Chapter 257: Journey of the Paper Man

So Zhou Bingran said nothing, merely dancing silently alongside them; after finishing, they stood at attention, saluted each other, then returned to their original seats to continue sipping mare's milk wine.

Thel'nar struggled to control his emotions, turned back to look deeply at Lin Yan, and said in a desolate voice, "It's no use, it's no use; you will never defeat it." Lin Yan was still confused about what "it" referred to in Thel'nar's words, when Thel'nar let out a cold laugh.

Kai had been observing Shadow Slaughter from the shadows all along; knowing Shadow Slaughter's nature, he naturally understood that this frown meant Shadow Slaughter was enraged. Without a moment's hesitation, he drew his long sword and thrust it at Su Nu with the speed of wind and lightning.

"My prince, have you finally deigned to appear?" A seductive, soft voice sounded, and Lin Yan instinctively looked toward the direction the sound came from.

Judging by their expressions, it seemed they had already come to terms with Igor's departure; in truth, they were merely pretending so Igor wouldn't feel too guilty. Think about it: companions who had lived together for so many years suddenly had to part; how could anyone's heart not feel heavy?

Sometimes Tiger wondered if the failure of the assassination attempt on Alice might have been the work of that unfathomable Emperor Lester, intended to make the Dragon Clan eliminate the stubborn factions within the Lester Empire. But since Emperor Lester was already dead and there was no evidence to prove his speculation, Tiger had to let it go.

If Ye Yu had eliminated him in one strike, wouldn't Ye Yu's true cultivation level have been completely exposed? If too much time was wasted and spiritual energy consumed excessively, by the time they faced that Mystic Realm expert, they would already be at a disadvantage before even engaging.

Her clear eyes sparkled; tear drops slid down like flowing water, tracing her pure, smooth jade face before falling to the ground. She stared fixedly at the portrait, as if returning to childhood.

And because the third-year student Nagisa Furukawa had made a friend, Rin Satou, she went home with Chu Yue and the others less often. Conversely, Yukine Miyazawa, since it was on her way, often came to find Chu Yue to go home together.

But the moment these words were spoken, they immediately stirred longing in the young ladies' hearts; they pestered her, asking about the customs and people of the Western Xia Kingdom, and how the scenery of the Western Xia Kingdom differed from that of the Great Capital Court.

The temple lies far in the deep mountains, passing through the area of the mass grave; under normal circumstances, no one would pass this way unless lost or deliberately seeking it out.

Lin Tian looked at the Divine Sword Venerable; what the Divine Sword Venerable said made perfect sense, and he felt his heart filled with anger, unable to help but feel ashamed.

"Tsk." Q17 rubbed his lips, frowning as he looked at the viscous dark red liquid flowing from the narrow stone crack, only one palm's width thick. He shook his head.

"Damn it, you ask me, how would I know?" Ninth Master stared intently into the pitch-black well, having no mind to waste words with him.

Leng Mo Chen glanced around at the banquet hall's decorations, tugged the corners of his mouth slightly; the results seemed good, at least he felt comfortable looking at it.

Hearing this, Xu Yajuan gave a self-mocking smile and snorted, "So I still fell for your trap; everything you did afterward was deliberately deceiving me, playing along with your own scheme?" As she spoke, she glanced around, searching for a way to escape. Ye Shaoyang saw this and was already prepared to counterattack.

The reason Jinzhou has been prosperous and wealthy these years, with thriving livelihoods, is entirely due to the capable governance of the current Emperor, who was once the Xuan Wang.

The moment Lin Qingwan was attacked, Yi Han flew into a rage, yet his mind grew even more calm. He stared tightly at Shuangyuan Zhenren, entering a mysterious and profound state; in his eyes, the originally invincible Shuangyuan revealed flaws.

For several days straight, Tong En dared not meet Zhong Yue; whenever Zhong Yue called, she made excuses about being busy with work and turned him down. She didn't know what she was afraid of, but simply lacked the courage to face Zhong Yue.

After a long while, the dizziness finally faded, but her chest still ached with a dull pain, making her frown uncomfortably.

Tong En felt that this autumn, the sky seemed especially, especially blue, the clouds especially, especially white, and even the autumn wind that usually whipped up yellow sand had become gentle and warm.

"Pighead, why call for sister if nothing's wrong? Looking for a beating?" Chu Chu pinched my back hard without thinking, seemingly retaliating for me interrupting her singing pleasure.

"What happened?" Leighton heard the commotion, threw on a coat, and walked out; seeing so many people in the narrow corridor, he was startled too.

Jiang Fanchuan turned back to look at the candy in Xi Yang's palm, stunned for a moment; although he was still angry, since this was given to him by Xi Yang, he reluctantly accepted it.

Huang Shaojun took her and several colleagues on a business trip to Shanghai. That evening, she went out for a stroll, but it suddenly started raining. She went to a nearby café to take shelter, and happened to run into Huang Shaojun drinking coffee there. The two sat together, chatting until the rain stopped; that was how it began.

It can be said that the State Security Bureau is an alternative system existing between the police system and the military system, standing on its own.

"What does it matter? We can go practice elsewhere first." Anyway, following them was no problem.

The black-furred monster did not stop my actions; I wasn't entirely sure if it could understand what I was doing.

On the shore, Mu Chu and the others, suddenly seeing such a huge creature, immediately erupted into a clamor, each holding weapons and surrounding it, waiting only for the boat to dock.
