Chapter 44: The Restless Spirit

The man surnamed Li suggested we go downstairs to talk. I knew this matter couldn't be explained clearly in a short time, especially since I had no idea what stories lay behind it, so I simply nodded and agreed.

Turning back, I was about to pull Meng Lianqiao along when I noticed her expression was extremely strange. Her eyes were fixed on the door of the room, bulging slightly, her skin growing pale, and I saw her tongue starting to loll from her mouth...

Yang Jun nodded with a smile, then, after another display of theatrical affection and a lingering farewell with He Yiyi, finally got into the taxi.

At that time, however, the naval commander Yamamoto valued Togo Heihachiro precisely for his reticence and obedience.

General Chen Charlie, who had been named and singled out by Li Mu as the commander of the landing forces, broke out in a cold sweat and immediately stood up, completely at a loss in the face of Li Mu's questioning.

Li Su first took Zichen to find something to eat. This time, he was too embarrassed to ask for more Lingwu Brew, so instead he brought out a unique wine from Wufeng Mountain, which tasted exquisite as well.

Yamagata Aritomo believed that, given the current strength of the American fleet, it was extremely formidable. At the end of the last century, the United States had launched the Spanish-American War in order to seize vast amounts of capital from foreign markets.

These natives all carried themselves with great arrogance, looking down on and making things difficult for the gods who protected them.

Now, out on the Pacific, the Huaxia Empire's navy had already seized absolute dominance. For a long time yet, it would not be something the American fleet could challenge.

The fat man spoke honestly—there was nothing to hide here. Among the listeners, there was none of the polite taboos of ordinary families; everyone lived with their heads hanging by their waists, so there was little time for tricks and turns. If you died today, someone else would die tomorrow—such was the way of things.

In Huaxia, poaching was not as rampant as on the African savannas, but it had always existed. Some celebrities had participated in anti-poaching and wildlife protection campaigns, but the public response had been lukewarm.

The Sword Master had lived long enough that simply by listening, he could more or less guess the cause and effect of things.

Shen Yunshan collapsed weakly to the ground, having given up any thought of escape. In front of Lin Chen, there was absolutely no chance to flee, let alone resist—he could only wait for death.

After washing up, Zhang Wuxin and I returned to the beef restaurant we’d visited before. We’d prepared ourselves for the possibility that the place might be contaminated by the black aura, but when the dishes arrived, everything appeared perfectly normal.

This time, even the turtle's roar had changed, and instead of stretching its head forward, it kept shrinking it further back.

“That’s strange, isn’t it? We always say a son doesn’t speak of his father, but you’ve already said your dad’s name—why can’t you mention his name now?” I asked, puzzled.

Yazi slipped her left arm through Li Shaoze’s right, giving a proud little smile. The two walked out of the office arm in arm. Several employees who’d missed the elevator and were waiting outside saw this scene and wore odd expressions.

For a moment, countless shadows appeared all around, and innumerable gun-barrels flickered before Gu Sanqian’s eyes.

Li Shaoze was convinced that group of criminals would definitely release a second game, continuing to taunt the police.

Chen Hao had already found Qin Fan irritating, and seeing him smile in such a serious moment, couldn’t help but ask coldly.

Yan Ruxue wept like a rain-soaked pear blossom, soaking Ye Chen’s shirt as she poured out all the grievances she’d bottled up over the past year.

Logically, since the ice-sealing technique had been broken, everyone should have awakened by now. If that was the case, the banyan city shouldn’t be this quiet.

“Shameless! I didn’t expect you to have such a kink. Why don’t you go home and watch your Japanese romance films? You pervert!” Liu Lingshan gave her tacit approval to Peter.
