Chapter 28

Tian Mo casually picked a room and ordered some simple food and drink. It was enough; he figured the two of them couldn't finish much more anyway. Besides, he didn't come here to eat and drink, did he?

According to his own words, he was here to watch someone more handsome than himself do work more lowly than his own.

"Jiangnan silk and satin are renowned for their suppleness and smoothness, but compared to coarse hempen cloth, they have one glaring weakness: their fire resistance is abysmal!" Hou Liangsheng remarked nonchalantly.

When Bai Mu obtained the stone cauldron, the others felt a sudden mix of joy and alarm. They were happy it had finally been found, but alarmed by the fear that it might be snatched away. However, they were no longer afraid; since he had already spoken, he surely wouldn't go back on his word.

"What's wrong with Sister Yang?" Seeing Qian Ziwei suddenly fall silent, Li Changlin didn't think much of it and offered a gentle smile.

If the Jiang family truly wanted to become his enemy over a mere nobody like Jiang Xingwei, Li Changlin would not hesitate to use ruthless methods to teach the Jiang family a harsh lesson.

At that time, the first wave of threats would come from other factions on the planet Luomen. Both the tank regiment and the soon-to-be-formed air combat regiment would face a "global war." The hidden functions of the underground arsenal would lose their utility, and some facilities that didn't need to be underground could be built directly on the surface, saving time.

Upon seeing the contents of the four bamboo slips, the expressions of Pan Borong, Murong Liu, and Guo Yangyun became quite vivid—ranging from astonishment and pleasant surprise to disbelief, or even a look that said, "Just as I expected."

Santos seemed to have discerned a pattern in Gao Renxu's shooting. After closing in on him again, he risked having his left arm armor struck repeatedly to reach out and push aside the pistol that was firing incessantly.

"Hiss! What are you standing there for? Someone, go get a stretcher and let the officer lie down and rest!" Zhou Weiguo immediately began issuing orders.

It is said that back when he had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he had easily beaten a fellow second-layer Foundation Establishment disciple into a cripple.

Yet, just a moment ago, over forty people had been killed or wounded in the surprise attack within the arsenal, and now, many more had fallen to the exceptionally powerful grenade launchers.

Cao Mengde held the Seven-Star Sword in his hand, his face flushed with uncontrollable excitement, though his heart felt somewhat cold.

Naturally, as a loyal official of the Great Qian, Old Yue felt it was his duty to go through fire and water for the cause.

Xiluji was dead. The groups that had once gathered to oppose her could no longer achieve anything, and the third brother, whom Fuleida had granted the title of Duke, was now the new Duke of Xiluji and had been her person all along.

Wen Li recognized at a glance that the person before her was none other than Zhang Lele, the founder and senior partner of the Zhang Lele Law Firm, a gold-medal lawyer, and a distinguished graduate of the Jingda Law School.

Moreover, according to current intelligence, this batch of weapons had no fear of large-scale offensives; any human-wave tactic would be reduced to nothing in the face of dense bombardment.

Students, in particular, had lucky money from returning home for the New Year. Although the bulk would be taken away by parents under the guise of "keeping it safe for you," some would inevitably remain, and one might impulsively spend it on a membership subscription or something similar.

Passing through the white marble steps, they entered the doorway, which was flanked by golden griffin statues on either side.

Guided by its roots, the entire shrubbery moved slowly forward, like a sluggish snail crawling along.

Some lists would even intentionally guide the audience by featuring people who were not actually emperors.

An Tong’s tone was so resolute, and her straightforward, steadfast eyes were filled with an inexpressible trust in him.

In contrast to the scene of successive celebrations across all the dynasties of Huaxia, the faces of the Western emperors looked like frost-bitten eggplants.

Although the two were known as mortal enemies on the surface, deep down, they still cared for each other deeply.

"I'm sure," Lin Xuan said, pulling a remote control, a mobile phone, and a few other items from his pocket.

Hearing this, Wen Ting felt helpless, but he had no choice but to nod in resignation and speak.

This top-secret intelligence suggested that on certain special days, bowing ninety-nine times in an open field could potentially trigger a mysterious event.

Many of the holidays celebrated by both sides fell on the same day but meant vastly different things. For instance, a certain date might signify a joyous occasion in one vassal state.

By the time he regained his senses, his body had been blasted over a dozen yards away, and he was coughing up blood violently. As for his mount, the Lizard King Seraph, it didn't even have time to scream before it dissolved into a mist of blood amidst the ranks of the Undead Army.

The three consecutive system notifications startled Murong Ye. He didn't know what kind of interference could affect the operation of the auxiliary system. This incident served as a wake-up call, making him realize that the auxiliary system was not omnipotent. It also taught him not to rely too heavily on it, but rather to focus on improving his own cultivation.

Duanshui curled his lip in disdain and used his hand to pry at his gold-like front teeth, showing no restraint whatsoever.

But it was understandable; after all, besides the first flash-grab on Zoe, the Spider had circled the top lane repeatedly, back and forth, several times, but unfortunately, it had failed to find any opening in the Irelia’s defense. The minion wave had been controlled by TS under the tower the entire time, leaving no chance at all.

He Baojun was mending clothes for Xia Hui. Seeing her expression, she instantly guessed a bit of what had happened, and a gleam of schadenfreude flickered in her triangular eyes.

For the past month, Tianya and Tianjing had relied on each other, buying every meal from outside. Today, the disciples of the Huanglang Sect were busy within the sect, so it was naturally inconvenient to go out for breakfast, and they had to make do with pastries.
