Chapter 313: Accidentally Injured a Few Times
"Stop putting on a display of misery!" Han Ruoxi scoffed, sitting to one side with a towel draped over her shoulder.
"Training is exhausting, but is it really as exaggerated as you make it sound? It was just a few more laps and a handful of extra drills!"
"Easy for you to say!" Sun Yang rolled his eyes.
"You stand in the back row projecting electricity, so of course you're comfortable.
Try charging the front lines with a pulse rifle like me, and see if every single inch of your body isn't aching by the end of the day."
"Enough, you—"
When Ming Tian brought the male assassin over, not only was Xuanuan Ao present within the Hall of Pure Serenity, but even Prince An, Xuanuan Zun, stood in attendance, helping the emperor lean against the headboard.
Leng Qingxi and Wang Xin went without saying. Yu Nian's reaction remained as ordinary as ever, showing not a hint of joy or displeasure.
Luo Xue gasped, dropping the spoon from her hand to hastily raise Qingyi from the ground. "Qingyi, you have finally come; I have looked forward to your arrival for so long. At last, we are reunited." As she spoke, the corners of her eyes glistened with tears.
Jiang Sijing stared at the vast expanse of his exposed skin; he wore no trousers upon his legs, which now clamped tightly around hers. The realization that other great demons were present caused an involuntary shudder to run through her body.
I offered a faint smile. I had never been a covetous soul, and to be with An Ran in this manner was already enough to satisfy me. As for what the future held for us, that could only be left to the judgment of time.
She remembered that when this younger sister of hers had first left home, she had been brimming with ambition, eager to carve out a name for herself just as she had done. Now, however, that unyielding pride had vanished.
Jin Kuang peered inside from the exterior window, but the moment he pried it open a mere crack, he caught sight of someone—yet it was not Hua Qingcheng, but Ouyang Xue.
To my surprise, it was not long before the police actually arrived. After surveying the scene, an officer instructed the security guard to escort Gao Le to the hospital first. Meanwhile, flanked and restrained by two officers on either side, I stepped into a police car for the very first time in my life.
Turning around, I saw Karin pulling her car up to the entrance of the studio. She had just stepped out of the vehicle. It was quite obvious that she had come looking for me.
Beichen Xuan resolved to search for Yun Bing, returning home to dispatch his family's guard contingent with orders to bring her back.
"Yan'er," she laughed through her tears, "isn't that a bit childish?" Though the word left her lips, she still extended her finger to hook pinkies with Lin Zangtian.
However, the fat man, who had kept truths concealed from Li Ang and Aimee all this time, was far from being so optimistic. Surrounded by the ghostly flames, his legs gave a sudden convulsive kick, and he was frightened clean into unconsciousness once more.
Even so, he could not help but suspect whether Wuming was a mole from the Fiery Cloud Cave embedded within the Void Academy; this was truly, genuinely against the natural order of things.
Jinyu: In the internet era, all is interconnected, resources are shared and fully utilized. WeChat has arrived; use it in small measures. Grains of sand build a tower; drops of water form an ocean.
Zhao Jingzhi had been following that man clad in plain white mourning hemp from a distance. Having come to know that fragment of memory, she found herself yearning to uncover more, though a sense of dread now lingered in her heart. This memory made it difficult for her to discern who she truly was—was she Dongchuan, or was she the Zhao Jingzhi of this very moment?
Not far from where I stood, beneath a mound of earth at the southern edge of the Gale Array, a grey head suddenly popped into view.
Luo Yunshang and Du Ze of the northern region, Ye Shaobai and Ye Mo of the southern region, Chu Ao and Feng Wuji of the eastern region, and Yue Xianyu, Yue Xianling, and Xue Yuanduo of the western region.
Arriving upon the meteorite, Cui Bin swept his massive hand, placing Mei Lan's corpse upon the celestial stone before finding a spot to seat himself. Facing the vast universe shimmering with countless stars, his gaze softened.
Donning his armor, Xiao Mo lingered no longer, choosing instead to lead Xiong Li directly out of the cavern. With this matter resolved, it was time to initiate the next task. Although Xiong Li had surrendered to Xiao Mo on behalf of the Wild Bear Tribe, Xiao Mo had not yet determined his official duty and standing within Xiao Town.
Having conquered two factions in rapid succession, the army under An Dinguo had expanded to nineteen hundred men, though there had not been sufficient time to formally train them into proper soldiers within the barracks, which would have otherwise bolstered their combat prowess significantly. Nevertheless, the one thousand young and robust men previously conscripted from the Salt Town had now tasted blood, leaving their novice status behind.
The youth with spectacles raised his eyes, speaking with gravity: "Do not mock her; none of you are any better off. I have witnessed many who memorized the character components perfectly yet still had no inkling of how to type, abandoning the endeavor halfway through."
More and more people began to turn their coats, turning upon those they once knew, clamoring loudly in their declaration to uphold His Majesty and purge the wicked traitors.
Here, after all, resided a ruthless scoundrel who killed without blinking an eye! The imperial palace had become like his own residence, a nest usurped by a dove.
Yet, just over a meter away from him, Huang Chengjiang suddenly twisted his body, reaching out to seize Nanan by the shoulder before swiftly retreating.
He returned home only once every fortnight or so; if he did not feed her appetite fully, what if she wandered outside to satisfy it?
Qin Zhen bore an imperial mandate and held the rank of a Duke, yet Cao Pi demanded that he speak from beneath the city walls. Did that not mean he would have to look upward to reply to the battlements? What sort of status did Cao Pi think he possessed?
Just as Qin Zhen felt his heart hammering violently, a voice suddenly echoed beside his ear.
"Oh, goodness, there are people outside..." Qin Lan could no longer maintain her composure, uttering a tender reproach before dissolving into playful laughter and banter with Wu Xiangjun.
Furthermore, although the Spirit Realm was governed by the Ten Kings of Hell, their jurisdiction was confined strictly within the city walls; outside, it was a lawless territory beyond anyone's control.
Chen Qing was equally filled with perplexity; Su Ma's martial arts proficiency was simply too low, and it was already no easy feat for the Northern Gang to secure a victory. This move would undoubtedly make the task far more arduous.
The opponent's Chaos Azure Lotus suppressed virtually all magical arts, rendering even its most proudly held innate divine ability—the Venomous Rain—entirely useless.
Wu Yue remained in a state of heightened spiritual sight, and when the hanged ghost manifested, her countenance turned pale once more with fright.
There were the Crown Prince's retainers, the three courts including the House Secretariat, and the ten offices including the Left and Right Guards. Among these, the Left and Right Guards of the Crown Prince held command over the Eastern Palace's weaponry and ceremonial guards, while also overseeing the garrison soldiers of the five households: the Close, the Meritorious, the Vanguard, the Broad, and the Relief.
Concentrating his mental fortitude into his legs, Li Junyi leapt three hundred meters to the side, carrying Lu Wu upon his head.
"I have come in all sincerity to dissolve our grievances, hoping that everything might end here—a life for a life, what say you?" Xiaoyao spoke, looking earnestly at Shi Ziling.
"Is Sister Keyan there? I wish to speak with her," I inquired further, suppressing the fierce urge to force my way through the door.
At this moment, upon both his flanks, countless living beings knelt in submission, wailing and trembling as they prostrated themselves in worship, as though offering a sacrifice, treating Xiaoyao as the ultimate offering to the heavens.
