Chapter 93: Playing the Family Card

Mo Fusang suddenly felt a pang of pity for the man before her. Even without knowing what had passed between him and Qian Peipei, she could hear in his words and see in his expression the deep helplessness and loneliness buried in his heart.

Perhaps this could even bring about adverse consequences. By then, it would be something far less bearable. Even if they could not be a help to him, they should at least not work against him behind his back; otherwise, he would certainly never tell them.

A faint, icy smile touched Fire Butterfly’s lips as she looked at Xue Yun with undisguised killing intent, set on destroying him and not stopping until she had done so. Xue Yun could only express his grievance.

“More or less,” Han Shui’er said, a trace of blush on her cheeks. Her back was slightly curved, her hands folded in front of her knees, looking terribly wronged.

Our forces have already taken control of the airport and the surrounding key points, and are searching for the remaining enemy troops. On the runway, the engineering unit is busy on two fronts: clearing wreckage from the enemy planes and filling in the bomb craters to prepare for the landing of our aircraft.

If we force our way through, we may have to pay with the lives of many brothers. If artillery fire can tear open two gaps, then our army can rush through.” Commander Ning Wei muttered.

No one wanted to be abandoned by those fellows. If they saw me, perhaps this time I would not even make it to the end at all; I would be cut off halfway.

“The day I took Fusang away, Wu Xingde did not leave with us,” Huo Zhibei said.

When he saw Ye Kai, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile. “How about sitting down for a cup of tea?” Ye Kai shook his head.

Sure enough, people immediately began whispering to one another, their faces full of doubt, baffled by Wang Peng’s sudden change of decision.

“I can’t rule out that possibility, because aside from a few people around me, no one knows I’ve opened a clinic. Not even my mother, my younger brother, or the people in the Bai residence know,” Bai Churuo said.

When Chang Yi said this, he was perfectly courteous, but the middle-aged man caught that look in his eyes and felt a chill in his heart. It was the look of a god gazing upon ants, or of a hunter looking at prey he could crush with ease.

Krissji calmly turned around. From inside the door drifted a black spirit, visible only to those of her witch realm, mingled with human essence.

Just as the scene was about to fall into deadlock, Shangguan Yue was calculating how to get away, when suddenly she heard someone behind her calling her in excitement. At the sound of that address, she knew at once that Prince Qi had arrived; after all, among so many who knew her, only he would call her that.

Three massive chains pierced her sun, sending sparks flying. Passing through the sun, they whipped around with thunderous force and bound Le Shi in an instant.

This was a dangerous gamble. If the war between the Great Xia and the Great Tang dragged on even a little longer, then the rear of Great Xia would surely catch fire, and the entire realm would eventually fall into the hands of Great Qin.

“Are you certain it is a folding of space and time?” Bu Yima narrowed her eyes, fixing a fierce stare on Krissji.

By the fire, I watched the flames and added more poplar wood while thinking. The sound was indeed gone; it must have been made by that thing. It seemed to have been gnawing on something there just now, but when I looked, there was nothing at all. What, then, was it doing? After thinking it over, I decided to go back and take another look.

“All right, I’m going to start eating now,” the withered tree said with a smile, stretching out its hands as though ready to take someone’s soul.

“Hm? You think I’m afraid she’ll decide it was me who did it?” Nangong Lianyi’s tone was full of disdain.

Unfortunately, because his experience was still too shallow, the process of assembling those dismantled German machines progressed with agonizing slowness. As a result, the imitation of the Panzerfaust anti-tank rocket launcher had yet to even begin. Added to that was pressure, both open and covert, from the Soviet side, forcing Bai Yi to settle for a compromise and turn instead to improving the existing equipment.

“No confidence?” Qiao Hanye looked at her conflicted expression, then put an arm around her and slowed his steps to match hers.

Astonishment was no longer enough to describe Ye Chenmeng’s feelings at that moment. She looked at the card in Lan Lichuan’s hand. If he had no money, then what was that in his hand? A transit card?

There was nothing he could do. In the end, he was only human, not a god. Powerful as his golden finger might be, it could not account for everything. Besides, what needed assembling was German machinery, famous for its precision. Bai Yi had a splitting headache, because in his memory there was simply no intersection with any of these machines.

I was afraid he would take me to find Bo Yin. I was afraid it would really turn out as Ruan Chenming had said, that he would use Bo Yin’s weakness against him.

That broad, heavy palm fell still for a moment. Then she felt something pressing against her; the searing heat made her body stiffen, hot sweat breaking out down her back.

Like frying a pancake, I tossed and turned on the bed and still could not sleep, until night finally fell beyond the window.

“All right, all right, I know what you want. Give me a few days, and I’ll give you a proper answer.” Arthur found it hard to refuse Li Mu’s request, not because of the lesson of James Garfield, but because of the friendship between Li Mu and Arthur.

Within the room, the sound of passion rose at once, deliberately so, loud and unrestrained. Wangyou listened, her heart like it was being cut by knives, yet she laughed aloud.

Because of this, Bai Yi had not failed to think of a solution; he had even turned his attention to the Soviets, planning to exchange some of Baiyun Factory’s accumulated technology from recent years for advanced equipment from their side.

Because people got off on every floor, the elevator stopped for a while at each level, and fewer and fewer people remained. In the end, there were only a few couples left, and me.

After arriving at the Hall of Political Deliberation, Zhangsun Wuji saw that Fang Xuanling, Qin Qiong, Yu Shinan, and Wei Zheng were already inside.

Forcing down the tremor in his heart, Lian Haiping once again examined this divine power in its entirety. From it he discovered that the cultivation steps had changed; in some subtle details, it was even vastly different from the original, almost running counter to it, yet proving far more reasonable.

It was not only Li Ying who cried out. The cultivators of Cangshan standing at a distance all stared in terror as the purple thunder descended, too shocked to make a sound.
