Suppressing the North and Displaying Might, Chapter 157: Assassination

Guan Yu smiled faintly, then added, "If Brother Li doesn't mind me saying so, Zhen Mi and I have already consummated our marriage. Moreover, some time ago, she became pregnant with my child."

Li Qiutong certainly hadn't anticipated this. Taken aback, he exclaimed, "So soon, General Guan? Why didn't you mention it earlier? If you had told us sooner, we could have included a wedding ceremony for you."

Guan Yu politely declined, saying, "Let's forgo the wedding. We aren't young anymore, and such formalities aren't quite suitable for us. It is quite enough for the two of us to simply accompany each other for the rest of our lives."

Seeing that Guan Yu's mind was made up, Li Qiutong didn't press the matter further. However, upon hearing the news, Qin Shouyu walked over to Zhen Mi and asked, "How long has it been? You didn't even..."

A warrior of the Golden Spear Camp raised his fire-tipped golden spear. With a flash of golden light, he struck the elderly man right on his chest armor. That fragile and worn armor instantly shattered into a hole as the spear pierced straight through and struck the old man's chest.

Actually, this was somewhat similar to the case of the orange previously. Back then, the Immortal Venerable had bestowed upon the orange a spiritual energy empowerment technique, causing it to leap directly from the Qi Refining realm to the Foundation Establishment realm. Consequently, the impurities that would normally have been expelled from the body little by little were all purged at once.

Deza frowned and pondered for a long time before concluding, "The only explanation is the issue of psychokinetic energy, which science does not yet understand." Some renowned scientists admitted that many things currently defy explanation through contemporary science.

Having said that, he walked toward the central military tent, while Wei Ziyang remained outside waiting for news from Guo Jiang.

Perhaps this was simply a common quirk among fanatical cat lovers? Wuren had briefly checked Wu Xiaotong's system interface, and the tasks assigned there were quite reasonable—at least they weren't like the missions in Wuren's own system, which always had such bizarre and bewildering angles.

Didn't this guy claim to pursue fairness, justice, and transparency? Why was he chatting and laughing so cheerfully with Wang Mengmeng's father? Where had his original intention gone?

He had originally intended to seek refuge within the Long's Sorrow Gang and slip away once he was safe, but now he found himself caught in a dilemma, completely unsure of what to do.

The reason Raymond grew suspicious was that he and Bis had gone back to rescue people. After clearing away the heavy debris, they found the temporary dormitories where the off-duty employees rested, only to discover that none of these corpses showed any sign of trying to flee. Next to the dormitory was an ice maker, and some cups still contained lingering ice cubes. Raymond had casually scooped up a bag of ice and brought it back.

Thinking of his neighbor Royce far away in France, Wang Mengmeng hurriedly searched for his number and placed a call.

Without delving deeply into whether the blind could regain their sight or if Black people could turn green, they simply focused on utterly annihilating six sets of scallion pancakes.

"Ten thousand... borrow a bit more! Ten thousand isn't nearly enough to reflect all these years of our drinking camaraderie!" Li Huanfei knew he could borrow more; he was simply worried that Li Huanfei would use the money to pay off usurious loans and never return it.

Eliona let out a stale breath. She was crystal clear on the intentions of these nominal high-ranking officials because Chu Nan had just explained it to her a moment ago. In other words, reality was unfolding precisely according to Chu Nan's calculations, and his reason for coming was directly tied to why they had appeared in Oogwarts during the non-council session.

The eyes of the three attackers narrowed slightly as they stared in startled surprise at the lion that had suddenly burst out.

"I won't say. Why should I tell you about my personal affairs?" Sister Yi remarked as she stubbed out her cigarette and stood up to put on her clothes.

"I'm serious. I feel that being with you puts me under so much pressure," Yu Hanxiang replied instantly via text message.

Neither Hadele nor Oreck expected Booker to fly into such a rage. They hurried non-stop to look for Jixie, searching for a full day without finding a trace.

"Yes," the Grey Wolf acknowledged. After a brief moment of thought, he added, "Master, that Murong Yixuan has also come, arriving along with Elder Feng and the others." At these words, he saw the master halt his steps and turn back.

"Why?" Airinela asked. Her "why" was extremely broad—it could be interpreted as asking why Delia betrayed them, or why Vina acted the way she did. Yet it seemed she had never once looked back to realize that Vina had always been standing right behind her.
