Chapter 149: Slip of the Finger
“Mr. Liang tied up my people just to chat about these trivial matters?” Shen Liangyan spoke, pulling back the arm that Wen Han had grasped. His long, slender fingers tapped lightly on the table as he tossed a chip forward, his tone calm and indifferent. “Is this really Mr. Liang’s intention?”
Perhaps it was Shen Liangyan’s sharp gaze that made him uneasy, or maybe it was because he was clearly in a position of advantage…
He Siwei, however, was not being disrespectful to Jiang Qiu; rather, she was genuinely curious about what Weng Xilan meant.
The emperor was quite pleased to hear this, but little did he expect that Zhao Tai would come to the palace and straightforwardly ask him, “What must I do for you, your Majesty, for you to entrust me with the position of prime minister?”
That was why the villagers both revered and feared this river—because if one fell in and could not be rescued in time, the body would never be found intact.
Otherwise, why would so many leaders in various organizations warn, “Beware of fire, theft, and reporters”?
In the end, as the day grew late, Sun Xianghong urged everyone to rest early, and only then did they put down their tasks.
Xiao Muyang paid no heed to Xing Fan’s words. Power flowed between his palms, a fusion of ice and fire. He struck out with both hands, the icy flame palm prints colliding with the shadows of the Star Hammer, causing the space around them to tremble violently before both the palm prints and hammer shadows shattered explosively.
Even the ninth sword of the Wind and Cloud Thirteen Swords, unleashed by the demonic Lu Chen, was shattered outright by the Eastern Emperor Bell.
“Fox Celestial Venerable,” someone from the ancient clan recognized him. He was the Celestial Venerable of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox tribe, still in his prime with undiminished lifespan, unrestricted in his strikes, inspiring dread in others.
But the Overlord could only inflict limited damage on Jiang Chen’s fists, causing them to bleed but at worst breaking the bones visibly, which healed almost instantly.
“Xiao Muyang, as the first-place winner of this Eastern Splendor Banquet, you may choose any treasures such as spirit weapons, spirit arts, or elixirs below the sixth rank. Should you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation, you may seek help from the experts at the Eastern Splendor Mansion. No one will refuse you, including myself,” Gong Ling said solemnly.
As Zhang Haonan finished speaking, suddenly Cui Hao’s expression changed drastically. His demeanor turned serious and solemn as he looked up toward the hillside. At that moment, the ground began to tremble.
More critically, the 343mm naval gun had an extremely long range, far exceeding that of the 120mm gun. If the British adopted the right tactics, they would be forced into a helpless position, only able to endure attacks without striking back. Thus, Lin Fei decided to equip the new battleships with larger-caliber cannons.
Ye Xing’s momentum had reached its peak. Faced with this sword strike, he no longer dodged but instead launched a powerful fist.
He had always known Zhou Yiqing’s aloof nature, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the mocking smile on Zhou Yiqing’s face opposite him.
Zheng Weimin understood Old Zhang’s meaning and quickly joined in his call, stepping out of the car.
But in this lifetime, Huang Yaoshi paid little attention to this martial art because Feng Heng was still around. The sorrowful melody of the “Rising Tide of the Blue Sea” was always tinged with sadness, yet with Feng Heng by his side, Huang Yaoshi’s life was truly happy and fulfilled. How could he possibly play such a mournful tune constantly?
Though Cao Penghai was honest and did not covet wealth, and had little money himself, his wife Li Ru was never like other officials’ wives, greedy and complaining as if not profiting from office was abnormal. This comforted Cao Penghai greatly, and County Magistrate Qiao Dongping often praised him for having found a good wife.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly fallen demon had such sharp eyes that he immediately spotted the most valuable magical artifact on Tang Fan.
Several male employees hurriedly turned around, scratching their heads awkwardly and said, “President Tang, hehe, we’re going back to work now!” With that, they quickly dispersed in a flurry.
