Volume One, Chapter 79: Retaliation Unfolds

"It's just a game, don't take it seriously. I'm tired, let's sleep..." Seeing Bian Xunzhou's stern expression, his dark eyes fixed intently upon her as if he might pounce at any moment, Wen Xuyu hurriedly tried to deflect, turning aside and pulling the quilt over herself, ready to lie down.

The soldiers of the Strange Blade Battalion, dispatched by the system as divine troops, possess the ability to slowly heal from injuries; if killed in action, the system can quietly replenish their ranks.

Mi Zhu personally delivered the message, which was undoubtedly Liu Bei's best option. Yet, how could he break through the layers of checkpoints, and cross the Yangtze River?

As for the Turtle God Technique, he was but a step away from the middle stage, yet that threshold seemed impossibly distant; until now, he had not even touched upon the bottleneck.

"You court death," the gaunt elder gritted his teeth. Even Chu Feng treated him with respect—over the years, who dared speak to him in such a manner? Yet just then a bolt of lightning struck the old man, swift as thunder, leaving no time to react.

The previous question had been answered correctly by sheer luck, but to rely on luck again for this one was uncertain; whoever made a mistake would be punished by copying the question.

Unfolding the quilt, Sike Chi saw a damp patch before him, immediately covering the cup again and pinching the bridge of his nose.

Both appeared refined, yet their appetites were enormous—they actually finished all the food they ordered, astonishing the staff.

Thus, faced with such a story, many chose to explore and search. If not a thousand, then at least eight hundred.

Leng Sa pushed Sike Chi toward the window. Sike Chi glanced at the distance below and couldn't help swallowing nervously.

"So that's how it is—wonderful." Chen Shishi was suddenly enlightened, a smile blossoming on his face; this was the martial path he had long dreamed of.

Before the white horse could come to a halt, Ouyang Zhen leapt from its back, tugging at the reins. Finding it inconvenient, he skipped the necessary formalities.

Everyone faltered for a moment upon seeing Song Ximing's figure. None had expected him to appear in the Gu household, for since Guan Chenji arrived, Song Ximing had not set foot there for a long time.

He was not without people, nor without capable hands; but to the XG underworld, he was absolutely an outsider, even an invader. Should he act aggressively, matters would become both grave and complicated.

Nameless Moon had never imagined she would one day suffer such humiliation.

Meanwhile, Gao Jun and Fan Ying were not as hurried as their words suggested. Leaving the Jiaoxian County office, they strolled along the main street, soaked in the hot baths of the Blue Beauty Inn, dined in a shop by the street, and only then returned to the post house.

Nu Shang's whole body tensed; his eyes darted up and down, following the blue ocean before him, his expression anxious. In his heart, Nu Shang raised his evaluation of the blue ocean even higher.

Ling Su was deeply shocked as she looked at Cold Moon. Undeniably, though she had grown up, this was the first time she'd heard such a notion! Like and love—they could not be equated.

Yang Zaixing never imagined things would turn out this way. Now, only he and his younger brother remained; if he pledged himself to Big Bull, how could he face Yue Fei?

"This is Mr. Shilase Kishu. How to describe him—perhaps an overly enthusiastic good-natured man." Xiao Gucheng shrugged as he spoke.

Wang Heng said irritably, "Brother, stop counting one, two, three! First, explain this matter clearly." Li Mi didn't know why Wang Heng called the county constable brother. Wang Heng explained, "He's my cousin," and Li Mi understood.

Conveniently, his trusted aide crouched to speak with Lai Zi Jiu, who now had his face splashed with white spirits by Lai Zi Jiu.

The erudite scholar Tong Tian rolled his blue eyes a few times, "Enough, enough, don't flatter me! However I disguise myself, wherever I go, you always catch me without fail!" As he spoke, he removed his bushy brows, stripped off the iron wire beard, slapped his temples, revealing two jade fragments in his eyes, and reached up to remove the yellow wax cap from his head.
