Chapter 61: The Arrival
Dozens of kilometers away from the Silver Eagle Tribe, a dozen or so female beastmen were taking a breath of fresh air under the protection of their male counterparts.
"Rui, are we almost at the Silver Eagle Tribe?"
A young, short-haired female with a charming appearance suddenly sidled up to a gentle-tempered female and asked, "I wonder if Mu Qing and Leng Xiu will be able to find their females in the Silver Eagle Tribe? I heard their female is even pregnant! No wonder they insisted on protecting their own female and leaving the cave first back then."
"Ah-Li is pregnant?"
Rui, who was Meng's female, furrowed her brow slightly. She turned to look at the young female beside her, her gaze mixed with a hint of inquiry and bewilderment. "Ah-Li..."
Although she was also a second wife, she did not have the good fortune of Shen Yuechen. The moment she married, she married into a wealthy family, where food, clothing, housing, and transportation were of the absolute best, not to mention that she never had to worry about money. Unlike herself now, who had to constantly subsidize Shen Zhiyun with her own private savings so he could go out to socialize, while still having to worry and exhaust herself over household matters.
Although she said this aloud, only he knew that Cui Shi's words had indeed dropped a pebble into his long-calm heart lake, stirring up ripples that refused to calm down.
Before the words faded, the few children who had been stunned aside earlier because Pei Xin'er fainted finally came to their senses, letting out a wail of crying. Their eyes filled with terror, they rushed toward Pei Xin'er, crying and calling "Mother" continuously—such a desolate scene.
"Specially blended for me?" Hearing Wu Ling say this, Chen Ruxing realized that the sachet in her hand had a particularly strong scent. It must have been a newly blended fragrance, but why hadn't she noticed it just a moment ago?
Having just woken up from a nap, Shen Yuechen had little appetite either. Fortunately, Mother Wu had prepared in advance and brought a bowl of iced plum soup to stimulate her appetite.
Tan Dong was agonizing over a lack of opportunity to show off when Jun Qianshi happened to deliver herself to his doorstep. With a furious roar, he charged forward.
"It's your grandfather! Can that old immortal still protect you now?" Wang Yuerong suddenly said with a sinister tone.
It was evident from the spot where the arrowhead embedded itself that it had been shot from his rear flank. The bizarre trajectory prevented Jun Moyuan from dodging while he was locked in intense confrontation with the rain of arrows in front, forcing him to take the arrow head-on.
"Hahahaha!" Weirang couldn't help himself and burst out laughing. He laughed so hard he clutched his stomach, unable to straighten up. His jet-black long hair slid down with his movement, falling across his deep blue robes, making his face look even more extraordinarily handsome, while his smile was as bright as the sunshine.
Even though he and that young lady still had nothing to do with each other at the moment, these two maidservants had no business acting this way.
Qiuju gripped the food box tightly, staring blankly at Lin Zhixuan and Wei Mingxu behind her.
"So, you just proposed to me on a whim? Were you pitying me, playing along with me in an act?" Tang Yuan's face was as gloomy as the thick haze before a blizzard.
Although Kudo was positioned in the center of left field, Ito's hit landed just a bit in front of the home run wall.
However, Huang Xu remained cautious. He picked up the invitations and examined them, his expression changing slightly thereafter.
Many Great Xia people pinned their hopes for the country's future on Crown Prince Rende, expecting him to ascend the throne early, clear away the clouds to see the moon, appoint wise ministers, practice benevolent governance, and revive Great Xia! As an organization that once directly served the Supreme Ruler, could Taiping Temple not hold such expectations?
Huang Huai nodded in agreement, and the two sides agreed on a time to discuss the details in detail at the Prince Sheng-yang's Mansion.
Amidst a dull thud, the bitterly resentful Ba Quan was sent flying by the front of the car as Li Wuda slammed his foot on the gas pedal.
Coach Henan's confidence stemmed from his thorough understanding of the formidable velocity behind his ace pitcher Xiong Tian's fierce pitches.
As the training match concluded, the final score was locked at 5:0, with the temporary A-team主力 (mainstays) easily winning this internal scrimmage.
"Alright, go get some rest. Tomorrow we still have to go look at those snake carcasses," Qin Fei waved his hand and said.
At first, they didn't know what kind of place this was, thinking there was only one Mora. But by the time they were surrounded by a large number of Mora, it was too late to retreat.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his hand, as if his palm had been clamped by an iron vise.
Just as Luo Qingyun was about to pierce Tang Qi, a breezy, ethereal voice reached Qin Yi's ears.
One must know that she had used fifty percent of her strength in that recent blow; any Return-to-Origin realm cultivator would likely have suffered severe injuries if hit, yet this somewhat wretched old man acted as if nothing had happened at all.
Su Yuebai's mouth twitched. If the two of them really became sworn brothers, what should she call Chen Tiedan? Uncle? What a joke.
Lei Yuan's pupils kept contracting, his mouth wide open, his jaw seemingly about to drop to the ground at any second. After a long while, his pitch-black eyes finally trembled slightly in shock.
"Mr. Jason seems to have designs on my fiancée?" Fu Yu's voice, suppressing anger, came from behind.
In order to make people forget the humiliation of defeat, reality was covered up with lies. The purpose was to allow people to live and multiply in a false sense of beauty without any burden or responsibility, until the natural destruction of this planet arrived.
Fine, I won't look anymore. After listening to her words, I smiled secretly to myself—did I really need her acknowledgment to prove whether I was Zhang Dongchen or not?
"Mother, I am a member of Shanai Village. When bandits come, I have a responsibility to protect our village," Xue Ne said, breaking free from the grip of Lady Sun's hand on his arm.
Su Jiyue looked at the wine glass in her hand. Although she didn't want to stir up trouble, it didn't mean she would let everything go.
Unexpectedly, Yang Rongmeng forcefully grabbed my wrist and pulled me back with a jerk. Taken by surprise, I stumbled and half-fell back onto Yang Rongmeng's hospital bed.
"Throw her out. I don't even want to look at her right now," Mo Buzhi supported his forehead, unwilling to even glance in her direction.
The exasperated Yi Cheng had originally planned to put up a stubborn resistance a little longer, but the moment he heard a "bang" come from the door, he knew he would be going to bed hungry again tonight.
However, at this moment, she slept properly and neatly, maintaining a strict boundary from him like the River Han dividing Chu and Han, with the distance between them clearly defined.
Captain Yu on the other end of the phone was sitting in Li Zongyong's office with the speakerphone on. The moment Li Wang said those words, everyone in the room heard it clearly.
