Volume 1, Chapter 28: Sketch

"How would I know that?" Shen Ji looked puzzled. "By the sound of it, am I supposed to know the Fang family of Luting?"

"Well..." Feng Min forced a dry laugh, testing the waters. "Then, surely the young marquis must have heard of Fang Tianshi?"

Fang Tianshi?

Shen Ji rubbed his chin. "Now that you mention it, the name does sound familiar. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."

The name was indeed familiar, yet he truly could not recall where he had heard it. Seeing that Shen Ji genuinely could not remember who Fang Tianshi was, Feng Min could not help but feel a profound sense of resignation.

"Fang Tianshi is your maternal grandfather, young marquis..." Feng Min finally could not help but remind him.

"What?" As Feng Min’s words fell...

Just then, Charcoal barked twice, tugging at Nie Yun’s pant leg, his eyes looking up at Nie Yun with a pitiful expression.

During the colonial era, France and other imperialist powers committed many cruel acts. For instance, in French-colonized Vietnam, the populace was left on the brink of death, which resulted in many Frenchmen returning to the true world prematurely during the Great Revenge storm at the beginning of the era of the Abs King.

The octopus-spider bodyguard smiled obsequiously, as if he were disposing of trash rather than discussing human beings; he remained quite calm.

Logically speaking, there should have been no issues. Cui and his companions, who had gone to carry out the espionage mission, were seasoned veterans—former South Korean military police and officers—and they spoke fluent national language. How could they possibly fail at gathering some intelligence?

This was the front-line command post of the Central Army, trailing behind the Ma Family Army's 82nd Corps. The attack force the Central Army had positioned behind the Ma Family Army along the Xianyang line consisted of two corps, numbering over fifty thousand men. The people hunched over the map were the division and brigade-level officers gathered for the meeting.

The only problem was that this new true energy could not be stored within the Five Elements Sky Mirror. It appeared to have taken the place of the Heavenly River True Energy, which meant he would inevitably have to abandon one of his cultivation techniques.

At the site of the red-light district explosion, Ye Tianyu saw Fedi and his men, who were also there searching for Angela. Ye Tianyu did not want a direct confrontation with them, so he and his group avoided Fedi. Fedi’s expression was foul—irritable and prone to rage. All his subordinates were trembling, terrified of being cut down by him.

On the mountainside, a resonant dragon’s roar echoed. Chen San’s palms surged with true energy as a blue dragon, ten feet long, rose to the sky, roaring and thrashing its tail with majestic power. With one strike, it shattered a rock formation two or three stories high.

"Sister, why don't you go to the guest room to rest? And Tiantian, hurry back to your room and play on the computer. I need to have a word with your sister," Nie Yun said to Zhuang Yawen and Tiantian.

"I agree. I refuse to believe that the lot of us are no match for those two evil cultivators!" Mu Yuchen stated, making his position clear.

"What mischief have you been up to?" Lu Yao, lying on his back, could not help but reach out a finger to poke at the wound at the corner of his eye.

Head Nurse Liu felt that if she knew where Dr. Lu was performing surgery, she might have gone straight to the operating room door to lie in wait; she certainly did not look like someone who had come to see Dr. Lu as a patient.

Bo Hanyuan had always loathed other people; had it not been for his medical research, he would never have forced himself to take on any case files.

As Xia Xue continued to dish out dumplings, letting Jacques carry them to the table, Jacques looked at her with a strange expression.

The smile playing on her lips was one Lu Junfeng had never seen before—different from the past. It was a smile both pure and seductive, one that made the heart skip a beat.

The body-molding process entering the tendon-solidifying stage made his meridians robust, ensuring that no matter how much he absorbed, he would no longer face the embarrassment of swelling up like a balloon. At the same time, compression became much easier.

Seeing Wang Luojie come out, Li Han merely nodded in acknowledgment before returning his attention to listening to Xu Yifei’s complaints on the phone.

Although Ruan Zhaotian was old, he had always been a man of loose morals; how could he possibly be impotent? How could he possibly be infertile?

She disliked being constrained—in her studies and in her life. Having to account for where she went and who she was with, or even needing someone else's approval to do things, made her quite unhappy.

The Black Mother fawned over the monsters, her self-abasing, pathetic demeanor showing not a trace of the grace of a cosmic avatar.

"Wait a moment? What is this about the demon tree and the green-whiskered birds you mentioned?" Jin Yang asked hurriedly.

The young man was furious at the sight. With a cold snort, he signaled to the person beside him. A burly man in his thirties rushed over and kicked out.

Ye Yu tilted slightly to dodge the terrifying sword aura. The aura struck a desolate mountain peak behind him, causing the entire peak to collapse and crumble into nothingness. The sheer destructive power of the Judgment Light from that holy sword was evident in that single strike.

The green indicator light on the public channel kept flashing; the pilot of the opposing machine was clearly saying something, but Karl knew he could not afford to pay attention to that. The opponent’s surprise attack truly possessed a speed surpassing any of the X-series he had encountered before.

Frowning at the sudden turn of events, Naruto was only slightly surprised. Immediately, an ominous aura erupted from his body as the Nine-Tails' crimson chakra surged forth, absorbing all the white foam.

At this moment, the landscape was one of lush, rolling mountains. Ancient trees pierced the clouds, standing tall and sturdy against the horizon. The mountains were majestic, their presence vast and imposing. The sky was clear and transparent, with patches of colorful auspicious clouds drifting across the blue expanse. Below lay the Great Wilderness, a deep forest filled with endless peril.

Even though his mind had been forever altered by this war in which he had briefly participated, he, like the vast majority of his compatriots, loathed war—hating it even more than those who had never experienced it.

By snatching the top prize from the jaws of adversity, AC Milan once again reigned supreme. How could one not be awed by such spirit?

"Vanished without a trace." The boy in black suddenly disappeared from the spot, and with him, his shadow on the ground also vanished. The moment the shadow vanished, the black spikes that had been fired also disappeared.
