As Ao Xi handed over enough provisions, Zhuo Ning's expression finally softened slightly, and she told him not to lie in the future and to speak directly if anything came up.

Ao Xi repeatedly made promises, then tentatively asked her how she had figured out something was amiss, but Zhuo Ning refused to tell him no matter how much he asked.

Seeing that she was unwilling to say, Ao Xi had no choice but to drop the matter. He was tired and went to sleep.

He had not slept for long when he was awakened by a phone call. He checked the time; it was half-past twelve.

"Don't you people ever sleep?"

"Sleep, what sleep—"

At that moment, Yelu Ping clapped his hands twice, and four Khitan warriors walked over carrying a black-lacquered wooden chest. It was evident that the chest was not light.

Chuanxuan Chidori had originally believed that the gap in strength between himself and Yingjun was not significant, and coupled with the pincer attack from the masters of the Republic of Korea, they would surely be able to kill Yingjun. However, the very moment they clashed, the attack from the Korean master was not only blocked, but he was also sent flying with a single kick.

"Then I promise you, you will definitely be the last one." Yuan Shao raised two fingers, preparing to swear an oath to the heavens.

The 59th Infantry Regiment itself had suffered heavy casualties in the previous battles to reinforce the 6th Division. Although the main force of the regiment had been withdrawn by Seiichi Kita, who saw that the situation was turning unfavorable, an equivalent of one and a half battalions—along with part of the forces attached to the 15th Infantry Regiment—vanished into thin air together with the 6th Division in the mountainous region south of Yilan.

Only then did Yingjun remember that his father and mother had already been taken by Old Zhang to help out at the pharmacy. As for Alibaba, that foreign fellow, Yingjun naturally hadn't forgotten him either—after all, his very first pot of gold had been made off this guy.

Recalling the former demeanor and elegance of Marquis Zhuge, one could not help but feel a sense of reverence. Why, then, were the others still showing looks of astonishment?

Bringing up this matter, Yingjun also looked toward Ouyang Mowu. He noticed not only that there were too many people here, but also that virtually everyone practiced some form of ancient martial arts, with many true masters among them. He had no idea what these people had come here to do.

"Giggle." On the other side, Mu Wan'er watched the exchange between Brother Muchen and Sister Ruoxi, unable to help herself from giggling, though a trace of bitterness arose in her heart. Meanwhile, hearing Mu Wan'er's giggles made Lin Ruoxi's pretty face flush red.

A purple-golden palm condensed out of thin air in front of the Heaven-Obscuring Battle Chariot. Within the palm, visions of hundreds of millions of stars emerged, forming a galaxy that continuously reversed, radiating the mighty power to grasp the sun and the moon. Possessing an intense suction force, it directly grabbed the Demonic Body of the Heaven-Obscuring Great Emperor into its grasp and rapidly pulled it back.

Most crucially, this brigade commander, who possessed a broad strategic vision, knew that if he let this group of Japanese troops slip past, regardless of where their target might be based on their direction and momentum of penetration, it would pose a considerable threat to the overall deployment of the higher command. No matter how many enemy troops came, he had to nail himself right here.

She had already foreseen the outcome; making the fifth phone call was merely a matter of routine, just to satisfy her obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

Imperial Physician Fei feigned being frightened out of his wits, knocking his head against the ground and trembling as he said, "It... it was prescribed by Physician Qin, whom His Majesty appointed yesterday."

She felt that Wen Ruyu's personality clashed with hers, but apart from that, there was not a single aspect of this man that did not cater to her or treat her well.

After Yun Shu left, Fu Fengmian went to the bathroom. When he came out, he saw Fu Nanjing standing in the room.

He leaned down, his long arm hooking her chin, his eyes narrowing as his low voice fell beside her ear.

Qiao Feng could not accept the reality of being a Khitan, so he selectively chose to forget this matter.

If China's first truck was the Jiefang brand, then what brand was China's first sedan?

Young Master Han and Wu Cheng brought the Night King's warrant into the mansion to snatch the person directly, then rushed straight to the imperial palace with their captive.

"Bah, what nonsense are you spouting!" Qian Wushuang swished her hips and walked off. Just as she entered the bridal chamber, took off her clothes, and prepared to change into men's attire, she was grabbed from behind and embraced.

Hearing Wu Cang's words, Yuan Yao was about to speak when, at that very instant, he sensed an unfamiliar aura slowly approaching them.

Likewise, Su Qiubai now fully understood why Jia and Yi had agreed to let Yunlan Mountain take away Xia Rongrong and the others.

Liu Shouren, Liu Shouyi, and Su Hongying walked slowly behind. When they arrived, they saw two tables set up on the heated brick bed and the floor, laden with six full dishes.

"According to you, A-Dao should also attain eternal life. Why don't you cast another divination for Da-Zhuang?" Niu Lang said while taking out his smoking pipe.
Unless there is a major change—such as more than one outstanding figure ascending to their true self or unfortunately perishing—the interval is only adjusted temporarily. Otherwise, this interval is quite reasonable; after all, could someone really make several consecutive leaps within a single month?

It was solely because at this moment, a massive shadow loomed over their hearts. Everyone, including Ye Xingyuan and Shen Wanin, was permeated with a bone-chilling coldness from head to toe, and those with slightly weaker cultivation could not even stop their hands from trembling slightly.

Presently, short-term bears were very strong in the market while long positions were scarce. If they closed out these 1 million lots of USD/CAD long positions, it would cause USD/CAD to fall further, pointlessly draining even more profits.

His lean figure possessed muscles that were not overly prominent; they were not the bulging kind, but rather filled with a streamlined beauty and explosive power, carved as if by a knife and axe. This perfect golden ratio was the ultimate proportion pursued by everyone in this world.

In just an instant, the pain that had continuously made Yun Su frown vanished into thin air. Once the pain disappeared, he could not help but let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

Shuzhen, who had long been looking forward to a good bath, was filled with pleasant surprise when she saw him, and she couldn't help but actively hug Lianshan and give him a fierce kiss.

Uncontrollable terror washed over Liu Ruqing's face. It was over, it was truly over now. These identical footprints completely sealed her doom; no matter what she said, it was useless.

As for Li Sanshan, facing a soul beast like the one before him meant he had zero chance of victory, though escaping was still feasible.

Hearing this, Nian Liangliang finally put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a paper towel, and stared at her with a smile for a moment.

Yun Qing had heard of Luochen's past, but she did not know the specifics. It wasn't until today that she truly learned what Luochen had experienced.

Lin Ruofeng's mouth twitched. At the Human Sovereign realm, there probably weren't many people who had the confidence to speak like that.

Lin Ruofeng let out a cold snort and unhesitatingly unleashed the first stance of the Battle Sacred Fist. A golden fist print formed, fiercely striking toward that dark, massive claw.

Perhaps he would even get Cui Junwei to help, after all, everyone knew the truth about what happened back then, but on the surface, a master-servant relationship still existed between them.

However, Mouse Brave and Mouse Fierce did not possess divine abilities with such strong recovery capabilities. Even as Mighty Experts, their recovery from injuries was far inferior to Lin Ruofeng's.
