"Creaaak."
Just as she was feeling stifled and overheated, her heart restless and anxious to the point of nearly fainting, the door to the main hall swung open. The usual harsh sound of the old wooden door scraping against its frame, which had always grated on her nerves, now seemed as melodious as a heavenly choir.
"Gu Bin?"
Her eyes suddenly sparkled, and she dashed over in a small run.
"Grandmother has agreed."
Gu Bin lifted her up with force, spinning joyfully in place twice.
"Really?"
"If you don't say anything, how would he know? So foolish." Jiang Tingxue pulled Ling Chan along as they continued walking outside, not forgetting to jab at him with a mocking remark.
Mu Mingshu turned her face away, pouting and refusing to look at him. She reached for the fox fur blanket beside her and covered herself, grumbling inwardly: It's clearly been half a month already.
At this moment, Luo Ziyao was running happily toward Luo Tian, and only then did Wu Sisi feel a measure of relief.
The shadow clone had only managed to pursue the water-element masked monster. After dealing with it, the clone tried to continue searching for Kakuzu, but Kakuzu's trail was already lost.
Inside the room were several red lacquered wooden chests. The proprietor walked over and opened them one by one, revealing a collection of treasures, each worth a small fortune.
Wen Ziran recounted the matter to Mu Mingshu only briefly, whether it was the peril of the black-clad intruder breaking into the manor that day or the two bloody attempts by Yang Qinghe, both glossed over lightly. Yet Mu Mingshu could well imagine what kind of days Wen Ziran had endured these past two days.
But now my mood truly is better than before. After all, I managed to see, from afar, that my Sister Bo, though imprisoned at the Savior Alliance base, hadn't suffered much hardship. The one-sided video call was brief, but still allowed me to clearly discern Sister Bo's situation.
This time, Sister Bo spoke to me in full, articulating her wise and noble sentiments, leaving me feeling deeply conflicted.
"I just want to change myself, not live as I did before. I want to try acting like a proper lady, as I should. Is that so wrong?" Ling Chan asked, her tone carrying a hint of authority.
Two city guard soldiers, long spears in hand, strode forward, aiming their weapons at Kakashi and Obito.
Suddenly, within the martial arena, two massive surges of true energy appeared. In less than three breaths, the energy formed two luminous rings, enveloping both Ye Xingchen and Lu Guangwu.
"Liu Sheng is dead!" I exclaimed, my mind going completely blank, as if my thoughts had crashed.
"Sir, you must not leave the city. The soldiers are utterly exhausted—how could they possibly go out to fight?" A young military officer grabbed Yang County's magistrate, urging him.
Then, under Lü Bu’s command, someone led Chang Tian’s carriage slowly inward. As they passed Lü Bu, Chang Tian turned his head and glanced at him, discovering a look of smug satisfaction on Lü Bu’s face, as if he were delighted to see Chang Tian suffer a setback.
Hu Zhen, from atop his horse, watched from afar and saw that ahead of Qiao Mao there was another unit fleeing. A malicious grin spread across his face.
And if one looked closely, the column was filled with ordinary people. They traveled in groups, some carrying, some lifting, responsible for transporting supplies. Their clothes were worn, and their bodies frail; it was likely that many would perish on the journey.
"Please, benefactors, do not be anxious. Since I have gathered everyone here, how could I not explain in detail? Have you ever heard of the Pill Dao Sect?" Master Jin Guang spoke slowly.
But what shocked me even more was not just this, but the fact that the owner of the Four Seals Club could summon so many experts to create a feng shui map together. Just what kind of formidable person was the owner of the Four Seals Club?
Lang Zhan's worry was not unfounded. As soon as Natalia posted her job request, Kaseliseta responded, and on the third day, Mathis’s side made corresponding arrangements as well.
