Chapter 34: Past Events

As dawn began to break, Gu Sheng tidied up the kitchen and washed He Wenzhou’s teacup before finally returning to her room. Perhaps it was because of the cup of hot tea she had shared with him, but as she lay in bed, she found herself unable to sleep. She tossed and turned under her blanket, eventually staring blankly at the ceiling as memories from years past unexpectedly flooded her mind. Most of all, she kept seeing her father’s face, and Gu...

"Hmm, this rifle is decent; at the very least, it shoots straight." Liao Fan nodded with satisfaction. He grabbed a bayonet and scavenged a large stash of ammunition to sling over his body, looking every bit the bandit. He felt as if something was still missing, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it at the moment.

The crowd looked at the disciple as if he were an idiot, then began to chime in with their own speculations.

The burning intensity of the Old Man of the Moon’s gaze made Yun Mo unable to look him in the eye. He looked toward the Stone of Three Lives and said, "It is my... friend." With that, he placed the stone into the hands of the now-dazed Old Man of the Moon.

After Po Jun finished speaking, his men suddenly waded into the water. Po Jun naturally understood that crossing the arched bridge presented difficulties, but traversing the water was still feasible; although it was only spring, the water was no longer biting cold.

However, the true combat effectiveness of an army is not determined by its weaponry and ammunition, but by the adequacy of its training—that is where real power lies. Currently, the unit’s actual combat strength consisted of only a few dozen veterans, supplemented by a dozen former puppet soldiers who had just joined and whose loyalty remained highly questionable.

"A Great Fireball? You mean a spherical flame bomb! But that is a third-level sorcery... I am not yet capable of using it." Lan Youming let out a long, heavy sigh.

As Lin Meiwan pulled the door shut, she said, "From now on, when you practice martial arts, I will teach you." She closed the door, leaving Mo Ziyun no chance to retort.

Countless fine white strands of hair engulfed him like an ocean, each one as sharp as a blade. With just a light graze, they left trails of scorching smoke across the body of Ai Er’s source form.

Okamura Yasuji frowned. He suddenly remembered that the railway lines in Shanxi were being frequently attacked by a certain unit, rendering them unsafe. If he were to die midway, all his plans would be rendered useless.

Lin Meiwan took the tea, and her hand inadvertently brushed against Shangguan Zisu’s cool fingertips. Startled, Shangguan Zisu immediately recoiled.

The Empress’s words had unraveled all the secrets that had puzzled him. Ye Hua drew in a cold, sharp breath, his mind reeling for several minutes, unable to process the magnitude of this sudden revelation. No wonder the Emperor had always been so cold toward him; as it turned out, he was not the Emperor’s son at all.

Zu Dashou’s current intention was to exert his full effort in the future campaigns against the invaders, striving to earn military merit to secure a bright future for himself and his descendants.

A soul beast, over thirty feet in length, darted continuously through the forest, its armored shell a sight that chilled the hearts of all who beheld it.

Watching the bead emit a blinding radiance in the sunlight streaming through the window, Hua Xuanji suddenly had an epiphany, a triumphant smile curling the corners of her lips.

At this moment, feeling two opposing forces rampaging through his body, Lin Yi felt a sense of indignation. Thinking of the even more terrifying Yin and Yang forces to come, he found it difficult to accept his plight.

When I heard the news, I felt a sense of injustice—for his late wife and child. I recalled the serene and dignified face of Madame Chen, and the tears she had shed in front of Ji Manrou.

"Commander Blake came here every single day. Could it be that there is some mechanism here that I haven't discovered yet? Is that why he rushed over the moment he heard it was out of control?" As one of the former guardian spirits of the Wings of Rebirth, Night Wing possessed at least that much insight.
