Chapter 113
As she spoke, she raised their clasped hands, allowing Chen Muyu and Sun Yuqin to clearly see the ring on her left ring finger.
It was the dead of winter, and for the third consecutive day, snow fell heavily. Few people were out on the streets; everyone remained huddled indoors. Li Xiuying simply tidied things up, thinking that she must hurry to the carpenter’s to get the kitchen dish rack built before her wedding, or there truly would be nowhere to put anything in the kitchen.
"What’s the rush? Let those two beasts struggle all they want. It won’t be too late to act once they’ve exhausted themselves," Old Third Li said, calm and collected.
Just as Uncle Hong was about to perform the final seal to detonate his Golden Core, Mina came speeding in an Audi A8L and, with a loud bang, sent him flying into mid-air.
Lanlan said nothing, watching the other person quietly. The other person watched her in return, and the two remained in a long, unbroken silence.
"This is Planet Bito, so there is no danger. Besides, I am going to look for the crystal stone, which is only natural. You, just stay here!" Dodo said.
Li Xiuying was indeed quite puzzled. Even if they were busy with training, it shouldn't mean they couldn't even celebrate the New Year, and she hadn't heard of any competitions they were supposed to be holding.
Shu Yao rarely had social engagements, and no prince’s mansion would have a concubine accompany guests. A concubine was like a canary raised in a cage. Niohuru felt she had it even worse than the mistresses kept by men in the modern age; at least they could go out shopping or chat with friends online in their rooms.
"Is there a red-light district in the city?" A voice filled with lewdness came from behind Luo Tianjiao, nearly causing her to stumble.
Zheng Suxin pondered at home for several days. After much hesitation, she finally decided that the matter was far too significant and made up her mind.
Tiansheng lifted his leg and stepped into the chaos. With a flicker before his eyes, he arrived before the Heavenly Mirror Terrace.
"This is going too far!" Lü Hong slammed his hand onto the nearby table, his face cold. The expressions of Lü Xiang'er and Zhaoxia were no better.
After expressing her gratitude, Yu Zi slowly retreated, keeping her head bowed and eyes lowered. Listening to the swordsman and the carriage depart, she smiled slightly.
The reactions of these two were very satisfying to Cha Cha. She had originally been wondering how to secure her position and strive to become Shen Yu’s concubine, but she hadn't expected to be pregnant at this moment! With this, how could Hanchu ever compare to her?
A single surprise attack had caused them great losses, and more importantly, it had left them completely stunned.
The Americans were quite cunning. Realizing they were at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation, they switched to hit-and-run tactics, avoiding physical contact as much as possible. They knew that if they could just hold out for three minutes, the Chinese would be considered defeated, allowing them to refuse an apology. Consequently, these guys began to retreat, merely putting on a show of force without launching any real attacks.
After giving them instructions and ordering the mining carts to stand by, Dachun entered the Earth-Flame Mining Area alone to greet the Earth-Flame Giants.
Tang Xihan and Luan Ge each felt a wondrous spiritual connection forming between themselves and their respective beasts, Tianming and Jingling, a closeness as if they were linked by blood. They could clearly perceive the spiritual information transmitted by the two spirit beasts; although it was not specific language, they could instantly understand what the other wished to express.
"Since Xiang'er and Brother Hong know I am here, they certainly won't leave." Zhaoxia picked up the letter and put it away, showing no intention of reading it in front of Huo Qingsong.
The battle between the corpses and ghosts continued. Without an overwhelming disparity in power, it might take days and nights to determine a winner, but Mo Bai’s ghost form was already at a distinct disadvantage.
Consort Xian held a higher rank than Consort Yu, so Consort Yu naturally stood up to greet her. Consort Xian wore a gentle smile and gestured for Consort Yu to sit back down.
However, what puzzled Liu Feng was why such a beautiful girl would say such things. There was only one reason: she lacked upbringing. Liu Feng watched as the girl walked straight up to him, raised her snow-white hand, and pinched his ear hard.
Yuan Shao led his army into the city. Although the streets were mostly paved with bluestone, the relentless rain had left every household soaked and in a state of ruin.
On this side, Madam Hua Qian told Madam Hua He everything she had seen, which made Madam Hua He feel uneasy.
The junior brother finally broke through the acupoints that Helian Ye had struck. Instead of rushing to stop the man in white from speaking, he grabbed Yuyu like lightning and planted a firm kiss on her cheek.
As she spoke, she used a white silk ribbon to violently tighten around Lin Baoshu’s neck. Lin Baoshu tried to struggle, but she knew no martial arts and was no match for so many people; she had no choice but to be held captive by them.
She could have let them struggle a bit longer, as they were now slandering her with every word, but because of what the Crown Princess had said, there was no need for her to say anything more.
Once his mind was made up, Rong Zhan hesitated no longer. He strode toward the outer courtyard; after all, the elder Madam Yang had only forbidden him from stepping outside the mansion gates, not restricting his freedom within the estate. He could naturally go to the outer courtyard, and besides, he had nowhere else to go at the moment.
"We are both one-man armies, yet we are on two different paths. The reason I am inferior to you is because my path requires less consumption?" Xiao Honglü watched Zheng Zha, who had already gone down to take charge of the troops, and sighed once again.
