Chapter 40: Crocodile Attack

Crown Prince Huang could say without hesitation that he liked the piano, was willing to learn from his great-aunt, and was very happy to do so.

This tribe was the root of Qiuliju and the others. If their foundation was destroyed, even if Qiuliju managed to capture the county seat, what use would it be?

"Would you like to try some?" Sebastian turned his head, his expression warm and gentle, accompanied by a soft, pleasant smile.

To cross paths with soldiers of this caliber, even if one miraculously survived, would probably leave one with a lingering nightmare that could never be shaken off for the rest of one's life. These men were like death-defying elite troops; they would carry out their lord's entrusted mission even at the cost of their own lives. Such soldiers were truly treasures that could only be hoped for, never deliberately sought. It was truly enviable that Zhao Yi possessed a batch of such loyal troops.

She had an agreement with Chen Lan: until Chen Lan returned with the quality inspection report containing the electronic chip, she would not step a single step out of this venue.

This Fu Ming was indeed a skilled fighter. He managed to endure over a dozen rounds against Dian Wei's ferocious onslaught before Dian Wei knocked away his long sword, leaving his center completely exposed. Dian Wei did not take Fu Ming's life, instead kicking him straight to the ground.

Struck by Dian Wei's incredibly explosive sword strike, Zhan Huan's blade was deflected away from Dian Wei's head, unexpectedly slashing into empty space near Dian Wei's left shoulder.

And that happened to coincide with the reign of Zu Xin's son, Zu Ding. Hearing of this incident, Zu Ding was exceptionally furious and immediately ordered a thorough investigation. Yet who could have imagined that afterward, even the general leading the investigation along with several hundred soldiers would be slaughtered down to the very last man, until in the end, even their bones were reduced to a pile of charred ash?

Yet for reasons unknown, by Shui'er's generation, it had chosen Shui Xizhi. No one knew why, and no one believed that the Spirit of the Water Dusk would choose Shui Xizhi as its master.

Although it deeply displeased him that Wen Jing could be so fond of a complete stranger, now that Wen Jing had left, everything she liked had also become what he loved.

Majoring in finance herself and possessing a sharp power of observation, she had long since noticed certain problems within my company. It was simply because of our relationship that she had never probed too deeply into it.

Reason told Leia that he should soothe the emotions of Gaia and the others right now, but... could he actually do it? Leia closed his eyes in agony.

"Hehe, well! Your son wishes to ask Mother to help me gather more skilled blacksmiths; I will have great use for them!" Liu Fan scratched his head awkwardly.

A vile, lowly actor! I had long known of the friction between the legal wife and my mother, but I never imagined she could speak with such harsh malice.

Liu Fan, who was already dead drunk, gathered all his strength and concentrated every ounce of his focus. He stretched his neck as far as it could go and narrowed his eyes, striving solely to make out the identity of the person stepping forward to meddle.

"Of course it's an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!" After hanging up the phone, Guo Nianfei took Ling Xue'er back to the Willis Hotel and had An'an accompany her.

Seeing this, Yun Tian furrowed his brows slightly and paid no heed to the two figures descending from above, because on the side of Xuanyang City, another figure had likewise stepped through space and appeared.

Ziling spoke in a soft, gentle voice, addressing him as "Uncle-Master" at every turn. Coupled with her stunning appearance, it made it quite impossible for Exalted Sovereign Hucha to maintain his anger.

As Lin Feng's voice faded, streams of pristine currents converged around his body, and vast spiritual energy gathered above his head, transforming into a luminous talisman. From it, a pure and clear aura seemed to flow down from the void, rendering him incomparably mystical.

"Weren't you going to check on Second Brother? How is he? He couldn't possibly be faking illness, could he?" Lady Dong asked.

"How would you know if you don't try?" Ji Han smiled, once again pinging the opponent's mid-lane outer tower. Following that, he warded the edge of the river near the Baron pit, placed another ward at the entrance of F4, and only then joined the push to take down the tower.

Immediately following them were three obscure, hazy, profoundly mysterious, and supreme "True Word Glyphs."

"Right, your restorative tonic is ready. I'll go fetch it for you," Ji Yuqian said softly, hurrying off toward the kitchen.

Si Junhao was first momentarily dazzled by her smile, and immediately afterward was driven to a state of amused exasperation by her words.

With a single slash of her sword, a sharp and terrifying blood-colored sword beam reduced the "Yamata no Orochi divine beast" summoned by Qin Tian into nothingness and illusions.

Overall, she looked quite similar to a human, though with an added touch of alluring enchantment—largely because she was wearing so little...

On the evening of the seventh day of the first lunar month, which was also the final night of the Spring Festival holiday, Wei Rento, just as he usually did, brought Yue Ming to "Miracle Bar" to drink and make merry. Accompanying the two of them was Lin Xingchen, who had just returned from the holiday break.

The spotlight shone upon Telesdon. Struck down to the ground, Telesdon let out wave after wave of miserable shrieks.

"Knock, knock." A knock sounded at the door. Ji Liunian reacted like a startled cat, instinctively wanting to stand up and break free from Sheng Shi's embrace, but his arms locked tight, trapping her securely.

As for Long You and the others, upon hearing that Ye Chen and his companions were actually members of the ancient divine Ye clan, they felt immense astonishment. No wonder Ye Chen had warned that there might be countless dangers—so that was the reason.

Sheng Kai sighed. It wasn't for him to gossip, but although Sheng Shi thought he had concealed his feelings well, to outsiders, he hadn't hidden much at all, had he?

The jewelry released by the Yi Group today was entirely from Yulu's designs. Every single piece had been stolen by Su Mei, without even the slightest alteration, making it completely impossible for Yulu to accept.

Clearly, she was only averagely pretty, far from being an peerless beauty, and even further from being someone capable of toppling a city or country. Yet why was he still so utterly infatuated with her body?

With practiced skill, she scaled and gutted the fish, washed it clean, rubbed the pre-prepared seasonings all over it, and then got the rest of the side dishes ready.

Lian Yi-jun could already sense an extraordinarily powerful primordial energy within his body, yet he still found himself completely unable to see through these people before him.

Shen Xiaoyun naturally continued to speak up for Li Mucong at this moment; after all, the man was the nation's husband—once you truly figured out what he looked like, you would understand what kind of work he did.
