Chapter 48 You Forced Me Into This
Shi Lemeng was the first to pick up a roasted sweet potato, instinctively glancing at Lin Yun. Seeing that his gaze was not lingering on her, she forcefully broke the roasted sweet potato in half and took a large bite.
"Hot, hot, hot..."
Shi Lemeng had not expected the internal temperature of the roasted sweet potato to be so high. It scalded her tongue so badly that blisters formed, and she could barely speak clearly.
Hearing this, Lin Yun went to the water vat in the kitchen, scooped a bowl of cold water, and handed it to Shi Lemeng. "Put your tongue in the cold water to cool it for a—"
The soil of the northern frontier might not be suitable for farming, but it was exceptionally well-suited for raising horses, cattle, sheep, donkeys, and even dogs and pigs.
Chen Qiusheng was home today and had heard all the shouting outside, but because he was recovering from an illness, he did not go out.
Until Nangong Linyi pulled her off the carousel, his eyes fixed directly on Ouyang Yingqi, the corners of his lips curling into a teasing smile: "Knowing you were wrong is a matter for next time. If I don't give you some punishment, I don't think you'll ever remember this lesson." With that, his lips covered hers.
If he had a choice, he would rather follow in the footsteps of Duke Huan of Qi: honor the king and expel the barbarians, relying internally on military might to suppress the strong and aid the weak, and launching campaigns against the Rong and Di tribes to expand Han territory.
"Mother, look at Yu'er, why don't you discipline her?" Chen Yan's face grew even redder from Yu'er's teasing, and she angrily asked Madam Lin to teach Yu'er a lesson.
Haynes walked over to the table and stroked the cold surface of the box with both hands, as if touching the skin of a newborn baby.
Not long after he left Ji County, the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan for control of Qinghe Commandery reached its climax. Their vanguard forces clashed on both banks of the Qinghe River. As Gongsun Zan's army suffered defeats, the battle front was pushed all the way to Dongwu City. With autumn approaching, seeing that Qinghe Commandery could no longer be held, Zou Dan gathered all the green crops in the northwest of Qinghe and retreated with his troops toward Julu.
For a moment, eerie winds howled across the sea, and white bones flew through the air. Ink-black clouds and mist instantly obscured everyone's vision, leaving only the earth-shattering cries of battle echoing endlessly.
Lu Yusi gazed at the soldiers of the Yanhai Assembly, seeing the profound exhaustion on their faces, and could not help but think of the more than twenty thousand veteran Yanhai soldiers lost in this battle for Hangzhou, filling his heart with sorrow. Only as he calmed down did he realize that the approach proposed by Zhao Rongyu was entirely correct.
Seeing that Yang Ji was catching on, Xu Rong was overjoyed. He had originally intended to cultivate him as his capable assistant, and seeing that he was bold yet modest, his joy grew even greater.
"Consider yourself lucky. Lord went to Leicang Palace for a few days, then to Shanggong for a few more, and spent the rest of his time resting in Mingxi Valley. You can go find him there." Yu Ye said, swaying her waist tassels as she walked forward.
—Yet, all things in the world are a unity of yin and yang. Beneath this most beautiful facade, this golden lotus actually harbored the most terrifying power of calamity.
At that very moment, Boss Ao, who had been dormant inside Yan Ning's collar for so long, finally slowly woke up and let out a long, huge yawn.
Yin Luo truly could not sense it. He was too immersed; he had no time to spare a thought for the violent shaking of the Cloud Realm. He was at a critical juncture and simply could not afford to be distracted.
The Northern District housed magical items, ranging from magic wands and magic scrolls to various buffing items, all categorized in this section.
It turned out that Lin Xiao had hoped to find the holder of the Seven Sins Sloth trousers during the battlefield treasure hunt, but he failed. After the battlefield BOSS appeared, the number of players everywhere surged exponentially. Unless the target had some extremely conspicuous trait, they were virtually impossible to spot.
After exchanging a few words with Rex, Liu Zhe arrived at the last zone: the Western District, marked as containing alchemical materials.
However, this sudden change in Lin Can caught Fang Yuxue somewhat off guard instead.
It was hard to tell whether to call his luck good or bad. He finally ran into the Divine Might Slaughter Blade, and after winning the match, the system prompted him that he had entered the top one hundred and that today's matches were over.
This Director Liu was naturally the director sought out by the demonic cult youth, and also the unscrupulous director who had spiked Liu Yifei's drink back then.
