Volume 1, Chapter 40: An Unattainable Luxury

Holding Bai Xuanxuan's fingers, Jiang Yan wept bitterly. After a long while, she said in a choked voice, "I'm begging you, won't you please go back to Fu Heng?"

She had refused to believe that Shanshan was Bai Xuanxuan until Fu Heng produced that wedding photograph with Xuanxuan.

Lin Xie couldn't help asking once more, as this simply wasn't his usual style of doing things.

"No wonder this guy is acting so flamboyant today; most likely, he's already confident that his stats are going to increase by a huge margin," Qin Ming thought to himself.

The Demon Lotus gazed deeply at Chu Guang, toying with the scroll in its hand as if lost in thought.

Han Mu roared, attempting to break out of the mountain range's perimeter. However, it felt as though he had fallen deep into a quagmire, and his movements instantly slowed down drastically.

"Alright, let's settle on that then. Do you have any medicine on hand right now? If you do, bring over a batch first," Lu Leiwen said with a smile as he looked at Song Jinghao.

Under such overwhelming pressure, Qin Ming felt he had no room to resist whatsoever, left with no choice but to sit and wait to be devoured.

"Mr. Qin, this is Elder Zhang's special ward. Irrelevant personnel are not allowed to enter casually," Liao Dingsheng said stiffly.

Pei Yan wasn't truly drunk; he was just a little annoyed that Yu Tang wanted to use the dress he made for her as a pattern for Xu Xuan's gown. Hearing her words, he obediently went to change his clothes, drank some hangover soup, and then accompanied Yu Tang to the room where their son was resting.

"Can you guys handle it?" Song Jinghao looked toward Leng Tianyu, wondering to himself if Leng Tianyu even knew how to slaughter a wild boar.

In an instant, an immensely ferocious aura transformed into a demonic dragon, swirling around the demon tribesman draped in cyan robes, before shooting straight up into the sky the next second.

After being reprimanded by Su Guorong, the bickering and frolicking Su Lin and Han Lingling finally washed their faces honestly to get rid of the white flour, and then proceeded to wrap up the remaining dumpling wrappers and filling.

Although Ni Caidie had long since transcended the mortal world and was no longer that enchanting singer and actress, and now possessed quite a high level of cultivation, she still retained her childlike innocence from back then, living a carefree life. She was the most relaxed person in Cloud City.

"Your Majesty, we are incompetent, implicating Your Majesty to be trapped here. Your subjects deserve to die ten thousand deaths! Even the First Emperor of Qin never retreated, and we swear we shall never retreat either. We are willing to live and die with our Emperor, to fight to the death! We are willing to sacrifice our lives for our Emperor..."

Liu Peng walked slowly into the village, and from behind him, the loud shouting of Li Dacai could faintly be heard.

Returning in a rush, the sight of Professor Gu and the others' excited expressions in the laboratory gave Liu Peng a profound sense of reassurance.

The potential crisis facing the Zhao army was not only invisible to Cao Fuju, but also to the average Zhao soldiers. Learning that the main army was retreating and that a whole day of hard-won achievements had gone down the drain, most of the Zhao soldiers felt discouraged. However, due to the strict military laws, no one dared to defy orders lightly, so they could only dejectedly reform their ranks and prepare to turn back.

That final bullet had piercingly shot straight through Kenpachi Zaraki's neck. Kenpachi Zaraki's eyes widened in sheer disbelief, and in the next second, a massive gush of fresh blood began vying to spray outward from the front and back holes in his neck.

Liu Xianshi was transferred to Nanjing to serve as an advisory committee member, but he defied the order, and Yang Hongsen dispatched Wang Tianpei's southern army into Guizhou. After reporting to Sun Yat-sen for approval and subsequent deliberation by the parliament, Zhang Mingzhe was appointed as the governor of Guizhou, and Qiu Daochang as the chairman of the Guizhou provincial party branch, respectively.

Last night, Tang Ruoxi had tossed and turned, failing to fall asleep for the entire night. Thus, early in the morning, with dark circles under her eyes resembling a panda, she dialed Liu Yan's number.

Finally, after decades had passed, Xu Fu successfully established a nation in this uncivilized land beyond the pale, proclaiming himself the ruler of Fusang. This was the origin of the later nation of Wa, and Xu Fu became the very first emperor of this Wa nation, also known as Emperor Jinmu.
