Chapter 59

The Great Spirit waved the soft jade ribbon, slicing through those seven or eight blue light spheres as easily as cutting a watermelon. They burst in mid-air, scattering dazzling blue sparks that looked quite picturesque.

Hu Yinque's Veiling Banner could only deceive human vision, rendering her invisible to ordinary demons. However, any demon with a high level of cultivation could easily perceive her through spiritual awareness.

Even on the eve of a massive battle, these primitives remained remarkably calm, demonstrating exceptional psychological composure.

"Since you both like them, I'll see if I can catch one. But I've heard that jungle leopard-print monkeys are extremely devoted to their mates. If I catch one, wouldn't I be separating it from its partner? It seems I have no choice but to play the villain—oh well, who asked you two to like them so much?" Ning Yufei deliberately teased.

"Lady Lu, you're finally awake?" Seeing that her daughter-in-law had opened her eyes, yet they lacked their former brilliance, replaced instead by a dull, ashen lifelessness, the Princess of Yan finally believed the estate physician's words. Her daughter-in-law probably wouldn't make it.

A-Lan and other senior maid-in-waiting like Chenxiang, who were currently off-duty, stood quietly behind the mistresses, ready to attend to their needs at any moment.

No sooner had True Immortal Yao's voice faded than those black-armored soldiers, beaten back after their initial discovery, regrouped and launched a second charge.

Along the way, while passing through Hua Shijie's secret treasure chamber, Wang Wei could not resist his curiosity and stepped inside to browse and take a look around.

"Him? Has he even arrived? I haven't seen him at all! Such an irresponsible man, who knows where he's wandered off to squander his time!" Shen Bing said coldly.

Ying Shao, the Grand Administrator of Zhao Commandery, became his chancellor while continuing to perform his duties as administrator. Dian Wei resigned his post as Minister of the Guanglu Guard to become the Commandant of Zhao. Li Damu, also known as Li Bo, succeeded him as Minister of the Guanglu Guard, while Wang Dang assumed the title of General of the Yulin and retained control of the Yulin—the sole remaining military force in the capital of Yecheng.

"Hmph, if Long Yunhui's intelligence is accurate, then the U.S. military and intelligence agencies are completely untrustworthy. Whether they come or not makes little difference; they're just like the police in the movies, always arriving last to clean up the mess," Finch said.

The expressions of the five grand elders turned ugly, yet they offered no retort. This Su Ni possessed a bizarre background and had somehow managed to win the high regard of their eldest brother and Elder Ling. Even though he occupied Room Number 5 of the Jia Series, they held deep apprehension toward him.

Chen Yi recognized this old woman; she was precisely the vendor who sold sugar figurines by the West Lake. The elderly woman must have been out buying vegetables—the greens in her basket were scattered all over the ground, and her eggs were smashed. She sat there on the floor, blood flowing from her leg, uttering not a single word while allowing the young man to berate her.

As the youngest deacon in the history of the Alchemy Hall, whose refined pills were all of pill-king grade, his reputation had long since been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

The next instant, his body was twisted by a spiral. Within the circular spaceship, a spiral slowly emerged, revealing the figure of Qin Zheng.

The only thing Zhu Chongba found deeply regrettable was that the mechanical knowledge he had originally acquired was far too scarce. Otherwise, if he could have utilized petroleum or coal as power sources, it would have been unimaginably wonderful. Still, being able to achieve this much for now, Zhu Chongba was already quite satisfied.

A massive surge of golden light erupted from the mecha, enveloping its entire frame. Underneath this golden radiance, its bulky silhouette gradually shifted, transforming into a slender human-like form.

His entire body seemed to transform into a beam of light as he shot forward, darting back and forth across every corner of the town. Within mere seconds, he returned to his starting point, though his hands now held an extra pile of cubic objects.

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his body abruptly shifted. Accompanied by a piercing dragon roar, a gigantic dragon comparable in size to a planet manifested in the void. He slowly approached the planet, cast a single glance at it with his golden pupils, and then... wrapped his twin claws around it.

"If it truly is him, even if he is the son of an old friend, I will punish him severely without exception. That is why I asked Vice President Xie to stay behind—I wanted you to investigate him discreetly," President Fang said in a deep voice.

By the time I reached the entrance of the village, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening! It was pitch black outside! Since the village paths were entirely unpaved dirt roads and very narrow at the openings, my car simply could not drive in.

Hearing my mother's words, I finally let out a sigh of relief. After chatting a bit more with my mother and the others, I hung up the phone.

"Madman Li, you are utterly lawless! How dare you allow members of the Mainland Organization to cause chaos in Yanjing? This is blatant betrayal." Huangfu Sheng was furious.

The appearance of myself and the fatty also drew the attention of nearby ghosts. Some of them stared straight at us with eyes full of venom, ready to pounce at any second.

Yet he was happy—happy that the person anchored in his heart was also holding him in her thoughts. Weeping seemed to have become their sole means of conveying emotion, even if it appeared somewhat cruel.

Aside from family matters, there was also company business to deal with. With a corporation of that scale, if he didn't handle everything personally, how could his hair have avoided turning white?

Of course, her real purpose was not to flatter him, but to rekindle old ties and subtly remind him that she had aided him on multiple occasions in the past.

"Why on earth did they call the space pirates over? Aren't they afraid of inviting wolves into the house? Or could it be that they hired these pirates to wreak havoc on the rival mining operations while guarding their own mines?" Luke paused halfway through his thought as a plausible scenario dawned on him: those space pirates were most likely recruited precisely to guard the mines.

This chuckle immediately sent a sharp pain through his chest. I couldn't help but worry whether his newly set ribs would fracture all over again.

One must admit that Michelle's timing was impeccable—neither too late nor too early, arriving precisely as Qiu Ruoxi was preparing to leave for work.

A stone stirred a thousand ripples. While Qin Haoran's previous remarks had been ambiguous, Mu Qingqing's implication was now crystal clear, and naturally, some people would be dissatisfied.

It slowly expanded, stretching outward from an initial radius of ten miles to a hundred miles, a thousand miles, and continuously extending further.

The audience in the stands listened to the analysis of the two commentators while watching the massive screen before them. When they saw the Dream Team's heroes executing deny-kills on their own base within the game, they felt utterly bewildered.

Consequently, the players on the Emperor Team manipulated the "Karma" to retreat, ceasing their attacks on Captain Gangplank.

"I'd actually love to have a go against that Gao Lan. I wonder if I can beat him!" Gan Ning chimed in, brimming with fighting spirit.

Naturally, Bai Kun had no intention of proactively clearing up this delightful misunderstanding; he could only temporarily wrong Han Junshou. This caused Bai Kun a minor pang of guilt—after all, he had reaped all the benefits while making Han Junshou take the blame. It wasn't entirely honorable.
