Chapter 399: The Elderly Become Cunning

"She's worried about being pressured to marry, so she asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend," Shen Siyuan said.

Hearing this, Jiang Wenxin felt a bit disappointed, thinking to herself, I wish it were true.

Tao Guangxia, however, asked anxiously from the side, "Where is Dou Dou? Did she come with you?"

"No, she went out for a stroll with Xiao Yue and Duoduo. I'll call her over later; you should be able to see her this afternoon," Shen Siyuan said.

"Thank you. It's been quite a while since we last met."

Wang Fu arrived at the Japanese den, the former county government entrance, carrying heavy gifts. He spoke with the Japanese sentries for a long while, using gestures and offering money before finally making his intentions clear.

"My lord, over ten thousand Tartars have rushed out of Haizhou Guard City, heading toward our main army," the scout reported urgently, his voice very loud.

Sun Haoran and the other two lowered their heads. Earlier, they had heard Xin Ji was inside the restaurant and, acting on impulse, had come over. They only wanted to teach Xin Ji a lesson and never imagined they would be unable to defeat him.

"My lord, you can understand it that way," Zhuge Liang nodded and began to explain. "The normal Prison of Evil Spirits Array is used to suppress Yin Evil."

"The Ministry of Works, immediately make arrangements for the disaster victims and the injured. The injured and those affected by the disaster must not be left to spend the night on the streets..." Yang Gai issued the order. Yang Gai had never actually handled such post-disaster procedures, but he had watched plenty of disaster relief operations on television, so he was at least familiar with them.

"Indeed, it is a fine blade," Qu Shounian remarked, barely holding back from snatching it himself.

As she spoke, she didn't know which nerve was touched, but tears actually streamed down her large eyes.

And for the ordinary soldiers in the camp, the wine, meat, and wealth bestowed after the court assembly to discuss merits and award rewards were enough to make them rejoice for quite some time.

This strange phenomenon reminded Xin Ji of "collapse" in quantum mechanics: once an electron is observed and measured, its probability wave function undergoes a violent change in an instant; if not observed, it returns to its original state.

However, given that this behavior was no different from the "die or don't go home" behavior associated with the B-key, Huai Ren gave up.

In a room resembling a place for interrogating prisoners, a spotlight shone on Huai Ren's face, casting a terrifying feeling.

Ying Shi Yu found it hard to accept. Yin Xianqi had been respectful and obedient, diligent in his work, and their master-disciple bond of over twenty years was incredibly deep; one could say he was like a son to her.

"Go ahead and get busy, Sister Xuanxuan. I'll come find you when I have time," Gan Liang said, lighting a cigarette and holding it in his mouth.

Song Shucheng spoke in a heavy voice, his expression rather unpleasant. If it were anyone else, he might not have cared, but since the other party was the son of Senior Brother Ye Zhong, he was effectively half of the Ling Shan Sect. Could this unsubstantial accusation be aimed at the Ling Shan Sect?

Her face was filled with admiration, and she even took a tissue to wipe the wine stains from the corner of Gan Liang's mouth.

With almost no innate advantages, facing an unknown future in a completely unfamiliar situation, the desire to achieve everything in one step and clear the game in one go is unlikely.

Possessing a Great Talisman allows one to use certain Daoist spells or martial artists' internal strength within the Sealing Great Array.

The Princess of Wing City's face was full of contempt and arrogance. It was obvious she had always been pampered; she looked down on Nuo Sha, who was also a child of the Abyss, thinking, why should a bumpkin from a remote, poor place have the same status as her in her father's eyes?

Han Ning glanced a few times at the burly rhino-horse. This creature looked similar to horses on Earth, except it had a green horn on its head. This magical beast was very gentle and naturally used wind-element magic to increase its running speed; in the magical world, it was a common mount.

"Tell me. Anything you know, you can say. Speak freely. Whether it's true or false, I will judge it myself," Zhang Kun said.
