Chapter 66: Having Fu Qixi Live at the Ye Residence
She even considerately added the word "finally" at the end, just in case the other person didn't understand.
Ye Zhixuan: ......
Yu Fanrou: Just clap silently, you'll be ready to be a widow sooner or later anyway.
An ex-husband's widow.
Ye Zhixuan was stunned, a surge of belated disbelief, astonishment, and the thought "I must be seeing things" washing over his face all at once.
"I am your father! Who taught you to ask something like that? Was it your mother? Even if I beat her to death, she is still my wife!"
The hundred-meter stretch ahead was undoubtedly another death line heavily monitored by the enemy. Across this distance, bomb craters were densely packed, which explained why supplying the front line there was extremely difficult. Looking further, the destination trenches had no vegetation whatsoever, littered only with scattered stones and shell craters everywhere.
One had to admit that these enemy agents not only excelled at jungle warfare, but their self-rescue skills were also extraordinary and highly experienced.
Had it not been a matter concerning the Fiery Banyan Heavenly Lord, the Bull Demon King would likely have long since abducted Li Yingqiong and taken her back to Mount Accumulating Thunder to add her to his collection of concubines.
In Yang Yi's impression, this hazel tree ought to be deeply uncanny, so he observed it from afar without spotting anything abnormal. The only unusual thing was that although it was winter, the tree still held a multitude of withered yellow leaves. Aside from that, everything was completely normal—so normal that Yang Yi found it thoroughly baffling.
They first encountered the Detroit Pistons. Larry Brown was no longer the head coach; having lost confidence after consecutive failed championship bids, coupled with the rise of the new powerhouse Miami Heat, dissatisfaction with his own standing within the team, and health issues, he chose to retire.
That made sense. With the entire city under siege, merchant caravans couldn't enter. Even if people had the heart to buy grain and were willing to pay several times the price, sorry—there was nowhere to buy it. Having money was useless when you couldn't spend it.
Some guessed that there must be a village up on that mountain, others claimed those people belonged to a martial arts sect, some thought they were traveling together for leisure, and even more absurdly, some suggested they had come to join in admiration of Tianxuanzi's great reputation. This left Zhawei and his companions utterly sweating with embarrassment.
Silk curtains as white as snow stretched across before everyone, behind which a slender, graceful figure sat in faint, hazy outline, mysterious and tranquil.
"If this is the case, won't we never be able to capture District 20?" a ghoul demanded challengingly, and the others nodded in agreement. From this, one could also tell how deeply rooted the invincible image of the One-Eyed Owl was in the hearts of ghouls.
Suddenly, a burst of celestial music sounded, lingering leisurely in the ears. wisps of green lotus aura coiled around the body of the Fiery Banyan, making it seem as though he were situated deep within chaos, faintly isolated from the entire Primordial World.
Zheng Feng had one regret: he wanted to time-travel back to witness the chaotic battlefield firsthand, but the damned cooldown period was still nowhere near finished. What a pain in the ass.
The strange thing was that after the showdown at Azure Cloud Peak, many factions whose strength was only slightly below that of the three major powers suddenly fell silent. Not only did they stop sending people out to search, but they even recalled the disciples they had previously dispatched one by one. The Cloud Firmament Gate was prominently among them.
Especially Jia Mei; Zhao Yucheng held no affection for her whatsoever. How to get Zhao Yucheng to accept Jia Mei was a massive dilemma.
Then the footage changed to the entrance of SG Hospital, showing scenes of guides clutching their heads and screaming, "It hurts so much, help me."
The Chenliu soldiers who had been scattered around fighting the Yellow Turban soldiers, seeing the Yellow Turban army retreat, followed the arrangements of Xu Huang and Zhang Ren. Alongside Liu Bei and Yang Feng, they returned to Liu Ye's side.
If a senior expert at the Return-to-Truth Realm were to personally come and invite him, he would probably have no choice but to join one of these factions, and by then, he would have no freedom left to speak of. Although he possessed the Heaven-Astonishing Illusion Array and need not fear those of the Return-to-Truth Realm, barring absolute necessity, he naturally preferred not to offend them.
