Volume 1, Chapter 35: She Could Have Been Spared So Much Suffering
"Shen Lingshuang! Stay out of my business!" Du Juan cursed.
Shen Lingshuang shrugged, "I don't have the time."
She had already stirred up all the trouble she intended to; as for the remaining squabbles, she would leave the two families to play out that drama themselves.
...
Placing the fish, which had been filleted in two and deboned, onto the cutting board, she scraped back and forth with a sharp knife. She removed every stray bone and scale she encountered, gathering the delicate fish paste from the edge of the blade.
After the Earth God avatar of Teresia was swept into the spatial turbulence, his main Wind God avatar began to grow anxious.
Yuan Zui nodded, his face remaining impassive, though his heart was in turmoil. To fully control the territory of an entire province—how could that be easy in today's world?
Bone-Choke was frantic. While its power was currently slightly higher than Yuan Zui's, it could not withstand a joint attack from the three of them. This was exactly why it had spared no cost to spawn two capable assistants earlier.
Facing this mysterious foreign friend, Wang Qi really ought to have been grateful. If not for him, he would likely have succumbed to illness before the apocalypse arrived.
Leng Mengyun's rational approach to money and capital instantly made her a figure of immense stature in my eyes.
It wore a tailored, slim-fitting black gown, though the style was quite unfamiliar—at the very least, it had never appeared in any public setting.
The two teams made their official entrance. The visiting team emerged one by one to the DJ's low voice, devoid of any real atmosphere.
A good strategy must be maintained. Since they had rendered the Rockets completely helpless in Game 4, the Hawks, as the victors, would certainly not change their approach for Game 5, determined to continue with an offensive pattern that had already been proven effective.
Arnold did not hold back, beginning to unleash his fusion technique, which contained seven profound mysteries. The immense power of these seven mysteries, fused into one, was concentrated by Arnold into a single sword strike. He swung his blade lightly to meet the powerful elemental greatsword wielded by Kerrlay.
Then, Hai Wanlang discovered in despair that he could no longer self-destruct, nor could he trigger the self-destruction of the Land Lord Seal.
When the price was raised to over thirty million, Zhuge Yue seemed to hesitate and did not bid again.
Helis had miscalculated once more; it turned out that Majin Buu's target was not just Vegeta, but also herself.
The thought flashed through Xu Xiao's mind, but his feet carried him across the corridor, walking into the hospital lobby with Lin Wanqiu.
Watching the massive, sweeping ranks of the Capital Garrison march out of Tai'an City, the neglected soldiers of the Restoration of Liaodong Army could only bid them farewell with expressions of pity.
Sun Wukong said, "I would also like to continue fighting, but unfortunately, my time is running out. If possible, let us resume our battle when you descend to hell!" Having said this, Sun Wukong's figure vanished before Majin Buu.
Not to mention the Grand Canal, the Yellow River still flowed with abundant water, allowing river vessels of three to five hundred shi to pass through smoothly. It was quite convenient here as well; the journey from here to Hangzhou was entirely by water, and since Huzhou was already a hub of well-developed shipping, boats were the primary means of travel.
Once the imperial decree from the Chongzhen Emperor arrived, Shi Kefa had no intention of rebuffing it. He immediately mustered an army of thirty-seven thousand, leaving two thousand to guard the critical grain supplies in Tai'an, and conscripted thirty thousand laborers. Claiming a force of one hundred thousand, he held the flag-consecration ceremony and set out on the first day of the ninth lunar month.
Hai Wanlang looked utterly desperate. A terrifying aura surged from his body; he intended to self-destruct, and he was determined to take his Land Lord Seal with him.
Pointing to the magic circle, Luo Chen explained it in as much detail as possible, taking special care to highlight several key points involved.
