Volume One, Chapter 45: Tonight, I Will Stay

After the two of them entered a breakfast shop, they ordered two breakfasts and sat happily in the main hall to eat. This breakfast shop was rather upscale—in fact, it was more of a restaurant, serving breakfast in the morning and lunch at noon. Li Gang’s voice was gentle; as he spoke, he did not forget to politely offer toasts to the guests and exchange a few pleasantries.

She no longer cared about promotions; she paid no mind to the annual evaluations either. Since she had already been exiled, why not indulge in a life of drunken oblivion here?

Yuan Changzu had spent his youth amid conflict and strife. Even now, his sleep was light; he could only rest well with his most trusted guards stationed outside. If anyone attacked, there was no way he wouldn’t know. As long as he heard no gunshots, he could sleep soundly without worry.

Gao Qian found a brownish-red flannel robe, cut the hem and sleeves halfway with scissors, and considered the length. It should be just right for Jiajia to wear indoors.

After Lin Yiyi parted ways with Ye Shaobai, she got into a taxi and only then realized how childish her actions had been today. Yet, knowing that people from Mingyu Machinery now knew her husband was married made her very happy.

The horn of battle had sounded, so there was no room for hesitation—one must charge forward bravely. In life, everyone faces a few turning points of fate. If one doesn’t strive now, there may be no chance to fight later.

After applying the medicine, Li Guying took a blanket from her bundle and, ignoring Fu Yaxin’s protests, wrapped her up tightly for fear she might catch cold again.

Are you cold? But I’m only wearing a vest right now—I can’t very gentlemanly take off a coat to put around you, can I?

It wasn’t meant as an insult; she just felt that Su Hanhan’s lifestyle in the past had fit the online definition of a “slacker” too well.

It was an indescribable feeling—those eyes were filled with endless wickedness. Even someone like Yue Chuan, who stood at the very peak of the Saint Domain and was nearly touching the Divine, could not resist.

As the disciple of the Second Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi had to go see his teacher first and report on his mission. When he returned, Tanaka and the others noticed that his face was covered in wounds, and his clothes were tattered. Wasn’t he just meeting with Lord Second Hokage?

After Usopp shouted, everyone looked at me. At that moment, I was terribly conflicted inside.

If the propaganda from Ming continued unchecked, who’s to say these Han people in the palace wouldn’t really defect? At present, Qing’s strength was not enough to start a full-scale war. Sun Zhixie’s impeachment gave Dol a perfect chance to consolidate loyalty. Whether or not Bao Chengxian and the others had offended Dol was irrelevant.

Moreover, the ammunition expert had unlocked the sniper skill tree. This branch didn’t have many skills, but each was easy to learn and hard to master, consuming a tremendous amount of skill points. Thus, anyone wishing to excel as a sniper had to forsake other abilities and specialize deeply.

“Don’t break them!” I warned them warily, genuinely afraid these guys might roughhouse too much and end up ruining Naruto and Sasuke.

Long Wei exhaled deeply and gulped down a large mouthful of water. Without bothering to observe his surroundings, he closed his eyes to rest.

After walking a long way and seeing no one following, Jia Sidiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. In just this short time, he felt as if he’d been on a roller coaster. He glanced at the five porcelain pieces in his hands, and his expression softened. If people were fighting to buy them, they couldn’t be worthless, right?

SS-class—this was a world apart from before. That Storm Drake might well be a king-level boss; at the very least, it had to be special-class, or there wouldn’t be a double-S rating.

Hu Qingfeng was momentarily stunned, but then nodded and said he understood. I was just being cautious—today’s events had been far too strange. I couldn’t afford not to be careful.

Of the personal guard battalion, apart from those assisting Tian Yu in defending the camp, the remaining thousand men all assembled behind Dian Wei. Though many were only catching their breath, they knew they must not let outsiders look down on them.

The leader, Yang Chunzi, frowned slightly, and Nangong Wang, watching as Lu Kaishen of the Taiyi Sect stepped forward, had a complicated look flicker in his eyes.

“Haha! Do you think my Blood Burst Technique is easy to withstand? Hua Wushang, Wu Yifan—haha! You are all my blood slaves!” Nangong Wang, his face streaked with blood, looked at the two who’d been blasted away in the sky and laughed triumphantly.

After listening to the ancestor of Mount Qingcheng, the Blue Flame Golden-patterned Serpent King’s gaze flickered. It then slowly left the blue flame stone and slithered its massive body backward.

Lucy had regained her customary pride and dominance; her reputation as the leader was well earned and not just empty talk.

Under the stunned and shocked gaze of the hidden dragon Su Yuefeng, Lan Feng’s spine erupted in a dazzling golden light, like a golden dragon sword piercing the heavens.

“Life and death curse!” The heart of Prince Dragon-Serpent suddenly skipped a beat. Even though he was used to dealing with masters among masters and had nerves of steel, he felt a chill run down his spine. To witness two of the three legendary curses, the Yin-Yang and now the Life and Death curse, in one era—how could anyone else hope to survive?

But then again, how common are anomalous spirit roots? Even dual-aligned earth spirit roots are fiercely contested by all the factions.

With that, Zhen Rong really ran off in the direction Chen Dao had pointed, crying as he went. The patrolling soldiers by the roadside couldn’t help but pause to watch Zhen Rong running away, then look up at Chen Dao on the hillside, their faces full of puzzlement.
