Volume One, Chapter 42: He Was Never This Domineering Before

There were quite a few people in the room. Apart from Xiao Tao, who was covering her mouth and giggling, no one dared to spare them more than a glance.

Xiao Tao was delighted; she cheerfully pulled out a chair, inviting Gu Moting to set Su Qiuyu down.

To everyone's surprise, Gu Moting sat down while still holding Su Qiuyu.

Like a child, Su Qiuyu found herself completely trapped within his embrace.

"Hey, hey, stop looking. We made such a racket and there wasn't a sound from those cells. I suspect most of them are empty. Even if there are people inside, they're either dead or half-dead; they couldn't possibly break out to attack us." Lu Xingyue shrugged and said.

"This corridor is safe for now. Let's move." Jiang Yao looked back and gestured to Lu Xingyue, who finally regained her composure after a brief moment of surprise. She pulled another flare bead from her waist for illumination and followed Jiang Yao inside.

A cold, bewitching voice drifted over from "Siyin Street." Appearing there were none other than Xiang She and the "Ghost Fang" guard unit, who had been waiting in ambush.

Gazing at the Great Wall Legion's encampment, Li Xin felt both surprised and somewhat dismissive. Meng Tian had built the camp like a fortress, which was entirely unnecessary. In Handan, any Zhao resident who held a weapon had long since perished under the blades of the Qin army; the city of Handan no longer possessed the strength to resist.

"Father had anticipated that a robbery might occur at home, but he never expected it to be orchestrated by Zhu Di. The one who slipped through the net turned out to be Ji Gang. Father hesitated at the time; he truly wanted to call you back, to let you escape that treacherous place. The imperial palace is truly a place of strife!" Father said.

Originally, it should have been Prince An and Lu Feiling in the water pavilion, waiting to be caught. He had known about this trap from beginning to end.

After finishing their meal, they asked the restaurant owner for Liu Bo’s address. The two hurried away and arrived at Liu Bo's home. Pushing open the door, they saw a familiar figure: it was Liu Bo's mother, feeding chickens by a coop.

The State of Qin rose from the Western Rong; it valued military merit above all and practiced neither benevolence nor righteousness. The reputation of Qin as a "land of tigers and wolves" had long spread among the six eastern states. The Confucianism inherited by Kong Fu revered the Duke of Zhou and regarded the Ji-surname vassal states of the east as orthodox. As for the western State of Qin, Kong Fu was unwilling to acknowledge it.

Of course, the film enjoyed an overwhelming majority of positive reviews, which was reflected in its box office performance. If the film had truly been limited to a heavy theme, it would have been unlikely to achieve such great commercial success. This "Miss Granny" also contained plenty of humor, warmth, and delicate touches of everyday life.

"Uncle, what’s the matter? Can’t I, your junior, come specifically to pay you a visit?" Bi Fang had his men place the gifts he brought on the table, then sat himself down on the office sofa with a sense of ease.

He looked up at the void, and for some reason, the moment the bronze gate opened, a faint sense of crisis suddenly emerged in his heart.

Everyone stood up in unison and respectfully shouted, "Chairman," as Loulan Chen motioned for them to be seated.

"I am human, too! When I see someone powerful, I also feel a moment of hesitation! But as for me... it seems I really don't have much need for your existence!" Fanyu said, smiling helplessly. After all, he was a man who had walked back from the gates of death.

Hearing this, Xi Zhan’s vibrant lips seemed to turn even more vivid. His peach-blossom eyes were filled with amusement, the corners crinkling with a lingering charm.

The people in the jungle were all silent; the older male beasts under the trees tensed their bodies, ready to spring up for a bloody battle at any moment. Luo Li listened to the sounds outside the forest. Although she had grown accustomed to the roars of tigers over this time, the sounds she heard now were filled with fury. One could only imagine how intense the battle outside must be.

However, although the energy within a mana crystal is immense, it is also incredibly stable; it is impossible for it to explode. Otherwise, it would not be nearly as valuable.
