Chapter 46 Hatred to the Bone

Panicking, Deling lowered her head, found the source of the restraint, and bit down hard.

A sharp pain shot up his wrist. Ye Hongxiao let out a muffled grunt and reached out to pinch Deling's chin, forcing her to let go.

Yet, as if fighting for her life, she clamped down fiercely. With no other choice, he applied heavy force, and only then did she release her grip in pain.

Without looking, Ye Hongxiao knew the spot she had bitten must have broken skin.

He reached—

"Mother, what are you doing? How can you hit someone so casually?" Long Linfei truly could not understand how his usually poised and graceful mother could commit such an impulsive act.

Having suffered repeated slaps to the face and humiliations from Chu Chen that day, they now harbored a bone-deep hatred for him, and their only thought was to utterly crush Chu Chen.

The sneer on Jian Fei's face grew even wider. He picked up the torn manuscript, turning the pages one by one to carefully examine the revisions. Gradually, the mocking smile on his face froze, bit by bit, ultimately turning into a shock of sheer disbelief.

"In that case, since the main army hasn't crossed the Yellow River yet, there's still time for us to rush to Tokyo and head back to Dongping!" Dong Yizhuang said as he ran toward the prefectural government office.

He Chuan gave the young woman a blank look without answering her. In his heart, however, he thought: Is this girl out of her mind? What on earth is she daydreaming about?

"Leader Zhang, I came here unannounced. I hope I'm not interrupting your meeting?" Zhou Bingran returned the bows one by one, then looked toward Zhang Jiyuan seated in the main position and asked. After all, they were inside a tent—not a spacious military command tent—and with so many people crammed inside, it felt rather crowded.

Now that Luo Tianfang possessed a five-star king-grade alchemy furnace, with their alchemy proficiency being on par, how could Nalan Wuhui possibly be his match?

To Luo Yu's surprise, the moment she rushed back to the floating villa and before she even had a chance to gather with the others, she was intercepted by a calm-looking Lan Ruoxi. The next instant, the girl pulled out an exquisite wooden box like a magic trick and handed it to her as if presenting a precious treasure.

Her cheeks were as white and flawless as jade. Although she wore a bulky camouflage uniform, it still failed to conceal her proud bosom, slender waist, and full hips, giving her an appearance that could topple a city with a single glance and a nation with the next.

Ming Yi looked back at me with a heart full of pain. Xiran, how should I tell you? Should I just keep making you wait?

Luo Hao emphasized the word "feed" so heavily that Yun Xi's pretty face flushed crimson. Naturally, Yun Xi knew what Luo Hao meant by "feed."

Mias walked out of her parents' room with a fluttering heart; she was truly terrified that yesterday's scene had merely been a beautiful dream. Therefore, upon stepping out, she was too nervous to open her eyes, fearing that the moment she did, the sweetness of the previous night would turn into bubbles and vanish into thin air.

"You wouldn't dare!" Jin Yexuan blurted out, then subconsciously glanced around to make sure no reporters were in sight before shooting a "ferocious" glare back at Song Mingyi.

Just at that moment, her phone rang. With great difficulty, she propped up her upper body with both hands, leaning over Jin Yexuan and straining her fingers to reach the phone resting on the nightstand on his side. Yet no matter how hard she tried, a vast distance still remained between her fingertips and the device.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a week had passed, yet the lockdown enforced by the Ministry of Defense of Nippon showed no signs of easing. Despite protests from the citizens, the martial law on the streets remained firmly in place.

Although A-Feng was terrified to the core, he still gritted his teeth and stubbornly shook his head.

Next, Daoist Master Zhang Peishan spoke. Being rather concise, he simply stated, "Entrusted by the Celestial Master, we shall naturally do our utmost. On behalf of the common people, I offer my thanks to all fellow Daoists." With that, Zhang Peishan cupped his hands in an empty gesture and bowed deeply.

Hearing this, Jin Yexuan and Song Mingyi exchanged a profound, weighty look, and raised no further questions.
