127 Succubus (35)

Emperor Chongzhen noticed the sweat beading on his forehead and said, “Remove your robe! Today, there is no one else around, and no matters of state to attend to—no need for formalities.” Wei Zhongxian, being corpulent and naturally averse to heat, had just drunk several strong cups of hot tea. Despite the cooling weather of early autumn, he felt a restless warmth throughout his body and proceeded to loosen his robe.

“This matter is simple. A few days ago, I met with Jiangsu’s Provincial Governor Zhang Guowei and gave the instructions. It won’t take more than a month back and forth,” Wu Changshi said, pulling a silver note from his sleeve and sliding it toward Tang Zhizheng.

Wang Zhu and Lin Xiangfeng felt as if they were in a fog, about to ask further questions, but when they saw Mao Yongyi, the garrison commander of Lüshun, approaching with a smile, they quickly fell silent.

“The lady not only failed to understand our lord’s intentions but even sought to kill the young master herself. It is truly unbelievable,” Ishikawa Kazumasa said.

“Did you see it with your own eyes?” The emperor’s gaze turned stern as he looked at Xu Zhaoyuan, his voice growing deeper.

Ma Changxun, who had remained silent until then, spoke up: “If it were just a single character ‘fire,’ it would be even more confusing. To this day, I have never written a banner bearing an entire sentence.”

Before Liu Bang awaited the arrival of the era’s greatest strategist, he could only cross the river by feeling the stones beneath his feet.

“What! Xinliang’s bastard reinforcements have finally arrived.” Oono Hirashige, who was about to commit seppuku, looked up and saw that the reinforcements from his clan had indeed come, breathing a sigh of relief. Inwardly, he thought how close he had come to ending his own life if the reinforcements had been any later.

The puppets of the Red Sand Scorpion could inherit the deceased’s ninja techniques and even bloodline limits. Similarly, the magnetic sand iron control that made the Third Kazekage the strongest Kazekage was also passed down to the puppet.

His goal, of course, was to extract all of Li Xunshi’s understanding of the laws of heaven and earth and his true energy, only to return them to him in the future.

Shen Mingzhu, resigned, went to change clothes, while the Grand Princess paid no mind and sat waiting in the main hall.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ming and the others invited the Bloodstained Warlord to their private room on the YY platform to discuss matters. “Warlord, how are the new members doing? You’ve been leading them a lot lately, haven’t you?” Zhang Ming greeted the Warlord with a smile before asking about the situation.

After completing the task this time, Zhang Ming and his group had collected four relics from the battles of long ago for Kalen Redpass. Upon seeing Zhang Ming and the others again, Kalen seemed somewhat incredulous, his expression clearly changed as he spoke with some excitement.

The car roared wildly as it chased the man ahead. The man gritted his teeth, threw his arms back, and ran with all his might—he was so desperate it was as if he could sprout wings and fly. Han Danzi’s car was just three to five meters behind him.

“So, sir, have you never considered sealing this door permanently?” Yaoyin leaned closer, squinting with a smile.

The three families immediately gathered, took out their crystal cards, and shuffled them among themselves, finally assembling a crystal card worth 980,000 silver coins for Yang Qingxuan.

Han Danzi cursed inwardly: “Damn it! That woman, I can’t come home anymore! What a thing to say!” He was quite displeased and said, “Juanzi! You and Auntie go back! I can sew this jacket myself!” Han Danzi followed out and snatched the garment from Juan’s hands.

Midnight’s gaze showed a hint of surprise. There were some residual magnetic light particles even she couldn’t fully cleanse, yet under the power of the Dao Pattern Pill, it was completely washed away.

Han Danzi glanced at the monkey and the vulture, who were both listening intently, then shook his fist, scaring the two into turning their faces away as if resting.

In the world of his ancestors, hunting was vital for the tribe’s survival. Various animals were hunted, and soul energy was abundantly poured into the fire pits.

Yet even experts at the Mayo Clinic found Liu Xiang’s surgery extraordinarily difficult. Ye Cheng might not ultimately gain the approval of Deputy Director Ma and others.

Modern high-yield grains, regardless of taste, can produce up to a thousand kilograms per mu.

She looked up, stunned, at the dark, gloomy sky. Raindrops slid down from her reddened eyes like tears.

Clicking send, Feng Nan held her phone, waiting for a reply from Yueyang, while continually refining her bold plan.

Li Biao nodded, set down his shovel, and immediately called Yueyang. After Feng Nan and he arrived at the scene, Feng Nan suspected the remaining four corpses were buried in an abandoned brick kiln. They proceeded to the kiln, and Li Biao detailed how they discovered the bodies alive to Yueyang.

Upon hearing that Fuxi had come to visit, Kunpeng hesitated little and decided to meet with him.

As the young chef moved, the king crab meat was carefully extracted bit by bit. The pristine, tender crab meat was revealed to the onlookers, making their mouths water.

Among protective spiritual treasures, those like the Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe, which could be worn close to the body and take effect immediately, were the most precious.

However, when they nervously peeked out to assess the situation outside, they found matters were entirely different from what they had imagined.

Mother met my gaze and understood. She nodded gently, then said, “You must be Lingling and Meier. Hehe, so adorable. You two boys should call me Auntie. Cai’er, you should call me that too.” She looked at Lingling, Meier, and Sister Cai’er as she spoke.

Ye Tian nodded and looked at the other corpses. Judging by the time, these people had died the day before yesterday, meaning they likely met their fate the very night they ascended this mountain peak.

But a so-called Pill Realm Demigod is still a Pill Realm Demigod. They cannot compare to an Innate Master. Xing Luo’s ability to spar a few rounds with a Pill Realm Demigod relied entirely on his physical and spiritual strength. His true power was merely that of an Innate Master.

An Ran certainly knew Lan Qing. He was the editor responsible for the food section who had just sent her a submission invitation. An Ran understood that inviting Lan Qing was another act of goodwill from Sister Wei. The help she had received was beyond what a simple “thank you” could repay. She would take things slowly and nurture the relationship.

Liu Kun was taken aback. He could guess what Ye Tian was planning with the invitation, but what about the phone call?

Inside the camp’s main tent, Mu Tianchen sat quietly cross-legged on the bed. Faint waves of primordial energy emanated from the space, then streams of it entered his body through the acupoints. The path of cultivation was like rowing upstream, so Mu Tianchen dared not neglect even a moment of his energy practice.

He struggled desperately, but Ma Jianyao was equally determined to manipulate the spatial laws. Although hellfire is notoriously difficult to extinguish once ignited, Ma faced a genetically modified, Class-A Dragon Whisperer and could not treat the matter lightly. If Kirkwood escaped, the hellfire’s effectiveness would be greatly diminished.
