Chapter 45: Zhao Ye Barges In, Interrupting Xiangzhu's Words

It was merely because he was bundled up in too many layers that he couldn't be picked up, but other than that, biting his hands and chewing on his feet just like the Fourth Master, Nanny Zhao felt a bit unaccustomed to it.

As for the underground black market, it looked no different from the roadside stalls on any avenue, yet behind those stalls stood rows of actual shops.

His heart trembled violently. What on earth had happened to this girl? What had transpired inside that taxi to leave her unconscious right up until now?

"General Liu, to think it is you personally leading the soldiers out for training! Splendid, I was just about to look for you to discuss something!" Qin Hui said with a smile.

Therefore, Lin Shuran attributed the reason for Xia Mushen's current predicament entirely to herself.

He felt as though his entire body had been weighted down with lead, while the true qi within him had retreated to his dantian, stubbornly guarding that last patch of territory to prevent the malevolent Qi from invading.

Yu'er had pointed the finger at Ranran, insisting that the whole affair was deliberately framed by her, a fact of which several of them were already aware.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will not say much more. If you encounter any problems or difficulties, you can come to me, and I will do everything in my power to help you!" Hua Qiange had originally intended to ask Mo Zidai to stay, but realizing that doing so might produce the exact opposite effect, she decided against it.

When the motorcade arrived at the seaside villa, Han Qixue immediately caught sight of the cars belonging to Xia Mushen and Zhou Anluo.

Sofia had to consider her own safety; if Jiang Lijun were to find out, he would surely skin her alive.

Had it not been for the subsequent conversation, Si Nian could have continued to be sworn brothers with Chao Changchang.

However, no matter how formidable Naruto's ninjutsu might be, it was utterly useless against someone as powerful as Neji, for Neji's strength was universally acknowledged, and those standing beside the top rank firmly believed in it.

"Black and White Impermanence? Are these the soul-reaping emissaries? Do you intend to drag away my soul?" Lu Jian asked in a cold voice.

To abandon the border cities was something Mu Ling could understand. Setting aside the fact that those border cities were already occupied, even if they had not been invaded by the Ruma people, Su Jin would naturally have chosen these very cities to cede first if she wished to cooperate with them.

Though it clearly pierced into the skin, it felt as though it had struck solid marble, unable to penetrate any further.

Lu Jian was greatly startled. He circulated the Heavenly Demon Heart Skill to devour and neutralize the incoming force, then unleashed two streams of heavenly demon energy that blasted outward. Seizing the opportunity, Lu Jian broke through the encirclement and soared rapidly backward.

Dangerous and unknown perils undoubtedly lurked outside, but Liang Chu was even more worried about the few individuals left behind in the imperial palace. Although the palace was as secure as a fortress, one could never guarantee that some evildoer might manage to sneak inside.

To be honest, Si Yufei and Ji Xi were merely acquaintances who happened to cross paths—put bluntly, they were just strangers who had added each other on WeChat. For her to rush all the way to the capital just to see him at a time like this would indeed seem overly dramatic.

He happened to be the next target: the youngest and most passionate elder of the Azure Wood Palace, Yu Yingqing.

"I am already capable of protecting myself." As she spoke, Izumi actually activated her three-tomoe Sharingan, which then began to spin, transforming into the shape of a cherry blossom.

Emily was quite pleased to see Chen An return; after all, with Chen An around, she could feel much more at ease regarding Yilin's condition.

However, that mattered little to Qin Shouren. With a wave of his hand, a jade disk appeared, shooting forth a beam of spiritual light that caused the mist in the valley to roll and part, forming a passage leading straight into the depths of the valley.

Compared to the Artisan Guild, the Alchemist Guild was vastly wealthier. Its storefront was decorated with incredible grandeur, standing a full three stories high and bustling with far more customers.

A yellow talisman and a spatial pouch appeared. For Su Suan, encountering any danger within the ancient battlefield ruins meant these items would play a crucial role.

The Seven-Forked Fortress was the most important frontline stronghold between the kingdom and the Baccus Empire, as well as the shield protecting the capital city of Leonhart.

Amy had put a great deal of effort into deceiving others, paying the price of twenty warships yet receiving nothing in return—at a glance, she seemed to have taken a heavy loss?

Qianye slightly closed his eyes, appearing indifferent on the surface, while secretly activating the nine-tomoe Rinnegan.

Seeing that his ultimate objective had been achieved, Jiang's father nodded repeatedly, and the two of them left the school and walked toward home.

"How about this? First, take some leave from Lan Bai and rest well at home. Once the matter with Lan Bai is settled, I will arrange a new mission for you!" Hu Haitian said.

Finally, the commotion startled the newly awakened Helan, who was dining inside. Dragging Iversel with him, he ran downstairs, raising his gun just in time to see Yang Yanduan ahead.

Yechen had no heart to deal with such complex political affairs. Leaving the general's mansion, he once again stepped into the Purgatory Space.

"Cough, cough! Never did I expect that a hundred years later, someone would cultivate to such an extraordinary realm. You must have reached the Divine Dao realm, right? In the two hundred years I have lived, this is the first time I have seen such a young practitioner of the Divine Dao realm." Within the Zhang family residence, an aged and vicissitudinous voice resounded.

Although Fang Huahui's subordinates standing nearby did not understand what their young master intended to do, they assumed that whatever their young master did must have its reasons.

When a war is underway, people require such a harsh executioner wielding a heavy whip; yet once the war ends, everything reverses.

However, I understand one thing: once a couple ties their hair together, they are bound for life! As the old master just said, I am a stubborn person with a one-track mind. Once I set my mind on something, not even eight horses can pull me back. I know how important Ruolan is to me, and I can feel her reliance on me. To ask me to abandon her is simply impossible!

When the orders from Luo Zhenshan and Zhu Shihao reached the experts of the other prominent clans and noble families in Emperor City, they cursed Luo Zhenshan and Zhu Shihao in their hearts for being scoundrels, yet having no other recourse, they could only obey the commands of the two.

The final burial site was the grave of Emiya Kiritsugu. Regrettably, Kirei did not know the exact location of his tomb; otherwise, he would have long since dug up Emiya Kiritsugu's remains, ground his bones into powder, and manufactured Origin Bullets.
