Chapter 161: An Unpleasant Blind Date

Tang Liuyi, who had ventured out into the world to make his living, had not changed much in personality, but he had learned how to assess the situation. Seeing such a scene, let alone a blind date, since he hadn't even been offered a sip of water upon arriving here, he already knew the outcome.

Reluctantly casting a lingering glance at Wang Wenyu, he pulled Tang Lidong back and said, "Dad, forget it. Why hang yourself from a single tree? If I want to marry a country girl, I can find one anywhere within ten miles and eight villages, and I even have the pick of the litter. I don't think much of the woman you introduced anyway. Let's go."

Hearing Tang Liuyi speaking such wild words and showing contempt for Jiang Ping in a voice loud enough for all to hear, Wang Wenyu, whose heart ached for her husband's younger sister, gave a scornful "hum" and chimed in, "All bark and..."

"Is it really not?" Aunt Xia nearby seemed still somewhat unconvinced and deliberately asked.

The dance was over, and Tongtong's mood had improved as well. She nodded solemnly and said, "Okay!" As she spoke, she lowered her head to untie her buttons.

"Have you laughed enough? I just dressed a bit simply. It's not like you've never seen what I look like after disguise; is all this really necessary?" Ding Jiuxi couldn't take it anymore.

A week later, Ding Xiaoyi arrived at the Yunnan Expeditionary Force Headquarters in his own command plane. Located in the grand auditorium inside the Ziyuan Garden at No. 1 Lengshuitang, Gaoyao Village, Biji Street Office, Xishan District, Kunming, the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Tri-Service personally received all military officers of the expeditionary force from the battalion level and above.

On the other hand, as the sun dipped toward the horizon and the old day drew to a close, a brand-new conflict was just about to unfold.

"The Tsar's secret agents?" Galan turned pale with fright. He had heard of this mysterious organization, but he had never known what kind of structural makeup it possessed.

Because Xue Qingqing was snuggled right beside her, she noticed Xue Lili's strangeness the very first second. However, she did not realize that Xue Lili was trembling out of fear, simply assuming that she was shaking from the cold.

Mingyi turned back to look at Hong Yi, noticing her eyelashes flutter slightly before she closed her eyes even tighter. Knowing that she wished to avoid showing any sorrow over parting, Mingyi had no choice but to entrust her repeatedly to Fourth Mother and express her gratitude, before heading out of the mountains with Xia Huanfeng.

"Why wouldn't it work?" Ye Caiping seemed to have concerns of her own, and the moment the matter was brought up, she abruptly interrupted what was being said.

He lowered his gaze, the stern and cold expression in his eyes giving way to a genuine tenderness that only ever appeared when he faced Shen Nanyue.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, came a sharp "bang." A specially trimmed "hundred-step bullet" struck Wu Shibin squarely in the shoulder, right on target.

He smiled, yet that trace of a smile did not reach the depths of his eyes. His deep blue pupils mirrored Shen Nanyue's countenance.

Next, Zhou Yun felt four paws scratching against his body, tickling him so intensely that he suddenly burst out laughing.

If I take the lead in refusing to kneel, the damage will not be restricted to your prestige alone; it will also undermine the authority of the Heavenly King, the Western King, the Southern King, the Eastern King, the Northern King, the Winged King, and the Western Queen Mother as well.

The moment his voice fell, Xu Yuan's gaze turned sharp, and his soul power mobilized instantly, immediately drawing their attention.

"Do not keep this consort waiting too long." Consort Feng smiled playfully, hooking her arms around the Emperor's neck as her delicate body trembled slightly.

Being able to live such a good life in these turbulent times, they felt a heartfelt gratitude toward their current village chief.

In her world, besides eating and sleeping, there was only cultivation—where would she ever find the time to learn foreign languages?

With a mournful cry, the golden divine eagle was struck fiercely by the bolt of heavenly lightning, instantly shattering into specks of golden light that vanished into the void. Only then did Feng Yao let out a sigh of relief, rapidly recalling her lightning and casting her gaze once more toward that brilliant stream of golden radiance.

Just as Jiang guai frowned, utterly baffled, he suddenly heard a noisy commotion coming from outside the conference room.

"Can't the two of you see that there are distinguished guests in the manor? Why aren't you hurrying back to your rooms instead of staying here making a spectacle of yourselves and disgracing the family!" Prime Minister Lin reprimanded sternly.

Last time, Ye Lengleng had been arranged by Bibi Dong to go to the Sunset Gorge for training alongside Xie Yue and Yan. Given the identities of Xie Yue and Yan, at most a Contra-level soul master would have been sent to protect them from the shadows.

The effect of this liquid did not resemble corrosion; rather, it seemed to simply erase whatever objects it touched out of existence.
