Chapter 55: I Love You, But I Love Power More

A faint smile flickered in Chen Wanzhou’s eyes. She didn’t believe Jiang Shiyi would live beyond tonight.

Next, all she needed was to consummate her relationship with Huo Yixun and conceive his child. That way, her status as the Huo family’s eldest grandson’s wife would be secure.

Such a plan was despicable—something she would have scorned in the past. But now, after being ruthlessly provoked by Huo Yixun, she was willing to use Jiang Shiyi as a shield to protect herself.

She also understood that even if she married Huo Yixun—

“Luzhuang cannot be lost; if it falls, the Battle of Linying will be doomed forever!” Realizing the gravity of the situation, Tian Yue, alongside Tian Xu, personally led over ten thousand elite Wei Boya soldiers to reinforce Luzhuang.

Looking at the time, Baozi probably hadn’t finished work yet. Why would he be here? Could it be that he left the company again because of some grievance?

However, they couldn’t rule out the possibility that this wasn’t their product. Therefore, Liang Chen must stay vigilant in investigating this company, and he also needed to confirm with Gao Xiongkun whether Hu Ke was the one who sold it to him.

After hearing Shen Yue’s instructions, Li Rumeng automatically went to boil water for her. Always wanting to do something to express her gratitude, Li Rumeng felt the only way was to take good care of Shen Yue.

The burly man’s thoughts were simple, and his methods direct. He slapped his storage pouch, and a flash of light appeared; in his hand materialized a mighty war axe, imposing and heavy-looking, perfectly suited to his robust frame.

Chef Li bent his knees, preparing to leap backward, but strangely, the fiery figure remained in place. Only a somewhat translucent form detached from his body and instantly transformed into a sphere of energy, piercing through the surrounding gathering souls and shooting far into the distance.

“Handsome, hello! My name is Zhu Wanwan. What’s your name? Thank you so much for what you did just now,” Zhu Wanwan said with a grateful expression.

Although he knew An Linyi possessed a millennium-rare Ice Spirit Saint Body, her sensitivity to extreme cold was terrifying. She was arguably no less attuned to the frigid energy than Su Xue’er, a snow demoness.

Not only was so much money unnecessary, but I guarantee that after this battle, we can recruit three hundred thousand Qiang soldiers for the court. The cost of war will be fully recovered within three years.

Loliya nodded, fully agreeing with his reasoning. It seemed that during this meal, she had grown fond of these carefree flower spirits and couldn’t help but want to protect them.

His mind was now filled with the name Naidona, along with a chaotic jumble of characters from Common Tongue, Draconic, Elvish, Goblin, Dwarvish, and more.

“All right, knowing this is enough. I can guide you through the specific acupoints. Have you previously practiced qigong, internal energy cultivation, or anything similar?” Sun Ling asked.

“Mr. Murong Rourou, we don’t know when this will end. We don’t know when our wavering days in the martial world will cease.” Murong, the God of War, looked up at the blazing sun and spoke listlessly to the copper sphere beside him.

“Then let the facts speak. Let’s see if I truly have that ability!” Chen Junliang’s eyes suddenly shifted from black to white, a crimson thread radiating from the center of his pupils, its power uncontrollable as it spread outward. The entire world beyond the imperial city seemed stirred by it.

“Your Holiness, please deliver this item to Miss Shangxi Meiduo…” Qin Tianci said earnestly.

Du Ziyuan’s first wave of Yangshen thunder tribulation had passed, but by then, no one cared about such things anymore. Including himself, all eyes were fixed tightly on the Blue Star Princess.

The contract hadn’t been made public, but the agreement was signed. Kaisa knew that neither party would leak the information, so telling them was inconsequential. In truth, Xu Ru had already guessed, but she neither spoke nor asked.

Suddenly, Cthugha deliberately weakened his strength. The forceful Nayako suddenly leaned forward.
