Volume One, Chapter 126: Qin Bao, Peerless Beneath Heaven, Slays the Enemy with a Single Sword!
Gu Hengshan had always been conceited, fiercely competitive, and unwilling to admit defeat. Upon learning that Qin Bao had over two hundred men, he felt no concern, but rather, was filled with lofty confidence. With a wave of his broad sleeve, he declared loudly, "We both have two hundred men, but my two hundred are battle-hardened veterans who have fought in wars, slaughtered bandits, and suppressed ruffians. Why should I fear Qin Bao's two hundred?"
The status of the Cloud Clan among the myriad races is currently unique, all stemming from Yun Feng. Over the past two hundred years in the Void Battlefield, countless experts of the Three Ancients have perished at his hands. Now, on the Grand Extermination Ranking, Yun Feng’s name has surged into the top ten! His reputation has grown so vast that he has become a titan of the new generation.
The news that the Japanese navy’s combined fleet had been defeated by the joint German-American naval forces in the Gulf of Tonkin reached the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters that very day. Prime Minister Katsura Tarō and Minister of the Navy Saitō Makoto, knowing they could not escape culpability, immediately went to the Imperial Palace to plead for mercy from His Majesty, Emperor Meiji.
The provisional vice-presidential election of the Republic of China was held, electing Li Yuanhong as the provisional vice president.
Cui Feng saw the rainbow snake being tightly gripped by Jiang Yun and could not help but feel as though his own heart were being squeezed, a sensation of extreme distress. Although he had not been with the rainbow snake for long, it was thanks to its company over these past few days that he had been spared much distraction and worry.
"By the way, green is a form of protective coloration, though that’s hard to say during the season when the grass and trees wither and turn yellow," Chen Ning remarked.
Fei Liangyan hurriedly said, "Grandfather, wait for me at the courtyard house; I’m coming back right away!" He hung up the phone and sprinted downstairs as if running a hundred-meter dash, driving toward the courtyard.
The glory of a month ago had not yet faded, but now, she sat slumped on the cold marble floor, her face deathly pale, her eyes filled with shock and suspicion as tears rolled down her delicate cheeks.
"Tsk." Yun Shichen sighed; they seemed to have hit a bottleneck once again. Then again, they always seemed to be in a bottleneck.
This matter was of great importance to him; he could not afford to be careless! He was obsessed with that inner core, viewing it as a destiny that belonged to him alone.
Looking back, the entire track was in disarray, with knocked-over hurdles lying in every direction, including a shoe that someone had lost during the run. Yet, the hurdles in his lane remained standing; not a single one had fallen, whereas both Bai Yifeng and Fan Jinxiang had each knocked one over.
She had just rounded a corner when a tea-white figure suddenly appeared before her. Startled, she stumbled backward, almost losing her footing.
She delved deeper into her thoughts, but seeing is believing and hearing is rumor; in the end, she had no clear answer. She bit her lower lip lightly and decided to go and investigate for herself.
Liu Si glanced at Long Ba’s awkward demeanor with disdain, his gaze lingering for a second on the finger with which Long Ba was rubbing his nose. He thought to himself, this guy is definitely going to have a bulbous red nose in the future.
"Brother Xuan, today is your big day. I know you usually don't like these things, but are you wearing your sweater backward to protest the injustices of this world?" Zhou Pinghan, seeing He Xuan wearing his sweater inside out, could no longer restrain himself. He stood in the doorway, staring fixedly at He Xuan with his eerie, greenish eyes.
Although Wang Ning did not have the expertise himself, he always felt that as long as he could find a good practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, there would be a chance for a cure.
Suddenly, a crisp and pleasant bird call came from nearby. Jiang Linlin turned her head and discovered a green bird dancing in the air.
Jiang Linlin nodded, picked up a piece of kimbap, and handed it over. Zhang Sha was startled for a moment; instead of taking it with his hand, he opened his mouth, waiting for Jiang Linlin to feed him.
She circled around to the driver's side window, leaned in to plant a kiss on Xu Yang’s face, and after a crisp "mwah" sound, turned and ran away.
Barring any special circumstances, Wang Ning remembered his habit from before graduating college: he did indeed eat a light and simple dinner to avoid putting a burden on his digestion.
