Volume 1, Chapter 21: Qiaoqiao's Heart Aches

Ye Qiaoqiao noticed the injury on his arm the moment she saw him. His military uniform was caked in mud, frost, and blood, and there were several lacerations on his resolute face. Before she could run over, Fu Juechuan hurriedly shielded a soldier on a stretcher and quickly entered through the hospital's side entrance, followed by other wounded soldiers being rushed in by nurses. Ye Qiaoqiao tried to approach but was blocked and turned away. Helpless, she hurried to the main entrance to find out where the soldiers had been taken. Once inside, she presented her military dependent ID and finally obtained the information. In the ward, Fu Juechuan was lying...

The young disciples of the righteous path had struck when their enemies were unprepared, giving them a significant advantage. Moreover, as elites from the three major sects with considerable cultivation, they held a clear upper hand against the ordinary members of the Changsheng Hall.

No sooner had she finished speaking than her mother pulled her into a tight embrace, holding her so closely that she could barely breathe.

"Teacher, if there is something you wish to ask, please just say it." Her hesitation only made me feel more uneasy.

"A famous person? It is far too early to say. We do not know how strong the forces above the Heavenly Dao Palace are; perhaps they do not fear my master at all."

"Where is Wuli Slope?" Tang Long asked curiously. Of course, the blind man’s talk of killing did not convince him; he did not believe it.

Today was a critical moment. Liu Yuan used a cold as an excuse to excuse himself from the imperial court, providing an excellent opportunity for other courtiers to exert their influence.

She was dying to find her Junsheng, but now, under such a scorching sun, she was a ghost and could not venture out.

Months had passed since the premiere, yet the fervor had not subsided, and major television stations were still re-airing it.

But in all honesty, Qi Que truly lacked the ability to do so, for he feared being beaten to death by Lu Shaochen.

She seemed to see a male phoenix with colorful plumage standing with folded wings on a branch ahead, singing a song to the female phoenix opposite him. The female phoenix appeared captivated, watching him in quiet appreciation.

The young lady turned her head slightly, looking at the shallow, indistinct night outside. The flickering lights from above fell upon her face, and as she lifted her head, it shimmered with radiant brilliance.

Lying on the bed, Linda stared at the shadows of the trees on the window, recalling the fragments of the past, and bit her lip in secret.

"Wait—" Before the butler could finish, a man weighing at least two hundred kilograms emerged from the courtyard, followed by a dozen armored guards. Despite his bulky frame, he did not walk slowly at all.

"That’s a good idea!" Fu Yuejun’s eyes brightened, a faint glimmer passing through them. Had Qin Zhiyu not mentioned it, she would never have thought to use this matter to threaten Meng Tianyue.

The Citrus Festival was quite well-known in California. Held annually since 1911, it had been suspended for several years during World War II and was only revived last year. This year marked the second festival since the war.

Although Gaius was a terrorist leader with physical prowess and reflexes beyond that of an ordinary person, he seemed to move in slow motion when faced with Shu Ouma, who possessed the powers of the Ghoul and the King; he couldn't even manage to dodge.

This action caused Carol to fly into a rage, but just as she was about to lash out, Audrey soothed her.

Along the way, Chun Yi sat in the carriage with Lin Ruo, holding her cold hand and watching her remain in a dazed, soul-stricken state, feeling deeply pained for her.

"Go to hell! 'Good people live in peace'—are you cursing me to die early?!" Lin Yu spat out a curse, using his magic power to send Ji Yu and the Zhu Qin behind her a thousand miles away. The Yin soldiers did not pursue them further, treating them as if they were nothing.

In particular, Lieutenant General Yamamuro Munetake of the 11th Division gave Tani Shinjiro ten unprecedentedly hard slaps!

It went without saying that Luo Jinshi hated him to the bone. After all, she hadn't even told him about something as significant as her pregnancy.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. Thank you. I've never eaten wild boar meat before." Xiao Ao accepted it happily, knowing that the meat was actually intended for Chen Yidao and that he was merely receiving it on his behalf.

Seeing Chen Yidao ignore her and run off, Zheng Qi shook her head in disappointment and sighed, picking up her handbag as she walked toward the office building.

Ye Canxue took the ring, his hand trembling. After a long while, he placed the ring into his storage bag.

Hao Xuan, hearing the old woman's words and observing her expression, was filled with fury. "You old hag, cease your arrogance and witness my methods!" With that, he tossed his strange short blade into the air and danced his hands, weaving thousands of incantations and striking them toward the blade.

It was too quiet! There were no bird calls or beast cries typical of a forest, as if the woods had never contained a single living creature! All that remained was the "rustling" of leaves occasionally stirred by a gentle breeze.

"He is. I will notify President Hua immediately," said the receptionist, immediately calling Hua Feng.

"He's just joking. A man isn't a man if he isn't a bit of a flirt. We came to the principal because we need a favor. We've been very busy lately, so we were hoping to take all the exams at once. Is that possible?" Chen Yidao stated his purpose directly.

Although Cao Yue did not look back, he could sense the strange expression on Lai Yingying's face as she watched them leave.

Zhao Hao felt a chill run down his spine under the gaze of Venerable Bodhi. Although he knew his cultivation was masked by the system and that the Venerable could not discern his true strength, he still felt very uncomfortable under that stare.

The scene left everyone stunned. The thugs were all frozen in place; no one had expected such a turn of events. Of course, the list of those stunned did not include Cao Yue.

Ge Yueying checked the sundial in the courtyard, set down her work, and called for Ye Qing and Zhang Shaozhuo to help carry a cloth-covered chest out from the back room. They carried it all the way to a river near Xianzun Town before setting it down.

He was aware of the tight situation on the front lines. Furthermore, after the battle at Zhou-dong County, the North China Theater had already lost several fighter jets; it was impossible for any more to arrive now.

Guo Da found an inn in the Forbidden City to stay in temporarily. To avoid unwanted attention, he had to exert great effort to find opportunities to enter the city every day. Over time, he became somewhat familiar with the gatekeepers, making entry much easier.

Back then, anything you touched turned to gold. Now, it's different; there aren't as many opportunities. Generally speaking, the post-80s and post-90s generations are a group that must rack their brains to find a path forward.

With nearly forty thousand imperial soldiers lost, Terauchi Hisaichi would never continue to serve as Commander-in-Chief of the North China Theater, if only for that responsibility alone.
