Chapter 45: The Grudge of Wife-Stealing

When the afternoon arrived and all the paperwork was finally completed, that Audi Q5 could officially and worry-free take to the road.

Qin Han nodded, exchanged some casual pleasantries, and first led Aiai Mo back to his own room.

The most fundamental objective was to boost morale; further progress would allow for the elimination of enemy powerhouses, thereby increasing the survival rate of the allied warriors.

Cai Hanmin's mother also worked at the hospital and got off work very late on weekdays, which was why Cai Hanmin usually had to handle dinner on his own.

With this settled, however, Qin Han's matters were basically resolved, and he just needed to wait for the quartermaster from the borderlands to assign them a camp.

However, that was temporarily unfeasible for the moment. Lin Xi tested it with origin power, but it had no effect. Perhaps this contract possessed an anti-origin power mechanism, making Lin Xi instantly realize how very little she actually knew.

His figure bent at a ninety-degree angle and veered sharply to the left, dodging the two dark spirit wolves on the right. Infusing the Vajra Smash with the force of reversing hardness with softness, he struck fiercely from the side at the head and neck of the left spirit wolf.

"Ting-a-ling." The wind chimes rang incessantly as a translucent force field suddenly erected beside the arena. Immediately afterward, beams of light slammed fiercely against the force field with a crackling roar, wildly unleashing their terrifying and peerless might. Yet the force field remained entirely motionless. Amidst the blinding radiance, a dark shadow suddenly flashed, rapidly sprinting toward a corner of the arena.

For ordinary people, suffering from hyperthymesia is extremely painful, because a vast amount of useless, trivial memories consume too much brain capacity and drain an immense amount of energy. Instead of making a person smarter, it often makes them appear somewhat clumsy and sluggish in daily life, causing numerous drawbacks.

However, due to the relationship between Chu Jiangqiu and the Great Ming imperial court, Li Yinjixi could not openly marry Chu Jiangqiu.

Leng Yixiu gave a cold inner smile. Eighth Brother was indeed not as simple as he appeared on the surface—at the very least, his physical constitution was not. There was a faint sound of breathing coming from behind the curtains, which he had already heard upon entering. Since he was able to hide in there, it meant it was permitted by the Emperor; therefore, he might as well pretend to be completely unaware of it.

Hearing this bawdy joke, the Thunder Alliance members beneath the stage immediately burst into loud laughter, while Lei Shi's expression turned exceptionally ugly. Stomping heavily, he leaped into the air and charged straight toward Ye Fan.

A flash of surprise crossed Dugu Shan's face. Only now did she realize that her identity had long since been seen through by Li Si.

Before diving into the Spirit-Nurturing River, Ye Fan shared the same thought as the other trainees—that the violent factors within the river water were terrifyingly destructive.

If not for the fact that his primordial artifact was the True Dragon Primordial Ancestor, his body would probably have already been possessed by another.

Seeing that Prince Jin still remained silent, coupled with his growing favor toward his secondary consort, Liu Si no longer spoke with her former restraint.

A few seconds later, Xiao Shaofeng suddenly raised his arm, gently placed it on my shoulder, pulled me closer, and gathered me into his arms.

Yet Xiangxiang vividly remembered the look Mu Yin had just given Jian Feng. Jian Feng certainly was no great hero, but if one fell in love with him, he would undoubtedly make a good husband. Shaking her head, she smiled at herself for letting her imagination wander so far into the future.

In the pitch-black darkness, Xiniang accurately found the position of his lips. Her fiery passion dispelled the physical pain; she desired him as well, longing for a truly blissful union. When she lay upon Mu Qing's bed, she had even thought that after a single night of warmth, they would part ways and go their separate ways, letting Mu Qing grant her a single, perfect romance to last a lifetime.

She had originally expected mother and son to watch Xiangxiang dance together, but as it happened, it rained one day, and on another, Imperial Consort Xian fell gravely ill. The two of them guarded the consort's bedside without leaving for even a moment, occasionally exchanging glances and pouring all their lingering affection into those silent looks.

Since the hills ended right there, not many people could be concealed ahead. After some deliberation, Wei Yan and Shamoke decided to deploy all archers at the front. Once the archers initiated the attack, the main army in the rear, hearing the commotion, would charge directly forward.

Then, for some unknown reason, a half-meter-tall porcelain vase suddenly toppled from the high platform, crashing right beside Tao Xiaohong's feet and shattering instantly into pieces. Tao Xiaohong froze on the spot, and immediately afterward, two waitresses surrounded her, claiming she had broken the porcelain and demanding compensation.

Zhuo Lengxi's every move appeared somewhat astonishing in the eyes of the others. When they first saw her arrive, they had assumed she was merely there to watch the sidelines, yet as the process unfolded, she proved to be even more formidable than they were.

"Why are you here? Weren't you told to stay put and prepare for childbirth?" Zhang Potian asked with a somewhat reproachful tone.

Yun Duo'er was overjoyed. To her, the people she loved the most were undoubtedly Zhuo Lengxi and Yun Yang. Parental affection came too easily to be truly cherished, and as for her eldest brother, he was so many years older than her and carried a dark past, so truth be told, she wasn't particularly close to him.

Roar... The Divine Mage avatar roared repeatedly. Having suffered multiple blows in succession, it was already consumed by fury and utterly thrown into disarray. Its blazing eyes swept around, eager to tear Leng Feng into a thousand pieces. Like a surging tide, the wraiths rushed forward, utterly fearless of death, launching a crazed assault accompanied by earth-shattering shrieks.

"Let us welcome our hero with the warmest applause!" Leng Rufeng took the lead in clapping, and the others followed suit. Everyone put their hearts into it, delivering thunderous applause amidst a high-spirited atmosphere.

Although the immediate crisis had not yet been resolved, I understood that this matter had essentially come to a definitive close.

"..." The middle-aged woman looked startled, drawing in a sharp breath. Wearing an expression of utter shock and profound complexity, the gaze she directed toward Zhuo Lengxi actually carried a hint of pity.
