158 Afterword: A Body in a Dream

However, when she followed a netizen's recommendation and entered Yi Wang's live broadcast room, she found that the young man was still the same young man.

...In the morning, the places passed by the army featured quite a few volcanic rock mountains. But by afternoon, there were no more rocks or mountains anywhere nearby; the surrounding landscape stretched out endlessly, covered entirely in withered grass.

On the mottled lime walls, there were some drawings made with black charcoal. Passing by those, Du Erlang knew he was not far from that shop.

To call it ancient, this micro-carving technique was less than fifty years old. To call it modern, the iron-smelting and silver-hook forging methods were truly clumsy and lagged far behind the times.

Hearing their words, Old Man Zhang slowly walked out, casting an arrogant and defiant gaze across all of them, including the Heavenly Absolute Divine Doctor.

He remembered the first time he came across that term, he had laughed quite unkindly. After being reprimanded by the white-haired Grand Tutor, he remained unconvincing and quoted extensively from ancient texts to present what were actually quite sensible arguments, infuriating the Grand Tutor to the point of almost fainting.

Zhang Fu first bowed to the emperor, and upon receiving the gracious permission to "rise," he clasped his fists and bowed to Xu Huizu. Xu Huizu returned the bow with a genial expression.

He checked the progress of the sweet potato planting mission, which displayed: within one month, an actual area of 1,196,856 mu of sweet potato seedlings was planted, calculated on the basis of 120 mu units. The mission to plant one million mu of sweet potatoes had been successfully overfulfilled, earning the corresponding points and unlocking items.

When Lü Bu rendezvoused with Fu Yong, the latter was dealing with the bodies of the fallen soldiers. There was no other choice; they had to bury them on the spot for now, planning to return later to build tombstones for them, mourn them, and record their meritorious deeds.

Pondering over the descriptions he had come across, Caitlyn was a classic wealthy and beautiful high-society girl, and her father seemed to be the mayor of Piltover? Yet this young woman possessed remarkable resilience, having reportedly become an excellent police officer entirely through her own efforts.

Of course, he was not merely searching for treasures; his purpose was simple. He wanted to know whether the ruins they were currently in were truly the ruins of the ancient gods.

Listening to Lin Yurong's words, I genuinely wanted to laugh. Perhaps I had experienced too much; these dialogues that sounded straight out of a movie script filled me with disdain.

"What the hell else do you have to say! Are you or are you not the president of Hengyuan Stone Industry!" Dian Hongwei shouted in towering rage, stepping forward in a flash to grab Li Zhi by the collar, gritting his teeth in fury.

Liang Yuwen had clearly overdone his teasing, causing Dong Qianshan to become genuinely angry. Dong Qianshan's meaning was also quite obvious: if he continued teasing her, she would go and complain to Zhou Yuzhu later.

"That's amazing..." Irelia couldn't help but exclaim. By this time, the inner palace below looked no bigger than an ant, and they had only ascended to a height of four or five hundred meters, yet the temperature had already dropped by four or five degrees.

Even though she knew all of this might have been deliberately orchestrated by Su Minghua and the others, Gu Xiaoran still felt deeply unsettled in her heart.

Lu Wen's hands were exceptionally well-cared-for, broad and warm. Resting on the back of her hand, the warmth transmitted straight into her heart, making Su Xiaoqing feel somewhat moved.

If Uncle Zhou had not changed his mind at the last minute and had instead proceeded with the original plan to launch a night raid and capture the city, whether he could have succeeded smoothly was perhaps a matter of debate.

He believed that the Galo Demon King must have been severely wounded by him, but he could not guess what other capabilities the Nine Nether Dark Sea in the Galo Demon King's possession still held. Should these experts of the Universe Continent fall victim to the enemy's schemes, the situation might undergo a startling reversal.

Almost simultaneously, on the opposite side of Ye Chen, another large gate opened, and Wang Kai's figure appeared before everyone's eyes. Those who had just been holding an optimistic attitude toward Ye Chen furrowed their brows, heavy expressions clouding their faces.

Immediately, one could see that the giant boulder had taken a hit as heavy as a gunshot, spraying up a cloud of stone powder.

In Qinchuan Aiai's pitiful, endearing eyes, there was only the figure of the person belonging to that calm, cold voice—the one who had supposedly stepped in to get her out of trouble.

With that, Qinchuan Shingshi turned his head to wink at his wife beside him, speaking in a very righteous and justified tone.

"I'm done with my work, and I was just about to whip up a few dishes for ourselves!" Zhou Dapeng, who was busy scrubbing the wok, turned his head and said.

"Report, Company Commander, let's just give it a try!" To be honest, I was a bit excited. Although I had fired guns before, this was my first time driving an armored vehicle.

Wearing a straight face, she straightened her slightly slouched posture a bit, and spoke to Qinchuan Shingshi with a somewhat impatient tone.

An Zhiyu's expression turned exceptionally ugly, but suddenly, as if she had thought of something, the corners of her lips curved into a smile, carrying a somewhat malicious intent.

With a startled cry, the passersby—who were long used to people like Sun Hao and simply dared not interfere—had mostly been indifferent and continued walking. But at this piercing cry, they stopped in their tracks one after another, looking in astonishment at Sun Hao lying on the ground.

Qinchuan Shingshi glanced with extreme disgust at Hikiya Hachiman, who lacked any standing posture and exuded a thoroughly foolish, delinquent aura, and retorted unceremoniously.

Sure enough, when the camera panned to Eddie Peng, he had already settled into a horse stance, leaning his upper body back and using his waist strength to control the fishing rod, which was under immense pressure.

Waves of heat surged up from the surface of the water, and a supremely miraculous pagoda gradually emerged from the depths of the water. It was a city spanning a radius of more than eighty miles, shimmering entirely in gold that gleamed dazzlingly under the sunlight.

"What was the mother demon spider you mentioned like? What features did it have?" Zhou Lin interrogated Cheng Hui.

Although his rank was much higher than Zhou Lin's here—Zhou Lin merely played the role of a temporary worker—when it came to combat capability, Captain Zhang was still more than willing to be the one who hid in the background.

"Yes! Battalion Commander, please rest assured. Guests are to be treated with hospitality. We will definitely treat the soldiers and cadres of the Second Company as our honored guests." So said the cadres of the other companies. Naturally, in front of Gao Sheng, they guaranteed that they would not "mistreat" the soldiers and cadres of the Second Company.

Wu Zheng was undoubtedly seeing this object for the very first time, but the unique engravings on the jade tablet were extremely familiar to him, as if he had seen a similar description somewhere before. After a brief moment of thought, he recalled that his mentor, Qiong Mingzi, had repeatedly mentioned such items in the secret arts manuals left behind to him.

These words were clearly meant for Yun Qing to hear, but Chang Lie did not care in the least. Since he had revealed a portion of his true form, he had no fear of being recognized. Moreover, dealing with a human cultivator at the early stage of the Spirit Sovereign realm—had it not been for Yun Qing's brilliant movement techniques—he truly would not have deigned to use his Golden Flame Leopard true form combat skill.
