Chapter 21

Liang Jinyi waved her hand at her to signal she was fine. Then, bracing herself with one arm against the table, she leaned over and coughed several times, the sound quite sharp.

She did not hesitate to strike again, sending these two to reunite with their companions. With a final burst of fire, she incinerated them all, fulfilling their bond of brotherhood by ensuring they would not share the same birth, but would at least share the same death.

When he first arrived, he had noticed that Wang Zhong’s gait was a bit off; he did not walk with the steady stride of an ordinary man. At first, Qin Fan assumed it was just a common ailment of middle age and paid it no mind, but observing closely now, he realized Uncle Zhong’s leg condition was not caused by a simple illness.

The food supply was mostly gone, but beyond food, he needed daily necessities. After all, he hadn't been in the apocalypse long and found it hard to adapt to a life without brushing his teeth or having toilet paper.

Tomorrow was New Year’s Eve, and since it concerned the heir apparent’s future succession, the steward felt he finally had to confirm the situation.

The previous move was not just a probe, but an attempt to seize the initiative directly. However, the person before her didn't fall for it, so she naturally had to change her strategy.

Kilian’s parents had gone missing due to the torrential rains. Since the family had always treated her well, Shi Jing had no choice but to take Kilian and Molly and struggle for survival amidst the storm.

Attached was a hidden video captured by the surveillance system while it was still running, which happened to record the entire scene.

Flying Fox looked at Luo Feng and realized that he, too, wanted her to leave. She felt quite anxious and uneasy, but since the opportunity had presented itself, she was not one to hesitate.

"Enough, you may withdraw!" The Emperor waved his hand, seemingly unwilling to continue the conversation with Leng Huaping.

Undoubtedly, they could only sense the changes in the space, but they could not explain the details.

After hearing the news, Zhang Xiu was somewhat bewildered, but he absolutely did not believe that anyone would dare to make a move against him.

"There is no need to say such things. Tell me, did you send anyone to see Xinrui last night?" Su Jinyin’s greatest worry was for Zhou Xinrui’s state of mind. If she had missed their meeting last night and Zhou Xinrui suffered further, Su Jinyin feared her fragile friend would not be able to hold on.

Of course, no one had ever verified whether it was true or not. Therefore, their understanding of these dark matters remained far too superficial.

This was his most fundamental principle for choosing disciples; if one lacked a resilient mindset, how could one hope to break through to higher realms?

"The task is simple. You two are responsible for spreading a piece of news: tell everyone here that the nursing baby has gone to the Hundred-Shattered Mountains." Once Su Yang finished stating the simple task, Old Man Jingbi and Uncle Hammer patted their chests to guarantee its completion. Su Yang nodded and disappeared, taking the Willow Deity with him.

Su Jinyin looked at her sisters, who were chatting with the third Miss Zhou, and decided to abandon the thought of taking a walk with Miss Zhou.

"How could that be? There is only you here, I swear." Ye Xunhuan whispered directly into Dongfang Zi'er’s ear, making no effort to hide it.

In contrast to Liu Bingyi’s worried expression, Shangguan Youmeng looked calm and composed. She took a light sip of tea and asked, "Bingyi, what do you think of me and Emperor Zhao?" This seemingly unrelated question caught Liu Bingyi off guard.

It was hard to say whether it was the irony of fate or a case of her own undoing. Originally, Dai Jin had not expected anything more to happen between her and Jing Cheng. She couldn't stop Jing Cheng’s feelings, and she had assumed that offering him the throne would settle her debt.

Trust is a difficult thing to build, but it is incredibly simple to shatter.

"But we still haven't been able to make contact with her... I’m more than just a little worried." The newly appointed adjutant to Raymond looked like he was suffering from more than just worry.

The shields were pulled back, and the reserve troops moved up, engaging in a fierce melee with the White Lotus soldiers who had climbed the city walls.

"Damn it, Virgil! Ignore those ants and get over here to give me a hand!" Lloyd was breaking out in a cold sweat, and in his desperation, he could only cry out to Virgil for help.

"Because A-Yun..." Consort Zhang knew that Huo Chengjun was a smart woman; there was no need to spell it out.

I sat back on the living room sofa in a fit of pique and lit a cigarette to soothe my frustration. Just as I took a couple of drags, the phone on the coffee table began to vibrate without warning. I ignored it, continuing to vent my gloom through the smoke.

"He Lang, explain the meaning of 'the Great Way is simple, and enlightenment comes naturally' in the most concise terms possible." After Liu Heng asked the question, he prepared his rebuttal to whatever He Lang might say.

Let me think—her secret should be coming here, and the rest can be omitted. Because I have the same secret; my secret is at Fragrant Hill.

Upon hearing the other man’s agreement, Huangfu Qianzhong’s eyes ignited with excitement. He rubbed his hands together, wishing he could rush to the training grounds right then to fight him for three hundred rounds.

While Qin Jinyu was talking to Sikong Luo, Su Heng snuck into Su Han’s room. After the palace servants closed the doors and windows, he pulled a bottle of medicine from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

Arriving at the five-star hotel in the capital called Huachen, Xu Chuan did not first encounter Lin Yan or Elder Gong, but rather three disciples of the Dragon Gate—the brothers and sisters of Ruhua. Seeing the three Dragon Gate disciples, Ruhua smiled politely and greeted them.

"It’s not a punishment to go half a month without snacks..." Qin Jinyu felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Could it be that her Imperial Father intended for her to go without snacks for the rest of her life?

The medical pod was ready. The man held Wu Jin in his arms, leaned over to place him inside, and covered him with a blanket.

Consort Xian only let her leave once she grew tired of speaking. She did not impose a severe punishment, only ordering her to copy the material she had learned over the past few days ten times and present it for her inspection.

Could it be that I am still unable to gain your forgiveness and win your heart? Ripples of shock surged through his heart, and he stopped his advance, turning instead to retreat.

Blood Guanyin and Chu Hongmian were incredibly worried; this wild horse was simply too fierce and too dangerous.

Xu Chuan understood Ao Hai’s dissatisfaction. Based on his words just now, since the Dragon Clan were deified beings conferred as gods, then as a dragon, Ao Hai must certainly be a god.

The doctor rushed over, and the police officer unlocked the shackles to let him in. The doctor glanced at the officer watching him, then stepped forward to examine Su Wushuang’s body.

The most important thing now was to get the marriage certificate; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to obtain a birth permit when the baby arrived.

But when one drifts through the world, even if Sun Chengzong doesn't think of himself, he must think of his students and former subordinates, so he could only force a smile and patiently entertain guests from all directions.

Yet, they had truly succeeded, causing some in the internet cafe to burst into tears. But when it came to heartbreak, nostalgia, and bitterness, who among all the spectators present could compare to the pain that man felt?
