Chapter 70 Selecting Candidates

Madam Zhou was truly indulgent toward her son, giving him whatever he desired, even if it meant handing over five pretty maidservants.

"The maids in our household are all born and raised here, and there might be one or two who are quite pretty. However, whether they are willing to follow you still requires asking their opinions; you must not force anyone against their will."

As the dignified Third Young Master of the Zhao family, if he were to acquire a reputation for coercion and something untoward happened as a result, it would be a tremendous loss of face. From then on, he simply wouldn't be able to—

Yet now, hearing those people admit it with their own ears, she carefully reflected, and over the past two days, the Lord indeed seemed to have changed somewhat.

Nan Lingyue felt a sharp pain in her head. She had not expected Feng Xuanyin to be so arrogant; not only did she fail to show respect upon seeing her, but she even dared to deliberately bump into her.

Fortunately, the matter had been satisfactorily resolved for the most part. The majority of the elders agreed with Huang Zitao's approach of withdrawing to the main headquarters, and the elders currently remaining in S City were also retreating back to Qinghuai one after another.

As for unifying the Demon Clan, the Heavenly Demon King did not dare to harbor such wild ambitions, but if it were truly as Murong Fuguo claimed—unifying the Three Thousand Star Islands of the Demon Clan—there might actually be a chance.

Bai Yu felt his heart melt entirely. He gently stroked Feng Yuetong's nose with his finger, smiled softly, and then took her by the hand to help her up.

As for Lantian, the greater part of his day was spent sitting before an easel, painting all sorts of scenes: mountains, waters, clouds, the sun—everything he saw or imagined in his mind.

Feng Linlu glared fiercely at Feng Wuli with a menacing expression. If this fellow weren't his father, he would have directly planted a kick on him.

Some of the Later Jin troops began setting houses ablaze, but lacking firewood and grease to fuel the flames, it took time for the fires to catch fully. Meanwhile, the ambush troops hidden within the houses kept firing without interruption, continuously harvesting the lives of the Later Jin cavalry. Liu Ting's forces on the western side advanced rapidly, throwing the Later Jin troops into complete chaos.

Gu Zeyan was not a man to meddle in other people's business, but giving Ji Tiantian that warning was entirely out of fear that if she really ate something bad, Gu Tingjue would turn the household upside down once again.

Zhang Wen shifted his gaze to Yu Qinxin, looking into her eyes. He said nothing, yet his silence spoke volumes.

Who could have foreseen that she would grow up to be so talented and breathtakingly beautiful, only to have her life plagued by endless misfortunes?

Tong En extended a hand to invite Jerry to take a seat in the guest section, and then seated herself right beside him.

Although his insight was not as vast as Elder Di's, within the entire restaurant, this was the only item that had made his father exercise such extreme caution.

I caught the ball, took one step inside the three-point line, and pulled up for a mid-to-long-range jump shot.

It was just that too many people were unwilling to pierce the illusion or ponder it deeply. Now, confined within this courtyard with no knowing when—or if—they would ever see a turnaround, the person who spoke those words and the person who heard them shared an identical freedom from the psychological burdens of ordinary days.

The river surface here at Xiangyang was blockaded, leaving the enemy forces with no other route if they wished to return to Yangzhou.

At this moment, Young Master Mu gazed at that mass of gas, a bluish gleam flashing in his eyes—the kind unique to a high-level lecher. Such primordial essence of heaven and earth, if swallowed, would undoubtedly elevate his cultivation to yet another level.

"Hmph! So this is a Coordinator! Aside from having abilities just a tiny bit higher, there is no qualitative progress compared to a Natural! They haven't even overcome the basic vicious habit of mutual discrimination among humans, yet they fancy themselves Newtypes! It kills me!" Colt said indignantly inside the car on the way to their residence.

Why be unwilling to admit it? Doesn't the disappearance of existence imply something even more regrettable than death? If Chachamaru's feeling was real, didn't it mean someone familiar to her had met with a misfortune?

Super Electromagnetic Spin's analysis sounded somewhat plausible, but this only stirred up another question in Rentaro's mind. This time, it was an indigenous resident of Academy City who answered him.

Those permitted to remain in the Suppression Demon Division were all formidable experts or individuals with the potential to become experts.

More than a dozen security officers alighted from the vehicles. At the head of the group were two men, one of whom was a young man. The moment this young security officer stepped out of the vehicle, he saw the members of the Wu family sprawled across the ground in grotesque postures—some weeping, some cursing, some screaming, and many bearing visible injuries.
