Volume 1, Chapter 49: Tender Female Secretary, Top of the Prodigy Rankings

"Not the slightest bit of disobedience?"

Cao Mo's lips curved into a smile, his handsome eyes as brilliant as the stars carrying a hint of playfulness. "Then what if this governor wants you to share his bed?"

"Share your bed..."

Xu Miaotong was slightly startled.

She clearly had not expected that Cao Mo would directly ask her to share his bed.

Every step of the Supreme Celestial Wolf trod upon the heart of Crimson Makeup, slow yet impossible to ignore.

Sure enough, the divisions led by Han Dang and Xu Sheng marched abreast across the center of the battlefield, suddenly splitting into two factions. Han Dang moved right to strike Chen Shi's forces, while Xu Sheng went left to attack Fu Tong's troops.

The pier needed to be rebuilt, but how it would be rebuilt, when it would be rebuilt, and what it would look like were not decisions the Lu family alone could make.

Among these bandits, there were many Evolvers. Usually, these Evolvers held themselves in high esteem, possessing a superior sense of entitlement. Yet at this moment, under the crossfire of these two expert marksmen, they were no different from ordinary people at all.

His judgment might have been accurate, but the isthmus was fortified by the sturdy fortresses built by Moltke. Not only did they fail to break into the Crimean Peninsula, but instead, Moltke seized the opportunity to further compress the encirclement. Now, the hundred thousand Russian soldiers did not even have the chance to break out in scattered groups.

The Manchu Qing Empire—a nation that left Britain utterly speechless—completely looked down upon the Western diplomatic system and couldn't be bothered to join any Western diplomatic frameworks. Trading with European countries was fine, but signing treaties was out of the question; trade was simply a bestowal of grace from the Emperor of the Great Qing.

No wonder people say that once someone gets rich, they always seem exceptionally busy. Fang Hao had just hung up Ding Chao's call when someone else immediately dialed in. He saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

The only thing she couldn't understand was: since Fu Hongzhuang knew, why didn't she just state it clearly instead of being so roundabout?

A level-six zombie was still insignificant to Fang Hao, but he was acutely aware that this place was extremely close to the City Lord's Mansion. If he made even the slightest commotion, tens of thousands of zombies might immediately swarm the area, among which there would be no small number of high-level ones.

However, with the public release of the news, the festive atmosphere was diluted a great deal. Even the banquet hosted by Lin Haoran, Yang Futian, and others that very night drew a few more voices of condemnation.

Now, Ye Kong increasingly felt a sense of "difference"—the deceleration of the rate of gold coin devaluation was the best proof of that.

The Alby Empire certainly did not wish to see a massive outflow of fuel; such a prospect was hardly to their liking.

Outside the room, Ah Shui had rounded the corridor, holding a bronze basin of hot water, and arrived at the door.

Yet, he was unwilling to give up. The foundation left by his ancestors could not be ruined in his hands; otherwise, a hundred years from now, how could he face his forebears with any dignity?

Several Tuyuhun generals shielded Shilu Qin, forcefully breaking through the encirclement of the Sui army. Leaving behind a field of scattered troops and the grain they had labored to plunder, they fled for their lives without looking back.

In short, from the perspective of the Nine-Star Empire, this time the Eight-Star Empire simply wouldn't be able to hold out for long. Ultimately, there would only be one outcome: as time went on, the opponent would inevitably end up retreating obediently. To a nine-star empire, this posed no threat whatsoever.

He wondered how those members of the royal family who had previously looked down upon him were doing now, and for some reason, Elison suddenly felt a sense of loneliness at the top.

Then he glanced around at the pairs of eyes in the coffee shop watching them as if treating the place like a stage, and reminded them.

Chobalingus was Lu Qi's healer, and during the healing process, he attempted to probe the fusion energy within Lu Qi's body.

The green-skinned fellows were going crazy. They had almost secured victory, but the group before their eyes had suddenly vanished like this. To them, this was utterly incomprehensible, filled with bewilderment as to what on earth could have happened to bring about such a state.
