Volume One, Chapter 26: Double Kill!

Xuanxuan said nothing, silently helping her pour some clean water to wash her face and hair. She reasoned that if the girl had the ambition to climb higher, she would certainly not be resigned to her fate, let alone throw herself into a well so easily.

The two teams were bitter local rivals, and every time they faced off, the atmosphere was exceptionally explosive, driving the entire city into a frenzy.

After handing over the large pile of money they had just seized back from Ye Zihao—money he had originally taken from Yang Ming—to Yang Ming, Li Song and the others waited eagerly for their share of the dividends.

The Sixth Prince exchanged a few words with Zhen Shu and then suggested they all play a game of archery at flower targets, which everyone was eager to try.

But Miss Li could not understand it; her father had clearly replaced all the weapons used by their subordinates! How could there still be weapons with the "Great Qi Official Manufacture" mark?

Director Lan retreated quickly, waving his hand at the people surrounding them, telling them to stay back so as not to harm the innocent.

After allocating the ownership of the Star Sand Ring, the remaining 500 Mirror Crystals were split equally between the two.

In all fairness, Masayoshi Igarashi had a pale complexion and puffy eyes, with heavy dark circles beneath them.

It was only after becoming a priest that he deeply understood a truth: if Yahweh were still alive, he would surely be a guerrilla fighter.

Qiao Rui was a ruthless man. Seeing Liu Bei’s army occupy the city gate, he immediately ordered the men to set it on fire! The lamp oil stored in the gatehouse was poured out. Once the fire started, it would not be easily extinguished. Zhang Fei saw that the flames were too intense and had no choice but to lead his men down from the city walls.

However, regarding security, due to Chen Jia’s intervention, the two reinforced platoons originally arranged were withdrawn and replaced by Chen Jia alone.

She casually picked up a remote control from beside the sofa in the car and pressed a button, causing a screen to descend inside the vehicle.

Hearing the words of the Chongzhen Emperor, Zhou Xian said no more, though he felt curious about whether he could truly be considered to have helped Yang Sichang.

"Set your mind at ease. As for any other rewards you might want, let us wait until you have completed this great adventure in the world of Shuke and Beta before we speak of them."

Seeing that they were about to reach their destination after making a turn, a car shadow flashed by with a "whoosh" outside the window, and the right side mirror of the MK4 was nearly clipped off by the neighboring vehicle.

Upon hearing this, Pang Qi, Rong He, and Xiong Xingteng felt a strange sensation arise within them.

To be honest, Rick was extremely shocked when Xue Feng truly appeared. He had not expected that anyone could hide themselves so well; even when less than a meter away, they remained undetectable, with even their scent completely masked. Such an ability was simply unheard of.

Lost! Bai Feifan’s mood grew even worse, and his stomach began to growl with hunger. However, Ling Aisi was an undead and did not feel hunger at all, so she had no intention of stopping to look for food, and Bai Feifan had no choice but to endure it.

No matter how potent the medicinal properties of a duck egg might be, it could only be used as an ingredient; there was no such thing as using duck eggs as medicinal herbs.

"Meng'er, what is wrong?" Lin Qingxuan was the first to notice the abnormality and cried out in alarm, his youthful face filled with concern.

Wang Wenjing wanted to speak, but seeing the situation, she realized she would gain nothing by interjecting, so she decided to hold her tongue. However, with Wei Lanying present, she and Xiao Yunfei were unable to proceed with their work, and she began to feel a sense of resentment toward Wei Lanying.

Mo Fan was caught off guard by her sudden shift in attitude, but fortunately, his mental resilience was quite good.

"It is already much better." Ye San only had a plaster stuck to the back of his head, appearing to be in no serious danger.

The housing price in Shangao County was three thousand, while in the capital, it was sixty thousand. A bowl of Henan braised noodles cost eight yuan in Shangao County, while in the capital, it cost twenty-four.

Cao Yuyi was the same as before, but one could tell from his expression that he had been through quite a struggle during this time.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang—" Four consecutive sounds of metal clashing rang out. Xiao Yunfei’s short blade collided with the four opponents' triangular military daggers, creating a crisp sound. But when Xiao Yunfei attempted to slash back with his signature speed, he encountered their defensive style, which blocked his counterattack.

Mo Fan’s face darkened, and he crushed the jade slip, wishing he could activate "Battle Heaven" right now to beat this guy up.

Gu Xifeng’s expression shifted unpredictably. It took a long time for him to return to normal before he flicked his sleeves and turned to enter the room.

Ling Feng tapped his feet lightly, seizing the chance to dodge to the side. He nodded in agreement, saying solemnly.

Chu Yue’s eyes crinkled into crescents as she smiled. Even though he knew she was just being mischievous, Xie Siyun realized he had no way to refuse a Chu Yue like this.

The leader looked like a member of the royal family—delicate and fair-skinned—but his eyes were exceptionally sinister. Looking at their clothing, Chu Yue could not discern where these soldiers came from.

Luo Xing could not stand Elder Mu’s arrogant face, so instead of writing his own family name, he wrote the two characters for "Great Hermit," a direct insult to Elder Mu.

Aihua heard Qin Baisui’s words, and the oppressive aura instantly dissipated. Her consciousness sank into memories, her expression complex, appearing both happy and sad.

If the centennial bond between the Zhang siblings and the Qiu siblings had turned out like this, then what of her and her Third Sister? Why had her Third Sister betrayed her?

In the quiet forest, there was not a scrap of food or a drop of water to be found. If things continued this way, let alone traveling back and forth to Longyuan Mountain within a month, even arriving there would be difficult.

The portly Potato narrowed his eyes and walked over to Gou Buchiao, looking down at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

Wave after wave, the Imperial Guards held a massive advantage in numbers. These arrows and falling rocks could only briefly delay the archers' advance up the mountain. But to completely rout them was, fundamentally, impossible.

He thought to himself: in truth, he now had two great assets; one was his combat power, or martial value, of 600; the other was the secret medical manual of the Underworld Valley Divine Needles.
