Chapter 61: The Spy Emerges! The Full Picture of This Night Finally Becomes Clear!
In terms of qualifications, the most eligible one was naturally Ye Chengxuan, but he had always been indifferent to affairs and frequently liked to play truant. Just as now, with Ye Chengzhi absent, he should have temporarily taken charge of company matters. However, when the executives went to look for him earlier, they found he was not in his office.
Zhao Gan gently sighed, reached out and pulled Yu Jing into his arms, letting her sob bitterly against his chest, her tears nearly soaking through his shirt.
"However, Young Commander, I'm afraid the hospital won't be able to accommodate so many wounded all at once," Ruan Jingyuan reminded him.
He had planned to come back in the evening to settle accounts, but unexpectedly, barely the time it takes to brew a cup of tea after his departure, a strange fragrance began to drift through Ruoyu's room. It was a scent mingling jasmine and wild lilies, making one feel dizzy and completely drained of strength.
"Have the water lilies in the courtyard blossomed yet?" Prince Xin suddenly asked out of nowhere. Everyone else was puzzled, but her heart skipped a beat.
Chu Tao gazed at her for a long time, gently toying with her silver hairpin, lost in deep thought, wondering what was on his mind.
He Yixiang's eyes lit up as she said, "So you are also a Demon Hunter." She did not find Demon Hunters humble at all, because the third brother she adored, Guo Lin, had always proudly called himself a Demon Hunter. Loving the person, she extended her love to the house; she grew very fond of this identity.
His cyan robes were ethereal and flowing, unrestrained and unbounteous, so much so that even the sunlight felt hesitant to leave mottled tree shadows upon him.
As a Grand Magus who was also intimately familiar with Li Yan's strength, Beryl's analysis was undoubtedly the closest to the truth. Even Helen and Melinda had to concede defeat to her in this regard.
The setting sun resembled blood, suspended in mid-air, casting an overwhelming crimson glow across the azure sky. Outside this Nether City—which held a status comparable to Dongyu City in the Corrosive Demon Realm and was once crowded with Demon Hunters—the plains were strewn with corpses. Countless Demon Hunters had perished beneath the feet of the demonic hordes.
Ruyi was extremely puzzled by Mo Li's reaction. She had mentioned Boyu to Mo Li before, but he had never reacted like this. Could something have happened? Ruyi could never have imagined that Mo Li now regarded Boyu as a romantic rival.
At the Si hour in the morning, horns echoed continuously through the garrison within the city, as rows of troops assembled orderly and neatly on the drill ground. Duan Lang stood upon the commanding platform, clad in Northern Ming general's armor and holding a battle halberd. Meng Du wore a marshal's robe, yet stood behind Duan Lang. As for Tantai Mingyue, she maintained a very low profile, standing quietly beneath the platform.
Li Xiang and Li Hengsheng looked at each other in bewilderment, tears of excitement and happiness streaming across their faces. In this touching moment, fearing that elderly Mrs. Zhu Xiuhua might be overwhelmed with joy, they rushed over to embrace her, and the family held each other tightly.
"Puff!" Situ Xuan collapsed. At this very moment, a faint smile appeared on his pale, paper-white face as his body lay submerged in the marsh water.
Fairy Lianyue had no idea when control of the grand array had been snatched away from her. Her pretty face was filled with extreme astonishment, coupled with deep inner perplexity.
Suddenly, a gust of eerie wind swept by, and Yulang Qi rushed toward me brandishing a gleaming saber. A look of terror crossed my face. Just as the blade was a mere finger-width away from me, something slippery flew through the air, grazed my cheek, and dropped to the ground.
Fu Xiao was slightly stunned, clearly failing to understand why Wang Tiehan, who had been laughing and joking just a moment ago, had suddenly turned so solemn. However, having previously heard about military demeanor from Li Maogong, Fu Xiao felt only surprise rather than confusion at Wang Tiehan's abrupt change of expression.
When Qi cultivation reaches the Foundation Establishment realm, one is able to sink Qi into the Dantian, regulate breathing from its very root, and practice long-term Qi nourishment. Through this, spiritual warmth naturally generates and transforms into vital energy. By moving Qi with the mind and driving the body with Qi, focusing entirely on boxing forms and routines, every single movement harmonizes with the inner breath to generate a unique explosive power. Thus, martial arts naturally acquire profound force.
Wei Dalin did not know whether Old Knife Liu had taken his words to heart. In any case, this whole affair had now been handed over.
Thousands of ghostly apparitions crawled out from Yuan Chen's sword domain, transforming into a flurry of fierce sword-shadows that lunged toward the two ghostly rhinoceros figures.
At this moment, Old Ding was extremely depressed. He had been the first to discover this place and could have seized the initiative, but who could have known it would collapse? Now, all the good things were ruined as everyone had swarmed in.
Meng Jingyi was currently pregnant and busy preparing for the wedding, so Xiao Heng did not want her to be too exhausted, leading him to temporarily set aside his cultivation.
Thinking along these lines, Mother Ding felt it grew increasingly plausible, so she decided to have Old Ding come and take a look, hoping to dispel this grievance for Meng Jingyi and perform a transition ritual for her so she might have a good destination in her next life and be reborn into a good family.
Suppressing my anger, I climbed into the car. Fatty drove quite steadily. At first, we exchanged a few idle remarks, but soon running out of topics, we tacitly kept silent.
Furthermore, it slowly maneuvered its mecha closer and closer to me, causing me to draw a deep, involuntary breath.
Seeing that Qian Yaling was on the verge of fainting, she still desperately protected the necklace pressed against her chest. No matter how severe the injuries she sustained, she guarded it safely, refusing to let it suffer even the slightest damage. Qian's right hand tightly clutched the blue necklace, shielding it closely against her heart.
I raised my head to gaze at the sprawling metropolis before me. It featured a massive city gate, though it was constructed entirely by piled-up mechanical components rather than any earthen wall.
