26 Twenty-Six Q

However, upon reflecting on Chu Yuan’s flesh and blood, Shui Xianghan understood. At the same time, her heart grew even more fervent, attributing Chu Yuan’s speed of cultivation entirely to his Heavenly War God bloodline.

Furthermore, it was rumored throughout the palace that Virtuous Consort had risen to her current rank by seducing the Emperor, but Tuoba Yun believed—truly believed—that she was not such a person.

Xiao Xun felt her face grow warm at these words and said, "I feel much better now. Your Majesty, please dine with me." Her tone carried a hint of coquetry she did not even notice herself.

Wei Changfeng hurriedly stepped back, stealing a glance at the soldiers in the distance who were pretending to admire the scenery. "Shall we go inside the tent to discuss this?" He truly did not want Nina putting on a performance right here.

Qinghan and the two men leapt backward instantly, for the fierce wind carried with it wisps of black aura; if it touched them, their internal energy would likely be dissolved.

As the first ray of dawn touched the earth, Chu Yuan finally arrived at Chu Family Village, hidden at the foot of Iron Rake Mountain, carrying a massive fortune of over forty thousand battle coins.

Ye Feng had slept for a long time. When he awoke again, the sky was once again dim with dawn, though he did not know how many days had passed. His wounds were mostly healed, thanks to the resilience of a body tempered in the Heavenly Feather Phoenix Pool. It was only his spiritual energy that had yet to recover; the consumption this time had been far too great.

As a warrior’s cultivation level increases, the methods and realms for manipulating weapons change. Like Chu Yuan, currently at the Warrior realm, one can only barely channel combat power into a weapon to increase its lethality.

"Very well, you may all disperse!" With those words, Ying Hong’s figure vanished without a trace. Zhang Yang, having already witnessed the ethereal nature of the man’s movements, was not particularly surprised.

"General Wei, you still have a chance," Nina said slowly. Her voice and gaze were devoid of any flirtation, and even her hands remained still.

Gu Luo looked toward Ruan Xing, seeing him struggle as if something were stuck in his throat, and decided to break the deadlock first.

The surrounding crowd broke into applause. Tian Jinwei puffed on his cigarette with a smug expression, his demeanor reminiscent of Churchill.

The old beggar, however, wore the look of someone reuniting with an old friend, gesturing toward the pavilion and laughing.

Looking into the distance, the first things to catch her eyes were dark pupils interwoven with anxiety and concern. A mere distant gaze was enough to stir her soul, leaving her unable to look away for a long time.

A thousand years—Zi Xiang could not believe he had spoken so casually, only to now face one, or perhaps several, thousand-year-old monsters. Just the thought made his skin crawl. If they looked handsome, he might not feel sick, but if they were truly hideous, he imagined he might drown his opponents in vomit before the fight even began.

"Then... who is this... er... creature tempting Cassius?" Because the sinister voice had claimed it was not an elf, and he still did not know what it was, Lei Yi had no choice but to ask it this way.

"You actually called me ugly! I’ll fight you to the death!" The cross-dresser hated nothing more than being called ugly, and now, being told he was like filth only further enraged him.

"Five thousand coins! Will you still not agree, Brother Zhen?" Liu Fan uttered the final words, and Zhen Yao was truly panicked now, forgetting even to shake his head in protest.

However, before Gaia could finish, Lei Yi stopped him, shaking his head.

After the government forces reclaimed Black Wolf Mountain, their next step was to press eastward toward Shangmi City. Defending the city was the Arab general Alpha, who had led his one hundred thousand Blue-Clad Legion in preparation for a final decisive battle against the government troops.

Chen Yingmeng, however, vaguely felt that their topic was not a pleasant one and tried to dissuade Changsun Jiang.

Seeing that Yun Xiu had stopped speaking ill of Uncle Zou, Mie Er nodded vigorously, tears of joy streaming down her cheeks as her lips curled into a high, happy smile.

It was clear that the range of the tower’s stability was limited. Beyond the reach of the tower and the power of fire, vast areas of reality were in a state of constant collapse. These conditions had grown increasingly dire, which was why no new ring-cities had been established in the last hundred years.

Of course, rather than gazing at the sky, it was more accurate to say he was merely striking a pose, concentrating his consciousness inward to seek a path to liberate his own power.

"It is nothing, just an experimental accident." After this calm explanation, Yi Daoren pushed open the classroom door and stepped out. He discerned his direction, or rather, upon spotting Aleister’s mansion, he began to walk slowly toward it.

After Reed decided to return home, they encountered military tribunal personnel already waiting at the gate.

"Cough, cough! I can’t breathe! What are you doing? Sister Haitang, why are you pretending to be Second Aunt?" Miao Zhu asked.

Naruto stepped forward impatiently to knock on the door. After he knocked, the door opened a crack, revealing a gatekeeper samurai from the Kazama family.

"I am not insane; you are the ones who are mad! All this nonsense about brotherhood—I, the Nameless Immortal Lord, swear here and now to sever all ties with Boneless Peak!" As the Wide-Eyed Immortal Lord spoke, he swept out with his sword, which the Iron-Armed Immortal Lord dodged.

Fu Enpei felt awkward. After Fu Xuan glanced at her, she felt utterly ashamed, lowering her head and remaining silent.

After all, for this boss who suffered from chronic insomnia, sleep was truly a wonderful birthday gift.

The genetically modified soldiers did not detect his presence. Although their power armor’s detection systems provided relevant data, they subconsciously ignored it.

While terror robots could perform hacking, they could only modify electronic devices, and there was a risk they might be discovered.

"Truly, you are the one who deserves to have no descendants," Ye Lanshan said before passing Shen Hanjiang and walking away.

Lin Jin’s new album had just been released, and it had already broken into the top five of the monthly sales charts. Those ranked above her were all ultra-first-tier superstars.

The blast of the explosion had caused a laceration on his forehead, but he was lucky; Colonel Rhodes did not believe anyone in the control tower could have survived.

"Weren't you going out to eat something delicious? Why are you calling me?" Bian Qingluo asked with a smile.
