Forty-Nine

As the leader of the Alliance of Yellow Races, the pressure on his shoulders was immense. This was the primary reason why Li Tuanjie was rather reluctant to take on the position of leader.

Meanwhile, these fighter mechas were playthings for wealthy aristocrats; for ordinary people, even getting to touch one was an unattainable dream.

The two of us remained locked in that embrace until I sensed someone entering the clinic, prompting me to release Lin Ruoxi. By then, I realized the newcomer was Liu Sitong.

When sensing the protective amulet, the information received did not specify the exact carrier material, stating only that it needed to be a material possessing spiritual resonance, with higher spirituality yielding the best amulet effects.

Stotts’s head was now twice its original size. At the time, he had been entirely preoccupied with the benefits winning the championship would bring him, completely failing to foresee the chaotic mess that would follow.

Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared nearby, revealing a youth dressed in cyan robes. Unlike others, the name above his head was displayed in strange red symbols. Beaming with a radiant smile, he offered her a bow and launched into a long speech.

Having ambition was nothing extraordinary, but the crucial thing was being able to clearly read the situation.

As a Morning Star Knight, Xiao Yu could feel the danger emanating from his opponent, tingling against his nerves.

Stepping out of the spaceship, a vast expanse of azure ocean immediately met the eyes, accompanied by a faint, salty sea breeze that rushed over them. True to being an aquatic species, the entire planet appeared to be covered in water at a single glance. Yao Si could not help looking around, eager to catch a glimpse of the legendary mermaids in person.

I whipped him intermittently for nearly ten minutes while Zhang Tong constantly dodged around. I simply discarded the whip and resorted to fists and kicks, though this was actually the most difficult part, as I had to simultaneously avoid vital spots and endure the pain.

The spring climate was pleasant with flowers blooming in full splendor. One by one, the unopened buds blossomed into sweet smiles like dreams and rosy clouds. A rich, overflowing fragrance filled the air. With a lightened heart, Qinghong watched Mu Qingyu depart and strolled toward the Bibo Lake in the south of the city.

"Fine, I should have known it would be like this. Whatever, since you've already made up your mind, I won't bother worrying about it." With that, Feixue turned and walked away.

PS3: The Three Kingdoms is a bloody nightmare to write. Fortunately, I established early on that this is a magic-modified version of the Three Kingdoms, allowing me to spout whatever nonsense I please. I am truly a genius.

Returning home, there was little inclination to go online. Several young women gathered in the living room with the lights turned off, choosing to watch a recently released movie. Although the film was hardly good and the actors' performances were practically agonizing to watch, the atmosphere itself felt remarkably comforting.

"I bear responsibility? What responsibility do I have? It's your own alms bowl that you failed to keep safe, what does that have to do with me? Why do you like shifting the blame and framing others?" Panyuhong looked at the monk with dissatisfaction and said.

As the last god of the North Sea, although Silviel's power was vastly inferior to the gods of Odin's era, it was still on a level with a qualitative gap compared to contemporary ability users. It was just that the opponents held a numerical advantage, and those who hadn't mastered their powers still cherished their lives.

Huang Lei was even more direct, while Ye Fantian simply stretched his fragile-looking posture, indicating that he was currently not qualified to join.

Scattered everywhere were severed limbs and bleached bones. Aside from those fortunate enough to escape, all that remained was a landscape littered with corpses.

Language and rhetoric form a profound discipline. Conveying the same meaning with different choices of words can result in either phrasing that makes you pay a penalty after answering or phrasing that makes someone want to immediately step up and punch you.

Karan stared fixedly at him without blinking, and a moment later, he suddenly said in a deep voice, "Yesterday, Jiang Lan and I encountered a mutant who could alter his appearance and impersonate us. He even knew many things he shouldn't have known."

"Why shouldn't I? Are you going to stop me?" Without pulling out his transformation device, Daigo assumed a defensive posture, ready to transform instantly the moment Fujimiya dared to stop him.

Cui Nong sat beside him, gazing at him with eyes brimming with melancholy, though it remained unclear whose sorrows weighed on her mind.

This abruptly startled Bingning's consciousness into a few degrees of alertness. Only then did she finally notice her own state, with her mind immersed in her sea of consciousness. Within her purple mansion, two external entities were actually locked in battle?

A somewhat fair-skinned, large hand lifted the carriage curtain, and Song Ruyu caught sight of Mo Cai's haggard face. Having not seen him for merely a day, he seemed to have grown a circle thinner, looking rather pitiful.

Of course, this number was far from the final tally, as large numbers of players were rushing to the scene at top speed.

"You're actually happy about robbery and plundering." Granny Huang glared at him, took the large hemp bag, opened it, and began taking out the contents one by one to sort and arrange them. The cramped space was instantly permeated with the rich aroma of cured meat and smoked sausage. At least they managed to get some meat this time.

With the other party's consent, Song Ruyu hastily instructed Suyan and Mo Cai to serve the midday meal, which had been reheated God knows how many times.

Having finished venting their anger, the two tacitly walked back into the room. As she closed the door, An Hao shot him a vicious glare.

"Switch to manual operation now. We must ensure the tail's propulsion engine and anti-gravity system are not attacked." Mr. Ishimuro decided to prioritize defense, shifting the majority of firepower to the rear while all combat aircraft sortied, determined to at least deter the monster even if they could not injure it.

The dozen fighter jets from the air force retreated after launching their carried missiles. They were merely making a cameo appearance to show presence; since higher-ups had not issued a rigid order to fight to the death, they were not foolish enough to press forward when defeat was certain, opting to fall back instead.

Char's assistant handed the contract directly to Ou Ting on the spot. Although the other competing runners-up wore displeased expressions, Ou Ting's commercial standing remained firmly established.

Samuel glanced at her, then turned his gaze back to the incubation chamber before him. The walls of the artificial womb were thick, translucent with a frosted texture, yet they did not obstruct the view of the general situation inside illuminated by the surrounding lights.

The police cars in Huanghai had been active all night, and Zhang Shan naturally learned of the matter. Last night, he had been staying at a private villa purchased in Huanghai with Guan Yanyan. To avoid prying eyes, this villa had been acquired in Huanghai rather than in Jundu, the location of the provincial party committee.

Currently, Lu Tianhen had to complete the first step: finishing the third-generation mecha before Asura breached the base.

Noon had already passed, and the long-absent sun finally broke out from behind the dark clouds. Although the temperature remained low, it managed to inspire a glimmer of hope in people's hearts.
