Chapter 64

"What are you looking at? Since you don't have your Cosmos Bracelet in hand right now, I'm simply lending you Senior Sister's Purple Flame Sword to use!" Ye Qiu'er said with an angry huff.

By now, deep down in Qin Yibai's mind, the underground city had long been regarded as his own private property. How could he possibly allow this old man to expose his back garden to the public?

"Even so, bloodshed is not permitted within the city," the leader said, his teeth clattering sharply together. Even as he spoke, his words lacked conviction. Could they really wait until after Ye Qingcheng was murdered before declaring that murder was forbidden in the city? Conversely, the same logic applied.

In Qin Yibai's eyes, this fierce beast was indeed strikingly similar to an elephant on Earth, except that its size was simply too colossal to even imagine.

Hearing this, the drunkard burst into hearty laughter that echoed continuously for a long time. Stirred by his bold spirit, Zhang Ruyun felt a surge of restless heat and joined in, laughing heartily as well.

Suddenly, a strange, distant chant resonated throughout the misty space, carrying an ancient desolation and a trace of faint joy.

"Then what are you still worrying about?" Ye Chang'an asked earnestly, her eyes sparkling brightly like the vast stars in the night sky, capable of encompassing all things.

"Is this what you call your trump card and secret weapon?" Derision continued to linger in Ye Feng's eyes.

Yet Mu Youchen felt an increasing ache in his heart for her. Every few words they exchanged would result in a quarrel with the eccentric divine doctor, causing his resentment toward the doctor to grow with each passing day.

The supplies at Army Commander Sun's end simply could not keep up. The Forty-First Army was already lacking in both clothing and ammunition; when they set out from Jincheng, their personnel were under-strength, not to mention their firearms. Half of the established rosters for the three regiments of the artillery brigade were missing, and the artillery they used consisted of clumsy, outdated German guns.

As the saying goes, troops and horses go before food and forage. What a war tests is not merely the combat effectiveness of the frontline soldiers, but also the transportation capacity for rations and equipment, as well as logistical organization. Therefore, in Guo Bin's estimation, the stockpiling of strategic resources like cheese, which could greatly alleviate logistical pressures, was of paramount importance during wartime.

"Audacious!" Seeing Ujiie Nagamasa act with such insolence, Sassa Narimasa was the first to sternly rebuke him, and many other samurai around who harbored grievances against Ujiie chimed in to echo his sentiment.

"Or could it be that some other faction is trying to frame the Hojo clan? Attacking Ise Grand Shrine, leaving behind operatives from the Fuma ninja clan, and then kidnapping a shrine priestess connected to the Hojo clan?" Sawaki Yoshiyuki also offered a hypothesis.

This trade route was the one Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang customarily used to transport goods to the imperial capital of Luoyang. The earlier road conditions and intelligence regarding various nomadic tribes had already been compiled into volumes and presented to Guo Bin. Consequently, throughout this journey, even though they were beyond the northern frontier, it was exceptionally safe and smooth.

"It is truly, intensely cold! The Extreme North of the Spirit Realm is no joke!" Qian Xiao nodded, saying with absolute certainty.

Her pampered and delicate stomach had been bullied to the point where it could only hold steamed buns now—wasn't she being bullied?

Fortunately, however, the Ice of Extreme Cold appeared in time, restricting the outward surge of the two individuals' energy and suppressing it within their bodies. He was extremely grateful for the Ice of Extreme Cold; otherwise, there truly would have been no way to deal with these two fellows.

"I used to think the Black-Robed General was terrifying enough, but now that I see you, I suddenly realize he's actually somewhat handsome. At least, he has more meat on him than you do." Seeing the skull beneath the opponent's black robe, he shuddered with cold and could not help blurting out.

The Gu family was not in want of a great scholar. Even if they learned of Gu Changli's status in the biological realm, they would not stoop so low as to curry favor with him.

Only then did she remember that she seemed to have been giving him the silent treatment yesterday, and all because of some rather embarrassing matter. Ah, this awkward adolescence.

As for the military exercise, she was even more confident because Gao Jianmei had managed to acquire the map for it.

In early June, that pilot was posthumously awarded the honorary title of "Guardian of the Sea and Air" and approved as a revolutionary martyr.

It was the voice of Elder Ziyang transmitting his voice directly into their minds. Although Jiang Wanhuan's heart was filled with anxiety over Lu Chengfeng's safety, he had no choice but to go all out in battle at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiuhan glanced at Shui Xingyu, frowned, a flash of suspicion crossing his eyes, but ultimately said nothing.

After the baby had fed to its heart's content, Jing Luo casually wiped away with a tissue and was about to button up the shirt again when she saw the man in front of her suddenly lean down, take the soft nub into his mouth, and begin to gently suckle.

Lu Chengfeng did not take the brocade box; he merely nodded and, accompanied by Meng Feichen, rushed toward Lingkong Island under the cover of night.

As for Yang Jinli, she was studying foreign languages with a desperate fervor—if not for Xie Feixin, who else could it possibly be for?

The two of them exchanged glances, their hearts sinking by half. If they were to submit to this person's command in the future, peaceful days would likely be a thing of the past. Although they knew it wouldn't be difficult for this fellow to enter Mount Shushan, why on earth did he have to end up right here in the back mountains?

Actually, it was unclear what Jun Jue had in mind when drawing the wooden chair, but she had made the horizontal span somewhat wide, resembling the flush mechanism of a toilet bowl.

"My eyes aren't blind yet. Rest assured, the trap has been set, and now I'm just waiting for this turtle to walk right into the jar." Jing Luo shifted into a more comfortable position.

The hallucinated interface of the arena appeared before her eyes. What kind of monster would be good to challenge this time?

"Naturally it is Wuji from Pingling, along with those two advanced alchemists from Fuxia." Yuan Lie curled his lips, appearing utterly indifferent to victory or defeat, and spoke of these matters without the slightest care.

Lassadice kept speaking with fierce determination, but the more he talked like this, the more Xing Tianyu felt that this fellow seemed utterly lacking in confidence.

"Bai Yu, they're gone!" Seeing that Qiongqi had vanished, Yu Weiyan felt a twinge of anxiety in her heart.

This should be the second batch of backup personnel rushing toward the Forest of Death. Sarutobi casually waved his hand toward Aikawa Takeshi.

To Liu Yu's surprise, Li Ke did not go outside; instead, she stood right by the doorway, looking at him with a smiling expression.

"It's just a bit troublesome, a few months' time. Take this opportunity to clear your mind. Young man, I've worked in the Anbu for over a decade, and I know that kind of oppressive, suffocating feeling." Aikawa Takeshi sat in his chair, looking elsewhere as he spoke the words truly on his mind.

Shen Yaonian stood with his hands clasped behind his back atop the platform, the rainwater on his body already dried away. Such rapid drying speed left Yu Weiyan utterly astonished.

Making such a desperate gamble, she did not know whether what she was doing was right or wrong. If it were her former self, she would certainly never have pushed herself this hard for someone she had only met twice.

This was not a time when he should have been dazed; yet, in the span of that momentary distraction, the vehicle suddenly lost its balance. Xing Tianyu looked up and silently cursed his bad luck—the car had actually veered off the winding mountain road and was plunging down the slope.
