Chapter 140: Fellow Countryman, It’s Me!

"Will this actually work?"
Whale hesitated, feeling that this plan sounded utterly unreliable.
Getting them brought in by the opposition, then kidnapping the very target their allies are protecting, and finally having them escort us out? Are you sure this isn't just complete nonsense?
"Don't worry, the connection is rock solid."
Zhang Liang patted his chest with absolute confidence. They were fellow villagers who had carried rifles together in the trenches!
"Trust him. This guy really knows how to make friends."
Zhen Ye placed a hand on Whale’s shoulder. Besides, anyone Zhang Liang considers a friend is, in certain respects...
"The depths of this dense forest are the territory of us Corpse Walkers. You Exterminators are far too arrogant; I advise you not to court your own destruction. Furthermore, there are many secrets here regarding our kind that are best left unearthed. Do not say I didn't warn you if you lose your lives." The blue-eyed Corpse Walker issued a stern warning to the group.
Having never possessed anything, one never knew what it meant to lose, and thus, never feared the prospect of loss.
Yao Ping immediately turned to relay the instructions, while Zhao Dashan, despite his Silver Five-Star strength, remained motionless.
At this, Zhou Yafu grinned broadly at Li Jinghong. The latter looked somewhat helpless at having his position usurped, but ultimately could only roll his eyes and let the matter drop.
Prince Xin continued to hold her, his eyes still lowered in a faint smile. Without even glancing at Princess Zhou, he said, "Since these flowers are beautiful, you should enjoy them with us." Princess Zhou stared straight at Prince Xin, tears seemingly on the verge of spilling from her eyes.
Pei Luan squinted, guardedly surveying the people outside the door: a middle-aged man in ordinary attire, an old man with a somewhat ethereal, sage-like air, and a young child whose gender was impossible to discern.
With a soft "whoosh," Guo Lin’s figure appeared by the riverbank, which reflected the moonlight. Gazing at the bright lights emanating from the villa, a warm smile touched the corners of his mouth. At this hour, they must have just finished dinner. He wondered if Xiang'er had eaten yet.
But now, with the Cheng Army playing a game of chess to the north and the Huai Army marking boundaries to the west, the country was fractured and torn apart. With the great powers watching like tigers stalking their prey, besieged by internal strife and external threats, Father was forced into peace talks with the Ye Army in the south.
She had once fantasized that if she revealed those truths, would her second brother change his opinion of her? Would he look at her in a different light?
With arrogant eyes hidden behind long, narrow phoenix-like lids, Ye Chengxuan’s voice was as chilling as millennial ice, piercing straight to the heart. Everything was exactly as it had been when they first met; nothing had changed at all.
Ye Li felt that her third pregnancy was very different from the first two. This child was inexplicably quiet and well-behaved, and she, being a careless mother, hadn't even realized his existence until three months had passed.
"Awake, are you? I was just praising your heroic spirit, and now you’ve turned into a coward?" Zhao Yu pulled Su Qianqian toward the cabin door.
She was someone who excelled at going whichever way the wind blew, and she was determined to seize this perfect opportunity to curry favor with Ning En.
When the words "Come up" appeared on the phone screen, Jian Tong decisively powered off the device. The image on the other end abruptly collapsed into a void of black, vanishing all sound and sight.
Ye Li sat down, feeling a sense of agitation in her heart, unable to fathom why Lady Qin had suddenly appeared.
"I don't think we need to look for any shoes. We should just pool our money and buy a new pair," Emma said, lifting her chin with an air of arrogance.
A series of bland laughs suddenly broke the silence. The players looked toward the source of the sound, only to see Yun Tianlan, Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Skull Sect, strolling leisurely toward Zhou Sicong.
Nie Zihe acted as if he had been granted a talisman of immortality. With a father like that, he was practically the king of the world, second to none.
Bai Zihua sat with perfect posture, eating with elegant composure, though his expression was somewhat detached—colder than usual, as if he were in a foul mood.
From this point on, the world would be peaceful and the years quiet. Ye Li thought that, in the end, she was not completely empty-handed. She had gained Qin Lang and preserved herself. Even if Qin Lang did not love her, they could still live out their lives together in quiet companionship, just like many other couples.
