Chapter 31: Who Are You Sleeping With Tonight?

"No, wait, you just said you had soothed them."

Gu Zhaoyun seemed to have thought of something. She glanced left and right, and seeing that none of the beast-husbands were around, she whispered, "Could it be that your beast-husbands aren't very capable?"

Hua Susu, who was in the middle of drinking water, nearly choked at these words.

This Gu Zhaoyun was even more brazen than she was.

Who could understand this?

One moment they were clearly sworn enemies, and the next, their relationship had become intimate enough to discuss men—no, that wasn't right.

The thirty thousand Youzhou elite cavalry marched for five days like this, until the commandant in charge of dry rations came to report the grain situation to Generals Zhang and Tian. The result was clear: the army's rations could only last for another two days.

Tian Feng, seeing that Yu Xin was deliberately avoiding him, grew even angrier. He marched straight to the Governor's mansion that very day and gave Yu Xin a severe dressing-down, lecturing him for a full two hours until Yu Xin felt like crying.

Nina’s body shuddered, and it was a long time before she turned around. She smiled and said, "I got rid of it. A child who isn't welcome shouldn't be brought into this world." Her extreme coldness made Su Xi’s heart sink.

The first two syllables were too muffled to hear clearly, but judging by the following sentence, it must have been a name—Dongdong? Did this drowning experience happen with her? Did he save her?

"Please rest assured, Brother. In this life, I, Long Qianjue, will never fail Yue’er," Long Qianjue vowed in front of everyone.

Finally, I broke through the surface of the water and instinctively took a deep breath. I turned to look at the person I had pulled out with me, but it was pitch black, and even though he was inches away, I couldn't see his face. When I opened my mouth, I felt a sharp pain in my throat; I had swallowed several mouthfuls of water the moment I submerged, and my chest ached from choking.

But no sooner had she finished cursing than she remembered what had happened that night. Her remark had been far too ambiguous, and even Gao Sheng’s expression became quite unnatural.

Zhao Yi’s near-maniacal state amused Gu Chi once more. Gu Chi licked his cracked lips, the taste of blood blooming from the tip of his tongue.

The crisis had not passed. As I followed Luji along the shifting rocks toward the cave entrance, I heard a hissing sound. This time, it wasn't just me; Luji felt it too. He instinctively looked back, revealing the gap that had been blocked.

Staring at the Xianbei general who had been so imposing moments ago but now lay sprawled on the ground, Yu Xin was momentarily stunned. No way, was this guy really that weak? I only used thirty percent of my strength, and he couldn't even take one hit. This fellow was a total paper tiger—all show and no substance.

The moment Lin Yun opened his eyes, a decision formed in his heart. If he remembered correctly, Master Leng had chosen the left path.

"What kind of nonsense is this? You let a fat man like that scare you into this state? If blubber counted as strength, I’d be invincible just by eating, drinking, and sleeping at home all day!" Iron Monkey didn't think much of the fat man at all, and hearing Zhu Jiangping's words only made him angrier.

"What are you trying to do? Don't alert the enemy!" Mingxuan hurriedly grabbed him. If they went to interrogate them now, they might get a lot of useful information, but it would surely alert the people inside the stone cave, and all their efforts would be for nothing.

The southern foothills were beautiful, with neat forests and vegetation. While not a geomantic treasure trove, it was still a balanced spot of yin and yang for a living foundation.

Shi Jingtian perhaps didn't even know his own limit for alcohol. As he gulped it down, his lungs felt as if they were boiling with scalding water. It could indeed drown out many of his worries, but there was no sense of refreshing relief. He couldn't help but think back to the tavern where he had sworn brotherhood with Li Siguang.

More importantly, Chen Xuan discovered that he could actually use this ring to communicate with things on the stars where the four great star powers resided, and to a certain extent, even control those stars.

At the mention of teeth, Wei Suo’s expression turned even uglier. He let out a heavy, cold snort, and the lecherous man shrank his neck, not daring to spout any more nonsense.
