Chapter 150: Two Women Make a Show
Upon returning to the apothecary, Ye Cheng found Su Chan eating candy. Finding this curious, he walked over, picked up a piece for himself, and asked, "Chan'er, where did this candy come from? It's in red packaging, and it's neither a holiday nor a festival. Did one of our friends get married?"
...
Regarding Tang San and the Shrek team, he always harbored specific thoughts. After all, he saw them as the protagonists, and the concept of Tang San as the lead character remained deeply rooted in his mind.
Liang Minmin tugged at her sleeve, saying, "Qingqing, don't misunderstand. It's not just the two of you; Ke Qiao and I are going to watch as well."
He Yue seemed to sense her son's hesitation. She put down her phone, rested her chin on her hand, and looked at the two of them, asking, "Are we making you feel awkward by being here?"
Viewed from the sky, Heaven Dou City is a nearly circular metropolis. The Imperial Palace sits at its center, and all architecture is arranged around sixteen main thoroughfares, radiating outward like a spider's web.
In his youth, he had no idea how to pay for his mother's medical treatment. Driven to desperation, he turned to theft, only to be caught on the spot. His captor threatened to chop off his hand, but an old Taoist priest clad in yellow robes stepped forward to intervene and save him.
Due to poor scheduling, they arrived at Liangxia at night, and the city gates were already closed. They hoped to simply find a village to stay in.
"Tell me, could the giant electromagnetic cannon aboard the Feiyun blast your spaceship to pieces?" Carlos didn't mention the source of his bad premonition, choosing instead to hint at it indirectly.
Little did he know, he had kicked a steel plate this time. A mere mortal trying to arm-wrestle a cultivator—was that not like courting disaster? Was he tired of living?
Si Nan was unaware of her thoughts. As she ate, she wondered if Li Huai would visit that night and whether she should head to Ina's room to prepare.
"Greetings, customer! Our shop's acquisition price for basic high-level talismans is eight spirit stones per piece." The attendant stopped by Li Yuan was startled at first, but quickly recovered and responded respectfully.
However, despite the strike appearing effortless, it sent a jolt of alarm through his heart. Xiang Yu's blow was truly cunning and bizarre; had he not been prepared in secret, it would have been difficult to defend against.
The Liu Sheng family has held influence on the Divine Dragon Continent for thousands of years. Legend has it that in the ancient era, their ancestor was a disciple of the demon Chi You.
Wei Jie shook his head slightly. Expecting the Celestial Master Sect to keep the Beifu Army in check was a joke, yet Wei Jie truly harbored that very intention.
Furthermore, deep within it, there were likely several overlapping blessed lands, and it was even possible that a supreme legacy lay hidden there.
If Sun Baoyun had not hidden at the time, he likely would have been dragged into helping and killed along the way. If he had rashly refused, he would have alerted the enemy. Thus, he could only feign death to escape disaster. Of course, this was thanks to his grandfathers having set the trap in advance; otherwise, Sun Baoyun would not have survived even ten times over.
"Uh, yes, yes, eat more, eat more." I looked at Zhou Tianling. Zhou Tianling shot a look of distress toward Rena, then continued to chew with difficulty, his face blushing crimson.
However, at this moment, the entire planet's external communications were under strict control. Civilian communication satellites had been recalled, and military satellites were prohibited from connecting to external signal sources.
After Wei Jie returned to Stone City, the troop count reached over twenty thousand, meaning city defense was no longer an issue. However, provisions had become the greatest concern; the city's reserves were only enough to sustain those twenty thousand for ten days. Even worse, the fodder for the five thousand warhorses borrowed from Tuoba Gui was nearly depleted, causing Wei Jie no end of headaches.
Upon hearing this, the Sovereign of Xuanhuang and the Envoy of Yanglong could only offer bitter smiles and shake their heads repeatedly.
