29 The Fifth Person
Lu Xiaoxiao’s voice drifted from the speaker. Hearing her, Fu Siting couldn't help but chuckle, his voice deep and melodic.
Zheng Dong stopped paying attention to Liu Quan’s shuffling and dealing, his gaze fixed on Zhan Ying, attempting to detect something amiss.
Li Yunhong’s voice was so loud that Gu Yan, sitting beside Mo Yichen, could hear her clearly; she simply lowered her head, saying nothing.
Manla checked the message Gu Yan had sent her once more: the room was 502 on the fifth floor. She looked at the high heels she was wearing and breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness it wasn't on the tenth floor or higher; that would have truly been the death of her.
In the border regions of the Khitan territory, the Song Dynasty had long forbidden the populace from farming, leaving the area desolate and uninhabited. The Khitan army formed a front two miles wide and entered Song territory in a very short time. After regrouping on the opposite bank of the river, they marched straight south under the leadership of Yelu Funu.
To him, ordinary spatial rifts should not pose much of a threat. The middle-aged warrior likely held the same belief, which was why he dared to take the risk and gamble on it.
Chen Qian burst into tears instinctively. "What happened? I clearly packed it inside—where did it go!" She wept bitterly, preparing to rummage through the two duffel bags on the floor again.
Back then, in the underground base of Migu Qin'er, only Alice, the Blue Hero of the Fantastic Four, had survived Bagi Josen's remote blood-draining technique.
The process went so smoothly that they could hardly believe it. The ferocious beasts they encountered were not strong, and with Tang Lin and the Azure Snake of Departing Fire there, these creatures were essentially delivering gold and jade to them on a silver platter.
No matter how capable Feng Jinglan was, she did not possess the power to bring the dead back to life, so she had to reach the person first and seize the initiative.
That man could no longer be described merely as handsome. Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, she had never seen such a perfect man. His cold, sharp features, his aloof and noble aura, and even the flicker of disdain in his eyes when he glanced at the camera—everything about him made one want to scream.
"I am here." Yun Zhaoying walked from behind Xu Xian to stand before Momo. He gazed at her, waiting for her to speak.
Liu Shi'er shook his head slightly, sat on the edge of the bed, reached out to press his fingers against Gu Xiaoshuang’s pulse, and closed his eyes.
"Momo, I have always been willing." Naze did not know whether to be happy or worried. He was happy that Momo was no longer truly dwelling on past mistakes, but worried because he did not know how to explain things to her. He was not even entirely certain of his own identity at the moment, and clearly, his mother-in-law did not intend to tell him, hoping he would figure it out himself.
In fact, after hearing Annie’s complaint about him, Anda was full of resentment. He desperately wanted to know which sharp-tongued fellow had actually tasted the difference in the seasoning oil. However, in the days I entered the game afterward, no one in the Queen’s Suite ever ordered steak again, because Annie was a vegetarian.
Yet, even if he truly wanted to eat, he knew it had to be with my permission. If I didn't nod, at most he could only 'lick' a bit to satisfy his craving; he wouldn't dare to be presumptuous.
Lan Zhi spoke up suddenly. She saw things much more clearly than Chu Feng and could perceive the hidden intentions of Ling Hongluo. She had no intention of saving face for her; now that every helper counted, she had no more inhibitions.
After a few exchanges, Old Kui suddenly let out a loud shout: "Yunhai, Yunfeng, turn and run!" Old Kui swung his wolf-tooth mace to obstruct the black shadow, then turned and charged back, with the black shadow in hot pursuit.
Shen Bingbing looked at the back of Lin Fei as he walked away into the distance, a triumphant expression appearing on her face.
"I didn't encounter any disaster; my dangers were all blocked by you. Your guards are excellent; they protected Jinxuan and me very well." Compared to Murong Kai’s calm, Aman was still visibly shaken.
Just imagine: what would it be like to see a giant white rat standing before you, dressed in a shirt and vest?
Anger surging, Yue Chu truly wanted to chase everyone out of the room just to have a moment of peace.
At this moment, one could see Xu Kongkong pressing one hand against the broken end of the stone spear, pouring his power into it in rolling waves; his expression grew grave.
"I am the overall champion of the national police shooting competition. I have confidence in my marksmanship," Zhang Xiaoyun said coolly, though in reality, the hand holding her gun was still trembling.
She had never promised anything, nor had she ever hinted at anything—why did it sound as if it were all her fault?
"Get out! What exactly is going on? Explain it clearly!" Zi An bristled with rage. Suddenly, another love rival appeared, and without the slightest warning.
While driving, he kept a wary eye on Lin Feng beside him. Ever since witnessing Lin Feng’s power earlier, a sense of fear had involuntarily taken root; he didn't even dare to look at Lin Feng casually, fearing he might invite disaster.
The Empress found it difficult to speak. Baoxin was ostensibly speaking on her behalf; could she really refute her and offer up the Kunning Palace?
A sound of incomprehensible words erupted from the BOSS’s throat. Immediately after, a flash of blue light enveloped the entire area, and every member of the team suddenly bore a debuff icon above their heads labeled [Interrupted Meditation].
That night, filled with fear, cold, and a strange sense of joy—a mix of five flavors stirred together—the experience was one only those who had endured it could truly understand.
