This way, if he encountered a similar situation in the future, he would still have the means to cope. If not for this Overlord Poison this time, he surely would have died here.

Although Feng Ninglong spent very little time interacting with Long Tian, at critical moments, Feng Ninglong never dropped the ball. She knew what she ought to do, and she knew how she ought to do it.

Mismagius slowly drifted in front of Gu Lian. Gu Lian reached out and placed his hand on Mismagius’s head. "Close your eyes."

Ning Gang nodded. He had once tried to probe into this Yin-Yang Cauldron with his divine sense, but he had discovered nothing at all, as if blocked by a layer of mysterious energy that prevented entry.

Clang! Kobe’s jumper from beyond the three-point line missed. After taking the shot, he couldn’t help but shake his right arm, perhaps using the motion to ease the pain in his right hand. But alas, this was truly only the beginning.

"Sister Ziyi! Sister Jiayi! Are you both that guy's wives?" Along the way, Hong Lin had grown familiar with Ziyi and Wang Jiayi. Now, she blinked her innocent eyes as she looked at them both.

Rankiku stepped onto the stage, and her opponent was also an acquaintance—the boy named Malone she had encountered in Lixiang, a town in Xigu.

The city lord’s laser-scanner-like eyes were fixed upon Difa. I could see that its eye sockets were deeply sunken, and within those sunken sockets was a single blue speck of light, which must have been its eyes.

Only the Earth United Aerospace Fleet, high in the distant sky, witnessed this scene. A brilliant beam of light, streaking across like a shooting star, struck this very region directly, causing the energy manifestation of the Demon Battlefield to reveal itself. Moreover, Magross was the sole person qualified to understand the significance of that beam of light.

"Get some rest, Fatty. Take good care of them." Su Yi, who had just hurried over in time, happened to witness this very scene and spoke to Fatty.

The entire barren wasteland was enacting this exact scene everywhere. Everywhere one looked, black sand filled the heavens and fierce winds raged.
