Volume 1, Chapter 44: It Turned Out to Be Shen Yechu

If it were not for this incident, the Star God would never have suspected him. This matter is still open to discussion; after all, that person is still fighting fiercely on the front lines.

Had he not been switched at birth, how could he possibly have not even a single playmate of his own age in this sprawling capital city?

As it happened, both Wolong and Luo Yong had a relatively strong trust in Xia Yan, so the two of them unanimously decided that they must help guard this place until Xia Yan returned.

That streak of red light suddenly changed direction and flew back, evidently having spotted the suspicious group of people.

In a daze, Eunuch Luo beside him gently nudged him, and only then did Xia Yan notice that Zhao Zheng was still trembling below him.

Hearing this, Li Changqing still had a silver ancient tower hovering above his head and half a Vajra subjugation pestle grasped in his hand. Purple light flashed, and lightning enveloped his entire body as he stared fixedly at the base of a vine as thick as a water bucket, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

After returning to the Su family residence, Lin Yang showed his marriage certificate to Elder Su, who appeared extremely overjoyed.

She opened Daji's hero interface, watching her badge upgrade from the silver city-level to the golden province-level. This thrilled Hu Li immensely; achieving a province-level badge meant she was even closer to the national leaderboard mark. She checked Daji's performance score and compared it with the person at the bottom of the current national ranking list.

Although the production lines for "Huazi" are currently running at full capacity, the military's demand is so massive that very few actually trickle out to the public.

"If it's as simple as the God of Protection says, why didn't the two Exalted Gods go down to help rescue people?" the Empress blurted out.

"This subject understands. Since Your Majesty's condition is improving, it is expected that the illness will be completely cured in just a few days." These were the words the military doctor left behind before departing.

Mu Zhiyuan looked at Huangfu Rou. He could not deny that this was indeed a good idea, but to sacrifice his own grandson for the sake of Mu Zhaiyue's affairs—whether this was truly worth it required asking for the young man's own opinion first.

Ren Wei sneered and laughed, "Are you Lü Chao, the foremost gentleman of Yangzhou? I'm afraid you've grown too accustomed to a life of luxury and only managed to learn the opening stances of the 'Nirvana Sword Decisive'. Let me show you my martial arts." As soon as these words fell, his steel pitchfork struck forth with lightning speed, stabbing to the left and slashing to the right in a flash of lightning.

The entire scene instantly descended into chaos; the number of security guards was simply no match for the tens of thousands of fans, and the situation slowly spun out of control.

Of course Ye Canguo's name was Ye Canguo, but in his eyes, Long Bu'ao was merely a gang leader who actually dared to sit right across from him.

Coral had no idea that because she couldn't be bothered to explain today, the three of them mistakenly assumed she had silently accepted this fact and treated her even more like one of their own family. From then on, whenever they traveled through the pugilistic world, she became the only righteous faction member immune to attacks from the unorthodox sects.

"Audacious assassin, your time has come, why don't you surrender without a fight?" Enduring excruciating pain, Coral suddenly let out a sharp cry.

Therefore, after much deliberation, he settled on a plan: he would administer the medicine to Youlian as usual, but in a lighter dosage. Even if Youlian raised questions afterward, he could claim that their martial arts were simply too advanced, which made the medicinal effects less noticeable.

Linger observed the condition of the herbs, changing the poultice on the wound from time to time. She watched as the color of the blood began to change, but the process was far too slow. At this rate, before the toxins in his body could be neutralized, the man would bleed to death entirely.

Especially today in the Longhua Hall, she suddenly recalled a remark her late mother had uttered before passing away: the most heartless thing in this world is an emperor, and she even made her promise that when she married in the future, she must never marry an emperor.

Upon hearing the other party's words, Zhan Feihong smiled faintly, then reached out and withdrew the Five Elements Unification spiritual pressure that had enveloped the bodies of those two elders.

Once the strategy was settled—truth be told, let alone kite-flying, dealing with a Level 100 elite monster alongside Mosquito and Ostrich required practically no effort at all.

Yet upon hearing the other's cold laugh, he was forced to abruptly halt his palm mid-air.

"I thought the situation had turned around and fortune was smiling upon us again, but to think it is still certain death!" Wu Hai sighed, though without much sorrow. At his age, he had already reached the point of knowing fate. Life and death were no longer all that terrifying.

Kadokawa seemed to have decided to completely abandon all shame. Watching his own soldiers being toyed with like monkeys by the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army, what harm was there in being shameless once more? Besides, they had already acted shamelessly earlier when two of them ganged up on one.

The primary missions of special forces include harassment and sabotage, reconnaissance behind enemy lines, intelligence gathering, emergency rescue, psychological warfare propaganda, special security, as well as counter-subversion, counter-espionage, counter-ambush, and counter-hijacking operations. The duties they shoulder differ significantly from those of conventional scouts in many ways.

Ice Wind's luck value was clearly not as high as mine; her success rate bonus was relatively small. Speaking of which, without a high luck value, trying to socket an item to Exceptional +7 is indeed quite illusory, with a 1% success rate comparable to the odds of being struck by lightning.

Murong Yufeng bit her lips. At that very fraction of a second, she had already made up her decision. She had come to the Tang Li Kingdom to trace her roots, find her family members, and learn the story of her mother. Now, only the last task remained: to meet her biological father and resolve the lingering doubts in her heart.

Explosions merged into an unbroken roar, countless in number, with flashing flames and deafening booms. Everyone could only feel their eardrums stinging from the concussive force.

Upon learning that the German forces were abandoning many of their tank units, Han Lie was instantly overjoyed and dispatched Liao Yuan to lead the special forces troops in operating the tanks. Tank operations were bound to be much easier to master than fighter planes. Han Lie immediately set to work drawing blueprints for tanks, eager to establish a dedicated armored division.

In her momentary bewilderment, his slender fingers gently caressed her face. With tender movements, he not only checked her other wounds but also smoothed down the curly fur on her top.

Hu Huizhong cast a reproachful, sideways glance at Murong Yanru. The nickname "Huihui" was evidently here to stay; although she had raised objections several times, the man remained as steadfast as ever, stubbornly insisting on this moniker, so she simply gave up arguing.

Since he could not provide for her, he might as well let her fend for herself and rot away there. Not listening, not looking, and not thinking about it was perhaps the best way to handle her for now.

What came after stopping the political marriage? The Empress Dowager had already bestowed upon her the title of Grand Princess; could she possibly disregard the judgment of the entire world and keep her lingering in the inner palace? What would that make her?
