Chapter 54: The Beautiful Peacock

Such a thought flashed through Liu Moyan's mind, but he did not let it sway him, sticking firmly to his original decision instead.

"By the way, the slimming milk tea recipe at Qingling Milk Tea Shop was all invented by you, right? Is it really effective?" Yi Yan was evidently an admirer of the slimming milk tea as well.

"How is it? Did you find him?" Bai Xiaoju had just placed a plate of egg fried rice on a table when she saw Zhao Guodong return, and hurried over to ask.

However, reality is always exceptionally cruel. The people standing here numbered in the thousands, yet there were only ten seats available. To step onto one of those ten seats, one needed formidable strength; otherwise, standing firm would likely prove exceedingly difficult.

After comforting Gohan, Goku began to face Raditz squarely. He was now putting in all his effort and was determined to win.

None of this mattered, however. Ye Feng had never intended to let these young and pretty maidens shoulder the heavy burdens.

It was March once again. The weather grew warm unawares. Wisps of tender green gradually spread across Suzhou, lending a touch of vitality even to this desolate city in the vast desert.

"At most a few tens of thousands, all living at the very bottom, without any influence and completely at the mercy of bullies!" Yi Siyuan sighed.

"Had Your Highness not reminded us, we would never have thought to have the Prince go outdoors for physical activity more often," Xin Luo said, nodding approvingly.

"Audacious! You damned spy, how dare you insult this Prince." Xuanyuan Wei angrily kicked her, knocking her flat to the ground.

Ladders were set up against the side of the rammed-earth wall, and people climbed up while holding rolls of plastic film. They placed the rolls atop the wall, and at a command from Vesuvius, everyone pressed down on one edge of the film with one hand while releasing the other. The film rolls then unrolled across the wooden framework that had already been constructed.

There were guards at the side door as well, though far fewer than at the main gate, and upon seeing the token of the Crown Prince's Palace, they let them through immediately.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was utterly astonished. One must know that the martial arts prowess of Ye Xingge was so formidable that, leaving aside the interior of the Jingyu Sect, even looking across the entire martial arts world, no one dared to contend with him. Yet now Wang Zangxuan had brazenly issued a challenge, leaving one to wonder whence he derived such confidence.

Vesuvius felt a jolt of alarm in his heart. A letter from Northern Roman Emperor Glycerius to himself? Could it be that, with war about to break out, he did not view his chances favorably and intended to take Aria back?

In history, there was no shortage of divine priests single-handedly persuading enemies to surrender; some of these priests reasoned with people, while others used physical force.

Especially since Xuanyang Liu had come this time full of hope, only for his hopes to be utterly dashed in the end, and on top of that, he had been mercilessly mocked—how could he possibly endure such treatment?

Liu Changjiang had not yet figured out a solution regarding the Qin family's request to regroup when his ankle was injured as well.

This point, K3+000, was located three kilometers from the starting point towards the destination, roughly one kilometer away from the Liu family courtyard where Qin Hongwei and the others rented their lodgings.

As she spoke, Tang Susu felt a sourness in her nose, and two lines of clear tears streamed down her cheeks, evidently recalling some heartbreaking matter.

Only then did Li Feng refrain from fleeing when he discovered the boatman's bizarre nature; instead, he passed through that golden ocean and arrived here.

In truth, even if Luo Qingquan had not forced Shanghai Super to leave during the EX period, Shanghai Super would eventually have chosen to retire on his own accord; Luo Qingquan merely accelerated Shanghai Super's retirement by a year or two.

Seeing the grenade flying out from behind the carriage, Shiba behind Manting immediately shouted, "Release the arrows, suppress them for me!" Shiba knew that as long as Manting broke through behind the carriage, such terrifying objects would become useless.

He was not particularly handsome, but his brows radiated a strong heroic aura, and his tightly set jaw gave the impression that he was not someone to be trifled with—which proved to be entirely true.

"Humph, the few of you are hardly qualified." The man in black forced several people back with a single move. Clearly not wanting anyone to recognize his voice, he deliberately lowered it. Then, smoothly drawing a pistol from his waist, he aimed directly at Xia Yuhe, who was hiding behind them, and pulled the trigger.

"Don't fall for the trick, stay calm," Gao Jiancheng said in Zhao Guodong's ear. "He's just trying to throw you off balance." Although Gao Jiancheng managed to calm him down, Zhao Guodong continued to glare fiercely at Kimio Takagi, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

They could not afford to admit defeat and could only show weakness in this manner. If that person refused, they would simply try again. Having already walked along the edge of life and death, they felt no fear regarding the future, and death was nothing much after all.

Upon finishing his sentence, that man noticed Hong Lan's face sink. Not realizing what he had said to anger him, he quickly slipped away with someone nearby before Hong Lan could throw a tantrum.

"You—what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Ye Feng was no longer making a move against her, Liu Wanruo could not help her mind from wandering: Could it be that he has grown tired of me?

Outside Feixia Hall, layers upon layers of guards stood at attention. Zhongli Shuo had never seen his imperial father's sleeping quarters as heavily guarded as they were now. While waiting to be announced, Zhongli Shuo absentmindedly observed the expressions of the guards.

After that, I never had another chance to say a word, because he kept complaining to me about all the faults of the Carefree Prince, while simultaneously telling me many things the Carefree Prince liked and disliked, as well as ways to deal with him, until he had completely emptied a full pot of tea on the table, which finally made him shut his mouth.

Toronto could coordinate with his mind during attacks, and under the coverage of his divine sense, he could clearly grasp Aoxi's movements, whereas Aoxi fell a step behind in this regard.
