31 The Spirit Fox
"Captain! What is happening over there?" Zhou Qi asked loudly, filled with anxiety.
Knowing full well that this man was using a goading tactic, why had he blurted everything out? Could he have fallen under some sort of bewitching spell?
The personal guard acknowledged the order and turned to leave. Yu Zhilong recalled a legendary general from a previous dynasty who loved his soldiers like his own children; he would not approach the water unless all his men had drunk, and he would not eat unless everyone had been fed. The art of military governance required clear rewards and punishments, balancing severity with gentleness. If he hoped to lead his men to fight to the death in the future, he really ought to learn from such examples.
Nichols’s form blurred, transforming into a mass of black mist to escape the reach of the scepter. When his figure solidified once more, he was completely unharmed.
Mother Li was not unaware of her deliberate distancing, but she said nothing; after all, it was her own son who had wronged Weiran.
Seeing him, Xiao Yu could not help but laugh. It seemed today he would be able to collect all the debts that were due.
Comparing the two, the difference was immediately apparent. While others took no notice, Liu Zhengfeng began to pay close attention to Yu Zhilong.
"No, how can you do that? Colds are contagious; what will you do if you catch it?" Yang Yi explained.
When Tian Buqi composed his emotions and looked at Wang Erhei again, he suddenly felt that Wang Erhei was truly extraordinary.
Madam Liu reached out to his thigh and pinched it so hard that Liu Shuangen almost cried out in pain.
At this moment, Father Tang’s face turned the color of a pig’s liver; Fu Sinian’s words had finally resolved the doubts in his heart.
Murong Qingran did not speak a single word. By the time they had lunch, watching Shae'er’s joy radiating from the depths of her heart, watching her gaze filled with infinite doting, and seeing her constantly placing food on her plate while she herself ate nothing, Murong Qingran remained silent.
Qiao Mimi expressed that she had learned a lesson. She then watched the aunt cut up the coagulated chicken blood that had been salted, rinse it in water, add some ginger and garlic, and boil it for a while before taking it off the heat.
"You!..." Wan Qingqing’s smile froze. She was more easily provoked than Wan Caiying: "Hmph! It was supposed to be me who married into the Liu family. I haven't even married yet, why should it be your turn?" She swung her hand, preparing to slap Wan Ying, but Wan Ying leaned back and dodged it skillfully.
After walking over another half-mountain, they finally arrived at Master Liu’s residence! It was not much different from the brothel courtyard at the front gate, save for the addition of more flowers and plants, and the trees grew more lushly. What surprised Wan Ying most was that there were actually fields on the far left of the courtyard! Like a touch of red amidst a sea of green, it looked very heartwarming.
Of course, sometimes he would travel the world with Yuna, as if he left his footprints everywhere he went.
He was contemplating whether to head to the Xuanyuan barracks to see her, to tell her the words he had buried deep in his heart.
After Leng Feng regained his freedom, he rushed over without a moment’s delay. He did not even stop at the Li residence, heading straight to Kaoshan Village instead.
Huan Chun saw Nanny Li out, and upon returning, felt the atmosphere in the palace was so heavy it could crush a person. "Your Highness, Nanny Li has been seen out," Huan Chun said, weighing her words to Concubine De.
Chen Fei first lifted his knee and struck upward with force, then whipped his arm down, followed by a series of stomps, as if he were trampling a golden staff beneath his feet.
Mo Lianyi was facing the door. She quietly looked up at the person outside. A triumphant smile curled the corners of her lips.
"That old codger is of no great use. Although he possesses the strength of the peak Desolate Ancient Realm, he cannot influence my master’s grand plan once he leaves! My master has been plotting for fifty years; are you few really capable of ruining it?" Wu Zijun said, holding his head high.
Deep in emotion, Xiangxiang could not help but choke up: "If you tell me you don’t want me anymore, I will leave now. I won't pester you." Despite saying this, she gripped Qi Hui’s hand tightly.
Ye Xiangchen narrowed his eyes slightly. What exactly were the Three Great True Realms? It seemed Hu Zhen would not tell him.
Recalling everything that had happened today, Shen Yan realized she had formed quite an impression of Pang Shifeng. Compared to her cousin who wandered about on his own, it was Pang Shifeng who had been keeping an eye on her. Feeling she should not intrude between the Prince and Xiangxiang, Shen Yan tried to avoid being with the couple, and Pang Shifeng would talk to her from time to time.
But Niansheng did not miss the flash of hatred in her eyes when she glanced at her. There was no need to ask; this was undoubtedly the woman of the Guwalgiya clan.
"Yes." The black-clad, silver-cloud-patterned guards answered in unison. Then, the rope around her waist was untied, and Bao Baibing was hoisted onto someone’s back. Others approached to snatch Duan Shiyi from her back as well.
Long live the Empress, ten thousand years to the Emperor... So the person in the great hall was the Son of Heaven?
"Issues regarding return time, money, medical treatment, and safety. There must be some limitations!" Monkey said.
Gu Han had thought the matter would end there, but he did not expect Liu Ming to intercept Liu Hao from the Dali Temple while the Emperor was heading north to the Northern Kingdom. The plan was very detailed, and the manpower was well-prepared; it was clear that Liu Ming had been plotting this for a long time.
"Sixth Girl, you’re a real pal!" Ding Pan’an, in his excitement, slapped Qing Bao on the back of the head. Perhaps feeling a bit nostalgic for the past, he reached out and tugged at Qing Bao’s hair again.
The codename "Chicken" would be used starting today. A new day, a new beginning; it was a new start for our team as well.
It was like playing the lute to a cow. Su Mo took a deep breath: "Why?" If zombies truly possessed emotions, it was a matter far more alarming than the apocalypse itself.
Seeing him complain endlessly about Xia Yu, even though Qing Bao did not care for her, he still felt compelled to say a few words in her defense.
I did not expect this guy, who usually only knew how to sleep, to worry about me. I couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.
Seeing Xiao Xun’s face suddenly turn pale, Tuoba Shao immediately bent over to support her, asking nervously: "Xun'er, what’s wrong? Has the wound worsened? I will call the imperial physician for you." Just as he was about to call for the physician.
Among the assassins, some who were initially unaware of their sensory strengths displayed unique aspects after completing those four months of training. This master was someone who excelled in scent tracking.
