Chapter Sixty-One: The Sudden Outbreak of War

At six o’clock in the evening, Ye Cheng had Old Geng close the shop doors early. Given Liu Guagua’s current perilous situation—and knowing that the one they were up against was no ordinary adversary, but the Grand Preceptor himself—Ye Cheng called Qin Siyuan, hoping he could arrange a safe place for Liu Guagua. Yet, when Ye Cheng got through, Qin Siyuan sounded unusually tense and invited...

If things continued this way, day after day, her lingering in the mundane world would only make her remember less and less of each of his expressions, every movement, each lazy and profound gaze of his.

Next, Lin Feng landed a direct kick at the man assembling his gun. The man saw only a flash of shadow before his body was sent flying, crashing heavily into the nearby wall. A sweet taste rose in his throat, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

“Please, Commander Ying!” Ling Lifeng’s voice seemed untroubled, yet the blue war halberd in his hand instantly gleamed with azure light, blocking the incoming silver beam.

Zhang Cheng gave Night King a few instructions. No sooner had he finished speaking than the mutated demon sprite charged onto the stone bridge.

“Brother Li, I heard from the scouts that the main camp was attacked by assassins. I hope the princess wasn’t frightened?” King Chu, Qi Xing, walked unhurriedly beside Li Bin, chatting as they went. It was evident to any onlooker that the friendship between Qi Xing and Li Bin was anything but ordinary.

From the moment they were born, they’d never had a full meal, never enjoyed a proper sleep, never played even once—they were thrown straight into a water barrel.

She couldn’t quite explain her frustration; perhaps she simply feared Chu Qianyi would lose the competition and continue pestering her beloved Mu Fan.

“This place is truly cursed—no monsters, only these disasters! Was it deliberately set up by those before us?” Hu Jun wiped sweat from his brow and managed a bitter smile, his hands blackened from their earlier tumble.

“What? Sneak attack? Are you out of your mind? I attacked head-on,” Fang replied smugly.

Liu Zhisheng was indeed overly arrogant, and he’d underestimated the power of the Freemason Consortium. Clearly, at Liu Zhisheng’s level, he had no idea what Julie was really after. If he understood the Freemasons’ influence throughout the United States, he would never have said such things.

These past few days, Wang Cong had been in high spirits because his efforts had finally borne fruit. Half a month after returning to the capital, he nervously accompanied an even more anxious Li Lingwei to the hospital. When the doctor congratulated them, Wang Cong was nearly moved to tears, while Li Lingwei stood there, stunned with happiness.

Deng Chao’s team: one championship, one sweet for Wang Zulan, one sweet for Ju Gongxi, one sweet for Fan Bingbing.

There are many types of sauces abroad too, such as ketchup, and plenty of people dislike it. Auntie Kong is one of them.

After hearing what Old Master Li said, Li Lingwei’s mother also found the request a bit unreasonable. She herself was fond of Peking opera and knew much about the singers. Someone like Wang Cong, who’d never trained, simply couldn’t sing it at all.

Upon hearing this, Wang’s mother happily put away the gift from her son and finally went to the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal for him.

Early in the morning, Chen Fangping was already seated in the dining room, gracefully and swiftly flipping through the latest financial newspaper, pausing now and then to ponder over a particular section.

The word “lifetime” startled Yi Xia. When had she begun to think such things? She glanced gently at Chen Fangping beside her, and her heart was flooded with a thousand tangled emotions she couldn’t unravel.

“Ha-ha-ha-ha! Never before has anyone dared to haggle with me!” Golden Lion Shiki roared with laughter.

Actually, Sun Desheng had also been somewhat troubled lately. Although most media coverage centered on Wang Cong, there was still some attention on him as well. As the manager of the Deyun Troupe, he was naturally in the spotlight too.
