Chapter 67: Who Ordered Male Escorts?
Zhang Xiaoliang took a very brief look around the kitchen. Pots, pans, bowls, and dishes were all there, but there was no kitchen knife.
At that moment, in the top-floor office of the Tang Corporation building, Tang Shengming was intently browsing through the company's latest trends. "Achoo!" A sudden sneeze startled the few people clacking away at computer keyboards nearby.
Shen Long frowned slightly. Why on earth would Lin Hao suddenly run out of Divine City at a time like this? The thought sparked a sudden, inexplicable sense of unease deep within him.
Seeing his men dwindling in number and realizing that failing to retreat would risk total annihilation, the Japanese major hurriedly ordered the surviving soldiers to fall back to their starting point. Gathering beneath the city gate, they prepared to strategize for the next assault.
How could the Alliance Master of the Scarlet Moon possibly pay attention to Ling Jiangchen's words? His mind was entirely consumed by this ancient seal. Even as a quasi-Divine Emperor, he was unable to peer through the ancient seal; he could only sense that it contained boundless and endless realms of profound charm.
Yet Zou Wei was a truly kind-hearted person. He laid down his hatred and transformed it into love. Although Lei Zehao could not be saved in time, if he had spirit in heaven, he would surely be filled with boundless gratitude, for the one who tried to save him was his own enemy.
Liu Yan smiled helplessly. He truly had no idea what to do about Wang Xiaoliang's stubborn persistence.
Days passed quietly and imperceptibly. Although Lin Baiqian had improved significantly, her doctor still insisted that she remain hospitalized. This drove her nearly crazy with boredom, as she was confined to her hospital bed all day long, taking nothing more than a few simple steps around the ward for exercise.
Zhang Nianzu waved at the crowd and headed toward the hospital where Xu Yingdong was staying, taking Li Changgui and Ah San along with him.
The insider they found today was a man named Old Wang, a typical character who would do anything for money. The moment they met, Wang Bao handed him ten silver dollars. Seeing how generous Wang Bao was before any work was even done, Old Wang became all the more eager to offer clever strategies and advice.
People's perspectives vary greatly. Back in the day, what was it that the legendary Master Jin saw when he was in Hong Kong?
Fated beasts were a special species created by humans combining beast and demon genes, along with natural mutations. From a biological standpoint, the evolution of certain fated beasts was incomplete, particularly regarding their intelligence.
This time, after finishing his lectures for the third-year cadets, Colonel Borgwein volunteered to offer the second-year cadets a special three-year sniper training course.

Sensing the palpable gunpowder in the air between the world's richest man and the young master from the capital, the crowd quickly retreated, clearing a path for them. With gloating expressions, they watched the two men who had suddenly become the center of attention, silently mourning for the two fools in their hearts.
Concealment had numerous advantages, and at this very moment, it had secured at least one: it created ample suspense.
Lier was innocent, but she wasn't foolish. A trace of disappointment flickered across her face before she squatted down, staring blankly at the soil where the "stone seed" had been buried.
To be fair, Bai Xiaochun's adoration for Lin Fan had now broken through all geographical boundaries, practically manifesting itself blatantly out in the open.
The Jin Dynasty was impoverished and weak; continuing to fight would inevitably drag the country down to ruin. The Emperor of Jin was no fool—how could he not understand such a logic? The only reason he still ordered the attacks to continue was to wait for the Song Dynasty to show genuine sincerity in surrendering.
It was merely an opening, yet it left behind so much suspense that one simply could not walk out of the theater before the movie ended.
Seeing this, Wang Ming lashed out with his claws to grab Dubixin's shoulder. As if he had anticipated the move beforehand, Dubixin bent slightly at the waist and swept right past him.
I helped Quan Xisha execute a Soul Separation technique once. Naturally, I was the caster while Quan Xisha was the user. Using my magic, I extracted Quan Xisha's soul and sent it into Yun Jinghong's memories. However, the process did not last long; just ten minutes later, Quan Xisha returned.
Those generals and commanders eager to attack Wu City had no idea that at this very moment, nearly all the Wei soldiers had fallen into the exact same predicament as them. The lands beside them were likewise ablaze with beacon fires everywhere! Thus, along the east-west frontline, beacon fires flared up one after another in succession, sending urgent warnings to the people of Wei.
Seeing her handle matters with such poise and deftly neutralize the influence of the Yellow Crane Boy, Xu Xian felt a surge of secret admiration in his heart.
Just like now, with their mother sitting there in silence, neither Liu Shiyu nor Duan Xu dared to speak a word.
As the finals drew closer, all five members suffered from varying degrees of pre-competition anxiety.
The night passed without incident. The next day at noon, Duan Xu and Sun Shuxia went together to the hospital and visited Mei Ting.

"Dream on!" Bond's arm suddenly stretched out, trying to snatch Carlo away before that happened, but it was destined to be entirely in vain.
"Are you so certain?" The emperor hadn't expected Zhong Nan's reply to be so resolute, entirely unlike those slick bureaucrats who only ever spoke in ambiguous platitudes and dared not commit to anything.
Just then, the servant who had been shouting earlier piped up: "Then vacate a room for us!" he demanded in an arrogant and haughty tone.
"Great Khan, since our chances of winning a battle against the Ming army are slim, I suggest we retreat northward first, deal with Aduqin, and then plan our next move!" Yide Ri said with a gloomy tone.
Just as the twelve demons were about to stand up, the scar-faced man suddenly raised his right hand. The next instant, the twelve daggers hovering above the child's head abruptly reappeared right above the heads of the twelve demons.
"Why on earth is it so? How can she possess such a serene and detached gaze? Even if she is proud and self-driven, she shouldn't remain entirely indifferent to other people's gossiping rumors, should she?" Driven by curiosity, Gu Fei did not approach the crowd, but instead crept closer, pricking up his ears to carefully listen to what everyone was saying.
The Taoist priest had given me an amulet earlier, claiming it could temporarily boost spiritual and light energy. Struggling against my own body, I tried to turn around and fish the item out. Qingling's hand trembled, and a breath of mine leaked out.
Although Chu Zhenyuan had never been stingy when it came to material things for Chu Yao, she was very sensible and never blamed him or complained. Despite being a corporate heiress, she never spent money recklessly and had always been frugal, which only made Chu Zhenyuan feel an even deeper sense of guilt.
Zhou Gang's face twitched in agony. He hurriedly spat out a mixture of saliva and blood, only to discover with a shock that it contained three of his own teeth.
Though increasing his cultivation base was supremely important to Han Qianyu at the moment, the prerequisite for doing so was maintaining a sound mental state. Impetuosity and eager haste would only yield counterproductive results.
