Chapter 105: King vs. King

Zhang Erzhu couldn't stay away for long. After chatting with Zhang Dazhu for a while, he went back to work.

Zhang Dazhu sat there, head bowed, staring blankly into space by himself.

Song Ruize led five subordinates in tidying up the warehouse. An hour later, under Qin Huiyin's guidance, the warehouse was completely transformed.

Qin Huiyin also taught Jiang Qingnan how to create tables, using different spreadsheets to organize the data.

At this moment, Qin Huiyin wore the face of an innocent, guileless young girl in everyone's eyes—

But in truth, only the merfolk themselves knew what it truly meant to take that step into a world of boundless allure.

"L-Lord Yemang, you... you're still alive?" Blood Sun asked in a trembling voice, and moved to kneel before Lin Yi.

The Uchiha clan's current situation was hardly favorable. Compared with the Hyuga clan's sterling reputation, the Uchiha had produced a most powerful rogue ninja decades earlier, and more recently had come under suspicion of manipulating the Nine-Tails. The Hyuga, by contrast, had merely seen a single branch family member defect—and that defector had been locked in an irreconcilable conflict with the main house in Konoha.

As time drew nearer to August, news that the National Political Consultative Conference was about to convene spread across the length and breadth of the land. All the democratic parties, patriotic figures, and ordinary citizens turned their attention to Chongqing.

Jiang Mingye was too stricken to speak. He pulled her into his arms, his hands pressing tightly against her back.

That sequence of moves was no small feat; before she even finished, she was drenched in sweat. For a better visual effect, her entire body was wrapped in strands of shimmering ambient light.

On the fourth day of the conference, Lin Yi finally took the stage. When his number was called, the audience remained utterly calm—not the cheers and screams of the day before.

Even if they could not fly together in paired bliss or enjoy a perfect reunion under a full moon, they were resolved to hold fast to the vows in their hearts, never lowering their standards, never lightly letting go, prepared to stake their entire lives on the bet.

Lin Chang'an and Nangong Rong walked slowly beneath the streetlights, pushed open a door, and stepped inside to survey the place.

Hyuga Mirai's words of thanks were genuine. The combat forces had been relocated to the Land of Rivers by Orochimaru, leaving only the garrison ninja behind in Kikyo Castle.

After Duan Wei and Dong Yue finished speaking, the other officers in the hall joined in with unanimous praise. From their reactions, Hua Xiong could tell that the assembled officers already held considerable trust in him—with just a bit more effort, he could turn them all into his own confidants.

Another old commander glanced at Gu Mo'er with a complicated expression, unfastened the jade pendant at his waist, and tossed it to Kurumi.

The inexperienced recruits were caught completely off guard, their chests stained a vivid scarlet with the red dye.

Earlier, Imperial Concubine De had already told Feng Qiqi that she knew everything and that there was no need for her to train in secret. Feng Qiqi was overjoyed to hear this.

"Of course it's delicious—I absolutely love it! If someone brought me this yogurt every day, I'd die happy!" Shen Jiahao said.

Yu Fei coughed and turned his head to look elsewhere, because without a doubt, not only did he have to go, he had to bring people along with him.

Hearing Feng Qiqi's words, she was taken aback for a moment, gently bit her lip, and lowered her head deeply.

The man stood far away, unable to accurately sense just how immense a torrent of dragon energy Xu Han was enduring.

He nearly couldn't hold back a roar, but fear of waking Chen Jin and Ji Qiong kept his voice low—yet boundless doubt still seeped out from his throat.

Chen Xuanji, his expression stern, was startled, as though he had not expected Meng Liang to ask such a question.

"You don't need to look at me so strangely. I'm fine. Isn't having gossip about me a sign that I'm still fairly popular?" Long Zhiyan said with a smile, seeming to take the news in stride.

Yoona's four-dimensional applause led Kang Ho-dong to form a favorable assessment of his own acting, and so he launched into another performance. "So you think I'm good?" Kang Ho-dong turned slightly to the side. "I don't want to be your oppa. I just want to be your boyfriend."
