Chapter 63: They Plucked the Wild Geese Bare
With the intervention of the production team and the timely action taken by Jiang Yunyao's management team, that bloodless war came to an end.
Unaware of the farce playing out on the internet, Jiang and Xie were currently holding rice bowls and feeding the "meals" directly into the mouth of that disembodied head.
Upon receiving the food, the head made a few chewing motions just like a living person, and then let out a piercing scream.
"Ahhhhh, this is so awful! I won't eat such terrible food! I want delicious food!"
To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy: take, for instance, our great Chinese motherland, which endured countless hardships to finally develop the atomic bomb—could this kind of thing be sold to other countries? Obviously not.
Cheng Huatian's expression grew increasingly grim. "Yes, I admit that I cannot completely clear myself of responsibility in this matter, but are you expecting me to live trapped inside that incident for the rest of my life?" Cheng Huatian demanded.
Having listened to the Swordsman's account, the Old Immortal of the South Pole fell into deep contemplation, only snapping back to his senses a long while later to ask the Swordsman a question.
"Beautiful maiden, have you come to comfort us?" the leader among them leered, drooling with disgust as he spoke with a lewd smile.
Upon hearing this, Long Xin let out a sudden giggle, feeling that this big brother of hers was truly so considerate.
Su Su's abilities ranked second only to Jiang Tao's within the team, and she answered to Jiang Tao alone. Therefore, whenever she made a move, everyone else was practically guaranteed to suffer, and Luo Jun had taken quite a few beatings from her in the past.
No longer able to restrain himself, Yang Luansheng unleashed his molten netherwater without holding anything back, frantically surging forward to engulf the God-Slaying Huang Feng in an attempt to kill him.
Why did Lü Zhuo reveal his name? Lü Zhuo was gambling. Merchants value profit above all else—this is an eternal and unchanging iron rule. If the Zhen family knew what was good for them, they naturally wouldn't dare to spread the word everywhere, otherwise, they would undoubtedly invite a bloody disaster upon themselves.
Just like that, in the blink of an eye, the two of them had been hand in hand, traveling together across the Heavenly Dome Continent for some twenty days.
Yet now, Yang Lie could obtain a status on equal footing with them without having to pay any price whatsoever.
If he guessed correctly, the matter they were referring to was most likely the assassination attempt against him.
During breakfast the next morning, seeing everyone busily and spiritedly packing their luggage, Qin Liu felt a slight twinge of embarrassment.
Looking at the items in her hands, Ye Ning let out a soft sigh. The more she wished to avoid spending time with Lu Jingyuan, the less able she was to escape him.
When Chen Hanliang decided to dismiss Shao Wenwen, he brought an audit team from the research institute and the department.
The extra bedding she had on hand was also limited. Fortunately, Old Master Liu and the others had brought some bedding and furs of their own, which would just barely suffice for them to scrape through the night.
She regretted having pandered to Yang Shen's feelings earlier instead of giving him a flat refusal, which had only made him think he still had a chance.
The two of you felt somewhat a headache, sitting there brooding in frustration. Raising your head to look at Banggen, you contemplated how to persuade him.
Sure enough, the figure about to walk out stopped in its tracks. "Who are you saying doesn't dare?" Leng Yao demanded, returning to her seat with a look of disdain.
As the Northern Dynasty's motorcade approached, the Yoga Princess inside the carriage caught sight of Jiang Feng's figure.
Cao Chong stood atop Longshan Mountain south of Jinyang City, gazing north into the distance. Qiu stood right beside him, recounting to him word for word what had happened the night before at the Cao residence in Xuxian. Cao Chong said not a single word. He sat down, drew his knees to his chest, rested his chin on his knees, and quietly watched the distant post road.
The enemy forces were instantly plunged into a barrage of fire arrows. Although very few were killed directly by the arrows, the omnipresent flames, mingled with shrieks and agonized cries, threw the enemy ranks into a state of chaos.
The leather whip struck me so hard I almost fell to the ground, and my beaten arm burned with a pain as if it were being bitten by thousands of insects. In a daze, I recalled that Li Haiyan's arm had once displayed those exact same red welts—she must have been beaten too. Parents nowadays really lack any originality.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhang's smile instantly froze. Naturally, he knew the news about Liu Qi being nearly poisoned to death by Liu Bei. Liu Qi was currently in Xiangyang, and even though the divine physician Zhang Ji was personally treating him, it was doubtful he could be brought back from the brink of death. Of course, Liu Zhang had no desire to end up poisoned to death like Liu Qi.
