Chapter 31

“Wonderful! Have you tried the meat Father roasted?” Doubao asked with a beaming smile, looking at the shapeshifting beast that had turned into a water dipper.

Wang Zhiyu was now Xiao Yu’s lover. Their relationship was private and would not be made public. Although she had already met his family and their relationship was no secret between them, they were still merely lovers.

Xin Kan sneered. “A hero? Since ancient times, the victors have been kings and the defeated have been outlaws. In my opinion, you don’t look much like a hero now!” With that, he burst out laughing again.

The man in blue moved, and his long sword shot forward. The man in black lightly gripped his folding fan and spun it once in his hand, blocking the attack with a series of ringing clangs. The man in blue shouted angrily and thrust his sword forward in a flurry.

On the day before the foundation-laying ceremony, Daimo had already sensed that something was wrong, but her divination had yielded no result. She could only go there in person. Her intuition had always been accurate, and it was rare for her divinations to produce no answer at all. There had to be some hidden reason behind this matter.

Gu Jian’s expression grew unusually solemn. He was not the sort of person with a one-track mind. Since the situation could not be changed, he would not quarrel furiously with Gu Ying; doing so would bring him no benefit whatsoever.

Miao Ran had not thought much of it at the time. She had always believed that even strangers would know enough to feel grateful after receiving such kindness. It was only after her parents died unexpectedly that she realized how different her grandmother’s relatives, who usually acted like perfect good Samaritans, were from her maternal grandmother’s relatives, who behaved like fighting roosters.

Xiao Yu knitted his brows. In fact, the interval had been even shorter. When the sword character was finally invoked, Ning Zhiyao had still been there, yet now she had vanished as well. This clearly defied reason.

The nights in June were sweltering. Gu Yunjin was in confinement, and the basins of ice could only be placed far away behind a curtain; they could not be moved any closer.

These experts knew the standing of the two bodyguards and had witnessed their skills. They had never expected that the pair would be defeated by a young man today, while the elder merely summed it up in two words.

Liu Jiajun had very little time in which to carry out his operation. He had entered by pretending to have a stomachache and asking to use the restroom. If he stayed inside too long, the guards outside would certainly become suspicious.

“The rest are mine!” Harry was the slowest. The two archers and the captain had already been snatched by Allen and Kelly. He swung his greatsword, instantly enveloping the last two mercenaries who had been trying to provide support.

Cheng Sheng watched the Third Prince rush out, a cold smile appearing on his face. After that, he said nothing.

Suddenly, a great wave of water descended from the sky. Wu Fan sensed that it was merely ordinary water and posed no danger, so he did not dodge and was drenched from head to toe.

If things continued like this, Zhang Zuohu would soon suffer internal injuries, but Wang Yuan would also exhaust a great deal of his strength. That was precisely the outcome everyone wanted to see.

“Yes. If they continue mining for another month, won’t their output exceed one hundred million spirit crystals? The profits would be terrifying!” a young cultivator exclaimed.

Cheng Qiuyun approached with a graceful, enchanting figure and sat down beside Wu Fan. He took the iced tea from her hand, drank a mouthful, and immediately reached out to embrace her slender waist.

I began training with Yanzi. To start with, I had never had any experience flying. In the real world, people sat inside airplanes, protected by a metal shell. As for parachuting, hang gliding, and wingsuit flying, I had never tried any of them.

“Everyone, since we have reached an agreement, let us first return to my Nangong household. Once we have all sworn our oaths together, I will give you the method for arranging the formation!” Nangong Hai said.

Xia Yenuo gently stroked Hao Xin’s belly and said with a smile, “You’ve slept for so long. It’s only natural that you’re hungry, darling. Your husband will go make you some porridge right now.” For the past two months, he had spent nearly all his time at the hospital, so Xia Yenuo had long since become familiar with the location of its kitchen.

The Southern Palace. The heart of the Han Empire. When flames soared above the Nangong residence and cries of slaughter shook the night sky, every citizen of Luoyang was stunned. The elderly seemed to see once more the turmoil surrounding Dou Wu in the Year of the Metal Pig.

It was named the Peace and Harmony Medical Hall and scheduled to open on the twenty-ninth day of the fifth month. For the three days before its opening, the common people could receive free medical treatment and medicine.

The spatial door closed and vanished at the sound of a command. A spatial barrier the color of the wall slid into place, and a sorrowful sigh came from in front of it.

Zhu Jun was instantly overwhelmed by helplessness. Could it be that he had been eavesdropping? Xia Yenuo would surely beat him to death if he found out.

After the campaign against Dong Zhuo, if Murong Chen had continued his conquests without pause, he could have defeated the various warlords one by one before they had time to assemble and launch an expedition against him. He might even have finished them off before the autumn harvest.

A halo appeared around his body. As spiritual power spilled beyond him, the halo gradually solidified into a tangible protective energy barrier, simple and natural in appearance. Ancient divine patterns flowed across it, constantly changing into different designs, making the barrier seem even older and more mysterious, as well as more solid.

An excessive critical hit was triggered. Netherstar lay sprawled on the ground in a daze, unwilling to accept until death that he could have been defeated so easily.

“Which one should I eat first? I’ve decided—I’ll eat them all at once!” the humanoid tree demon laughed arrogantly. It then opened its enormous mouth toward the crowd, and a purple-black magic formation with a coverage of nearly one hundred meters appeared above Lalabai’s head.

For instance, when facing an enemy, as long as I wished it, my enemy could be arranged into any pose I wanted. Aside from imagining it, I would not need to do anything else.

A mouthful of blood burst forth, and Guo Hailong’s face instantly turned deathly pale. His legs slowly buckled, and he knelt on the ground. Ling Chen calmly watched as Guo Hailong’s head gradually drooped. Since he had chosen to walk such a path, he should have been prepared to die. There had never been sympathy or mercy in the martial world.

“Very well. We’ll discuss it after we get out!” Shen Qiansan was tempted. Setting aside what use their bodies might have, simply in terms of understanding spatial attributes, King Haiqing certainly knew far more than he did.

“You mean that Deer Island is actually a trap? We have to make them expose the trap themselves?” Jin Zidian asked.

When Chen Feng learned that Zhao Long’s army had suffered heavy losses, he showed no sorrow. Instead, he was delighted, and the troops immediately halted and stopped advancing.

Almost everyone of suitable age wanted to participate in this pioneering project. Everyone understood that if they did not seize the coming season—the coldest time of year, when the zombies were least active—to gather more supplies and build more safe zones, then when spring came the following year, they would be forced to face those loathsome dead things, which had come back to life and were searching the whole world for flesh and blood.
