Chapter 189: 186. Bullets (1/1)
186. Bullets (1/1)
Sure enough, although Song Lian allowed her to play games, that was mostly a mother's indulgence; deep down, she still hoped she would finish her studies properly.
But in fact, that person only glanced at her without much interest, then walked to the bed and began undressing on his own.
Xiu Qiqi nodded. Every command from Chang Guanyan, she followed to the letter. After finishing the pastries, she unfolded the report laid before her. She couldn't make sense of the pile of numbers, so she only read the paragraph Chang Guanyan had written.
Discovering that his high-heat round had failed to hit its target, Mogubak Xim didn't think twice and reacted decisively, lowering his head toward the Lei Ting shoulder insignia that had raised both hands.
"That stupid son of yours overheard Liu Yiniang's conversation with your second brother and learned he isn't Liu Yiniang's real son, so he figured he isn't your real son either. He's locked himself in his room feeling miserable. Aren't you going to check on him, Father?" Ning Fei stood with arms crossed, brows raised.
"Are you sick in the head! This guy's got delusions!" The man whose neck was being choked couldn't breathe, his face flushed red as he struggled fiercely.
Missi's residence was in a heavily guarded noble villa district; the guards at the gate were all soldiers in bulletproof vests carrying heavy weapons.
Wan Qi was surrounded by a crowd as they left the bar together. The moment the bar's big door opened, a burst of blinding light suddenly shot out before them.
"Captain Lan, when I followed them, these two were plotting to have this person impersonate an officer and take our Young Master away, saying that from the way our Young Master is dressed, he must be a fat sheep." Peach Blossom spoke up at the right moment.
Contrary to Rong Rong's expectations, Xiu Qiqi didn't get angry. She even laughed softly, as if she had seen the funniest joke in the world.
Everything around was so familiar. The map before her eyes was the special headshot battlefield map Air Force One from CrossFire.
Suddenly, the sword cultivator transformed into a silver streak of light, his body becoming ethereal and elusive, like a wisp of silver smoke. Faintly, the silver smoke both resembled and didn't resemble the sword cultivator, as if there were two of him.
This is the downside of being out of the loop—they still think the Shan Sect is the same Shan Sect of those days, and Tang Rao is the same Tang Rao of those days.
Like a child, Zu Long grabbed the Five-Peak Mountain-Opening Axe and tossed it about. When he beat Ji Tian, he was as happy as if he'd obtained the greatest treasure in the universe.
Perhaps to Sephiroth, his own behavior was utterly inexplicable, but in the world's eyes, wasn't it just the same?
The Jade Hundred Herbs Group run by Yan Hai Fang Meiling was highly profitable, no less impressive than the Cui family's winery, and plenty of forces wanted to swallow it up.
Even so, Bai Ye still wanted to take back Blazing Flame and return the golden sword to Bai Ming. In his view, no matter how you looked at it, he was suspected of taking advantage, and he was also harming the other party—after all, fire overcomes metal. Given Bai Ye's temperament, how could he take advantage of his own brother? He didn't care to grab such a petty gain.
Wang Yu and the others were shaken—it was a severed arm, as if it had been snapped off. Even so, the might it radiated made them choke.
Today, in Red Stone City, a hundred thousand soldiers had gathered. Liu Yi left twenty thousand to defend the city and led a hundred thousand out on campaign.
The Black Sky Demon Worm, a high-tier worm stationed on the eastern road of Yong City, commanded a swarm army of up to thirty thousand. Its forces might still fall a bit short, but in terms of combat strength, the Black Sky Demon Worm was already not much inferior to a lord-class worm.
Chu Feng gave Zhao Jing an awkward smile. Zhao Jing, on the other hand, looked very happy, looking at the people around her as if showing the world her happiness. Chu Feng felt a bit awkward, then let it pass. The gazes of the onlookers gradually drifted away from Chu Feng and Zhao Jing as time went on.
Not long ago, the Dao boy responsible for surveillance secretly reported that the two guests were brewing tea and chatting in their room, showing no intention of going out—seemingly well-behaved. The old Daoist neither agreed nor disagreed, only telling the Dao boy to keep watching and report any movement at once. After half a shichen passed, there was no further word.
Besides, she had earlier witnessed the entire process of Pei Donglai making his move, and the decisiveness and viciousness he showed had left a deep impression on her.
Yu Jin glanced at Su Yan and brought up what Su Yan had mentioned before—about whether she needed help as an assistant tomorrow. Zhong Lingyu looked at her with some surprise, figuring it must have been Su Yan's suggestion. Su Yan was quite thoughtful, and today's chef competition hadn't stated any restrictions either.
If they didn't grab hold of them now, in a couple of days they'd defect to that Divine Martial army—whether Yue Fei's Divine Martial Rear Army or Liu Guangshi's Divine Martial Front Army. Then it would be hard to pry information out of these generals' mouths.
Li Tianchou stood unmoved amid the blazing blade edges, causing the two proud Asuras to visibly change color. Involuntarily, their attitudes improved considerably. The staff in their hands rotated almost imperceptibly, and the wildly dancing blade edges around them immediately weakened, the pressure greatly reduced.
"Boom!" Finally, a roar cut off Tie Muyun's thoughts. Looking up, he saw the Crimson Flame Beast had been pinned to the ground by the golden man, motionless. Clearly it had given its all; one could tell the mystic true Qi within its body had been completely drained.
