Chapter 59

If Xie Jinzhao's words were merely the stepping stone to sway Ji Anyang, then Shen Ran's imperial decree was like a raging wildfire, burning away Ji Anyang's last trace of hesitation completely.

Sifeng looked to the left and right, only to realize there was nowhere for him to run! If he chose to slip away through the secret passage now, wouldn't that be tantamount to a confession of guilt?

As a renowned fierce warrior of Rongdi, those who could endure even a single direct blow from Tantai Bartier could be counted on one hand, let alone managing to make the web of his thumb go numb from the impact.

The computer was extremely primitive, roughly equivalent to the technology level of Earth's 1980s, and the television was even a black-and-white cathode-ray tube model. However, the nuclear power system was exceptionally advanced; not only did they have powered armor, Gauss rifles, and power fists, but the Brotherhood of Steel had also launched an immensely colossal airship into the sky to serve as their headquarters fortress.

Wang Fangchao laughed heartily, recalling that an e-sports company had recently been sending him invitations, so he spoke up.

At this moment, both of them wore bizarre-looking helmets on their heads, with numerous data cables extending from the back of the helmets to connect to the two machines behind them.

While speaking, he extended a palm, and the holy spirit body shone with a brilliant radiance, emitting an indestructible power of divine nature as well.

It was not only the Undead Mountain side of the life restricted zone that did not want to give Void Emperor the time to cultivate in seclusion and consolidate his Imperial Dao fruit.

Yet, during this period, she had stepped out of her feelings for He Hansheng and viewed her relationship with him from the perspective of a bystander.

This cry came far too abruptly. Xue Nian's hand, which was dressing Shen Ran's wound, trembled, and she almost poked directly into his injury, adding insult to injury.

Upon seeing the gourd insignia, Shuo Weitieping immediately pounced like a ravenous wolf toward the medic identified as the Gourd Baby. Qizhiwu and the others hurriedly followed behind, providing cover for Shuo Weitieping.

"I shouldn't have trusted you and let you follow Brother Yu," Tiezhuzi shouted with eyes reddened with anxiety.

"I'm fine. This time I owe it all to the boss's help. Thank you so much!" The miraculous doctor expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

Before his anger could erupt, Lei Hao turned his head sharply, sparks of interwoven ice and fire flashing within his eyes. Deepest of all lay a chilling coldness as he stared directly at Liu Yingdi.

Although defeating Qin Xufin and wiping out the Qin army was indeed the dream in the heart of every Chu general, if the price to be paid proved too exorbitant, everyone naturally had to think and think again.

King Damu of Khotan and thousands of other royal nobles from the Southern Circuit states were all buried alive by Xianling Bo after their defeat. Vast amounts of treasures were loaded onto carts and pack horses, streaming endlessly toward the city of Kucha to await unified processing.

When the news reached Gushu, Huan Wen merely smiled faintly: "Anshi truly possesses a heart with nine exquisite apertures." Henceforth, he no longer sent people to pressure him.

A flash of anger crossed Elder Xu's face. With a wave of his hand, another chaos tower descended, immediately triggering a heaven-shaking explosion whose terrifying ripples blasted toward Hua Kun.

Having engaged in such a fierce and protracted struggle with that creature, they had already gained a very clear understanding of its tyrannical temperament. They absolutely did not believe it would give up halfway and directly abandon its resistance. Such a proud and arrogant high-level divine beast would likely never make any gesture of showing weakness, even if it meant exhausting its very life.

This faint command spread outward from the secret chamber, piercing through walls and boundaries to echo instantly throughout the entire array tower. The array masters who received the order cast their spells simultaneously, and a dark grey thin film rose from all directions around the Silver Ghost City, enveloping the entire Silver Ghost Manor.

"Second Madam, rest easy. Perhaps someone will come to call us shortly," Bai Qiao said as well. Her voice was calm, which actually eased the tense atmosphere in the room.

"Because I have already found another goal in life, and I don't want to give up this opportunity," Li Lifei said decisively.

"Are those battered ships comparable to these elite warships?" Britney puckered her lips and retorted disdainfully.

"And I... am that derelict police officer." Dropping this final sentence calmly, before Qin Xiufang could react, Zhang Yu's right hand shot out like a spring, tracing a blood-red arc as the vitality rapidly vanished from the other's pupils.

"Don't worry, Team Leader Zhou," the adjutant assured. He then picked up his briefcase and walked out of the conference room toward Zhou Weiming's office.

Yet gradually, she developed a strange sensation—she felt that the man harbored no malice and would not harm her. The feeling was bizarre, but it unwittingly dispelled her fear.

Once activated, the liver secretes a massive amount of glucose. When glucose enters human blood, it provides extra energy for the body. At the same time, when facing extreme fear, the body also secretes the glucocorticoid "cortisol," also known as hydrocortisone or hydrocortisone compounds.

"However, if I can obtain the General Affairs Department's assistance, Lü Menglei will be a breeze for me," Ling Anxun continued, picking up where Han Yuyan left off.

Regardless of Xu Lei's current achievements, in Long Xuan's mind, he was still young and lacked experience. The script world was not real life; it did not possess so many idealized notions and was far crueler. If one could not withstand a heavy blow, what lay ahead was the abyss of endless darkness.

A jolt ran through my heart. I looked toward the direction he was gazing at but spotted nothing. Then, seeing that the xinxin behind us was still grinning, I instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Since the xinxin hadn't detected any danger, Uncle Jin certainly wouldn't be able to discover anything either.

The next day, the news of Cao Cao's death and Cao Pi's intention to claim the imperial throne spread widely throughout Xuzhou. At the same time, the confirmation arrived that Cao Pi was already residing within the imperial palace in Donghai Commandery. He had already summoned Shangcai Magistrate Zhen Yi and palace imperial guard Yu Moyuan to discuss deposing Emperor Xian and declaring himself King of Wei. Simultaneously, he recalled Cao Cao's generals back to Xuzhou.

Their leader was a man of ordinary appearance yet remarkably piercing eyes, who was none other than Du Chengxian's son, Du Dawei.

The white horse was at the back door where there was a stable. After hitching it to the carriage frame, the two of them locked the door and left.

This outcome was acceptable to Hong Chengchou. He nodded gently, a trace of a smile finally appearing on his face.

Ling Lan felt somewhat dejected that her deduction had been so easily overturned by Gu Hanhao. She could not help but let out a deep sigh.

Although Pei Changge had never touched her, how many others actually knew that? Bearing the title of a bedchamber maid, who would believe that Pei Changge had never laid a hand on her? It was precisely for this reason that she dared to speak so loudly to Ye Kui here.

Ling Xuan gazed in a daze as she walked back to her room and gently closed the door, surprisingly feeling a secret surge of tension. She was serene, delicate, clever as ice and snow, seeing nothing and hearing nothing yet aware of affairs outside her window, keeping her depths hidden—he wondered just how much she knew of his own affairs?

At this, my heart grew thoroughly chilled. I had been quite excited just a moment ago, but now it seemed she was just toying with me. Yet even if she was playing with me, she wouldn't go as far as kissing me, would she? Something wasn't right; she had been acting unusual ever since that fox died today, and there might well be some hidden trick behind all this.
