Chapter 56: The Rescued Wolf Cub

When Fu Xiaoxiao had first gone to the kitchen, she had noticed the freshly delivered supplies. In addition to vegetables, there were chicken and pork. Remembering Lu Lin's words that the military unit sent provisions at regular intervals, she figured these must be their allocated share.

When Fu Xiaoxiao came out, Lu Chen happened to be returning from outside. Seeing her, he immediately rushed over. "Mom, why were you gone for so long..."

"I'm sorry, something came up and delayed me!" Fu Xiaoxiao gently stroked Lu Chen's head. Hearing Fu Xiaoxiao's conversation with the robed elder just moments before, it had been a brush with life and death; if a fight had broken out, the consequences would have been far more catastrophic than mere planetary destruction.

"Your Majesty, merchant vessels compete with the common people for profit; this must not be rashly undertaken," Ying Jieyan also objected, and the other two men nodded in agreement.

Momo's tears drifted upward into the air, dampening the sash handed to her by Tong Jingang, and then wetting Tong Jingang's cheeks. Yet, she never reached out to grasp that ribbon which could have saved her life, simply letting herself fall freely into the abyss.

Sixteen had no intention of guessing what was going on in his mind. Glancing back at the police officers who were either deep in thought or tidying up, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him for the moment, he walked out of the room. After taking four or five steps, he turned and leaned against the doorframe, taking out his phone to dial a familiar number.

Without a word, the two of them struck, unleashing their most powerful attack right from the start. Unfortunately, before the blow could even be delivered, they felt the entire space freeze around them, solidifying their bodies to the point where moving even a single finger became exceedingly difficult. Only then did they notice the Human Emperor standing right beside them.

First, the originally planned army of eighty thousand would be entirely deployed to the Zeya River and the Trans-Amur region. In addition, another eighty thousand regular and reserve troops would be added, bringing the local troop strength to over one hundred and forty thousand, with the goal of wiping out this clandestine army that the Huaxia Empire refused to officially acknowledge.

"Hahaha... Black Tortoise, this is the Universe Sea. Without a cosmic bridge, the four of you divine generals certainly cannot go anywhere," Taobao laughed heartily.

If it was somewhat difficult to understand why Tian Shuangkai felt indebted to Li Guoji, the fact that Tian Shuangkai's ascension to his current position was tied to Li Guoji seemed downright baffling.

He knew quite a bit about the entire chaotic void and was aware of the few powerhouses at the Chaos God realm residing here. However, he knew that the cultivation levels of these Chaos God experts were by no means exceptionally profound. Yet, how was it that this sudden, unexpected fellow before him was far more terrifying than any of them?

For now, Ni Liang felt that he had done a fairly decent job, having at least avoided any major blunders.

A few minutes earlier, Marina had finally stopped crying under Captain Sakomizu's comfort, and then recounted everything in detail—from getting off the plane to Mirai transforming to protect her, up until their deaths.

"Minister Jiang, are you deliberately trying to cause trouble? If you're not going to play, stop disrupting our game!" Wang Jie glared at Jiang Ning in annoyance.

An Hao picked up the manuscript and revised it completely. She rewrote all the specialized jargon and stiff financial terminology. Who wrote the rule that finance had to be rigid and formulaic? Making things accessible and easy to understand wasn't about making them clear to everyone at a single glance; she couldn't control other people's styles, but during her time slot, she would definitely make sure everyone loved it.

Seeing this, the other two demonic beasts also became shrouded in rolling demonic mist. As the mist dissipated, two figures emerged: one was an ugly, sparse-haired old man draped in a fiery red robe, and the other, even after taking human form, stood a zhang tall, his honest-looking face occasionally flashing with bloodthirsty glints.

Upon receiving Mogu Gu's order, all the Wuhuan tribesmen who felt they were at an appropriate distance subconsciously obeyed. Even those farther away quietly began making preparations.

"Hasn't it already been tested with the Spirit-Connection Mirror? If there were truly a problem, the Spirit-Connection Mirror wouldn't have remained unresponsive," the male cultivator retorted rhetorically.
