Volume One, Chapter 44: Attending the Celebration Party

Huo Tingxiao gave him a cold glance.

"You care that much?"

Sun Feng curled the corners of his mouth. He was just anxious on behalf of their regimental commander.

As things stood now, it looked somewhat like the emperor was not worried, but the eunuch assisting him certainly was.

"Commander, Political Commissar Yu specifically sent someone over to say that you should bring your wife along this time."

Huo Tingxiao's sharp and cold eyes deepened slightly.

He pulled out the document, read it carefully, and signed his name.

With a cold voice, he asked, "What date is the social gathering?"

Sun Feng's eyes lit up instantly.

"Commander, it's on September 3rd, the day after tomorrow, Wednesday at noon. The location is the main auditorium at the literary and art troupe."

In the past, the commander practically never attended such social gatherings.

Every time they led...

Yan Fei manipulated his mental power to form a shockwave, just about to deal a heavy blow to the mutated ancient giant crocodile, when he was suddenly stunned by the scene before him. The mental power shockwave in his hands stopped abruptly, and then Yan Fei and Qin Yuxin stood there blankly, staring at the mutated ancient giant crocodile right in front of them, too shocked to utter a word.

On the bed, Qin Qiong suddenly had a brilliant glint in his eyes and turned to look at Lan Jiaye. "Can it really be cured?" Following that, he looked toward his sworn brother Cheng Yaojin, and seeing him nod with absolute certainty as well, the dark clouds seemed to scatter from his face as a rosy flush began to appear.

Wang Rou felt a chill strike her heart under the Emperor Longwu's passing glance, as if her entire being had been seen through and thoroughly penetrated by his gaze, leaving all her secrets with nowhere to hide.

Ji Chengche could not help letting her imagination run wild. Given the cultivation levels of Gui Wuxie and True Person Tianhe, unless they encountered a surprise encirclement and ambush by powerhouses of the Saint Realm, who under the heavens could possibly injure them even slightly? Perhaps the two of them had simply chosen to live in seclusion from then on and no longer concern themselves with worldly affairs. If that were truly the case, she should indeed congratulate Gui Wuxie and wish from afar that he would soon be blessed with children.

"Do you know now? There are always people better than you, and heavens beyond our own skies. Wang Pengfei's calculation speed is simply not something you can imagine. If you don't believe my words, you have the opportunity to go ask Zhao Jincheng and see what he has to say about it." Wu Yongquan concluded in the end.

In just this brief moment, they had achieved a harmony between generals and soldiers, fighting together with a shared purpose—truly efficient and powerful. How many people exhausted their efforts and spent a long time trying to build precisely this kind of team cohesion and harmonious atmosphere, yet he had summoned it effortlessly, as if it were entirely natural.

What amazed Lan Jiaye was that after switching to the moonlight flying disk, many virtual lines seemed to suddenly appear in the skies above the Daluo Continent, with one of them glowing red to guide the flying disk toward its destination.

"Haha, your husband cherishes you too much to ever bully you! If I'm going to bully you, I'll only do it in bed." Yan Fei laughed proudly and heartily.

With the execution of the Water-Escape Puppet technique, the surging waves before it rose abruptly from the ground, transforming into a wall of water that blocked the incoming magma sphere.

"Xueyan, I need to go. Tie Yuan seems to be up to something again," Xue Leng said, stroking Tang Xueyan's soft hair.

Ever since then, whenever Mu Feng mentioned his master in front of Qi Nuoyan, the latter would simply turn around and walk away. After a few repetitions, Mu Feng finally confirmed that Qi Nuoyan must have realized his intentions, yet out of consideration for their past friendship, she chose not to make things explicit or act too ruthlessly.

Wu Chen: Yes, I like the pipa because of its moving melodies. Since ancient times, most people who played the pipa were beauties, and I sincerely hope to find a kindred spirit and beauty through playing it.

As he spoke, the lecherous gaze of Jiuyao kept sweeping over Yun Shangwu, while Yun Shangwu angrily fished out a few hidden weapons and concealed them in her sleeves, preparing to strike.

At this moment, Zheng Dan instead spoke up on behalf of Zhuang Ya, and Teng Qingshan's initial worries also melted away, a gratified smile blooming on her face.

In the blink of an eye, they had graduated from university for a full week already. Over this past week, they had run through virtually every job fair venue. The steadily rising temperatures, however, could not bring them the outcomes they desired. They felt like dumplings boiled in a pot, or pork belly searing in a pan, overwhelmed by all sorts of vexation and anxiety.

Xue Leng knew that if he couldn't even break this layer of light shield right now, he might as well wait to lose or be worn down to death.

When she stroked the ginseng leaves, the ginseng seemed to move with a conscious awareness, looking as though it truly adored Tang Xueyan.

Xu Feng went to apprentice at the Qingyun Sect and inexplicably went missing, an incident that infuriated the Spring Festival Gala's director team and even briefly sparked rumors that he would be blacklisted. This had frightened Huang Guigui into a panic; after talking until he was blue in the face and making a pile of promises, he finally persuaded the director team to agree to let Chen Junjie perform solo on stage.

However, right at that moment, Yan Dong suddenly saw Du Jiaojiao pull out another dagger. Seeing this, Yan Dong thought to himself: Is she planning to eat a Western meal?

In the end, everyone plucked up their courage, intending to follow the tall boy's instructions and snatch Xiao Jiu's bundle away.

"Then what on earth is going on here? Are you sure what that mysterious person said can be trusted?" Hearing Yan Dong's words, Ye Batian still asked with some disbelief.

As soon as Yan Dong ended his conversation with Kong Yuhan, he sank into deep thought, pondering how to deal with those mercenaries who were coming to capture him.

Returning to the room, Yan Dong saw the Lightning Cat sitting in a chair sipping tea, looking quite leisurely and at ease.

Hearing Jiang Na's voice, Xue Wei and everyone else inside the room were quite startled. Even Jiang Na had come; it seemed they really were saved this time.

Upon hearing this name, Yan Dong could not help but think of the Star Blue Research Institute, but upon second thought, these were definitely two completely different matters.

Luo Yuanqian told him: Nanxin is carrying my child. If you don't want the child to grow up without a father, let me go; otherwise, she will hate you for the rest of her life.

Seeing the Fire Dragon Soldier and that blue dragon disappear, Yan Dong was momentarily at a loss, thinking to himself: According to the attributes the Fire Dragon Soldier told me, that dragon should belong to the water attribute. As the saying goes, water and fire are incompatible—I suppose another fierce battle is unavoidable.

"Total trash! You must have taken shortcuts to pass the legendary class awakening quest, right? Otherwise, with your strength, how could you possibly win against..." The Strongest-Ever Tremor continued to chatter away loftily.
