Volume One, Chapter 54: Strike First as a Courtesy

To be honest, the frustration in Lin Yonghe’s heart completely dissipated; this girl truly doesn’t hold back when something’s wrong. She’s definitely not someone easily bullied.

Ye Shenghong stepped out to smooth things over, saying, “We’re all from the same village. Arguing like this isn’t exactly something to laugh about!”

“Our production quota for the month still hasn’t been met. If you have energy to spare, better put it into work!”

“Tomorrow’s a public holiday. Let’s have Comrade Ningxia take the village women to the town to shop, and bring back some rice and oil.”

The moment the crowd heard the quota hadn’t been met, a chorus of groans erupted.

“Our Ye Family Village still has mostly the old, the young, and women, so we have a larger quota. After struggling for a month, we can’t even get a meal with meat…”

“Mian’er, if things turn out as you suspect, what do you think the Illusionless Kingdom will do? Will they attack?” The Emperor looked at Lan Qimian with a serious expression.

“Haha… Who from Snow God Mountain wants to exchange blows?” Gong Fengman was extremely confident now, his purple robe trembling slightly as a surge of energy swept out. Several disciples from Snow God Mountain with lower cultivation were forced to retreat two steps.

After the farewell, the people from Illusionless Kingdom left the palace under the escort of Lan Xiao Kingdom’s army, accompanied by a prison cart carrying Xue Gui. As for Xue Juan’er, she had already committed suicide last night after Officer Lingyou and the others left the dungeon. The Crown Prince Lan Qiming never showed himself.

Tang Fei, for once, chased after Huang Qifa, but instead approached Huang Qin with a wicked smile, despite her angry face.

After acquiring the [Blue Feather], Chasing Fate nodded woodenly and returned to Kriks’ side.

He re-consecrated all his divine powers and treasures, and merged the newly acquired Fire Dragon Serpent with his own innate true fire, performing a new ritual.

“Sir… there’s a letter here.” Jili handed over the letter he’d just found in Feather Tower.

Zeng Hao slapped his storage pouch, taking out nearly two hundred mid-level spirit talismans.

The latter approach was equally futile. In human form, Zeng Hao’s cultivation was still insufficient; even if he summoned the South Bright Departure Fire Sword or used his innate true fire, he might not obtain the object of extreme cold.

The collision of two supreme divine weapons was billions of times more terrifying than a nuclear explosion, bringing heaven and earth to ruin, everything destroyed. The world of calamity fractured, the void splitting into fissures that spread everywhere, spawning void storms and dark currents, causing devastating destruction.

“It’s really nothing much, just let it go…” Su Manni, seeing Li Lu acting shameless, retreated tactically with a casual remark.

If Chen Feng tried to break the seal now, he’d immediately alert the elder in the nearby stone chamber. As a key enemy related to a difficult trial, he wouldn’t be easily dispatched.

At first, he felt anger and jealousy, even tried to harm Feng Yun in every possible way. But before he could come up with a plan, Feng Yun’s growth had already surpassed his imagination.

Six of them explored the cave, Su Changmei and Park Xiangtian each leading two companions. Chen Feng had thought perhaps they’d argue or even fight at the final moment. Unexpectedly, the one who betrayed and assassinated Su Changmei was her closest friend, Fairy Ji Yun.

Later, Zhang Feixiang instructed Lu Xiaolan and Lu Xiaoyu to lead their twenty-plus comrades ahead to set up in Japan.

When Lu Cheng announced his transition to directing and starring as the male lead in his first directorial project, the news immediately drew widespread media attention.

Zhang Hao nodded in agreement; after all, the urgent task now was to plan the evening’s operation. If all went well, the Japanese warships would arrive in this area tonight.

In the conference room, besides Zheng Jian, there were over a dozen professional bodyguards, and dozens more security guards outside.

After the pregnancy test, Song Yunzhang’s first thought was to get an abortion. Calm and restrained, she decided she couldn’t keep the child.

He instantly became alert—someone was stealing inside? He quickly drew his assault rifle from the motorcycle box and walked slowly toward the area.

That voice… it wasn’t Tian Zhixiang’s. After such a clear sentence, Qin Mu nearly pressed his phone to his ear, but could only make out broken fragments of conversation.

The crystal chandelier above the sofa had its effect: the transparent, hidden bomb was attached right to the surface’s seam. The light from the top illuminated its clear exterior perfectly.

Dong Xin was stunned; it was the first time someone had questioned him like that. As one of the Emperor’s attendants, he was always the one interrogating others.

The TV screen shifted, showing a dark courtyard, with a well in the center.

“That doesn’t sound good,” Dai Ru replied lazily to her brainless cousin, who spent her days idly making useless friends and always thought she was thriving in the ‘underworld,’ glancing at the weary Lu Lu in the rearview mirror.

Now, to achieve such results in hell, this soul stone was of vital importance.

Chu Xuan took off his glasses, handed them to Juejing, and then jumped straight off the fighter plane.

Jian Yue was shocked—this car wasn’t the company’s at all, but a private gift from Duan Yuyan, registered in her name.

Speaking of practicality, what did she gain from this marriage? No love, no respect, no material benefit.

The existence of this contact platform and information channel meant everything for an organization like the Assassin’s Alliance.

For ten days, he’d been traveling ceaselessly, feeling as if a heavy stone weighed on his heart, nearly suffocating him.

In a flash, blue light surged like a raging sea, meteors falling from the sky. Under its fierce momentum, Dan Li’s protective golden aura was shattered, the blue light struck her chest, and she screamed, coughing blood as she collapsed.

It existed only on Giant Stone Star, and every Giant Stone native learned this technique, passed down through generations.

Qin Yu’s heart burned like fire; behind him, the spirits shrieked and the white bone attacks layered upon each other, the vast shadow blocking the rain and spreading behind him.

But there was no more time for Ling Xia to hesitate—by the next day, she knew she had to go to Yuanqing City, for Zhong Xiao had called, asking her to come.

“These people all came with Mu Gaohan—how could they escape the eyes of our Sacred Spring Principality? If even they’re unclear, then our people might as well not bother.” Feng Chen said naturally.

Perhaps from sleeping too long in the car, her legs gave way the moment she stepped down, sending her tumbling straight into his arms.

Watching Zhong Xiao’s tall, slender silhouette, she suddenly remembered how she often ran into her at the school gates each morning, rushing to class. Judging by her demeanor, she seemed to have just come back from outside as well.

But just then, loud noises erupted outside, accompanied by the servants’ shrieks.

Lost in reverie, Li Xun stood silently at the bow, so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn’t notice until a warm body pressed tightly against him from behind.
