“Uh!” Everyone present was stunned. The usually stern and rigid captain was actually displaying a fawning expression toward a complete stranger. What was going on?
Seeing the strange condition of Jack’s hand, Dong Tingtian was grateful that he had not touched the unidentified liquid while wiping it earlier. He also abandoned his suspicions of Jack. After all, this doll was the robbers’ final opportunity and trump card; if Jack had truly been one of them, he would never have given it up so easily.
The real question was, whom were the weapons smuggled by Zhai Yi intended for? What purpose could the people behind the purchase of so much weaponry possibly have?
Cui Li had followed Si Shaoyan for many years and was utterly loyal to him. During the five years Si Shaoyan remained unconscious, Cui Li had cared for him with unwavering devotion.
Only then did Si Shaojue slowly sit back down. After watching the other party sign the contract with his own eyes, he merely cast a faint glance at Assistant Zhang behind him.
Thus, the next day, Shen Yanjun and Xianqiao went to the imperial palace together, but she still felt somewhat uneasy. After all, she had suffered at the empress’s hands far too many times in the past. Who could say what the woman truly meant by this?
“Biliam, I’m beginning to worry that your plan may not work!” Yiluo said anxiously.
In the latter half of the night, Xia Xixi, sleeping groggily in Si Shaojue’s bedroom, was awakened by the urge to urinate and immediately felt terribly uncomfortable.
With that thought, Mu Qi brazenly seized Yin Yan’s hand, forcibly interlaced their fingers before his eyes, then raised her chin and waved their clasped hands in front of him.
If Mi Jia had been alone, she would have fired without hesitation. Gas at this concentration could never explode. But Hu Fei and Qiao Biyun were beside her.
Yan Hua glanced at A Yan. Seeing that her eyes were unfocused and her expression distant, she seemed to be sinking into memories of the past.
Even other people’s children could inspire envy when they were this exceptional. She also possessed striking beauty, yet despite having everything, she showed no trace of arrogance, always maintaining a calm, detached expression.

“By the way, Sister He Xing will be arriving soon too.” Qian Xi winked at Si Ji and gave a mischievous laugh.
On the day the Sui army breached Dongdu, our scouts heard a succession of thunderous explosions inside the city. It was not long before the Sui troops stormed in.
Whether it was cold or not, she wanted to drape it over him. The Bian’er-ge before her had to stay warm.
Just as he had told Shen Yuan over the phone, Huo Chenyuan had no intention of returning to the Huo residence. He drove instead to the gates of A University.
The subsidy was available only after descending into the cave, whereas the consultant’s salary was paid every year. Naturally, the best approach was to go down into the cave for the subsidy first, then come back out to collect the salary.
She turned twice before the mirror and examined herself carefully for a while. Suddenly, she remembered that the dress had been inspired by the color of that jade. After spending a year cultivating in seclusion on Snowhowl Mountain, certain fragments of her memory had grown clearer. She now recalled that, while living in the wilderness, she had already wondered about the origins of this peculiar outfit.
Aguda cast a satisfied glance at Wuqimai. He had thought the letter was merely an act staged by Wuqimai and Duan Jingzhu together. After a while, Wanyan Xiyi and Wanyan Xu came to the same conclusion as well. The three exchanged a knowing smile. So long as it could raise the army’s morale, what did it matter what method they used?
The tomb was enormous—far larger than it had appeared from a distance. It had neither stele nor marker, making it impossible to tell who was buried there, much less when the burial had taken place.
These jade slips differed somewhat from those containing divine arts and secret techniques. One needed only to inject a small amount of true essence to read their contents.
Hua Yun’s pupils contracted. Spreading all ten fingers, he unleashed sword rays that pierced through the heavens for thousands of meters, sweeping across the sky before finally colliding with the six vicious beasts and annihilating one another.
Tianmu Peak, foremost among the four peaks, was renowned for its towering and precipitous slopes. The entire mountain resembled a long blade thrust into the heavens, rising high into the clouds.
In the next instant, everyone saw brilliant crimson light blazing above the ancient hall. Waves of fire soared into the sky like a volcanic eruption, shaking the ground below. The heavens overhead had become an ocean of flames, with countless fire dragons surging and roaring within it.
Zhao Yunrang did not open his eyes to see who was approaching until You Jingyan came near, though he had already guessed who it was.
According to the records, thousands of years ago, a physique balanced among four elemental attributes had once appeared in the primordial world. It had been known as invincible among those of the same level and had shaken the entire primordial realm.

Zhang Yuanhao possessed immense heavenly fortune. After his fortune seed transformed into a celestial fortune vine, the feedback from the fortune gained through killing others could scarcely cause any visible change in the color of his vine’s fortune. Yet he could clearly sense that with every life he took, his fortune accumulated imperceptibly.
“Is Brother Yang not serving the king at this very moment? Once we take Jiāmeng Pass, won’t your great achievement be complete?” Gan Ning said frankly.
The common people outside knew nothing of the twists and turns within, but she, who had lived deep in the imperial harem for many years, understood them all too well.
Although these students could not calculate that the copper rod would be blown away by the wind because they had not yet learned fluid mechanics at the undergraduate level, they believed that the rod would at least follow a parabolic trajectory in the magnetic field and could never pass through its lowest point.
“Boss, the government seems quite willing to leave the Bansai Group to us. After all, in City C, only my Umbrella Group has the ability to handle this,” Wu Peng said as he walked over.
With good and evil clearly distinguished and killing carried out without hesitation, Sun Mao could think of only two words to describe him: decisive and ruthless.
The injury caused by the waning moon was not severe, but the amplification of the Annihilation energy made its impact extraordinarily powerful. It directly shattered the internal organs of both men, killing them on the spot.
“Dad, you didn’t come here just to tell me this, did you?” Yun Hao detected something amiss and grew cautious.
But Li Yu was a man of principle. He returned kindness with kindness, and Ying Deyi had fought shoulder to shoulder with him from beginning to end. Li Yu had already accepted him as a companion.
Liu Hengzhi reached out and used the balance beam to lift the red bridal veil. Fan Mingyu appeared before everyone, her beauty radiant and her charm utterly captivating.
Li Xin had originally intended to visit Consort Jiazhao in person, but Zhi He and Lian Yu stopped her. After all, Li Xin was pregnant, and visiting someone gravely ill was considered inauspicious.
