Chapter 39: A Triple Victory

Su Can sighed in his heart. After all, this Lord of Soldiers, while appearing immensely glorious and dominating an entire territory, was ultimately just a pitiful soul.

Li Ling’s eyes lit up, and in an instant, the realization dawned on him. No wonder the Black Rock Army had confiscated all the medicinal herbs; they had planned this all along. With at least a hundred contestants present, if everyone were to refine these healing pills, there would be at least one million doses produced.

Seeing her thoughts again now, he hesitated about whether to move forward, finding himself at a crossroads.

This man was still so handsome while commanding the dragon. She wondered if her own man looked just as dashing when he rode atop one.

Human suspicion is a potent force. Consort De had thought little of it at first, but after hearing Huan’er’s words and reflecting on them, she truly began to feel that something was amiss.

In the council hall, the clan elders expressed their conflicting views, arguing incessantly until the room descended into chaos, with some even turning red-faced in their disputes.

She recalled that day when, passing by the window, she happened to overhear her parents discussing the Prince Luo estate and the Lin family. She did not believe it and cried, insisting on going to the Lin estate. Her father had stated the truth with absolute certainty and warned her that if she truly went to the Lin estate then, the next family to be wiped out would undoubtedly be the Wu family.

"Understood, Mengyu will go at once!" With that, Mengyu took Tao’er and Xing’er and headed toward the Madam’s Peony Pavilion.

He set the items he was carrying down on Lin Shuran’s table with practiced familiarity, watching her with a soft smile as she folded her arms.

By the time he finished his shower and came out, Jiang Kexin had already finished eating and was sitting there leisurely drinking milk.

Huo Taixian tried to struggle, but Jin Chanzi was actually pleased. The more Huo Taixian struggled, the more it proved that he did not want to die.

A mere checkpoint, held by the mercenary coalition with the advantage of the terrain, had suffered over a thousand casualties before being forcibly seized by the Tibetans.

Accompanying the sky-high waves, a "giant coiling dragon" appeared. The officials on the scene were stunned into silence, each one standing as if struck by a paralyzing spell, not daring to move.

Common sense dictates that water extinguishes fire; however, if the fire is too fierce, it will consume any insufficient water, turning it into steam.

Ji Wan drove back to her old family home, where many clothes from her grandmother’s generation were stored, kept because they were too precious to throw away.

The Director of the Imperial Household Department bowed slightly, just about to deny the claim, but catching a frigid glance from above, he quickly sat upright, wearing an inscrutable smile.

After making their move today, regardless of whether they killed their target, the four of them would certainly die.

As for the imperial decree forbidding the Fifth Rank from entering the market, it was best not to provide others with ammunition unless it was an absolute emergency.

The two sisters-in-law had been in the family for four or five years, yet neither had conceived a child, which was very strange.

Seeing that things were winding down, Ji Wan found an empty seat nearby and sat down, ordering a cup of Biluochun, a specialty of Pingjiang.

Shen He shook his head and stepped forward; at the same time, a faint spiritual energy slowly rose from his hands.

Feeling the stinging, burning pain radiating across his entire body, Baker couldn't help but grimace. Although he had previously held those dull-witted gnolls in high regard, he was still deeply shaken by the destructive power caused by their self-detonation.

He had initially thought the man was courting death with such remarks, but to his surprise, the man actually had quite a few supporters in this situation.

"That fellow! When I return to the palace, I will make Father find him and let him know exactly who the Princess of the Moon Kingdom is—not someone a bearded man like him can insult at will!" Barbara thought fiercely to herself, allowing Yabumiya to help her sit at the long table.

Unfortunately, since the two parties had already formed a grudge, Lin Yu looked at Zhao Yilun without hesitation.

Taking the black arrow, which was still stained with a trace of blood, Li Jing’s expression shifted. He lowered his head to examine it, his eyes narrowing as he focused on the shaft.

The two orcs being dragged struggled desperately, but with their hands and bodies bound by ropes, being held by a pair of powerful hands like chickens awaiting slaughter, all their efforts proved futile and useless.

Mu Dianke learned from Xin Yang that yesterday, just after Chang Qianfo had rescued her, Shui Huoyan had brought a group of leaders and managers to the council hall to make a scene.

When the two left, Shui Huoyan’s cheeks were still puffed out; he clearly looked quite furious.

Now that he had cast the Shadow-Projection Technique to display the image of the old chieftain, Kassel was naturally overcome with joy, which explained his earlier lapse in composure.

If Su Xi hadn't galloped over and pulled Zhao Wuyou onto her horse, he would still have been crawling and stumbling forward, aimless and without direction.

Although it was a palace banquet, no one dared to drink too much; becoming too intoxicated in the palace and losing one's decorum would inevitably affect one's future career.

The man clutched his waist, thanking me profusely. I held a bundle of branches, watching as he limped away into the distance.

"Hmph, you cunning Chen Pan! Do you say this in hopes that I will let you go? So that if your brother Chen Liao's men charge up here later, you won't have to die here with me?" I sneered at Chen Pan.

Although he was weak from excessive blood loss, Yicheng couldn't help but giggle foolishly when he felt the radiance of the Holy Light Dome beginning to descend.

Liang Hanchu and Old Man Bai went to the vegetable patch to water the crops, while Shen Yingyue stayed home to feed the chickens and ducks, resting comfortably for the sake of her pregnancy. After Liang Hanchu finished tending the patch, he returned to fetch a bucket to harvest swamp eels, and Shen Yingyue would occasionally help out when she had nothing better to do.

Yang Xiaoqi was no better off than I was. Looking at the dark, dense forest, he sighed, "Forget it, we can't leave tonight. We have to wait until dawn tomorrow to search for that location."

How had he become so incredibly strong? No, it wasn't just strength—his speed and technique were flawless, reaching a level only seen in meticulously choreographed martial arts films enhanced with perfect post-production effects.

Su Ye was somewhat startled. Having never experienced such things, he had no idea how to handle it.

Even with all the luxury of the Su family villa, she found this apartment far more comforting. Having lived here for so long, the mere thought of moving away actually made her feel quite uneasy.
