Chapter 111: You and I Are the Best Allies

Xu Yu continued to make things up casually. “The afternoon of the eighteenth, at five o’clock. That’s two days from now, so I’ve already booked the Third Master’s plane ticket.”

In truth, the ticket had been arranged by Madam Shen. But as long as everything was handled properly, Mother Shen certainly would not mind.

“Good.” Shen Liangyan’s deep, seductive eyes flickered faintly, dark light shimmering within them.

The following afternoon, just after Xu Yu had seen off Shen Yue...

Hearing this, Daiyu looked toward Wang Xifeng. Sister Feng gave a bitter smile and recounted the whole affair. In the end, it was still Madam Wang and Concubine Zhao stirring up trouble. Ever since Madam Wang had been confined to her quarters, Li Wan was said to be managing the inner household of the second branch—but how could she possibly interfere in her father-in-law’s rooms?

Moreover, according to Ma Qiao, not long after that slave ship left, it mysteriously sank. Every slave aboard it gained their freedom.

Xiao Yao clenched his fists and summoned every ounce of strength in his body. His entire face flushed an intense crimson from the rush of blood, and golden holy flames erupted with a roar, instantly condensing into a great golden shield above his head.

At Huyan Zhuo’s command, drums and horns resounded throughout the Song army’s ranks. Squad after squad of infantry stood in orderly formation and began advancing slowly. Swordsmen, spearmen, and pikemen led the way, with archers and crossbowmen behind them. Spears and lances rose like a forest, while the arrows gleamed with an icy chill.

After clearly identifying the source of the voice-transmitting sword talisman, Liu Rushi’s expression changed. Not daring to delay, she immediately sent word to the demon monkey and reported the matter.

The next moment, Hua Ye suddenly lost all contact with the dark energy. The Void Greatsword in his hand became much lighter as well, as though something had hollowed it out from within.

This trait was reflected not only in their personalities but even more so in the things they created— they were not necessarily practical, but they were always beautiful.

Ye Su’er’s limpid, glistening eyes made Ning Bei’s heart tremble. For an instant, he felt an urge to pull her into his arms, but he still managed to restrain himself.

Before Song Jiang could say another word, Mu Xu and the other two surrounded him and escorted him toward the teahouse. Once they arrived, the three of them took their seats. Only a moment later, Granny Yan came in with Yan Po惜.

Seeing that the empire was about to be destroyed, the Tang Emperor told Jiang Ning that his branch had never been destined to produce an emperor; they had merely been protecting the throne on behalf of others.

Chen He was utterly baffled by her. They had only recently begun seeing each other, and he did not yet understand Yun Duo very well.

Michelle naturally had no objections and followed directly behind them. The weather was poor today, leaving the sky utterly dark; there was no chance of seeing stars or the moon.

Shui Yang, you have been through it yourself. You know how difficult pregnancy can be, and how painful it is to endure it without anyone by your side. You went through it once before, and now Xiaoxiao is experiencing the same thing.

“Hmph! Who’s worried about a bastard like you? I simply don’t want my Battle Will Contract to go to waste.” Hua Zheng snorted coldly, her voice filled with anger.

Qing Feng said nothing more. With a sweep of the emerald sword in his hand, a purple wave of light tore through the air. Before the burly man in black could react, he was severed across the chest in an instant, and his entrails spilled across the ground.

“Chen Kuang?” Erdao suddenly turned toward Madam Zheng, a fierce, blood-red glare flashing in his eyes. If they had not accepted this family’s commission, how could they have encountered that monstrous young man? Now, their entire group might even perish here.

Leng Yaowu wore an expression of sudden understanding. Even the old fox Leng Zhongguo showed not the slightest doubt about the truth of her words.

Leng Xiang naturally was not foolish enough to announce it everywhere. When she suddenly caught sight of Cang Sheng, she was so shocked that her soul nearly fled her body. Yet she bit down hard on her lip, forcibly suppressing the urge to rush forward, drink her blood, and tear her bones apart.

“Not bad. Can we enter the formation imprisoning the green elves?” Chen Kuang asked arrogantly, cutting straight to the point.

Dongfang Ye finally managed to draw another breath, but in his gradually dimming eyes, tiny points of cold light began to flicker.

After Colonel Mori was killed in the explosion, Japan’s 71st Infantry Regiment was surrounded and annihilated in its entirety. Lieutenant Colonel Higashimune, the acting regimental commander, burned the regimental flag, then charged toward the Northeast Army’s tanks with the standard-bearer, each man carrying a land mine. The two of them perished together with the tank.
