Chapter 101: Evasion
This matter is difficult to explain, and Shu Yiming cannot speak of it; even if he did, no one would believe him. After some thought, he had no choice but to fabricate an imaginary person and claim it was under that person's guidance that he managed to rescue Song Kun just in time.
Precisely because the whole affair was so bizarre and strange, this explanation became, ironically, the most reasonable. As the conversation wound down, they drank a few cups, and Ouyang Zhu hurriedly rushed off...
Like everyone else, they all turned their gaze to the electronic screen. Cries of astonishment erupted, and for a moment the square was plunged into a noisy uproar.
"Everyone, change your targets—aim at the Blood Beast and open fire!" The Blood Beast's purpose was unclear, but surely nothing good; weighing the threat of both the Blood Beast and the Thunder Beast, Su Yi chose to fire at the Blood Beast first.
Looking at the green serpent's back, there were deep brown square patterns, and even more striking, atop its head rose a fleshy crest resembling a rooster's comb... One glance told you this was a creature of deadly venom.
James clearly saw the look in Qin Yan's eyes, but chose to ignore it; there was no need to spar with Qin Yan, it would only leave him feeling irked.
"Zhu Yiqing!" Ye Xun'er heard his words laced with mockery, and her brow furrowed. Like a mother shielding her cub, she stood and glared fiercely at him.
Just as they spoke, an enormous shadow blocked out the sun, sweeping in with wind and snow. Its tail lashed out like a pillar falling from the sky.
u81 placed the mattress against the sofa in front of the television, then laid out the blanket and pillow on top.
Allies are, after all, just allies. The Leaf Village and the Mist Ninjas each have their own missions; cooperation is possible, but stealing the spotlight from one another still calls for caution.
"That's right! Ship girls never get sick! The Admiral doesn't even know that? So silly!" Hatsuyuki ran to Changfei and said.
He truly was extraordinary now; at such a young age, his strength surpassed even prodigies like Nangong 'Yu'er.' Yet Hongwu was well aware that he could not claim invincibility among his peers. Not just the Greek Alliance and the Northern European Alliance—even within the Huaxia Alliance, there were one or two people who could rival him. Who was stronger or weaker was yet to be determined.
At last, with a pitiful roar, the great dragon's belly was torn open, and a ravenous beast clawed its way out of the bloody hole, jaws wide, biting savagely into its flesh.
Liu Bei and Fa Zheng, watching from the side, were shocked. Why had the ever-elegant strategist's face suddenly changed so drastically? And why did his expression grow so odd afterwards?
Night Sacrifice wanted to say more, but his injuries were strange, and having forced himself to speak so much just now, he now felt a bizarre numbness in his throat.
As soon as Consort Cao spoke, Lingxi was too contemptuous to respond. Consort Cao's words were clearly unreasonable, and her sheer absurdity was outrageous.
Ye Kui looked on, unable to help but think: to witness such people day after day—surely the emperor's temperament must become warped.
"Thank you, my lord!" Sima Yi's cheeks flushed with excitement. The words he just heard from his lord seemed to carry criticism, yet this sentence was undoubtedly praise.
"Master, why say such discouraging things?" Ziyue was clearly unhappy, pouting as she twisted away and left.
For Lingxi, this situation was a lifeline in dire straits. If Emperor Yong'an trusted her a little more when investigating the smallpox incident, and with the child likely already arrived in her womb, Lingxi was confident she could secure her life—and perhaps her status as well.
"You look rather well, miss." He Xuan noticed how Jinse's gaze lingered on her, and smiled as she spoke.
Of course, what she cared for more at this moment was whether Emperor Yong'an would disregard the empress's dignity and speak up for her in front of all the consorts.
