Volume 1 Chapter 60: Feeling for Stones to Cross the River & The Stone Being Felt
The war drums had finally ceased, suggesting that yet another assault by the Qin army had been repelled. However, Li Yu noticed a deep worry flickering in his father’s eyes.
After all, up until this point, they hadn't even managed to score a single point. Therefore, for the Charlotte Bobcats at this juncture, the most crucial task was to break out of their current scoring drought.
If the commanding general was like this, how much more so the retainers and followers behind Yan Erniang? A sky full of flying arrows descended, followed instantly by a series of miserable screams as a dozen men were struck and wounded.
When the four permanent members closed their doors to bargain and carve up the former Soviet Union, their special envoys felt a mixture of joy and anxiety, each fearing they would get too little. It was only after the envoys of all four nations signed that they finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling they hadn't gotten the short end of the stick.
Guo Zhuohuo intended to make an example of the chicken to scare the monkeys, determined to wipe out this single division and brigade so that the central government troops and local warlords participating in the encirclement would know the Central Soviet Area was not to be trifled with. This would further delay their offensive timeline and buy more time for Chen Yi's and Su Yu's defensive corps to rest, train, and integrate.
The height of summer was approaching, and flowers bloomed across the land. Qin Zhonghai was eager to return to Nucang Mountain to investigate, so he departed alongside Yan Erniang and the others.
"I wonder if the General is free and could accompany this humble subject into the palace right now." Guo Kai lowered his posture immensely. He knew that from this day forward, this young general's power and influence in the State of Zhao would soar straight to the skies, eclipsing all other nobles and grandees.
"No matter what, without you, I probably wouldn't have survived. So whether you admit it or not, my life is yours now, and from now on, I am your person," Li Kuafu said with a deadpan expression of utmost sincerity, nearly working himself up to tears by the end of his sentence.
At the end of the first quarter, the score became 31 to 28. Having started the game so smoothly, the Cleveland Cavaliers ultimately held only a 3-point lead, which naturally left them extremely dissatisfied.
Ye Qingyi had heard of those two types of enhancement pills. The Grade-7 Jade Dew Pill, when consumed, could reduce one's own skill and energy consumption by twofold for the next hour. The Grade-5 Purple Spirit Pill, known as a pill-refiner-exclusive elixir, could be used to enhance a pill refiner's talent.
"Sir, is this gentleman your fiancé?" Fearing that Zhu Zhenxi might have truly changed her fiancé and that they might mistakenly wrong the other party if they remained unaware, the doctor hurriedly asked to clarify.
Meanwhile, some steady and prudent individuals were attempting to hold them back, such as that elderly professor, but they were utterly incapable of extinguishing the flames of anger burning within these students.
The Chen family had indeed shown kindness to many people in the past, but nowadays, none of them gave any regard to the Chen family's face.
Just as Sui Xiaotian intended to step forward to check the situation, Ye Xiu on the other side let out a miserable scream.
Baili Jialie, who had only just officially observed the cave, had not noticed this detail and began walking around inside the cavern.
In short, this time Liang Yifei's "brainstorming and plotting" encompassed his current primary industries while also gaining strong support from the local government where he was based. It was the most well-planned, largest-scale, and far-reaching endeavor since the start of his career.
"Today I am here simply to make an investment—an investment not only in Google, but in both of you," Liang Yifei said with a smile.
The Grim Reaper had been slain. Members of the S family crowded around the Prince and emerged, everyone dropping to their knees to kowtow and profusely thank Qin Mu for saving their lives.
Magpie listened eagerly as Jinzi offered her explanations, finding them increasingly abstruse. Much of it was stuff she had never even heard of before. Only then did she realize just how formidable this Jinzi was; she knew far too much, which completely contrasted with her bright and delicate appearance.
The terror in He Qingqing's eyes finally vanished completely. Clearly, she was not yet fully lucid; the massive psychological trauma might have caused her to forget certain things or even lose some memories, but at this moment, she was already certain that she was truly safe.
Hearing the various discussions from the side, Liu Changfeng grew even more enraged. Those words felt like daggers thrust straight into his heart, causing his proud spirit to twitch violently. In his view, he had been slapped in the face publicly today and suffered immense humiliation—it was the disgrace of a lifetime, a scene entirely impossible for him to accept.
Then, Gu Fan discovered that while the surrounding sensation of coldness still lingered, that terrifying feeling of everything being frozen solid was entirely gone.
"Which one of you is Mr. Yang?" Zhang Anyang asked hastily while sweeping his gaze across the crowd, his heart instantly skipping a beat—why was Tang Shaoxiong here as well?
It was time to head out. Fu Yu sneaked toward a branch vein of spiritual energy he had scouted earlier, where a multicolored seven-heart fruit tree grew. It was already ripe, and it was a medicinal herb Fu Yu had been hoping to acquire.
After Murong Wanqing recounted Murong Jie's reaction upon hearing about the Hetu Bagua Platform, the tree spirit and the others inevitably focused their gazes on Stone.
"Am I pretty?" A smile bloomed on Ye Rou's face, carrying a hint of allure that was rarely ever seen on her face.
Realizing this, Hao Ren immediately changed the subject. He introduced Antonio to all the clerks in the shop, telling them that this person would become the store's new owner.
With the arrangements for Erlang's marriage nearly finalized, Lian Maner's family returned to the west wing room. After resting for a brief moment, they would have to head back to the breakfast shop to prepare the food for sale.
"Monsters, prepare to meet your doom!" Sun Li and Sun Wukong chased out of the main hall. After exchanging a glance, Sun Wukong nodded and raised the Ruyi Jingu Bang, making a gesture to strike.
Stung by the foul, pungent odor, the guards kneeling on the ground instantly turned pale as paper, unable to suppress the terror in their eyes.
The person was sharp-tongued, and she was utterly no match for him. By now, she was stammering and completely at a loss for words.
At this moment, Lin Ke'er was already a mere step away from him. Yang Hao gazed at that seemingly all-too-familiar pretty face with extremely complex emotions, but right as he zoned out—
Steady and powerful footsteps echoed unhurriedly from the inner chamber. Yang Hao looked up to see a dignified middle-aged man walking out, and at the same time, he found that the oppressive aura enveloping him vanished into thin air instantly.
"I only wish I had no blood relation to you whatsoever! A bandit? You are truly foolish to the extreme, played right in the palm of her hand by your precious princess consort. What, are you trying to find a substitute for my father again now? You have insulted my father!" At this, a murderous intent flashed through Ling Ximo's eyes, startling both Prince Ping and Prince Ping's consort immensely.
Such a massive incident had already alerted the law enforcement of Tianbao Temple! With the garrison gates flung wide open, a middle-aged man wearing lavish attire and bearing a gloomy expression strode in.
