Volume 1, Chapter 152: Qin Bao Returns in Triumph to the Capital!

Qin Bao looked at Ji Shan, who wore an expression of deep envy, and smiled as he said, "It is simply trading human heart for human heart."

Ji Shan sighed with emotion and said, "I wonder if my Xiongnu people will ever see such a scene, or produce a figure like you."

Just like the conversation between Lan Pingtian and Lan Youming in their living room after Lan Pingtian returned from Dunhuang and first met Shirley, those words of counsel were the truest reflection of Lan Pingtian's inner self.

"What are you doing? You are a grown-up now, don't you know better than to show off your talents?" Hu Yue turned gracefully, shut the door, and began to scold Gu Lingge the moment she sat down. Having finished speaking, she froze when she saw the somewhat dazed look in Gu Lingge's eyes.

The air force was responsible for various missions in the Northeast battlefield, such as bombing, reconnaissance, and surprise attacks. Despite the wide array of duties, Huang Changsheng never allowed the air force to halt its reconnaissance operations against the main Japanese forces.

Seated in the second chair was a young man in tattered clothes with unkempt, disheveled hair. Clasping a large pillow in his arms and pressing his entire face against it, he was fast asleep, as if all the affairs of the outside world had nothing to do with him.

"Cut the damn nonsense! The very same words you are uttering now were spoken by them just a few days ago," Hu Guoshan roared, pointing at a group of puppet army prisoners not far away. He had long grown sick of hearing such flattery over the past few days.

Through the opened passageway, the Japanese troops continuously poured reinforcements into the village. Having nearly exhausted his active forces, Li Ziyuan could only rely on crumbling walls to wage a bitter defense alongside the Japanese, ensuring that the defensive position at the southern edge of the village would not be breached from behind. Yet the situation at the southern defense line was far from optimistic.

This kind of power is not easy to control, and I had no other choice. However, the power of a dragon is difficult to manage—it is not as simple as you imagine.

"According to our observation, both competitors Li Pojun and Liudao have had their Force levels elevated to the nineteenth rank," Jin Wu said solemnly.

Many human disciples who failed to evade in time were blasted far away by the wave of blade Qi. Even Mo Yun was forced back several steps by the powerful aura before he managed to stabilize his footing. He turned around, and the masked figure from the horizon came into his view.

Hearing the grand elder wielding the sword call out to him, the Fiery-Eyed Golden Monkey brought Li Tianyou over to the side of the White Mist Pavilion.

This state lasted for only twelve breaths, after which three strands of natal spiritual Qi materialized out of thin air within Zhang Yang's body.

The magic mastered by this type of red goblin was sufficient to condense a magic core, albeit the lowest-grade triangular ruby core. Its primary task was to forage for food, and it spent long periods hunting outside, making it one of Louis's main targets for slaughter.

"Don't be rash!" Wang Shen shouted toward Qi Huan. "Look, it's Dr. Wu calling. He wouldn't be calling at a time like this unless there is an update on A'Cheng." As he spoke, Wang Shen turned the phone screen toward Qi Huan while pointing at the characters "Wu Yi" displayed on the phone.

Three months later, the pregnancy began to show. Carrying three babies in her belly, she felt them grow just a little bit bigger every single day.

Liu Yunge spoke eloquently with a look of utter disdain. No one has any pleasant expressions to spare for corrupt officials—where did all that money come from? For the most part, it was extorted from the fat and blood of the common people.

Upon hearing Wang Shen's words, the attendant nodded and walked away. Wang Shen walked up to locker number 16, which belonged to A'Cheng, and fished the key out of his pocket. He tried inserting the key into the keyhole, and it slid in smoothly. Wang Shen gave the key a gentle turn, and with a soft click, the lock sprang open.

Hearing this, Flame Lingji's lips curved upward into an imperceptible smile, though she stubbornly retorted, "Get away with you! You're just trying to trick me into going back to the Qin State with you, aren't you? Let me tell you, I don't care at all about some formal title!" With that, she bypassed Ying Zheng and walked toward her own room. Ying Zheng closely followed right behind her, giving chase.
