Volume 1, Chapter 24: Old Mrs. Su Is Up to Her Old Tricks Again

Old Mrs. Su is acting up again.

The Tongtian River itself is undeniably dangerous, with its swift currents and high waves, yet the fields nearby are remarkably fertile. This is especially true around the gentle, expansive lake behind Longhe Town and the area directly across the water, where many pioneering nobles settled decades ago.

In this way, the Legion of Terror can still be wielded as a blade, and Alisa, that great traitor, can still serve a purpose.

If White Deer Castle were to fall, the Mai Xiang territory would have no hope of holding back the vast armies of the Bacchus Empire, and it is even possible that all of Longhe Town would be overrun.

General Sula offered an apology, but there was not a trace of unease on his face; clearly, he did not believe that breaking the law to save lives was a mistake of any kind.

Standing nearby, Lin Chengde was deeply astonished. Although Ye Tongxuan had failed to complete the alchemy, his process had been meticulous and fluid, like a master at work.

"Grandmother, why don't you both just stay? I'm only a few months away from giving birth to my second child; there's no need to put yourselves through the trouble of traveling back and forth." This was the first time Bai Zhi had asked them to stay today, but it was far from the first time she had tried; she had said similar things many times over the past two days, yet she could not sway the old couple’s resolve to return home.

Countless fissures crisscrossed the mountainside, and from the midpoint down, the earth collapsed wherever the beast tide passed. The back mountain, originally shaped like the character for "mountain," instantly crumbled into the shape of a crescent moon.

Early the next morning, Zhu Suosuo packed her luggage and hailed a taxi to the company. After checking in, she collected the keys to her apartment from the human resources department and moved in immediately.

Stepping outside the city of Yushan, Su Qian sighed at the sight of the long queues already forming at the gates at such an early hour.

After all, if the King were to die, Amy—currently besieged in Sly Fox Town—would ironically become the most trustworthy candidate. In such a scenario, the third heir would likely ascend to become the first. Being trapped in Sly Fox Town and unable to act would serve as proof that the King's death had absolutely nothing to do with her.

Seeing the drastic change in their expressions, Zhong Shan realized they must have been terrified. If not for their long-standing loyalty and gratitude, they might have fled in fear already. He knew that if he did not explain things clearly today, they would not be inspired to greater loyalty by this miraculous display, but would instead be filled with awe and dread.

"Enough, no need for all that trouble." Seeing that the wallet was quite thick, Wang Haitao reached over, snatched it directly, tossed the identification cards aside, and casually stuffed the cash into his pocket.

Along the southern coast of Bliss Island, rows of silvery-white wind turbines stand magnificently against the backdrop of the azure sky, striking and eye-catching. The wind power density at a height of 10 meters exceeds 250–310 watts per square meter, with an installed wind power capacity reaching 510,000 kilowatts.

As Jun Zimo charged aggressively toward Xi Keshi, Xi Keshi merely flicked his sleeve, effortlessly neutralizing the attack. The force erupting from his sleeve swept Jun Zimo away, sending him plummeting rapidly from mid-air toward the ground.

Putting thought into action, Lu Sheng skillfully circulated the telluric energy flowing from his true form, began isolating the parts compatible with the local laws, and slowly nourished this bird body.

"Do whatever you want, but if you dare to walk away, don't ever think about drinking my coffee again for the rest of your life!" Xiong Xiaobai finally understood why she had been able to handle that "abandoned dog" so easily; it turned out the experience she had gained from constantly bickering with her clumsy bear of a brother had been the key all along.
