Tang’s army gradually retreated back to camp, and upon returning, they ceased further withdrawal. They faced off against the pursuing Goguryeo soldiers along the banks of the Liao River. The rain blurred the sky, casting a misty veil over the scene. In that fleeting moment, a profound silence settled between the two sides, each awaiting the command to advance.

“Enough talk,” Nie Yuanfang felt the omnipresent shadow growing heavier, pressing upon him so suffocatingly that he struggled to breathe.

Currently, the Qicaishi Group, having far surpassed all other global enterprises in the aerospace field—especially in space exploration—stood unmatched, even by the United States or Arctic nations. Thus, Qicaishi had become the world’s leader in cosmic exploration.

As a mage, Master Deji’s tireless research was motivated not only by loyalty to the alien artifacts but also by personal ambition. He yearned to one day receive the highest honors from the alien world, to earn its recognition and supreme glory.

Meanwhile, within the space agency, their nation showcased its most advanced artificial intelligence, robotics, ultra-precision CNC machine tools, and a host of other cutting-edge technologies, boosting the confidence of their people.

“Really! Only the top sister can explain this—why didn’t she tell me?” Chihiro resolved that the technique to unleash chakra bursts should never be used casually. If employed, one must control its strength and remain mindful.

Yiyi was caught in a dilemma: agreeing or refusing to continue her conversation with Yukari Yakumo. She rarely spoke with Yukari, not for lack of desire, but because every time they did, Yukari would subtly hint at abilities, which left Yiyi mentally exhausted.

“...How are you so sure? Maybe she’s just a younger sister or a relative,” Xingzi chuckled upon hearing it.

“Do you have a computer? Let me check your previous songs first, to see if there’s anything suitable for you to perform.” Li Linlang kept a wary eye on things to avoid accidentally replicating any of Li Ronghao’s past compositions, which would be embarrassing and risky if suspicion arose.

“Well then, Yiyi! We celebrated your birthday together, right? Do you remember that song you sang for me—‘Wife, Wife, I Love You’? I still remember the melody!” Ju Jingwa exclaimed.

Suddenly, reinforcements appeared behind the Yellow Turban Army—over twenty thousand strong. Their unexpected arrival completely caught Cheng Yu off guard, leaving him stunned.

He immediately recounted in detail how he was captured by Ao Hai and taken to Dragon Transformation Island to train with his son, and how he killed the half-demon. Naturally, many sensitive details were omitted.

This outcome left Yuan Shao and Cao Cao utterly speechless, unable to believe that a renowned general from Hebei was unhorsed within a single round. Xia Feng’s martial prowess was truly extraordinary.

Only now did he realize that the remnants of his consciousness were but violent primal instincts, incapable of rational thought—only mindless devouring—which had caused him to be absorbed into the Demon Soul Nail.

Han Qingyun accepted the pill, revealing it to be a fifth-grade medicinal pill called Spirit Core Pill, which she immediately fed to Ye Tianyu.

The Yellow Turban Army’s first assault was repelled after suffering hundreds of casualties. Yet the government forces also lost dozens in the brutal battle.

“Sister...” Su Xianxian’s face was filled with concern, her eyes glancing at the flustered Tian Chunfang nearby and a man in military attire. Instantly, her gaze turned venomous and calculating.

Gao Ping scrambled to his feet and fled. Huang Zhong aimed at him, but the bandits were numerous, with many shielding Gao Ping. Huang Zhong ignored this and shot an arrow directly at Gao Ping.

Zhao Yun waited for a long time but saw no further Yellow Turban troops emerge, so he spurred his horse and returned to the main camp.

The doctor thought Shen Qingge was simply happy about the child’s gender and paid no special attention. After carefully explaining postpartum precautions, the doctor left with Qiao Yi.

The former most beautiful woman in the Qin dynasty still carried her charm... one look was unforgettable for life.

In the pure love category, “Old Lu” narrowly defeated “No Bull, No Play” with a slight margin.

Zhu Biao couldn’t help but take a longer look at Ji Boying, whose composure remained unchanged before the emperor’s wrath. This steadfast temperament alone surpassed many court officials. Regardless of whether Ji Boying truly possessed the mysterious ability to foresee the future, he was a rare talent.

The only imperfection was that her tied-back, no-nonsense ponytail and solemn, focused expression slightly diluted her beauty.

“Senior sister, take a nutrition bar first to stabilize your injuries. There’s no need to trouble yourself. I’m waiting for you to recover so I can take you to meet the new partner I found.”

Amosta turned and stood in front of a dark pipe in the washroom, from which a foul wind surged outward. His gaze held appreciation. Through his magical sight, he saw the magic nodes sustaining the pipe intertwined with the vast magical energy source of the entire castle.

Song Lian’s white eyebrows knitted, his eyes reflecting not joy but confusion, for he knew nothing of the term “chief minister” and had no record of such an office in the current dynasty.

On Li Ao’s side, the first session was full throttle, engaged in close combat throughout. He did experience fatigue, but after resting for half a session, he returned full of vigor.

Looking closely, there were no insects at all; the flailing arms were merely swatting at empty air.

But Chen Luo could clearly tell them this was no guesswork—it truly existed.

Qin Fan had little contact with him, but Wang Funian, entrusted by Chen Bancheng, knew that Qin Fan seemed to possess formidable powers. When Qin Fan suddenly reached out, Wang Funian, knowing Qin Fan preferred not to act personally, eagerly came running.

The water boy’s words were solemn. Gao Yang naturally felt some alarm but, faced with the situation, said nothing more. After nodding, Gao Yang pushed open the door and entered. Just as he stepped inside, the door behind him was suddenly closed by the water boy.
