Suppressing the North and Displaying Might - Chapter 146: The Smile of the White Lotus

The old man was somewhat surprised. "You know her?"

"That's right, I suppose we can be considered friends," Li Qiutong thought for a moment and said.

"That's rather strange. Little Lian has always been a loner; it's rare to see her with any friends," the old man recalled.

Hearing him say this, Li Qiutong scratched his head awkwardly. "Actually, you can't really put it that way. It's just by a twist of fate that I'm currently living with her. If you're talking about really knowing her, I don't know her very well either."

The old man smiled knowingly. "You must be the one who cooks so well."

"I suppose that would be me." Li Qiutong hadn't expected Bai Lian to evaluate him in such a way.

The old man grasped Li Qiutong's hand with his withered, branch-like fingers. "Child..."

Perhaps the fact that she had given birth to An'an alone left Mu Xingfeng with too many regrets; that desire to make amends made him uniquely obsessive about this matter.

Liang Fan was already feeling quite annoyed at the moment, and now, fueled by this oppressive atmosphere, his anger flared up. Stirring his spiritual perception without any superfluous movements, Liang Fan directly threw a backhand slap in the direction of his sensation.

Anne was just about to turn around when Mu Xingfeng pulled her right back. Before she could even speak, a bottle of Wuliangye was already held up in front of her.

However, just as Yi Han said this, Yin Luo revealed a mysterious smile, and his gaze involuntarily drifted toward the coffin in the exact center of the tomb chamber.

Neither the government soldiers nor their terrified leader knew the origin of the people at the mine; they simply mistook them for ordinary criminals.

"Hhahahaha." The Undead King Lich laughed crazily, but immediately afterward, a cunning smile appeared on his face.

Luo淼 watched the seemingly aimless fluctuation of divine sense. After tracking it for a long time without discovering anything, he could only helplessly express his decision to give up.

Chen Deling continued to sweep through the Koi Mall, wanting to see if he could find any props that could help them pass this level.

When Shen Lang saw a classmate named "Zhang Wei" introducing himself and his past experiences with him, Shen Lang felt that he truly had no impression of him whatsoever.

With a gentle smile, Xin'er slowly took the crystal soul, and then directly integrated it straight into her own body! This was originally her item, so as long as it returned to her, all the power within the crystal soul could be directly awakened.

This time, Luo Yinghuan exerted his full internal energy and managed to move the statue of Houyi in one breath. Looking at him, however, only a bit of skin on his body was scorched. In truth, the curse seal on top was not meant to harm anyone, but rather to report news.

Declining the arrangements made by the Wang family, Shu Ri went straight back to Great-grandfather's residence. Since the New Year had arrived and she had come to the capital, it was only natural to visit the military district compound of Great-grandfather, as her grandfather had instructed before her departure.

"I'll give you the time it takes to say a few words." Having said that, Xiao Qiyu motioned for Prince Ning to return to the carriage together.

Kongfang Changting merely glanced at her, said nothing more, and left her office doorway.

Ju Mang and Ru Shou were two powerful innate demonic gods who were once the right and left arms of Leize Shi, yet no one expected that within the short span of a few years, they would fall one after another.

However, the reality was not as they imagined! Although Fan Yu and the others had a nine-to-eight advantage, they were still crushed by the opponent—and it was a complete, utter crushing.

Yan Sunian plugged in his earphones, lowered his chair, lay back, and closed his eyes. Tao Qianqian wanted to chat with him, but had no opportunity.

"That's wonderful! Since Lord Aoi has already agreed, then we only need to accomplish the most crucial matter!" Eiriko breathed a sigh of relief.

Hardware was not a problem at all; both team leaders and members were overjoyed. If they encountered a dead weight, the exploration team's pressure would increase dramatically. Yu Zhe played the host, inviting his eight teammates to the nearby Vorneus Restaurant for a meal—a truly high-end and expensive restaurant. He had already prepared himself to shell out ten thousand Elna, his heart aching slightly a bit.

Wang Wei's rapid-fire questioning left Li Ke stunned. Before Li Ke could even react, Wang Wei continued speaking.

Now that catapult siege weapons were available for defending the city, Chenliu could still hold firm. However, the Jingxiang army outside the city abandoned their previous frontal assault tactics and instead split their forces to harass various parts of兖州 (Yanzhou). Cao Cao knew without much thought that if the main army continued to stubbornly hold its ground without venturing out, Yanzhou would likely be engulfed in the flames of war on all sides.
