Chapter 165: Reinforcements Have Arrived

Di Jun's eyes radiated possessiveness and lust, but he failed to notice that Tai Yi beside him was likewise repeatedly swallowing his saliva. As three-legged golden crows, both of them possessed an innate sense of mating attraction toward female three-legged toads. Just as Di Jun had set his sights on the three-legged toad, Tai Yi had similarly taken a fancy to this super-sized toad.

None of this mattered; what mattered was that the person in the photograph was unmistakably the very same Xi Chen standing before them, accompanied by an unknown, handsome man.

The person in the mirror looked clean and refreshed, the haggard and disheveled appearance of earlier completely gone. Zheng Xichen was quite satisfied with his energetic look, offering a slight smile at the reflection, arching a wicked eyebrow, and walking out of his home with his hands shoved in his pockets.

The two hundred Ming soldiers left behind in the canyon had captured a thousand-man commander of the Yuan forces. It turned out that this fellow had ordered his subordinates to turn back and charge while he himself abandoned his horse, leaped over the obstacles blocking the valley, and attempted to flee, only to be caught red-handed by the Ming soldiers stationed right there.

After meeting Huo Ting'en at the school, Chu Xinran pondered over it again and again before finally deciding to send an email to Huo Ting'en, because she hadn't managed to say what she originally wanted to say today.

Although there were many royal families on the continent, there were only seven true "Crown Families," and the royal bloodlines of almost every nation did not fall outside these seven crowns. There were reasons for this.

Shentu Lingjing walked over to the sofa and saw Chen Tianming curled up and lying with his back facing the sofa's backrest. Seeing that he didn't even turn around to look at her as she approached, a trace of disappointment welled up in her heart, yet she still comforted herself by thinking that he simply hadn't heard her footsteps or was already asleep.

For some reason, Lu Shu felt that the Puppeteer had come prepared, and moreover, the other party seemed to know what was inside this ruin, with an extremely clear sense of purpose.

Everyone entered the house and took their respective seats as hosts and guests. The adults all knew that this was the moment for Guo Youjie to examine the two children, at least going through the motions. While he wouldn't intentionally make things difficult for them, he wouldn't give out questions that could be easily muddled through either.

"I..." Zheng Xichen moved his lips, wanting to say something, but nothing came out. Seeing Zheng Chenheng's genuine self-blame and remorse, he couldn't bear it anymore.

"The venue for the competition back then wasn't the UP Center; it seemed to be just a regular stadium," Wei Chennian remarked with a sigh.

Upon entering the city, Greenfield regrouped with the other two soldiers of the Snow Eagle Knights. After all, this mission was a covert operation, and exposing it to others in Snow Fortress would bring no benefits. As long as Warrant remembered their meritorious service, everything would be fine.

Gao Hongyi ignored her, thinking to himself that since this girl knew what was on his mind, she should just speak her mind instead of asking unnecessary questions—she really was quite naggy.

After all, author-recommendation shoutouts were different from official platform recommendations; their effect generally lasted only for that initial period. The further along it went, the weaker the effect became, eventually approaching zero infinitely.

"The King of Kyushu is recruiting soldiers. Over the past two years, the empire's retired soldiers have all been assigned to the Two Administrative Offices. With the King of Kyushu recruiting now, many people want to sell their land and head to Japan," Liu Qi said.

The actions of these bounty hunters now left no doubt that his previous judgment had been entirely correct.

At this press, the transparent glass sphere sank slightly. Following that, a ring of bright blue light seeped out from the gap between the base and the sphere.

It was still that once arrogant God-Slayer, with the familiar operations and silhouette, the familiar stealth charge followed by phantom maneuvers.

"Commander Sun's decisiveness is truly admirable! When the army returns in triumph and Commander Sun enters the capital, I must surely drink a hearty toast with him," Chen Si sighed.

As soon as the scout returned and Qin Qian ascertained the situation, he immediately submitted a plaque into the palace to seek an audience with Prince Zhuang.

Meanwhile, Jun Jinzhi lowered his head, his gaze falling upon her fair neck. In that spot were several red marks; although the color was faint, one could clearly discern that they were pinch marks left by forceful fingers.

Having not eaten much before going out today, she really had nothing left to vomit after retching a few times. Yet even with nothing left to expel, that overwhelming sense of nausea remained stubbornly present, making her instinctively want to heave again.

Old Tan felt a pang of heartache; this single year would drain quite a bit more silver coins. However, since Wanhua had said so, it naturally made sense. He nodded in agreement and then went out to handle the matter.

Listening to the technician's explanation, Huo Fan also realized that something was amiss, but the issue with Shelter No. 7 still needed to be resolved.

"Which classmate ordered takeout? Help us order a portion too." Seeing their class monitor grill chicken wings until they turned completely charred and remained uncooked inside, they knew it was completely inedible for humans.

Watching the retreating figure, Li Shen smiled faintly. She looked much fuller than before. He walked over lightly, his eyes filled with boundless, wonderful scenery.

When Zhang婵, Liu Yuxiang, and the others boarded the carriage, Wanhua, Fan Lichun, and the rest mounted their horses as well. Thus, the group set off and headed outside the fortress.

To be able to easily thrash someone of her own caliber while at her peak state meant that the classical maiden before her undoubtedly possessed at least the cultivation realm of the Nascent Soul stage.

At that moment, a series of howling cries drifted over, causing them to instinctively pause their chopsticks and prick up their ears to listen.

At this, Yu Santao finally set his mind at ease, thinking to himself that this general was actually quite decent. Following him in the future might genuinely lead to wealth and prosperity.

Originally planned for two million words, because several plot arcs were cut, the ending ended up being just over 1.8 million words...

"Hey, classmate Si Zhaorong, you didn't come to my place to talk business, but rather to sponge a drink of water, didn't you!" This state of Si Zhaorong made Cong Xiangfeng even more curious. He wondered what on earth had happened on the road just now.

Before long, the fire engine arrived, and the aerial ladder brought the two of us down. The scorching gazes of the onlookers all around made me feel somewhat entangled and awkward.

Tong Xianger browsed through the photo news of the mourning hall, and her stepmother Shen Juenian's graceful figure suddenly appeared.

Tong Xianger drove home, bypassing her usual route and taking a detour to the Xi City Citizen Service Center, where the Civil Affairs Bureau was located.

She had truly been careless. Not only had she allowed a high-level expert capable of taking her life like the Ghost Guard to enter her courtyard, but she had even chosen her as her personal maid—it was simply preposterous!
