Volume 1, Chapter 59: Precise Procrastination

They looked at each other in dismay. If they followed their inner desires, they would have turned around and fled immediately. However, military discipline was as unyielding as a mountain. If they truly did that, regardless of the ultimate outcome, they would face unimaginably terrifying punishment.

The master of the Border Gate turned and left immediately. When the blood-transforming elder spoke, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, making it clear to the gate master that this man was unreliable. If he were truly grateful, his eyes would not hold such an expression.

Throughout the journey, everything Hua Nongying thought about was connected to Mu Jun. Mu Jun endured cold glares and disdain among the princes and nobles; previously in the palace, he had the support of Consort Lingyi, which gave him some standing. Now, without that backing, he would likely have to drain the cup of human warmth and coldness entirely on his own.

Judging from the phone call, Bailongfei's end was in absolute chaos. It seemed the villagers were everywhere, directing their skepticism at Zhao Tiehu. It appeared that side urgently required his presence to take charge of the situation; otherwise, Zhao Tiehu would likely be torn apart on the spot by the enraged villagers.

The figure encased within the block of ice was none other than Han Longyuan, who had escaped after his duel with the leader of the Heaven-Exterminating Alliance.

Fate is truly a marvelous thing. She had thought she would spend the rest of her life in the deep palace carrying a grudge against them, but the Emperor's care and affection gradually blew away the resentment in her heart. Just when she thought she too could attain happiness, the heavens once again played a cruel trick on her.

The head of security gave Xie Yunhu a disdainful look, placed his hands behind his back, walked back to his desk, picked up a newspaper, and began reading it unconcernedly.

After starting the car, Lin Yingxue did not drive off immediately. Instead, she stared blankly at the steering wheel, which instantly filled my heart with a profound sense of unease.

Sleeping these past few days had been the same. Mu Xuanchen would feign sleep, waiting for Gu Wanshan to continuously stroke and poke his face with her hand. Only when she was certain he was right beside her and had fallen asleep would he open his eyes and meticulously pull the quilt over her.

Just as the netizens thought their scheme had succeeded, the individual who originally proposed the idea burst into loud laughter and mercilessly mocked everyone.

Originally, Fu Yiqin's birth from the Marquis of Changle's estate commanded a certain level of respect, but unfortunately, since the Marquis's estate had incurred the Emperor's stern reprimand, it naturally lacked its former glory.

The mountain breeze atop Stone Mountain blew incessantly. The wooden house remained unchanged, and the doors of the Myriad Mechanism Pavilion within it stayed wide open.

Liu Bei nodded. As they spoke, a band of routed soldiers came sprinting toward them from the distance. Judging by their attire and armor, they were undoubtedly Jingzhou soldiers, albeit in an extremely disheveled state.

The First Elder reached out with a wave of his hand, and a mass of floating black filth on the surface of the water rose into mid-air, coming to a halt right in front of him.

Though they had just been discussing Mr. Guo's divination, he abruptly shifted the topic to the trip to Yueyang Tower. Fu Minghua wanted to say that she had already made arrangements with Xie Shuyan, but seeing his constricted pupils, hostile expression, and a gaze that seemed ready to devour her, she nodded instead.

Seeing this, the rest of the group instantly blasted backward, simultaneously drawing their weapons, shouting in unison, and charging forward once again.

Especially upon seeing the Sheng family's estate—a grand mansion with towering gates. Riding in the carriage all the way there, Madam Song was already immensely impressed by the residences in the capital. The mansions were built tall and wide, with bustling crowds moving through the vermilion gates, making it a world of difference compared to the faded, peeling red doors of the Song family residence in Chang'an.

Through the images transmitted by the cameras, nearly everyone laid eyes on the Yuefu poem whose ink was not yet fully dry.

In a short while, dozens of jade tallies were successfully duplicated. He concealed them in his innermost storage pouch and walked out with a natural demeanor.

After hanging up the phone, Ziji knew he definitely couldn't go. Putting everything else aside, he couldn't even clear the hurdle of his own father, let alone manage to bring anyone along.

Now, due to this Celestial-tier equipment, Andy's strength had risen once again. Perhaps defeating him would require reaching level 100 and equipping Celestial-tier gear. Of course, Spirit-tier equipment wouldn't appear by then either—it wouldn't show up until at least level 115.

"If that's the case..." Hearing this, Zhu Qing felt that Yu'er's words made some sense, but thinking about what she needed to do gave her a headache. "What you say makes sense, but wouldn't it be rather difficult to gather all the fishermen together?" The fishing villages were scattered far and apart, making centralization quite challenging.

"Let's go, come out with me and take a look." Rising abruptly from the soft couch, Dong Zhuo strode out.

I drove the car provided by Ziji and led my men all the way back to CZ City. The moment I entered CZ City, I felt a deep sense of relief in my heart. I didn't linger in the city and headed straight for the mountain.

Spatial rings were extremely precious and none possessed one in the outer courtyard. Even the one on Fang Zhu's hand did not truly belong to him; it was merely temporarily borrowed from the inner courtyard solely for the purpose of holding these prizes.

Shen Shiyi looked at his profile, knowing this meant Murong Di was slowly beginning to accept everything she had done.

After hearing this, Chen Yu muttered inwardly: The person with the worst interpersonal relationships in the entire village was probably Madam Hu. She was lazy, gluttonous, eccentric, sharp-tongued, petty, and could not bear to see anyone else fare even slightly well.

Upon entering the enormous cavern, Andy discovered the ice-bound Goblin King, surrounded by heavy chains with no signs of the ice melting anywhere.

Habs now hung out his tongue, wearing a pair of sunglasses identical to Tony Stark's, and sported a pair of large yellow swim trunks around his waist. The man and dog marched forward with the poise of runway models, accompanied by a matching background music track.

The reason Qin Shuhuai suggested inviting Liu Feng to the opening ceremony was twofold: first, Liu Feng was an ardent supporter of high-speed railways, particularly high-speed wheelsets.

Furthermore, the Thirty-First Railway Bureau still had a deputy bureau chief who specifically oversaw production, and he was currently serving as the construction command headquarters director for the Seventh Section.

"Who is your sister-in-law!" Han Xue and Leishan blurted out in unison. Then, the two exchanged glances, both realizing that there must have been some misunderstanding here.

A raging fire of fury burned within Leifeng's heart. He did not blame Tushan Yue, because she lacked the power to sway the decisions of the higher-ups among the beastly tribes. He could also understand the behavior of the beasts; the world naturally operated on the law of the jungle, but Great Qin was his home.

Everyone, already dissatisfied with the Flood Dragon Gang, immediately joined the attack upon seeing Lin Luo's assault.

Under normal circumstances, Lin might have engaged in further exploration, but right now, it was imperative to transport the creatures from above to a safe location.

The diary of the Mad Scholar was practically a record of battle achievements, but everything changed after he encountered Consort Jiangming.

She knew very well what she ought to do at this moment. This snake had surpassed her capabilities, and before it could cause even greater destruction, she had to summon the elves.
