Chapter 60

Chu Xiao simply watched Cao Ge's aloof back, tinged with a hint of solitude. Was this reluctance to part? This thought instantly flashed through his mind.

"What on earth is going on today?" Su Zhengping finally asked Mao Xiumei, who was over there playing dead.

Both Consort Hua's and Consort Duan's maternal families had earned military merits, yet the emperor went to Consort Duan's palace first. Did this mean the emperor was going to start favoring Consort Duan?

According to his memory, many villagers still dared not eat mushrooms. He had heard that a few years ago, someone ate poisonous mushrooms and ended up in the hospital, barely escaping death, so no one dared to go up the mountain to forage for these things anymore.

"It's nothing. I just want to tell you that you don't need to be so restrained. I consider you a friend, not just Ah Ge's assistant," Li Jing'er said frankly, then smiled and turned her gaze back to the side, looking out the window.

How did I know? As a history enthusiast, these matters were practically as clear as day to me.

Fusu naturally understood what their cry meant, and he nodded hastily, humbly helping General Wang Ben to his feet.

Seated in her chair, Madam Duan could only maintain a backward-tilted posture. She cupped her belly with both hands, and when she laughed, the flesh on her chin piled up into three folds, making her voice sound even coarser than before.

After a thorough discussion among everyone, it was finally unanimously decided that Empire and Xinghui would cancel the New Year holiday, return to work ahead of schedule, and resume all company operations. Employees returning to work during the New Year period would be granted triple wages as a benefit.

At a certain moment, many figures were seen stepping through the void into the Haotian Hall. The foremost among them was dressed in white, possessing an elegant demeanor with long black hair fluttering in the wind, exuding an extraordinary aura in every gesture and movement.

That expanse of ruins was located right in the middle of a swampy wilderness. The moment she arrived, three unfamiliar gazes immediately converged upon her, carrying a scrutinizing quality. Wangyue frowned slightly, clearly not expecting anyone else to be in such a place.

For a moment, the entire West was stunned by Xu Duan's extravagant, tycoon-like promotional campaign. Although they did not know that Xu Duan actually hadn't paid a dime for the promotion, they were still dumbfounded because this approach challenged the limits of imagination.

Outside the arena, among the shattered debris, Dugu Yu crawled out in a pathetic state with a weak aura. "Bastard, just who the hell are you?"

"Understood, Third Young Master." Ah Seven drove on with his usual poker face, heading toward a designated destination.

Li Yuanba deflected most of the silver needles, but one still slipped past. That hair-thin needle bypassed Li Yuanba's perception and struck Li Dongsheng with pinpoint accuracy.

This Xu Zihao was simply too formidable. Even if Jenny realized tomorrow that she had been hoodwinked, she would still have to sign this contract, and she would have to do so with a smiling face. The bait Jenny had swallowed was a personal matter of her own, and no matter what, she never dared to use it as leverage to renege on the deal.

Making muffled, indistinct sounds, they dragged their feet with a slow gait. Their clothes were already tattered, and their exposed skin was horribly ulcerated. Not a single patch of skin on their faces was intact, and disgusting, poisonous fluid oozed from them.

Wangyue was instantly startled, as skeletal arms began extending from the ground beneath her feet. In the blink of an eye, these bony arms were flailing in mid-air, a sight that made one's scalp tingle. Even with Wangyue's formidable composure, she was taken aback.

In gaming, lifestyle players rarely get the privilege of 'making it to television' unless they spend a hefty sum to purchase a server-wide broadcast.

"However, this is my own destiny. I want to attain my destiny through my own strength rather than relying on external forces. Two millennia of time is already enough!" Huoxinchen said spiritedly, looking at Qingwu with boundless heroism.

After this enlightenment by Yan Liben, Zhao Yunze no longer harbored resentment over Yuchi Baolin's arrangements and cheerfully assisted Yan Liben in packing up the camp.

As long as Xie Yu no longer provoked her like in her past life, they would mind their own business and never cross paths... She just hadn't expected that through a twist of fate, several pieces of jewelry would fall into Old Madam Xie's hands, and she herself had almost been mistaken by Old Madam Xie as extravagant and profligate.

Besides, even if he were upholding justice by eradicating the strong to aid the weak, the countless Buddhas of the Western Paradise surely wouldn't allow him to wreak havoc on the Heavenly Court over and over again.

Yet the facts lay right before them: the Underworld Mansion had withdrawn, those oppressive armies had departed, and He Wangfu had received the retreat notice from Hexin, though he remained baffled as to why they had simply left.

The cafeteria at Bailin High School was not particularly expensive. Generally, a normal meal consisting of two meat dishes and one vegetable dish cost between three yuan and three yuan and twenty fen.

He decisively rushed in and quickly subdued two of them. No matter what, he had no wish to see these young people, who were likely merely being used, slaughtering one another.

Of course, Qian Wanqing was merely asking out of curiosity. In his view, he would rather believe that the pale-faced man still possessed a sliver of spiritual energy, seeing that such Spirit-Gathering Talismans were exceedingly rare.

As for Xiahou Dun over there, he was practically dumbfounded. Whether Zhao Zilong was truly from Changshan, he did not know, but Zhao Yun's reputation was well known to him, seeing as Zhao Yun had previously served under Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei.

The enemy battalion commander naturally spotted the flying dragon. As an empire with extensive experience in utilizing ground-going wyverns, how could they possibly lack flying dragons? Their drills naturally included tactics on how to counter a flying dragon surprise attack, but unfortunately, that did not include the archer battalion currently engaged in battle with the flying dragon.

Over time, this guardian family continued to dwell generation after generation directly above the ancient city of the Red Dragon.

Hearing the words of King Elrond, everyone present could not help but be startled, especially Boromir standing nearby.

Ignoring her and seemingly deaf to her words, Yang Que put away the blazing sun, bent down to squeeze through the hole in the wall, picked up the rock that had fallen from the wall, and plugged the opening once more.

As soon as his voice fell, the two of them stood before the defense cabin responsible for opening and closing the protective shield.

This performance attracted widespread attention on a global scale, with viewership ratings soaring steadily, almost rivaling Michael's legendary final concert.

When did Haozi, whose nature was always to speak his mind without reservation, become so hesitant and tongue-tied?

However, the footsteps merely passed by; the soldiers did not linger and instead departed, as if they were simply walking past.

Yet he had never considered what he should call Ye Yunzhou in the future if Ye Yunzhou truly ended up falling for his junior sister.
