Chapter 156: Persuading Tsunade

Soft sunlight, fine as golden gauze, fell gently upon the city’s only quiet teahouse.

Inside, Naruto sat upright across from Tsunade, his expression earnest and attentive, his eyes filled with expectation and respect.

Tsunade shifted slightly in her seat, an uncomfortable look appearing on her face. Her gaze wandered, as though she were deliberately avoiding something.

Shizune seemed calm beside them, but inwardly she, too, was secretly trying to guess where this conversation was headed.

“Wait, there’s still one suit of armor left. Isn’t it Ziyue’s?” Yaya gazed reluctantly at the blood-red armor. It was much better-looking than her own, but unfortunately, no one had managed to obtain it.

Even the government soldiers beneath the vehicles were swallowed by the flames, their faces rendered unrecognizable as they fled in every direction. Seeing the siege ladders and battering rams all catch fire, with several hundred soldiers consumed by the blaze, Yuan Shao was utterly astonished.

And now, with the God of Blighted Flowers running rampant and slaughtering four demigods in a single day, the finest spark had been struck. In an instant, the shifting momentum of heaven and earth was set in motion.

After the government troops had been rescued, General Zuo Zhenlin met Master Huaizhi and finally realized that there was hope of defeating the Giant Barbarian Dragon. He then recounted in full the matter of the Dragon-Headed Golden Lion Divine Beast.

“How do you know about the Night Nether Palace? Why did you run away? Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Xianyun?” Su Zhiwu’s tone made the temperature in the room drop.

Many people in the cafeteria witnessed the scene between Tang Yiquan and Tusu, and quite a few recognized them. As the two most famous figures among the current first-year students, they naturally attracted considerable attention.

The moment the red light appeared, it suddenly shattered into countless crimson fragments, scattering and sprinkling into every corner of the blue space.

“It’s all right, bro! I know what you mean. I understand you.” Zilong patted his chest as he replied.

When Dayang Neng began to view Emperor Jing’an not through the eyes of a grandson judging his grandfather, but through the fairer eyes of a statesman, he had perhaps acquired the makings of a great emperor.

While the High Priest and the others were wondering how they might eat meat again, Xingxing’s words left them stunned. What else could Xingxing do? Why did she even know how to make these things? They understood none of it, yet merely from listening, they could tell that these things were extraordinary.

Ye Chu understood Ye Jiarou’s nature perfectly. Even if Ye Jiarou wore perfume, she would never apply too much, because she did not want anyone to know that she had carefully dressed herself up.

The book’s binding followed a simple and dignified style, with hardly any unnecessary ornamentation. Yet every detail had been painstakingly crafted, making it exceptionally refined and elegant. Even without reading its contents, merely holding it in one’s hands conveyed a solemn and stately air.

Linlang casually flourished her sword in an intricate, beautiful arc. Fortunately, the movement no longer felt unfamiliar; after all, it had once been a skill on which her survival depended.

The great sea merchants alone were not enough. Dachang had laws. Above the county magistrate stood the prefect; above the prefect were the surveillance commissioner, the provincial governor, and even the governor-general. Local civil administration and stationed troops belonged to two separate systems. Above the Hundred-Household Office stood the Thousand-Household Office, and above that stood the Regional Military Command.

Almost at the very moment the voice appeared, a slender, fair hand gently pressed against the sommelier’s shoulder. The sommelier gave a faint groan, collapsed to the floor, forgot everything that had just happened, and promptly fell into a deep sleep.

“Ring-a-ling!” Just then, the telephone rang abruptly, immediately drawing Anran and the others’ attention.

Although Chen Xiyuan was not the best choice of partner in her heart, his circumstances were still quite good—especially since he had rejected Ye Chu during their blind date.

I do not know what the reason truly is, but I know perfectly well how she feels about me and whether she has any feelings for me.

Ming Yu was still smiling foolishly. Seeing him like that, Ming Nanxi felt deeply uneasy, unsure whether he had truly taken anything in.
