Chapter 1: Godspeed Force, New Universe, Tomb Raider Notes

The next day.

Su Qing opened his eyes on a bed that was soft and filled with a woman's body fragrance.

What met his eyes.

Wanda, who had been as wild as a leopard last night, now clung to his sturdy chest like a little lamb.

Su Qing recalled everything from last night; it was the first time he'd been pushed back, and he was still a bit unaccustomed, but if such plot developments happen again, please direct them all at him—he, Su Qing, will not frown at all.

Lightly.

'Lan, you've been away from the Western Border for some days now; I have already returned the Heaven‑Splitting Halberd to you, so take this opportunity to go back and report!' Zheng Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.

She was about to call him when she caught sight of Zhou Bin, who had just entered; as the second‑generation heir of the prominent Zhou family in the business circle, he naturally wouldn't miss such a business banquet.

Pregnancy is only the beginning; given the medical standards of this era, childbirth is a hurdle, and survival is another.

Once they reached this level, they no longer needed to jostle with others; basically everything was done through private invitations and private arrangements.

But in the eyes of Emperor Jing'an, it was still unwise to let the Twelfth Prince go to the West at such a crucial moment of abdication.

Chu Jiu li would of course know—this is all the Chen family scheming behind the scenes, aiming to nibble away at her dowry bit by bit.

However, Lu Xuanxin merely smiled faintly, as if everything had been within her expectations.

Diane recalled having once seen the Third Prince suffer poison; his weakened state while detoxifying left her with a faint worry.

Although it sounds absurd, it indeed happened; her elder brother concluded that she was his deceased sister‑in‑law, Galuo.

Most important is knowing oneself and the enemy; one must understand the capabilities of the competing society to judge one's own core competitiveness.

Yesterday Alice had already booked tickets to Iceland, so this afternoon the two of them can fly to Iceland.

Gu Kui recalled that, back when he first saw Zhao Jingxuan at the Han mansion, it was during a grand banquet at the Han residence.

Qin Yi nodded somewhat embarrassedly, kept pace, and didn't dare to say goodbye to Zhao Guangyong.

After all, it was a life‑saving favor, and it involved such precious wild ginseng; Ouyang Zhengran and Tong Qiaoxin discussed it and then considered this approach.

'Yes, it must be her father—her father is utterly heartless, able to …' Zhou Jiayun immediately echoed.

He lifted his chin toward the western wall, his expression saying, 'If you don't want me, I'll just take it with a smile.'

However, because he fired a shot, the bullet pierced the carriage roof, sparks ignited the gasoline, and the entire vehicle instantly burst into flames.

Sun Muyan slapped her forehead and said, 'Put away your lovesick look—that person is the cousin of Princess Leyang; he's just a mute who can't speak.'

At first, when she noticed this, she scolded him a few times, then kept her distance, fearing to catch Qin Yi's sweat.

Thanks to the efforts of the inner‑circle disciples, Tongtian was finally 'forced' to lower its difficulty.

Zhu Youjian smiled faintly and then said, 'However, I have entrusted the fleeing Jin merchants with delivering the gift that the Great Ming bestowed upon the Qing state to Dorgon; I believe he will be overjoyed upon receiving it.'

Chen Yun'er's eyes flickered; although she sat in the seat closest to General Bo's side, her gaze fell silently upon Bo Shaozhen.

During the days Tang Keyin was absent, Bai Lu had been lurking outside Han Yichen's classroom, sneaking about.

So when Li Badawu Si again raised the possibility of drafting soldiers from the North City Gate to reinforce the South City Gate, Angelia refused; she merely told Li Badawu Si to stay at ease and prepare for battle.

Liang Chenyue pointed toward the eagle's direction, and everyone's gaze converged there, spotting an eagle far on the horizon.

In an instant, a blinding white light burst from the broadsword, turning into sharp blades of light that shot out in all directions.

'So far… there's no response yet,' Tang Youyan replied, swallowing the red‑bean bun in her mouth, blinking her eyes, quite honestly.

She opened her wallet; inside the interlayer was a packet of strong aphrodisiac her father had given her before departure. She had never wanted to use this method to get him, but now it seemed she had no choice.

Everything had settled; Qin Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief. From now on, Lin Tianxue would be his fiancée! He slept soundly that night.

For example, banning poker and promoting 'Soldier Cards'—cards modeled after the various troop types of Qinglong City, with data close to reality.

Leng Tianyi walked on and noticed a drop of mysterious liquid, slightly viscous, then it dripped down.

Resistance from the Shadow Council immediately waned; meanwhile, in the war against the Storm Kingdom, the tribe's progress was slow, but the Duolongtan tribe to the north pressed on, having already conquered a kingdom.

The cultivation of battle techniques has five realms: entering the hall, pure blue furnace, peak of perfection, returning to simplicity and truth, transcending to sage.

'If you notice any strange person approaching them, tell me at once,' Chu Xian urged.

He had originally wanted to protect her well, shielding her from all wind and rain, letting her forever nestle in his arms, simply enjoying peace of mind.

The examination papers for the prefectural exam— they had selected a thousand papers; these were the high‑scoring ones from the prefectural exam, of course! They hadn't been graded yet.

Although she also wanted to deal with the crown princess in her heart, her plan differed from Fourth Master's; her plan was silent and unseen.

Xuan, having obtained Wuyu's consent, immediately led the warriors forth, causing Wuyu to shake his head and chuckle lightly.

Almost as the words fell, Bai Le's figure flickered, and she lightly leapt into the entrance of the fifth level.

If it weren't for Xin Jiaming noticing her presence, after this battle ends she could recover to the strength she had before her fight with Xin Jiaming, enough to sweep aside everything.

Qing Lin's body shuddered violently upon hearing this, his eyes widened, and he revealed a deep anticipation.

Even the name Divine Sovereign inspired a hint of awe; the high priest did not press further, merely uttering a light sentence to let it pass.

Then he chose a mountain cave where he used to practice and play in his spare time, and there began his cultivation of the Thirty‑Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang.

At this moment his golden‑glowing flesh stood over ten zhang tall, he gripped a black‑iron heavy sword with one hand, a golden giant serpent coiled from his abdomen to his shoulders, and he stepped upon a seven‑colored elk.

Thus many who dwell in the hidden sects, even if they commit crimes in the mundane world, at most flee back into the hidden sect, hide for a few years, wait for the fuss to die down, then emerge again to roam freely.
