The Qing soldiers, forced into hiding by the cannon fire from the opposite bank, suddenly leapt out from their cover to engage in close-quarters combat with the Ming troops.

A lean middle-aged man paced anxiously by the doorway, his brows deeply furrowed, burdened with heavy thoughts.

Wei Feng and his comrades shouted loudly; among their training routines, their favorite was combat ranking matches, while their least favorite was recoil control drills.

“Who dares call me that? Who is so suicidal?” Upon hearing the nickname, Charlotte on the phone instantly grew furious. Though she was indeed overweight, she detested being addressed in such a manner.

After driving back to the company, Lin Yi’s first task was to hold a meeting. Since Gan Zhenggang had just returned from Hangzhou, and many familiar faces were present, those absent joined online through a livestream.

“So that’s how it is. I wondered why Fei’er died such a tragic death, and why the Haining Public Security Agency covered up the case, even pushing him to be the overseer of a bar street!” Shangguan Yun mused thoughtfully, eyes narrowing to slits.

Belmod felt a flicker of fear. While she momentarily eased her murderous intent, she quietly planned to find time to ask her fellow disciple, Kudou Yukiko, about the situation.

But trouble stirred when bounty-carrying pirates caused a ruckus. Before the navy arrived, any slight misstep could have led to the destruction of this place. Previously, a nearby shop had been ruined by the pirates’ disturbance.

Thus, the five members of the XY team trained daily whenever they had time during the day, with physical conditioning continuing at night, following Li Xiaoyao’s plan for a week.

With no other choice, the group left the hotel; Huang Xuan abandoned Feng Chong and the others, taking Ling Bo to the Auto City.

In the shadowy world, fire elements were divided into two factions, seemingly at odds, perhaps mutual rivals, yet engaged in some form of communication.

At that moment, Dilumdu felt again the suffocating sensation as if surrounded by sludge, but this time the sludge seemed to push him in a certain direction. After some thought, he decided not to resist this force.

At that moment, the curtains surrounding the hall were drawn, and the lights were extinguished. The wonderfully romantic wedding march began to play.

“Gongjin, you know well that the Jizhou army has been frequently repositioned lately, and Yuan Benchun seems inclined to deploy troops. If war truly breaks out, how could the Tiger Guard be without Dian?” The elder’s words compelled Xiao Yi and Dian Wei to comply, yet they still hesitated to leave the Tiger Guard. Dian Wei spoke to Zhou Yu with reluctance, unwilling to depart.

In Jiang Hua’s heart, anyone who could dine alone with Tang Yan and Luo Xin must be either extremely wealthy or noble.

“Alright, then do as you say. Arrange it,” Fenghuang Wu nodded, unbothered by the matter. After all, if anyone mistakenly wandered into the maze, they wouldn’t be able to come out. But if they starved inside, having been married just three days, it would be terribly inauspicious.

“Big sister, who are these two kids?” Xiao Feng’s mother asked in surprise, her eyes never leaving Li Bingbing’s two braided pigtails and dark sunglasses. Such an appearance, to these traditional elders, could only mean one thing: crazy.

Stealing, like drug use, is addictive. Once dependent on gaining without effort, it is difficult to quit. With this said by Dishu, his determination was clear.

“You should be able to save Miss Luochen. I heard Ling Xiu has already been cured,” Ye Han sat down on the ground, staring at the elder and inquiring.

“Crack, crack, crack.” When attention was drawn, the souls’ flames in several undead’s eye sockets had already extinguished, and a few of the undead collapsed into pieces.

The fierce battle intent burning in Hawkeye’s eyes was only deemed “not bad.” Christo attracted a few more glances due to his ears, but in terms of strength, he was not even noticed by Whitebeard.

Liu Liuliu couldn’t see her own expression at that moment. If she could, her face would surely be more flushed than after drinking—she could feel it vividly.

But just thinking about the complicated task awaiting her today gave her a massive headache.

Liu Liuliu felt her body growing hot, likely from having run so long without rest.

As for the others... the records showed nothing, and he could not determine their exact Rubik’s Cube skill levels.

The queen’s lips curled into an enigmatic smile. Despite her words and actions, not a trace of displeasure showed.

In the recent battle, he had already discerned that the bell and tower embodied multiple intertwined concepts.

Combined with his not particularly tall and imposing stature and relatively handsome visage, his performance seemed genuine. Even Margaret was moved... How could there be such a pitiable child?

After his trials in the Tianwu Continent, Lu Xian gained many insights. Upon arriving at the Penglai Continent, he found a scenic mountain and water spot to contemplate these revelations, planting an entire mountain of peach trees and daily meditating on the Way of Heaven.

Guo Jia also spoke of the arrangements involving Wei and Wu states, and likewise shared his own side’s plans.

Though the front had suffered a crushing defeat, as the prime minister of the Ming dynasty and supreme commander of the front, he could not simply halt at Baoding Prefecture, hundreds of miles away.

Now, he intended to elevate Wang Kui’s status as high as possible, so that if they lost later, the fall would be all the more disastrous.

Gu Yu watched Zhang Tianyi’s profile as he lowered his head to eat, her gaze constantly shifting. Suddenly, she realized that the not-so-handsome Zhang Tianyi possessed a rigid side profile, exuding a tough, iron-willed aura.
