Chapter 21

“Capital? Yanjing? The Yan Dynasty?” Zhu Fengying mused casually, yet she touched upon an awkward topic—after Huyan Geng usurped the throne, could it still be called the Song Dynasty?

Yin Deng took a deep breath, his temples throbbing fiercely. In the end, he gritted his teeth and threw down his steel sword, signaling Zhang Shan to step aside.

Amy usually referred to Gilias as the Red Ghost, Dimos as the Black Ghost, and Akras as the Big Dummy, but once the masks were on, the titles became formal—something that felt somewhat distant.

Li Ye was focused on contending with the eunuch before him, never expecting anyone in the vast imperial palace to dare kick her backside! Apart from the emperor grandfather and empress grandmother, no one dared treat her like that.

She was not usually so aggressive. But with her brother dead, she could no longer neglect the safety of this younger brother.

At this moment, a faint black light flickered in his pale purple right eye, sharp and penetrating.

After speaking, Shangguan Wan’er ignored the bewildered Kong Yuan and others, turning to walk toward the carriage where Li Lingyue and Pei Wanying were seated.

“In that case, we’ll need a batch of high-end cameras and camcorders first,” Jiang Che said. “Then we…” He wanted to say, “Then we need money; let’s think of ways to earn it together first.”

But Wang Tianyuan’s current energy transfer speed couldn’t sustain continuous lightning strikes; he could only shorten the original interval, now striking about once every ten seconds.

“Why the hell don’t you test my father, the emperor?” Li Hong said as he tried to push Yang Wu aside and barge in. Hua Meng and Xia Zhi watched helplessly.

Their large aircraft boasted several times the thrust of his fighter and had stealth capabilities. To fight such a stealthy giant plane was undoubtedly courting death.

Because of his frail body, Li Mao valued the word “stability” greatly. Against popular opinion, he set the city bureau in the southwestern corner of the city—said to have poor feng shui but geographically very stable—occupying an entire ward, which was thus renamed the City Bureau Ward.

It was clear that this bald fat man belonged to Lu Huahua’s gang. Since Lu Huahua was bullied, someone naturally leaked the news. Within just over ten minutes, the bald man arrived with several henchmen.

“My lord! Your servant has not failed!” Cao Ren and Xun Yao hurried directly to Cao Ang’s side, both swiftly dismounting and bowing with clasped fists.

Xing Zi was shocked and urgently ordered a retreat, relocating all wealthy merchants and households from the city before setting fire, burning Zizhou to the ground.

Such an ordeal was brutal. He had fantasized countless times about reuniting with Ouyang Yunduo—a warm, loving scene—never imagining it would be a parting of life and death.

Now the envoy from the Taiqing Immortal Sect had arrived. Compared to Lingquan Immortal Sect, Taiqing was like a giant. Lingquan truly lacked any standing to challenge Taiqing.

Suddenly, the students playing and watching basketball nearby all turned their attention toward them.

On this vast sea, nature’s power was no joke. Even top-tier experts couldn’t guarantee survival through some terrifying natural disasters.

Unless they could launch satellites in the game, finding a way into the Avira sea area in the short term was impossible.

“Don’t worry about that. Hurry up and pick your hero,” Li Zhihao urged without explanation.

She took out her phone to call a colleague, but at that moment, Ye Ying snatched it away.

In an instant, Li Ping’an flipped his wrist, grasping the black short horn beside the dark night’s neighboring star’s eye and gently twisted it.

Though he loved beauties, with a wife at home, he found it hard to flirt with other women in peace—this was his inner conflict.

Li Ping’an’s fist was only as thick as one finger of the Ape King. With one punch, his fist drove deep into the Ape King’s finger, embedding itself into the bone.

However, this was far better than expected. The elders were old and bound to pass away eventually, so they felt less grief and more relief at still being alive.

When Wang Hai arrived in the Land of Harmony, he did not penetrate deeply but challenged Kaido in the air at the border.

“Oppa~ I’m hungry too. Let’s go eat,” Li Shungui coquettishly looked at Li Zhihao, blinking cutely.

Sharp-eyed onlookers saw Lin Xiao and Xi Luo jump down together. Though Lin Xiao was hated by many, countless people breathed a sigh of relief—clearly, as long as Lin Xiao was around, that giant Golem was no real threat.

Lin Mo noticed his vigorous spirit and military bearing; he was clearly a soldier. His eagle-like, piercing gaze carried an intense, almost haunting resentment.

As for Yue Ru’s problem, it was more difficult—a congenital condition not easily cured.

“I am Lu Xiuyan. Today’s donation of ten million to the school was on behalf of my wife. I thank the school for nurturing her during her undergraduate years and for giving her this teaching opportunity.”

This time, he refused Liang Ran’s medicinal diet. Liang Ran’s four meals a day were all prepared by him personally, using fresh ingredients to make healthy home-cooked dishes.

The Shen family had few relatives. Madam Shen Jiangqiao’s natal family lived in the northern city; only her brother occasionally came over, so most of the twenty tables were filled with Shen Jiangqiao’s colleagues and friends.

Seeing Shen Ningxuan smile faintly and nod at him as usual, he sighed helplessly and turned back to carefully observe Shen Hongtao’s features.

“So, you want to recover your memory now?” Amnesia was mysterious—the brain’s structure too complex. When one forgets or recalls is beyond human control.

That day, when she saw Chen Yuhan holding Li Ruowei, rolling on the bed she had slept on, she felt as if her heart shattered.
