Chapter 185 Rewriting the Script
When Zhou Tian caught sight of Zhou Hu, the latter spotted the two of them as well. A flash of pleasant surprise first burst into his eyes, but then, as if recalling something, his expression shifted through a series of changes. He stood frozen in place, looking hesitant and lost for words, a sight quite agonizing to behold.
In truth, Bai Yu held a different resolution in his heart. Since Bai Yao had treated him unjustly, and as he was the head of the Bai family, he had the authority to dispose of everything belonging to the family. By giving away the gold mine, his own branch of the Bai family could be completely cut off once he grew old and died.
The ancient dragon soul residing within the Dragon Soul wore a helpless and bitter expression. The Dragon Soul was now half-transformed into a demonic sword. If Sky Eagle were to wield it in its current state, it would unleash chaos upon the world. Consequently, after absorbing the black miasma and enhancing its own demonic energy, the soul was gradually sealing itself away.
The moment Accountant Chen saw Zhang Quanqing, this greedy and overbearing master had inexplicably run all the way to this impoverished and secluded backwater. Could it be that he was here to demand money?
A bodyguard fawned, "The person has been kept behind, right inside the villa. I'll go call them right now." With that, he scurried off in a flash.
Lin Zhongxiao found himself unable to utter a single syllable in response to her scolding; he merely lowered his head and listened in silence. The scene was bizarre beyond measure. Bai Xue was a seasoned veteran in affairs of the heart, and after watching for just a moment, he understood: Lin Zhongxiao appeared to be deeply and hopelessly in love with Chang Yiyi, which was why he endured everything and suffered such humiliating reprimands without a word.
As Ada's horn sounded, Tomomi could only watch helplessly as Shinji reached the finish line and won the match.
"Mother, I'll help you into the city right now." The squad leader cast a fierce glare at the soldier from earlier, hoisted the old woman up, and prepared to enter the city.
"Zi Ling, cast a shield on Yanran." Ouyang Jue's eyes were locked firmly onto the spirit monster. After shouting out his command to Sister Zi Ling, he directly utilized the hidden skill, Shadow Layer Piercing, and lunged toward the monster.
As the setting sun dipped below the horizon, Lan Rongyue gazed at the twenty-odd people still remaining in the hall. She had not expected that so many would be resolute in their determination to enter the palace.
Ling Yueshushu did not take offense. She glanced at her with a beaming smile, lifted the door curtain, and hopped down, prompting another gasp of astonishment from Ruan Bingyan.
Right at the moment before he lost consciousness, Chen Ran seemed to have seen this robust, burly middle-aged man charge in alongside Tong Ziyue within the prison exercise yard.
As Liang Xueyin passed by, she glanced at the food in their bowls. It truly looked appetizing. Even though the dishes were entirely ordinary, why did they appear to her like a feast? Perhaps it had been far too long since she last tasted anything delicious, causing her standards to plummet?
His voice was low and hoarse, likely choked with suppressed emotion out of fear that he might wake Chi Yu downstairs.
The sound of Chi Yu's footsteps echoed from the stairs. After finishing the recording, Shen Guyuan locked his phone screen, tossed it onto the bed, and walked into the walk-in closet to change into a different outfit before emerging.
Driven by curiosity, however, Chen Ran still stepped into the tunnel. Instantly, lights flickered ahead, and a silvery-white radiance illuminated the entire passageway.
"You rash child, what are you going to do once you marry into the palace? Ah well, only Chenggye doting on you could tolerate this." Guan Wuzhi smiled wryly, chiding her behind her back.
Since these were ultimately two separate operating system platforms, if they simultaneously developed software and games for both systems—straddling the fence, so to speak—wouldn't that affect their chances of securing the lucrative prize money from the Apple Software Competition?
Following the direction in which Ying Lan had departed and pursuing for a short distance, Chuan found Zhai Feifei and Pan Shi ahead.
Three days later, Liu Yan bid farewell to Pang Tong and set out on the road accompanied by Zhang Feng and Pang De. Upon reaching Fuling, she switched to traveling by water, conveniently taking along Zhou Tai, who had consistently performed with steady mediocrity.
"Young Master Lu, this Masha intends to kill the three of us. Will you fight side by side with us, or continue on your journey?" Dongfang Hong inquired.
"There's no need to save him! His soul has already left his body, and he simply has no desire to live. It appears his allotted mortal lifespan has expired; he doesn't require the Impermanence Ghosts to escort his soul—he will return to the netherworld of his own accord," Ximo suddenly remarked.
"Eh?" Shi Qing was briefly stunned. He had never wanted to leave L City in the first place, but due to his prior agreement with Chuan, he was obligated to serve him, which was why he felt such profound inner conflict.
She even harbored the thought of summoning Mi Zhu to her side once the military situation in Jingzhou became less tense. There were numerous lucrative specialties native to the region of Shu, and having Mi Zhu manage them would be the ideal arrangement.
After a long while, when the troops were mostly assembled, Edward looked toward Blood Crow, signaling her to say a few words.
Among the allied forces of the Sirius Empire and the Astral Empire, God-King tier masters had entered the fray, making it abundantly clear that this three-way war had escalated into a desperate and vicious phase.
Of course, this assumed her future companion was a decent person capable of offering warmth and care, rather than someone like her own husband, whose entire life had been ruined by that miserly father of hers. When she thought back on those days now, she felt it was a complete injustice to herself. Had Qian Mimi learned to be sensible a couple of years earlier, their household would have suffered far less torment.
As the helicopter gradually began to descend in altitude, Mo Yiyi pulled open the cabin door. The fierce, howling gale rushed into the cabin as she reached out to put on her goggles, directing the helicopter to fly toward the valley beside the cliff.
One could say that ever since the Ancient Spring Village incident, Le Fan had consciously or unconsciously avoided Bai Wanru.
"Very well, then I shall call you Brother Liang, haha!" In any case, getting on good terms with Chen Liang now would certainly be of great benefit to his future development. Moreover, the more Ye Feng looked at Chen Liang, the more agreeable he found him—he possessed vast wealth, yet carried no sense of superiority whatsoever.
The Japanese assault force, suddenly struck by a ferocious flank attack, lost their footing entirely. Seizing the window of opportunity before the enemy could react, Shao Fei launched a charge.
