Chapter 617: Everything Has Exceptions

On the walls of Ye City, the fierce battle still continues.

With the rear road blocked dead, Shi Siming chose to abandon his horse, climb the wall, and fight the trapped beast—a sort of "place oneself in death to be reborn."

Because the wall's width is limited, it cannot accommodate many soldiers fighting at once. Moreover, one side is a women's wall; beyond that is the outside, so that side cannot hold people.

Moreover, a wall several zhang high makes jumping down a near‑certain death, yet it's still better than being trapped in a crowd.

Song Qingge leaned in Xiao Jinyi's arms, sighing again how wonderful he is, but the more it is like that, the more this matter cannot be settled here.

Zhang Cuilian and Xiao Yuzhu kept the door tightly shut, crouching inside trembling, fearing those "barbarian" men would burst in, cursing Song Qingge in their hearts, yet they forgot that Xiao Dashan had once run up the mountain intending ill toward Song Qingge.

So after seeing themselves surrounded by the duty guard squad, even Tuo Lei couldn't help but turn pale.

Buying jewelry is one thing, but spending five thousand taels of silver on a single garment—who knows how they'll be scolded when they get home.

Thus, she longed intensely to be discharged early and return to a normal life.

Yun Tiange not only shows great respect toward him, but also keeps his distance! Every one of her actions follows protocol perfectly, yet she stays far away from him.

Jiang Yu is only afraid that his dad will see Jiang's mother recovered and take her out to play. This old man's imagination is as quirky as a youngster's.

Not going isn't an option either; it's about saving face, seeing whether Nan Shu Hui will agree to some unwritten rules.

"Ya‑ya—" Chen Che, seeing the rogue harass the lady, decided to follow the lady's maxim "if you can act, don't make noise," grabbed the latch and rushed out.

"What?" Xiao Ao and the others sprang up, astonished, saying they thought they'd just heard an illusion; they couldn't believe Chen Yidao dared to chase Shangguan Daidi.

If that's the case, Lingyun could simply come here to battle the Emei Orthodox Sect, no need to provoke the Buddhist sect.

Three years ago, Lin Yu had already awakened from that lifeless, barren state, finally understanding how to command the stars, mastering the use of the seven stars within the White Stone Space, and could even summon them directly into the real world.

"If I'm not mistaken, they're a foreign consortium; they said they'd discuss and get back to me," Chen Yidao said.

"No, the money for these purchases is all mine; rest assured it's clean," Chen Yidao replied seriously, fearing Zhao Kexin and the others would think he was robbing them.

It was thought the Sword Sect would fall then, but at that critical moment, hearing his two shouts, the fighting spirit suddenly shifted from silver to a purple‑black hue, matching the gash exactly, as if the sect's fighting spirit merged with the wound.

Undoubtedly, European nations are very pragmatic; Zhang Xuewu heard that a European immigration settlement voucher now sells for twenty kilograms of gold, and money here can no longer serve as currency—the only hard cash left are gold, jewels, and the like.

A hint of worry made her restless; her temperament is already erratic, acting on impulse, getting up to leave, only to be pulled back by Ling Jieer.

"Sorry, I won!" Liu Xuemei descended from the sky, looking proudly at the earth‑colored Zhao Hao.

The next moment, several howls rang out again, and four corpses, no less than the half‑god puppets before, charged out from both sides of me.

He is, after all, a fully realized mortal; even though the formation's backlash wounded him, leaving only mid‑level mortal strength, he remains a powerful mortal.

His bearing was proud and cold; passing the kneeling Right Prime Minister and other ministers, he gave them not even a stray glance.

With the black shadow gone, Zhang Mingyu no longer left the Iron Knot, staying inside it; Liu Shan kept sleeping, typical of someone who says they're scared yet has a heart bigger than anyone's.
