Chapter 110: The Agony of Losing One’s Wife
As previously recounted, Hao Mengdie ordered her demon soldiers to open the fortress gates to welcome the righteous army inside.
The demon soldiers brought by Hu Yingfei were instantly stunned. Raising their blades and spears, they prepared to charge at Hao Mengdie!
Xiao Ling and Mu Shijin raised their single-edged blades to shield Hao Mengdie, locking into a standoff with them.
Xu Yaozu shouted sternly, "Anyone who dares to move will end up just like your commander Hu Yingfei—decapitated!"
At that moment, Hao Mengdie’s own demon soldiers swarmed forward, tightly encircling them.
Hao Mengdie called out loudly, "Soldiers, do not sacrifice your lives for the Great Sage Golden Ape any longer! In these decades of warfare, how many of our people in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom have perished? And you, soldiers..."
However, this caused the main army's pace to suffer; the journey through the Elf Forest, which would have taken only ten days at full speed, dragged on for nearly a month.
It turned out that when Shi Zhibang received the report from Shi Keyun’s subordinates and learned the full story, he—a veteran of many battles—immediately grasped the gravity of the situation. He ordered those escorting Mengzhu and the others to turn the carriages around at once and send them back to Yunzhou.
The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight touched the magnificent plaque of the Prince Rui Mansion, two carriages pulled up to the front gate, one after the other.
Song Donghu could only rub his hands in awkward laughter, feeling embarrassed for himself while also experiencing a sense of powerlessness—and perhaps a flicker of expectation—at Xiang Yu’s sudden transformation.
She collapsed onto her bed in her loose pajamas, looking exhausted as she stared at the high ceiling, feeling as if she had been brought back from the dead.
Ling Yu smiled as he observed Li Hanmin. Li Hanmin’s face was somewhat pale, yet he remained standing perfectly still, though a faint sheen of sweat appeared on his brow.
"Could this truly be a warning left by the founding emperor for future monarchs? But why use Huang Chao?" Old Fu muttered to himself.
Not far away, Xie Junhe’s sword and Shen Yanfei’s spear were locked together, evenly matched. There were no other figures in sight.
Rather than trapping himself in a dilemma, it was better to risk it all. If he could withstand this blow, he could seize the momentum to launch a counterattack, break his opponent’s formidable aura, and decide the outcome of the match.
Yet in this situation, the moment Xia Haitong stepped out, she would be gunned down. The enemy had vehicles, while they were on foot; how could they possibly escape?
The cats that had been surrounding the Samoyed retreated rapidly upon seeing so many dogs. Hearing the commotion, other cats, led by a large tabby, quickly rushed over.
He had fantasized countless times that they might meet again, but he never imagined it would happen under such circumstances.
The priest looked troubled and signaled his men to question the elder, who hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Brother Yun, Sister Shui, and all you sisters, I thank you for your good intentions!" After hearing their advice, Mo Wentian pondered for a few moments before shaking his head with a bitter smile.
In these circumstances, Qin Wuyan was naturally reluctant to use such precious medicinal pills while still in the initial stage of consolidating his foundation; it would have been too great a loss.
As soon as the words were spoken, Zhang Kuo’s legs were engulfed in a large mass of blue mist, and he flew in pursuit of Ximen Lingqiao.
"So, the Captain is trying to tell me that the S.E.E.R. is acting on someone else's request and had no choice?!" Wang Shi did not wait for the projector to return to its original state, questioning him impatiently.
The thick hair at her intimate parts fanned out neatly, appearing as though it were yearning for comfort.
"They will come. Eat something first; you need strength to play chess," Zhang Qi immediately corrected himself.
Liu Guang walked silently toward the space temporarily set aside as an office. A part of his chest felt as if it were being constantly tugged—not exactly a sharp pain, but a tearing sensation that left him unable to find peace.
"I said let’s find a place! The story is so long, how could I finish it in a moment?" Rose protested with a pout.
"Just as I intended!" A fox-like, sinister smile appeared on his face as Aotian handed the three pieces of Dragon Envoy equipment over to the system.
They drove all the way to the hospital. Along the way, Fu Chengjue had already called ahead to ensure everything was prepared. The moment the car stopped at the hospital entrance, doctors and nurses who had been waiting there rushed over with a stretcher to receive them.
