Setting Fire to the Mountains

Due to the drought and the resulting famine, even the dogs in the village lacked the strength to bark. Every household went to sleep extremely early, leaving the entire journey silent and deserted.

Ruan Guiyue did not quite understand what that meant, but the mere thought of having blood drawn from her body made her ache intensely.

Ruan Guiyue gazed blankly at the boundless sky, and finally closed her eyes, awaiting the arrival of death.

Lin Baoyue made very meticulous arrangements, but since it was the first time for all four of them to shoulder such a "heavy responsibility," they still anxiously asked numerous questions for a long time.

This was a private-kitchen restaurant. From the outside, the decoration did not look particularly luxurious, but upon entering the interior, he discovered that some of the paintings hanging on the walls were genuine masterpieces.

Given how massive the incident last night had been, by the entire morning today, both the deputy director of the office in charge of the study month and the deputy head of the propaganda section came to confess their faults and beg for forgiveness.

"Do you want an ice pop?" Song Momo asked with a "Suck-Suck Ice" tube dangling in her mouth, her speech rather slurred as her right hand reached into the bag and handed a Top-Ice pop toward Xia Lian.

Since Madam Zhao spearheaded the initiative, no one raised any objections. After all, none of them had ever expected to make a huge fortune relying on the Traditional Chinese Medicine department; the real bulk of the profits came from the Western Medicine department.

Xiao Jingzheng's expression was stern, and his voice devoid of even a shred of warmth. Standing before Zhu Yue, he was simply like a completely different person.

Doubao was a pure extrovert—sociable and sweet-mouthed. Even if no one paid attention to him, he could chatter endlessly on his own.

This was also the thought of everyone who was still conscious at the scene. They quickly lifted the wounded and retreated into the elevator, then proceeded directly to the first floor of the Ministry of Magic, bringing the disheveled Fudge and his senior assistant to the office of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

"Look at these pearls, so large and perfectly round!" Haja also laughed cheerfully as he grabbed a handful of pearls, playing with them one by one.

Just at that moment, a cavalry unit of several dozen men suddenly charged out from the opposite alley, blocking their path.

Much like a knee-jerk reflex, because of the peculiar tactile sensation of the application, she could not help but let out a sound.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The urgent sound of a bronze gong rang out from Jia Jiu's contingent, carrying a great distance through the night.

Upon arriving at the Great Hall, Harry found that the rest of the Gryffindor team were huddled together along the empty long dining table, looking nervous, jittery, and tight-lipped. They had all witnessed the speed of the Nimbus 2001, which placed an immense amount of pressure on them.

The massive boulder beneath Xia Longyuan's feet shattered into pieces, and his figure darted out like lightning. His speed instantly broke the sound barrier, reaching three times the speed of sound, and he arrived in a fraction of a second.

Since these bailiffs had not put shackles on them, this was a golden opportunity for them. Why on earth would they pass up such a great chance and follow these imperial runners to that bitterly cold place of exile?

Seeing that the prisoners' water had been completely drunk and only the Su family members were still taking out water to drink from time to time, they snatched the water skins right out of their hands without a word.

Moreover, an increasing number of people came seeking pills, among whom quite a few were disguised agents from the Crown Prince's faction.

Seeing that Su Nan was not overthinking it, Su Jinluo breathed a sigh of relief, but still could not resist glaring at Jin Ye while Su Nan wasn't looking. She refused to believe that he hadn't foreseen this.

Qiuqiu watched from the side, thinking with a smile what it would be like if she shouted out "bow to each other as husband and wife" right at that moment.

Yet during their search, the personnel failed to discover even a shred of trace of any suspicious individuals. Within the entire laboratory perimeter, there were no traces of intrusion by outsiders, nor the slightest sign that any Blazing Fire Stones had been transported out.

In the battlefield left in shambles by Luo Yinglong's roaring thunder dragon, Zhang Jie was examining the remaining traces while speaking to Zheng Zha through the telepathic bond.

"Manager Ma, is it? Did you hear that? Are you leaving on your own now, or should we brothers carry you out?" Young Master Tang immediately chuckled and began rolling up his sleeves.

Such things were not entirely impossible for the future. Once Zhang Li'da's cultivation deepened, combined with statistics and permutations, perhaps he could forge a synthesis of cultivation and science, and mass production might not be out of the question by then.

"What is this fat idiot doing? Whatever, let's give him a hand," Tang Shuai muttered as he picked up a stone from the ground and hurled it directly.

In the one hundred and sixth divine kingdom, the sky lacked the winds of the nine heavens, draped instead in divine light of black and white. Su Jing's flight legion was capable of soaring to extreme heights, and that dual-colored divine light extended beyond a hundred thousand zhang into the sky, its thickness completely unfathomable.

The Five Elders had dealt with An Hezan quite a few times and understood him thoroughly. Seeing his reaction, they inevitably held higher expectations for Su Jinluo. Elder Zhou, who had been extremely curious about her from the start, nodded, and his eyes instantly lit up upon receiving the test paper.

Or rather, it was unlikely that any other person of sound mind could possibly believe it was real.

Awaiting one's doom passively had never been Kunpeng's style. Since Yang Mei and the others wanted to summon the Chaos Demons to destroy the Primordial Land, he preferred to use this opportunity to wipe out all the Chaos Demons in one fell swoop, completing the grand feat that Great God Pangu failed to accomplish back then, leaving not a single Chaos Demon to slip through the net.

Xu Jingjing also found it rather strange. Every time she went on duty, she could always notice that sneaky figure lingering in the corner. He seemed to be observing the captain—no, why was the captain fixing her gaze on herself?
