Volume 1, Chapter 21: Playing Matchmaker for Her

Therefore, as long as the bloodline of Abe no Seimei remains unbroken, the Abe clan will continue to flourish.

Due to the temporary cessation of the trebuchets, the only stones in the sky were those being launched toward Ascending Dragon City, with no counter-fire coming from within. Only when the attackers charged closer did a hail of arrows rain down from the ramparts.

"Heh, don't you think playing with a whip is a bit too mild? I prefer something more intense. How about we try using knives or toothpicks?" Huo Ziyin laughed.

Lang Yu glanced at Ximen Xuan, then turned his gaze back to Yuan Zhongtian. The old man wore a look of somber malice and remained silent.

Although Qi Jingtong’s ancestral home was Dingyuan in Nanzhili, he had spent so long in Shandong that he no longer had any relatives left in Dingyuan, though he had many old acquaintances in Shandong.

However, setting aside whether the human body could even endure the dense miasma permeating this ventilation shaft, the howling winds, high-level offensive spirit arrays, and the complex terrain within the hidden cavern were enough to chill anyone to the bone.

Fan Zhao was ecstatic, thinking to himself, "She called me 'Young Master Xu,' which means she hasn't forgotten our past affection." Fan Zhao watched Yan Shiyu’s graceful figure recede into the distance, a sense of melancholy stirring in his heart.

After all, the soldiers of the Yong army were not made of wood, nor were they mere electronic units; their morale was not constant, and everyone knew that the battle on the river determined their only path of retreat.

Specifically, Lin Ran discovered a significant historical scene within the scroll, which appeared to depict an imperial excursion, with various officials emerging from the Old Summer Palace to bid the Emperor farewell.

Feeling nauseated, Wang Zixuan finally finished her meal. Dropping her bowl and chopsticks, she hurried upstairs to change her clothes; the way those two were acting so strangely early in the morning was truly revolting.

Besides, Zuizui was right; the person she needed to worry about now was Tingting. Only by helping Tingting emerge from the haze of betrayal could she regain her radiance.

The space before him shattered along with the sliding blade of light, appearing like fragments of a broken mirror, with each shard reflecting images from a different angle.

U5 opened his eyes wide, feeling waves of energy moving frantically through his body. They roamed everywhere, eventually beginning to slowly enhance him in every possible way.

Chen Bolin cast a calm glance at the situation before him, then walked straight to Huang Leixin’s side and placed a hand over his.

As she spoke, Natasha noticed that Igos seemed unusually silent. She looked at him again and found the red dragon’s expression to be exceptionally grim.

In the corner, Natasha felt relieved to have survived the terrifying night. Beneath the heavy steel, the mutated Goodyias continued to repeat the words she had spoken countless times before.

Although he couldn't clearly track the two afterimages, he could sense that Wujie had gained no advantage against Lu Zhenting.

This red dragon's reactions were truly bizarre and completely unpredictable; if he kept on like this, there was no telling what kind of trouble might arise.

Reciting a mantra under his breath, he pointed a finger into the void, forming a Spirit-Binding Array. The Yuan family’s mansion became Xu Shaoyu’s private domain.

Chu Yunluo gently pushed Jun Yeqing aside and walked toward the room's large bay window. It was noisy outside. Chu Yunluo looked out, where the dim streetlights cast a faint, pale glow.

Feng Yanxiong lifted his head in a daze, his face already flushed with the effects of alcohol, peering around to find the source of the voice.

Yi Le was already accustomed to this side of Azusagawa Sakuta, so he didn't react much, but Kasumigaoka Utaha’s mouth twitched. She opened her mouth, wanting to make a sharp, venomous remark, but swallowed it back down.

Yi Le admitted that his sister’s body was highly tempting, but looking at her, he felt as though he could see his father’s face and the image of himself lying in the orthopedic ward of a hospital in another country.

"Tomorrow, we face off against one of the three great families. Guess what our odds of winning are?" Lu Qi asked.

No one had ever seen it, let alone described it, but everyone understood in their hearts that the Seven-Colored Fusion Force must be a power that surpassed the Golden Fusion Force of the Fusion Emperors.

The mountain was very tall. Su Jiu and the others walked for a long time before reaching the summit, where a flat plaza lay. At the end of the plaza stood a magnificent palace, its imposing structure rising into the air. Dense spiritual energy formed a light mist, refracting into five-colored light and making the place look like a celestial fairyland.

Empress Xiao had originally been worried about Yang Zhao’s health and wanted him to rest early, but seeing his high spirits, she could not bear to refuse him and allowed him to handle state affairs with Yang Guang.

This high-level Death God Beast had breathed a sigh of relief when its companions returned, but upon looking up at the sky again, it grew dissatisfied. It resolved that if it could survive and return, it would definitely settle the score with those high-level Death God Beasts in the sky that had been transformed from humans.

He watched silently as the pill, nearly refined within the cauldron, dissipated into black smoke once more, feeling utterly helpless.

Su Jiu nodded, then activated the array. Once a portal of light formed upon it, she stepped directly inside.

Next season, he would receive an initial loyalty bonus of nearly 3.5 million pounds, along with many other clauses that would place him among the highest-paid players in the world.

Across the vast battlefield, everything seemed to fall into a state of absolute stillness, where the drop of a pin could be heard.

Since Guo Qin and Yiyi had no special channels to find a ship to Demon Island, they went to great lengths in the coastal city of the Great Qin Empire before finally finding this merchant ship bound for the Eastern Sea Empire. They planned to disembark when the ship passed the islands near Demon Island, then find another way to reach their destination.

Ling Yun was shocked to hear this. The plan to counterattack the East was immediately cast from his mind, and he ordered Shuguang to settle the mission rewards at once. He called out to Huo'er, letting her jump onto his shoulder, and pushed the door open.

At that time, I was holding Wen Wanqing’s hand. Her father wore an unnatural smile and said nothing, looking down at where our hands were clasped. I instinctively wanted to let go, but Wen Wanqing gripped me even tighter.
