Volume 1, Chapter 51: Distributing Supplies for Relief, The Strategic Terrain of Dingxiang!

"It's fine, I didn't like it much anyway." Erina Nakiri, who had already changed from her light gauze dress into a T-shirt and cropped jeans, shoved her hands into the pockets of her pullover and replied with complete casualness.

Ji Anning was oblivious to the commotion on Gu Changhua's end, let alone how alluring she looked at that moment. She simply kept her head lowered, picking up food with her chopsticks.

Three minutes later, a microwave suddenly went bang with a muffled explosion. The force wasn't great—not even warping the outer shell—but it was definitely totaled.

According to news received just moments ago, troops stationed in South Africa had launched an overnight raid, directly encircling and suppressing the drug lords. The gang's leader had been killed on the spot, and Gu Changhua had attained the highest level of military merit.

"Beirut, Sheila~ hurry back and sit down. Don't get in the contestants' way." The newcomer's voice was very soft, yet it carried an irresistible willpower.

"What on earth is going on? Where is Grandpa going? Is he returning to Japan?" Erina Nakiri asked in puzzlement, having had no chance to chime in during the brief video call.

A crisp sound rang out. Jade was stunned, Yun Xiyue was stunned, and Wind and Rain were stunned as well.

That year, not only was the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet cancelled, but even the Banjin Festival and New Year's Eve in the palace appeared exceptionally desolate, lacking the usual bustle. Moreover, while some courtiers had intended to propose a imperial selection after the new emperor's ascension to the throne, that plan could only be shelved now.

"My acupoint-sealing technique is quite unique. It can make a person's body as soft as cotton, leaving them unable to speak or move, yet their consciousness remains completely clear," the man with the body of a vulture replied smugly.

Most infatuated men in this world are fond of drinking that heartbreaking wine, but the ones who truly wield the blade to sever their own hearts are forever the beloved who stand beyond the edge of the wine bowl.

Although the deep reaches of the forest were extremely perilous, the old chieftain showed not the slightest intention of dissuading Zhangyu Chengduo. After all, in the long years ahead, Zhangyu Chengduo would sooner or later venture deep into the forest to temper himself and battle ferocious spirits. Furthermore, an opportunity like this was one that even the old chieftain would never let slip by, even if it were offered to him.

Suddenly, Li Manyi's body trembled slightly, beads of sweat covering his brow. The cauldron of pills he had been rehearsing in his mind had blown up. The reason was that when the five distinct types of true qi were fusing, the released spiritual consciousness was not strong enough, causing the fierce Tianshan spiritual energy to experience abnormalities. Breaking free from his restraints, it grew violent and capricious, destroying the entire alchemy cauldron.

The number of cultivators in Brahma City could at best rank in the top ten among the various cities of the Yaksha tribe, yet the strength of its defensive barrier was easily enough to rank near the top. The imposing stone hall before them was not inferior in the slightest to any teleportation hall in any city of the Yaksha tribe, and was even somewhat superior in terms of structural solidity.

Han Zihe looked at her, gentle and comforting like a spring breeze, instantly putting one in a cheerful mood. "Don't you go ruining the flowers I gave you; flowers are much prettier than you." He teased her again, immediately darting out of the glass greenhouse the moment the words left his mouth.

In an instant, Feng Yuetong felt a tremendous suction force pulling her directly into the trial space of the fifth level.

"Good stuff!" The son of the head of the Tianlu Fengling Academy was pleasantly surprised, never expecting to find such fine items here. Without standing on ceremony, he firmly engraved all the structural characteristics of the rune into his mind until not a single flaw remained.

Xia Qi always harbored a complex set of emotions toward Mei Xinyi, though those feelings had gradually faded over time. What remained now was probably nothing more than a bit of pity. When all was said and done, Mei Xinyi had merely been blinded by vanity and fallen in love with someone who had never loved her in return.

Emperor Changming had constantly had imperial physicians administer secret treatments, but they had little effect. His health continued to deteriorate day by day, and the doctors could only do their best to buy him time.

As for her own appearance, she merely considered it passable—neither truly ugly nor exceptionally beautiful, barely managing to scrape by as pretty.

"First of all, I need to have a general understanding of you all. After all, we're all our own people here, aren't we?" the Black Hawk said with a seemingly amiable facade.

It was one thing for an ordinary person or a low-ranking officer to fear alien natives, but for a high-ranking general to be beaten into a state of cowardice would lead to consequences simply too ghastly to contemplate.

The silver notes he carried with him certainly wouldn't be accepted here, but fortunately, he still had some loose silver pieces. Later on, he would find a pawnshop to exchange them for usable currency, knowing that money was indispensable no matter where one went.

Flipping through the pages, an even more astonishing sight appeared. Not only were there old versions of Renminbi, but there were even new ones—the one-hundred-yuan bills currently circulating in the market.

十四 had no concept of worldly affairs whatsoever, so she listened to me in everything, doing whatever I said.

Gao Lan was growing impatient, wondering whether the outer city of Wuchao had already been breached, and whether the man surnamed Zheng had gone back to rescue Cao Cao.

Shisan gazed at the silver fork in her hand, the smile on her face gradually freezing, replaced by a trace of indescribable sorrow.

Due to the absence of formidable generals like Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, Cao Cao's commanders had a terribly difficult time facing off against Guan Yu and the others.

Hua Tuo brought a cup of water, and Zheng Feng drank half of it before managing to swallow the pill in his mouth. Afterward, he consumed the other half of the pill and finished the rest of the water completely.

At first, he had also guessed that the sky could be seen from there, but after falling into a virtual world, he became certain that everything seen inside the black hole was entirely illusory.
