Chapter 68: Signs

Madam Ye’s expression changed completely. Ye Shi stood to one side. “Sir, are you accusing my mother of lying?”

“It’s not an accusation. Madam is indeed lying.” With a single remark, Shen Jin pierced through Madam Ye’s private intentions.

From the moment she entered, her gaze had been furtive, and when she met Master Chi’s eyes, her fear reached its peak.

...

After receiving their orders, the front-line soldiers launched another violent assault. This time, the main force consisted of human soldiers. Abandoning their previous strategy of maintaining a complete defensive line and counterattack, they adopted a more aggressive approach: “liberate certain regions first.”

He had not left Pilgrimage Peak for years. Since Li Ning departed, he had waited each day for Li Ning to come and save him. But now, he had finally abandoned that hope—Li Ning had returned as the chief of the Kun Tribe.

Li Daniu paid no attention to Qu Hongjiang and the others’ astonishment. He walked straight toward the spot where the wolf’s head had just flown past.

“Hah! Trying to retreat? Did you really think our Tang Army’s camp was so easy to breach?” A cold snort sounded from behind Duan Da.

“No way…” Zhou Chu found it hard to believe. Despite all the economic problems, for now at least, this country was still the world’s largest by area and the most powerful militarily—could it really disintegrate so easily?

“What can you offer?” Yekaterina leaned languidly against the railing, her long legs elegantly crossed, exuding irresistible allure.

Li Ning was furious, but the demon child was even more enraged. His cultivation, originally at the late second stage, had been blasted back to the mid-second stage by Li Ning’s arrow. Now, he could only control corpse monsters within less than thirty feet.

The phrase “strained relations” was already a most tactful way for Mu Ximei to put it. Their conflict, rooted in party divisions and following different leaders, had long been irreconcilable. Her presence was like fuel to the fire, intensifying their hostility.

With trembling hands, she changed the channel, only to find a report about Liang Jiaxi’s out-of-wedlock pregnancy. There were even photos of Liang Manru’s hospital checkup and her leaving the hospital.

“Brother, if Yinfei leaves, my Fragrant Pavilion’s business will dwindle!” Upon hearing the news, Yue Dacha rushed to plead anxiously.

Zhang Bei personally poured a cup of tea for Xiang Guoliang, then sat down on the sofa beside him.

“Phew… That scared me to death. Who was that? How did they get a command token?” the soldier who had just stopped them gasped, clearly startled by the gold token.

Zhuo Lefeng had realized this! But for this to be possible, Hu Chuguang would first have to have secured control over all potential threats within Anjing City.

Qian Yurou said, “Judging by your condition, you’ve been caught by a simple hypnotic spell. Some cultivation methods include this effect as well—my foundation-building technique had something similar.”

The devout believers were the same. Hearing the deity recall the past, when they themselves had been primitive people, each of them revealed a faint smile.

He charged at the forefront, leading more than ten thousand Uighur soldiers, their shouts echoing as they attacked the rear of the Western Turkic army.

On the phone, Liu Yuqin also told her sister that Zhang Bei was determined to go through with this, and she could not dissuade him.

And so, the king of the Jiangdao restaurant industry was born, commanding 72% of the market share, which would soon rise to 80%!

Meanwhile, in the Lighthouse Nation, some people had gathered for protest marches in front of the White Palace early in the morning.

The group arrived at the merchant caravan’s latrine, where they checked the red and blue flowers and the Museles wine. Not a single flower was missing, and the wine remained intact.

Although the old lady’s two accidents were unrelated to the eldest girl, Nanny Zhao still had an eerie sense that she was somehow involved.

Upon hearing this, the four of Ye Fengdu hurriedly spread the map open on the table. The map’s material was soft and cool to the touch, quite unique, about thirty centimeters long and twenty wide. The terrain drawn upon it was clear and distinct, its markings visible despite its obvious age.
