Luo Hao sat upright at the head of the hall, with the various generals seated on both sides below. Many of the top contenders from the Hundred Battles Assembly were among them. Chen Tian spotted Hua Manyue, Shi Xiang, and others.

Today was merely a performance; there was no need to entangle with them for too long. He would fire off a couple of explosive shells to test their power and serve as a warning to those inside the city. His explosives were formidable, so they would be wise not to let the common people suffer. If they surrendered Suzhou City, everything could be negotiated; if the city were taken by force, he feared not even a chicken or dog would be left alive.

Jiang Yuan visited several more wealthy merchants and grain dealers, and as expected, they all gave the same excuse, passing the buck back and forth. Their tune was always the same: if you want grain, there is none; if you want our lives, take them.

"Damn it! Why are those two still at a stalemate? Fight already!" Yue Hai seemed not to hear Tito’s complaints, focusing excitedly on the match.

As a member of the first graduating class of the Xiangping Military Academy, Ma Feng was considered the first capable of leading troops independently. Upon receiving orders, he led his men out of the camp, causing Meng Huo to retreat once more.

"Hehe, I really should learn a thing or two. Why don't you lend me the girls from your side to give me some lessons..." Sun Li said with some hesitation.

Qin Muyang was an outstanding soldier and a brilliant general! This was the appraisal Yang Jinxin gave him from the bottom of her heart.

Calming her emotions slightly, the visitor looked up, tears still shimmering in one eye, and smiled faintly: "Lord Chaogesulide, I can now tell you my other identity: I am a commander in the Great Chu army, ordered by the Emperor of Great Chu to assist the royal army of our Heavenly Dynasty in exterminating the chaotic bandits of the grasslands!"

Lianxiang and Liao Yong both hurried toward him. Seeing his icy, expressionless face, Lianxiang couldn't help but shrink back, not daring to look up at him.

Jiang Wei walked calmly to the main seat, bowed to Vologases VI, turned around, and issued orders in a loud voice. With the Emperor overseeing the scene, none of the generals in the camp dared to speak up, each carrying out their orders with extreme reluctance and deep dissatisfaction.

"Let's have dinner first, and after that, hurry and buy some cold medicine," Chi Nuan said.

Hearing footsteps, Qin Zixuan looked up and saw Shuang Zhi. He knit his brows, his tightly clenched palms slightly damp with sweat, his throat feeling as though it had been seized, unable to utter a word.

At the dinner table, He Wei sincerely expressed the hope that Xingchen and Xie Tonghua would marry on May Day. The Xie parents readily agreed; after all, Xie Tonghua and Nie Xingchen were roughly the same age, and children their age in their social circle were already married with children.

He needed to ensure that the superhumans being sent over would not be treated unfairly. If he launched a surprise raid now, they surely couldn't arrange a facade, could they?

Lin Yunzhi and the Old Madam Lin exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of bewilderment. In addition to shock, there was a trace of bitterness in the Old Madam's eyes.

Although Nanny Zhang's words held some truth, if the child Han Yumei gave birth to were to achieve great things in the future, it would inevitably affect Dongfang Xiu's status in Dongfang Shuo's heart, and even more so his position within the Dongfang family.

Chu Yimu wanted to say something more, but seeing that she was truly uncomfortable, he turned away, burying his words deep inside, choosing not to disturb her.

Finally, this girl was his. He could rightfully take her under his wing, ensuring she would only ever need to wear a happy, carefree smile.

Su Lingyu suddenly interjected, taking a sharp breath as if it were a serious matter, and nearly choked herself.

"Grandmother is doing this for your own good." Nie Jingchen sat down opposite his grandfather, with He Wei sitting beside him. The glass in front of her was filled with orange juice.

Ma Xiaoyao was currently attending classes in the advanced group. Everyone who could enter the advanced group was an elite among elites. Of course, Ma Xiaoyao was an exception; he entered solely because the dean, Leng Rufeng, had pulled strings for him. Ma Xiaoyao was a genuine beneficiary of nepotism.

"I told you to issue a top-level wanted notice, so go do it! Don't just stand here whining!" Zhu Tianba barked furiously.

That afternoon, Li Yongchang notified the four vice mayors: a meeting would be held in the conference room tomorrow at 9:30 AM, and all four were required to attend.

Katyusha immediately opened the door, and a bodyguard from the Malik family pushed in a food cart. On it was a table full of delicacies, with a huge thermal tray at the center. The silver lid covered the tray, which usually signaled the main course of a feast.

"We must have been hit at that time. Now that all my attributes have improved, I can feel them," Zhang Zihao said.

The two balls of inner energy gathered in his palms gradually dissipated due to Ma Kun's accusations.

After being pushed into the medical pod, his space combat suit was quickly stripped off, and with everyone scrambling, his body was soon covered in tubes.

When the SWAT team members rushed to the eighth floor, even the leader couldn't help but curse under his breath; this person was too ruthless.

At thirty, we stand independent; our "official career" has only just begun. In this struggle of life, will we bring negative influences to our future partners?

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder of the Sea Clan nodded, then straightened his hunched back slightly, revealing a dignified expression as he looked toward the other seventeen great cultivators.

Hearing Chu Siqing's inner thoughts, Empress Dowager Pei and Emperor Chu Ming, who were in the middle of a conversation, exchanged a glance and silently quieted down to enjoy the spectacle together.

Xu Yangyang's phone had run out of battery and turned off at some point, so Jiang Yunan could not reach her at all.

Joking aside, it was impossible to feel awkward; even if there were any embarrassment, it would only be toward Qu Man, an elder sister. As for Qin Ze?

Thinking that the younger sister she had once treated with genuine sincerity could have such a low character—a noble lady stooping to incite theft, and stealing from her own sister—Han Wanqing felt utterly disappointed.

Although he had not yet been able to start formal cultivation, his combat ability had improved significantly through daily fights with various wild beasts. Moreover, the improvement in his diet had been of immense benefit to his physical growth.
