With a crisp slap, the sound echoed through the room.

Song Zigui stood frozen for a split second before her expression twisted into fury, and she lunged wildly toward Deling.

At that exact moment, Ye Hongxiao’s voice cut through from the doorway, "What are you doing?"

The momentum of her charge vanished instantly. Song Zigui swayed, let out a dramatic cry, and collapsed heavily onto the floor. Then, her eyes turning red, she looked toward the hospital bed...

"Victory in the War of Resistance is certain." Ming Fan’s lips curved into a slight smile as he extended his hand to Wang Tianfeng. "Teacher, the future will test us even more. May we endure long and healthy, and may the flames of war recede soon."

The two of them sat down without a trace of politeness, crossing their legs as they sipped tea and snacked heartily on melon seeds, carelessly spitting the shells straight onto the floor.

She hadn't mentioned it to her older brother, but she had been saving up money with the sole intention of buying a second-hand computer. The rest of the funds would go toward her tuition, easing the financial burden on her family. Even so, she had hesitated and wavered for a long time, unsure whether she should actually make the purchase.

Li Tingmo’s friend simply shook her head and said, "There's no need to go to any trouble. Once we've had our fill later, any casual drink will do. If there is one, I'll drink it; if not, I don't mind." Her friend also shared her fondness for mutton dipped in peanut sauce, so her response came out a bit perfunctory.

Ruo Chunpei laughed and said, "General Longsheng is unfamiliar with the terrain here, which is why you ask. I have already anticipated this. The grasslands of Huanan Mountain are entirely flat—where is there not a road? We can descend from Leopard Leap Cliff and enter the Myriad Winds Sea of Forests."

It remains unknown what the original totem of the Guo clan was. It is only known that after this branch of the Guo clan entered the Danfu River basin, they also came to revere snakes. Back when the Shen clan entered the grasslands, the Guo clan was the very first indigenous tribe to negotiate a peaceful surrender to the Shen clan after several armed clashes. The Shen clan specifically granted them the privilege of jointly revering the tiger and the snake, a tradition passed down to later generations.

Could this be what they mean by "what is persistently yearned for will always find an echo"? Did the heavens choose this way to bring this lost craftsmanship back before their eyes?

Liu Yan fancied himself a scholar of profound essence, protected by destiny and aided by the imperial seal of Shu. Even though it was difficult to unleash his full strength amidst a vast army, dealing with someone like Jiang Wei should still be no problem at all.

Along the way, a few more makeshift board-cannons popped up, but they were all just for show. Lacking electricity, they were only good for scaring people.

All real estate developments are the same: they sell best when first launched, and the difficulty increases thereafter. Poor sales, in particular, breed a bad reputation, causing the properties to become even more neglected.

Over the past few years, the Empress and Noble Consort Xiao had been locked in secret rivalry, each quietly egging their respective sons on to put on a better showing before the Emperor.

Huanhuan ignored him, walked through the corridor, and stopped only when she reached the rockery in the front courtyard. Turning her head, she gazed at him with limpid eyes and asked, "Do you need something?"

Even among the scenarios where Atlético Madrid wins by a two-goal margin, there are several distinctions. If the score is two-to-zero or three-to-one, it represents a reversal by Atlético Madrid over Málaga. But if the score is four-to-two or five-to-three, it would mean Málaga managed to suppress Atlético Madrid through the advantage of away goals.

Her home was not far from Jiang Sanlang's place. Having noticed Jiang Sanlang's family drying yellow mushrooms in the sun over the past few days, she had felt a brief curiosity, but merely glanced at them before moving on.

Judging by the current level of discussion among players regarding *Vampire Survivors*, even if their Golden Wind team isn't ranked first in this initial round of voting, they certainly won't fall out of the top three.

Combining this with everything he had experienced in the demo version, it was not hard to guess that the strange man must have entered a parallel netherworld.

They had brought over two thousand cavalry and more than three thousand infantry this time, specifically striking while Wanyan Hashi was busy capturing the city. They would undoubtedly be able to rout the seven-plus thousand barbarian raiders.

She then turned her gaze to Shutian, saying, "Take a break from work these next few days and properly recover from your injuries. Heal everything—both physical and mental—before you return to your post."

"..." Liuxing did not answer immediately. According to what Xuanyue said, the Hell Blood would take at least another year to develop. Did that mean he would be stuck in that state of amnesia for at least a whole year?
