Chapter 47: The Plan to Cross the River

After Chen Mu had finished his investigation, he returned to the military camp and instructed the soldiers to prepare torches, while ordering the county to requisition boats from the villagers. The county magistrate asked, “Your Highness, do you intend to cross the river at night? Though the crossing is shallow, it could still be dangerous after dark.” Chen Mu nodded. “Yes, I do plan to cross the river at night. As for safety, there’s no need to worry, since…”

Originally, she had intended to keep this matter secret for Ye Yuan, but since he had already agreed to rescue Zhou Boping and his companion, it was simply impossible to conceal any longer.

Steve couldn’t help but glance back over his shoulder, but the moment he did, he felt as if his entire body had been plunged into icy water, a chill sinking all the way to his heart.

This time, I paid special attention to his hands, to his fingernails. They were unlike anyone else’s—utterly devoid of color, whiter than flour, so pale it was terrifying. Apart from that, he looked just like a normal person.

I closed the door again and returned to my seat at the table. Even without a signal, there were still some offline games to play—like Contra, for example.

From the void came a soft exclamation, clearly surprised that Ye Yuan had not been crushed to pieces.

“The momentum of this young man is unstoppable; no one can stand in his way now.” The celestial kings of the Yun clan all sighed with regret, lamenting why they had ever chosen to oppose Ling Han.

That was Ling Han’s first reaction, but he immediately shook his head—who would expect to find a mermaid in such a foul-smelling marsh?

Lu Yan stood at the railing, still clad in white, her long hair draped carelessly down her back, fluttering playfully in the wind.

“I think not everyone will follow us. Those unwilling can form their own alliance and leave. We’ll make new arrangements for those who remain,” Bisheng said.

Jax hid inside his turtle shell and began chanting a spell. Cody, after lashing his whip a few more times, hurriedly retreated, unsure what other magic Jax might wield; if he didn’t keep his distance, escape would be impossible.

In the heart of every summer, what is most irresistible—aside from that perfect spoonful of watermelon at its core—is the azure sea.

Writing love stories with rain as a motif is not uncommon, but rarely is it done with such harmony and excellence.

The ethereal beauty’s expression was grave yet suffused with boundless joy; she nodded repeatedly, not daring to slacken for even a moment.

Yu Xi stood quietly in place, biting her lip gently, hiding all her emotions within until Cui Yuankui’s figure finally vanished from sight and she could withdraw her gaze.

He had many directors under his command, and just as many actors. As long as there was a project, all he needed to do was make a connection or show his face—he never needed to handle any specifics himself.

Yet his brief moment of relaxation proved disastrous. Overnight, every external force of the dragons on the outskirts of the imperial capital, as well as their networks elsewhere in the empire, was wiped out without exception.

Seeing this, more warriors rushed forth in a frenzy, pushing back the assault that had nearly shattered their defenses.

If he were to make a move, he would surely attract the attention of Ye Tian’ao and the others; remaining in the empire would be nothing short of awaiting death.

But Ye Tian’ao sat on the floor, so he quickly knelt down, not wanting to look down upon Ye Tian’ao from above.

The sovereignty dispute over the Diaoyu Islands between China and Japan, in truth, has little direct impact on the lives of ordinary people.

Suddenly, from the silent stone mirror beside Li Bufan, a dazzling white light burst forth, shining directly onto the Silver-scaled Python King.

Under these circumstances, Zhu 3 finally made it to the front of the line, just as he had hoped. Ahead of him stood another innate martial artist.

To countless martial artists, the grandmasters of the martial world were figures beyond reach, but in Yuanye’s eyes, they were merely stepping stones to higher realms.

“To be honest, in the end, Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi did not end up together. Truthfully, even as Shen Jiayi entered my view arm-in-arm with another man, I still hoped for a miracle. I truly wished they could have found their happily ever after!” — A Cloud.
