A Heart Stirred with Excitement

Qu Wan held her phone, suddenly at a loss for what to do. Her heart pounded wildly, and the warmth on her cheeks gradually rose. She swallowed nervously, barely daring to believe what she had just heard, even wondering if she had misheard. But no, she was only twenty-three; she couldn’t be hearing things yet. Biting her lip, she finally summoned the courage to look at the camera and said, “Mm, I miss you too.” The person on the other end was calm, and hearing this, smiled gently. “You should get some rest.” Qu Wan nodded, and almost simultaneously, both of them raised their hands to end the call.

Jiang Zeyu fell back onto the couch, clutching his phone and pressing it to his chest, taking deep breaths to steady himself.

Meanwhile, although Director Gao had given his instructions, Tang Dingguo still handed the menu to the esteemed director. In the end, they ordered six stir-fried dishes, four vegetarian and two meat, and since he had driven himself, no wine was ordered.

“Mother, do you truly wish for Liu Yanran... to become the Empress?” Long Yan could hardly believe it; his mother actually harbored such intentions. His hands still trembled at the memory of that moment. What if she died? What if she died by his hand?

A sound as if the heavens had been torn apart chilled Lin Tian’s heart. Clearly, the formation had already been broken. He cursed inwardly: What kind of damned formation is this, what Ten Thousand Souls Array? Must I die here?

In the past, Huangfu Minghan disliked his own hypersensitive sense of smell, because every odor was magnified many times before him.

Everyone else’s attention was originally on Kong Moran; now, seeing the two exchanging glances, their hearts beat anxiously.

Usually, Princess Bei Yue would have to rest at home for several days until she fully recovered before daring to return to her studies.

“What responsibility does he bear? Do you even know what he’s done? He even conspired with Liu Chengtian’s old followers to plot rebellion, did you know that?” Xuan Yue exclaimed angrily.

This is precisely why, in history, the Japanese army was so powerful yet could not eliminate the guerrilla squads armed with little more than broken guns. As for the National Defense Army’s tactics, they included positional warfare, assault operations, guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, special operations, infantry-tank cooperation, and infantry-air cooperation—a flexible and varied array of strategies.

“Alright! I, Zhao Dezhu, with my hundred-plus pounds, will join the squad. Captain Shi, assign the tasks!” To boost morale, Zhao Dezhu decided to participate directly in the combat, no longer hiding aside with his two signalmen as before.

The provisional command oversaw the Independent Division, as well as the First and Second Provisional Divisions. The Independent Division was already at full strength, but each provisional division lacked nearly eleven thousand men.

Cai Yuluan’s affinity for the metal element naturally suited Shi Yu and his companion. Though the beast was not particularly imposing, it was swift, capable of carrying the two and working in harmony with their swordplay—a remarkable ally.

At first, Feng Lang simply watched and admired quietly, saying nothing. But as he watched further, he felt increasingly perplexed.

The momentum roared like mountains and seas, and amidst the bewildered gazes of the myriad strange beasts, the clash was completed, as if the heavens had collapsed and the earth had split, making every creature tremble uncontrollably.

The paired birds soared straight to Sky Sword Sect. Feng Lingxi stood beneath their necks, her robes billowing—her reputation preceded her, and naturally, she entered unimpeded.

Seeing Xia Nuan’s expression, Luo Jing was certain now—there were indeed scars on her body. Unable to resist, he sat beside her and took her hand.

Miao Mengyao awoke with a start, nodded slightly, and looked apologetically at Mu Xiaofeng, making a gesture for him to call.

Looking up at the production team, one should, in truth, bring mosquito repellent and medicine for injuries when filming in the countryside.

For the next while, Zhou Zekai was busy running between construction sites, companies, and schools. Though he earned a decent amount, the exhaustion was relentless; his skin even darkened a shade. Seeing him so hard at work, Fang Peijin often prepared delicious food to replenish his health.
