Volume 1, Chapter 113: The Princess Could Hardly Wait to Be Married!

The Bluebird’s Ethereal Energy Shield was retrofitted by 5270 based on the White Crane model. Due to the incompatibility of the airframes, it was essentially a knock-off, offering only limited effectiveness against standard ethereal energy weapons, but it was still better than nothing. Even so, Susan was overjoyed, her face beaming with an excited smile—only to find herself being targeted.

Yao Qingmu hadn’t noticed while sitting on the bed, but after walking a few steps, she felt dizzy and her entire body ached. Her legs, in particular, required a massive effort for every step she took.

"Uncle Nie, please don't worry. I will do everything in my power to heal her. If she truly cannot be cured, I will care for her for the rest of my life. I am willing to marry her." Mu Zi'ang repeated this vow, his heart feeling as numb as if it had been deadened.

Susan wiped away her tears. She never imagined she would encounter her second brother here, only to find he had become "Number One," meaning he was already dead. How could the brother who swore he would bring their eldest brother home die here? How could he possibly die here?

In the center of the courtyard sat a large wooden stump with a log standing upright upon it. An axe had been discarded carelessly to the side. Near a pile of chopped firewood, a few chickens pecked at the ground leisurely, showing no fear of strangers, as if they were the masters of the place. At the very edge was a large vegetable patch, lush and green, with a few cucumbers growing along the fence.

Qin Shang gave a light hum. "What? Are you reluctant to part with them?" Although he was joking, for some reason, a faint bitterness welled up in his heart.

Li Chen’s tone now was incredibly bold; did he think office space could be rented just like that? Judging by his attitude, he wasn't looking to rent just one floor, but an entire building.

Zong Yang dodged two of the three sword-shaped sword beams in the blink of an eye, but the third pierced right through his right chest.

He was focused solely on the system’s notification. Dark Lugia was not yet dead; if it had died or fallen into a coma and become unable to fight, the system would certainly have prompted him with a victory message.

"No!" Seeing this, Arceus threw her head back and shrieked hysterically. As the God of Creation, she had always viewed herself as omnipotent, but only now did she truly realize that she was not omnipotent at all—she couldn't even save the life of the Phoenix.

Although the Hatake clan was born with minimal chakra reserves, they possessed exceptionally sharp swordsmanship, making them perfect for assassinations. The Nara clan’s Shadow Possession Jutsu could perfectly complement the Hatake clan’s sword techniques, while the Inuzuka clan, with their command over canines, was ideal for creating a diversion and building momentum.

There was no sound of gunfire, only the screams of Indian soldiers. It certainly wasn't the sniper who had acted, so it could only have been Hannah.

This strike was immensely powerful, but Ling Xiao knew the battle was far from over. Relying on this single move to defeat the giant Tentacruel was too much of a stretch.

"I am the Sun God! Today, I establish the sacred and inviolable Temple of Fire, Temple of Thunder, and Temple of Ice!" As his words faded, three more pillars of light shot toward the heavens.

Mu Meiqing said there was no need, suggesting they should just send Ma Qin home, as Ma Qin was already in a bad state from drinking, while she herself was still fine. It seemed Mu Meiqing was a woman of her word, and he quickly gave her a mental nod of approval.

As the radiance of the Life Orb shone, a fiery red glow gradually spread across Ling Xiao’s body. As the Life Orb transformed into energy and entered him, the scattered orb fragments and the Merit Golden Wheel were instantly drawn back to their master.

Ling Xiao’s words made the Nightmare God mistakenly believe his master intended to act personally, so he hurriedly spoke up. Having been in this world for so long, it was rare to find a fun target, and he had been holding back for quite a while.

"Even if I wanted to acquire your company, I wouldn't need to resort to these underhanded tactics. To save that bit of money and ruin my reputation—do you know how much my reputation is worth?" Hang Yu said.

The night passed just like that. The next day, Ye Zixuan chose to call in sick. She had been worn out by Wang Hao the night before and could barely walk, let alone go to school, so she had no choice but to ask for leave. Wang Hao, however, remained full of energy; after all, he was no longer an ordinary person.

Once everything was prepared, Jiu Xuanzi and Liu Rushi stood in the center of the grand formation, locking eyes.

She hadn't expected Lin Zhengfeng to come looking for her. Dongfang Yunxue knew that for a man like him, there was no reason for her not to fall in love.

"I'll see you off." Hang Yougong was indeed very busy and did not try to keep them; it wasn't as if they were going to stay and eat at the construction site.

At this moment, Chen Xi’s temper flared. Being chased by the Zerg like a stray dog made her feel incredibly humiliated.

He had been hosting this man in black for a very long time, but he still didn't know who the other party was.

Their auras were no weaker than those of Lan Qianchou and Yan Ruyu, and some were even stronger.

However, Lin Zhengfeng had figured it out: the kick under the table just now had most likely come from Chen Qiuyan.

Just as Wang Hao was puzzled, the voice of his master echoed within his soul sea.

"Are you all crazy? I am the previous champion! I am the Prime Minister’s son!" Jin Bo struggled violently to break free from the staff’s grip, desperate to leave the competition arena.

Seeing that the other party remained silent, Shangguan Yun assumed they had truly been swayed by Xia Huolong’s words and intended to go and wipe out the Giant Whale Gang, so she quickly spoke up to advise against it.

Later, after all the commotion had died down, after the tears had run dry and her voice had gone hoarse, she was still shoved into that ornate bridal sedan.

Fa Hai stared in astonishment at the soul transmission stone in his hand, his hands gripping it so tightly that the muscles in his arms bulged and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

"W-what’s wrong?" Toyama Kazuha, who had just been wearing an expression of grim determination, looked at everyone’s bizarre reactions, completely baffled.

Jiang Ningyu suddenly realized that she rarely watched him leave, perhaps only once or twice. But every time, she felt she would see him again. Yet, the way he left this time, so ordinary and mundane, inexplicably gave her the feeling of a final farewell.
