49 Battle of Life and Death (1)

Without a word, Yu Haoyang slammed the computer shut with a dark, grim expression and stood up to leave the room, leaving Ling Chen and Yang Shang dumbfounded beside the desk.

Hongli was already feeling somewhat stifled, and upon turning his head to see Nalan staring intently at Hongzhou, a surge of anger flared within him. He slammed his chess piece down hard onto the board.

"So what if I attacked?" An Yujing flushed, her gaze filled with fury. "You big liar, I wanted to hit you, what about it?" Without regard for the time or place, she threw two more punches, still unable to quell the rage in her heart. Finally, without sparing him another glance, she turned and stormed off.

He was first surprised to see Xia Jie, and upon noticing that Xia Jie was thoroughly soaked, a myriad of emotions flashed through the depths of his eyes. Then, shifting his gaze to Xiliu Yue standing nearby, and considering that unexpected possibility, the chill and murderous intent in his eyes became unmistakably clear. At that moment, Xiliu Yue's heart shattered into pieces.

I gazed at him deeply, silently, without a word, just looking at him like that. He met my gaze for a moment, then leaned down once more to kiss my cheek and lips. As if finally making up his mind, he walked out and gently pulled the door shut behind him.

Hearing this, Ye Li had the urge to let go of the rock face she was clinging to and slap that brightly smiling face of his.

Recalling the incident at the dark bar last time, Chu Haoxuan could not help but tremble. He wondered where Su Wei might have taken Ye Li this time, and what cruel methods he might use. Moreover, Ye Li was still carrying a child... Chu Haoxuan dared not think any further.

"Yes." Lian'er replied timidly, thinking of her own family, a wave of desolation washing over her.

"Does President Wei have any other instructions? If not, I will take my leave." Without waiting for Wei Zongze to respond, Qiu Lingyang turned and walked away.

"Who is it?" Ruotang asked curiously, her hands moving deftly as she placed the selected goji berries, longans, and other ingredients into the casserole.

At this moment, Di Ze was deeply worried for Guzhen. If the Fox Master did not know Guzhen, Guzhen's actions would still be considered disrespectful to her, and the consequences would be severe.

Deep within the Southern Ocean, shrimp soldiers and crab generals who saw a stranger barge in and even control the Guanyin were so frightened that they fled in panic, pissing their pants.

Guzhen seemed to be reminding Gongshu Bushu and Lu Neng. Upon hearing Guzhen question Lu Neng, Gongshu Bushu also appeared to snap back to his senses.

Qingping and Qingshu thought they would be able to leave, but the guards from the Prince Hailing's Manor blocked the entrance, refusing to let them pass.

Liu Shouguang and Shi Chuan were currently discussing strategies to wipe out the Desolate Star Domain in one fell swoop. However, Liu Shouguang learned from the Yin-Yang Mirror that the Annihilation Mage was not residing within the Desolate Imperial Palace. That being the case, they decided to temporarily spare the palace.

If someone had told her half a year ago that the man who constantly lived in the shadow of her covert glances would one day stand before her family and declare his intention to marry her...

"Stay close behind me, and we'll leave the netherworld together," Ning Xiao said, turning his head to speak to Tang Nianxi behind him.

Pulling her into his embrace with a heart full of tenderness, Jun Qingyao raised a hand to gently stroke her tense spine, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe and sending a shiver of tingles through her.

The bone Gu Jiaqi had broken had not yet fully healed, and this fall hurt her so badly that she almost lost consciousness.

Stealthily advancing toward the kitchen, Jin Shanqian could see everything clearly through the thin glass window.

Voices coming from the courtyard woke Su Yinyin. Opening her eyes, she noticed her body felt clean and refreshed; someone must have wiped her down.

Therefore, taking advantage of her status, she quietly searched and inquired everywhere, yet she never found the so-called internal cultivation manual. She had also tried discreetly probing Chu Juncong, but gained nothing. Furthermore, she dared not make her words too obvious, lest she arouse Chu Juncong's suspicion.

Qi Xingyu had no way to comment on this matter. Life was never easy, and while some of her eldest brother's methods might be difficult for her to accept, she also understood that she had never experienced running a household and lacked a true grasp of the difficulties of maintaining a family.

"The founding patriarch of the Garuda Sect once obtained a secret text recording the life of Garuda. It stated that when Garuda stole the nectar of immortality in the heavenly realm, he immersed his entire body in the nectar pool to bathe, absorbing the essence within it."

Monica's body trembled slightly, betraying her fear. In truth, Monica had been an ordinary person before all this; if not for the gold, her father would never have dispatched bodyguards.

"Yes," Wang Qianshan and Wang Qingshui acknowledged. They turned and led their men away. Although the mission carried a certain degree of risk, it was not impossible to accomplish. After all, both of them were Level 3 martial artists, backed by forty Level 2 martial artists; wiping out an artillery position should pose no real problem.

Frederic glanced at Laura, who lowered her gaze, indicating that she had known but kept it to herself.

Although Qi Xingyu told it in the form of a story and kept it obscure, as time passed, even those who hadn't listened continuously could understand a fair bit.

Not long after setting off, faint cries of agony and weeping drifted from ahead. Lu Hua's expression shifted; his figure instantly darted forward, vanishing into the street in the blink of an eye. Uncle Jiu, looking up to find him gone, was momentarily stunned.

Could it be that these were not dreams, but the actual experiences of someone named Su Yuxiang? At this thought, Su Mei subconsciously covered her mouth, her astonishment too great for words.

Seeing this, Shangguan Feiyan could only roll her eyes before getting up to wash and dress. She originally intended to go pay her respects to her parents first, but spotted the estate's steward rushing in panic.

The Great Elder of the Black Tortoise wore an expression of terrifying gravity. Exchanging a glance with the Dragon Clan elder, he led all the men and beasts flying toward the Vermilion Bird Mountain Range.

When Huo Jingchen rushed to Chumen Hospital with Canghai, Grandma Lin and the others were still in the emergency room.

Seeing that her gloves were on, Tang Wanqing wanted to continue holding hands with Pei Moye, but Pei Moye instantly released her grip.

However, because Xishan Temple was a royal temple sustained by the imperial court year-round, it enjoyed an exceptionally high reputation among the temples in the capital. Even so, it primarily catered to imperial nobility and a very small circle of high-ranking aristocrats.

That night, her breath was faintly warm, brushing against the bare skin of his neck—a sensation he could feel clearly. That night, her only reply was a single word: "Okay."
