Chapter 137: Stealing the Golden Bell
The previous chapter recounted how Li Yiqing penetrated deep into enemy territory to rescue Murong Yan, and then returned to steal the golden bell and his weapon.
As soon as he entered the enemy camp, his heart fluttered with anxiety, and he thought to himself: Is this golden bell really so easy to steal?! The first time I stole it, it was taken back by the adversary, and if I go for a second time, I'm afraid Qin Yuanqingxi will be on his guard!
It seems I had better find Lord Li's weapon first!
Seeing a sentry standing guard in the distance, he quietly crept up behind him,
with a "thwack!"
he leaped onto his shoulders,
twisted the sentinel's neck with one hand, and tightly clamped his other hand over the man's mouth, barking in a low voice: "L-l-little... little fellow, d-d-don't move! If y-y-you so much as move..."
Making their way slowly southward all the way, the pace was so sluggish that it could practically be considered a snail's pace. Covering just thirty miles a day before making camp was, for human beings, indeed little different from crawling at a tortoise's speed.
His figure was slender yet tall, and his refined, fair countenance looked like God's most perfect work of art, with every single feature of his face just right, perfectly pleasing to the eye.
This business belongs to him, and his children's careers should be left for them to forge on their own. When the time comes, he will give each child fifty billion dollars; if they still cannot stand on their own two feet with that, it would be utterly useless even if he managed his own enterprise brilliantly and handed it over to them.
"Are they saying 'thank you'?" Melina's gaze closely followed that planet as she asked Sherlock.
Panning the screen, Yuan Chengxu pushed the holographic light panel toward Ruan Qinliu. Landscape design and the like were not his forte; his strong suit was creativity, capable of conceiving things that others could never anticipate.
He wanted to pull back the duvet, yet he was afraid of catching sight of a mortifying scene. Left with no other choice, he could only match wits with her beneath the blankets.
Therefore, once Anderson gave his approval, she went straight to arranging the manufacturing of the "Batmobile," the "Batcave," and even the "Batwing."
However, the government soldiers who arrived today were not the older brothers and uncles she was familiar with; every single face was completely unfamiliar. Without a doubt, Xue Huaiyuan's men had all been purged and replaced, and those remaining now were all submissive to the orders of the current "Lord."
Although she felt her understanding of him had been upended, she hadn't expected him to still possess a shred of conscience toward her, rather than blindly engaging in a bloodbath.
"Judging by what he expressed, he has precisely that intention..." Counselor Liao sighed. The mysterious special envoy ended up raving at length about unpredictable matters, which could be interpreted as issuing an official threat to Qingci.
Li Dachui let out a hearty laugh, and instantly the waterfall split right down the middle, revealing a passageway.
"Do you think what we're doing now counts as a date?" Liu Hao said while flipping through the menu.
The target of her spoiled pouting, however, had shifted from her parents to her husband. Since the two were betrothed, Annie had long regarded Lin Xifan as her husband.
"Don't steal my prey." The pilot of the Disaster Gundam was not to be outdone either. The most terrifying firepower among the three Gundams was unleashed all at once—missiles, beam cannons, and mega particle cannons bombarded the target together.
"Hmph, see that? If you two had been willing to spend a little more time on the child under normal circumstances, how could this kind of thing ever have happened? When have you ever seriously thought about spending a couple of days playing with the child?" Confronted with such a scene, Qin Zong said angrily to his son Qin Nan.
Natsuko Takaishi was a television reporter, after all; what kind of handsome star actors, high-ranking officials, and esteemed nobles hadn't she interviewed and witnessed? Yet she had never laid eyes on a man with such charisma and mesmerizing charm, simply breathtaking like a heavenly being.
"I am already overjoyed that Your Excellency Edward could grace us with your presence," said Mojik, Lord of the Dark Demon City, displaying utmost humility. At least the Dragon demon clan still had a lust-deity Asmodeus, whereas their Demon clan no longer had a single supreme deity left, so naturally they could no longer throw their weight around.
This was a low-profile family, yet back in the day, the dazzling brilliance of Tantai Wulian still left people in shock.
Hu Qiyan's body flickered, and without a single thought, he lunged forward directly, wrapping his arms around Tantai Mingyue and offering his own spine to meet the sword gleam.
"Perish, Galaxian Explosion!" Saga swept his hands outward, and stars filling the sky crashed toward Liu Hao. Every single star was unimaginably gigantic, and the surrounding environment underwent a drastic transformation as the two of them were no longer inside the Pope's Hall, but seemed transported into the void of the universe.
