Volume 1, Chapter 48: You Only Asked Me to Save His Life

Wan Mengmeng rushed forward upon seeing this, attempting to grab Wu Zhaodi's hand. "No... You can't leave! You promised to save your younger brother! Wu Zhaodi!"

However, Wu Zhaodi dodged to the side, cast a look of utter disgust at her, and turned to walk out the door, her steps swift and without a moment's hesitation.

It was as if staying here for even a single second filled her with revulsion.

Seeing that she was truly about to leave, the boy's father panicked completely and loudly shouted for the villagers outside to help.

Having crippled the family's most powerful coercive apparatus, the enemies they had provoked were now everywhere within the family. How could this Ancestor Nanhua possibly be so weak? Could he even overthrow their direct lineage? This defied all logic!

Just as he was immersed in his golden dream of wealth, a sudden beast roar shattered the silence, and in an instant, birds, beasts, and flying insects alike scattered in all directions as if the apocalypse had arrived.

The war between the Ji and Xiao kingdoms had lasted for nearly four years. During these four years, the Xiao Kingdom had gained no real advantages and had instead lost one city and two strategic passes.

Emperor Shang was clear-headed; he loved Ye Xueying and wanted to spend his entire life with her, absolutely unable to bear watching her marry the Emperor of Wu.

What he hoped for was to break through to the rank of Battle Scholar, giving his family the strength to protect themselves and restore equilibrium, thereby preserving the fragile friendship between them.

"Hmph~ It doesn't look like much either. It's not even as developed as the technology on Blue Star, and there are mere mortals everywhere, truly countless in number. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is pitifully scarce, almost on the verge of total exhaustion. No wonder there are so few cultivators left."

In a desolate, hilly region, two factions were engaged in a fierce firefight in the distance, with the massive carcass of an evolved beast lying on the ground. It was not snowing, but the biting northern wind made it feel even colder.

From the very beginning, when Yu Zhen informed Zhao Jihuan of Li Zandong's death, he had never intended to let him leave alive.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu did not feel surprised. After all, having heard such remarks too often, getting his clothes soaked through every time he cooked was completely normal, which was why Lu Yu generally avoided wearing boxer briefs in the past.

However, the conditions in ancient times made it impossible to produce such high-proof liquor. Therefore, medicinal wines from ancient times were predominantly nourishing and restorative tonics.

Approaching the barrier, everyone's spiritual perception, gazes, and entire focus were concentrated upon it, yet for the moment, no one dared to act rashly.

Though Ouyang Yi claimed he didn't care, in his heart he still minded somewhat how his family viewed his divorce.

These rules were simulations and digitizations of reality... gravity, the durability of objects—these were all predetermined, known constants. Here, you could utilize them, or you could rewrite them, provided you possessed a formidable mind.

"I want to know why I became Lu Mingze instead of someone else," Anyi asked seriously, pronouncing every word with deliberate precision.

The hedgehog-like machine guns spat out strings of shells, giving the three Zakus the helpless feeling of a turtle hiding in its shell, leaving their attackers no opening to exploit.

Moreover, having signed up for as many as ten competition events at once, apart from McPhail of the US team, there was simply no other athlete capable of achieving such a feat.

This was the very first thing the landlady said to him upon seeing him, and her expression of profound astonishment made a fine layer of cold sweat break out across his back.

The old man carrying the five-colored flower had already participated in several sessions of the Treasure Exchange Convention, yet while many came to look, only a handful ever asked for prices, let alone made a purchase.

Anyi's parents were relatively fortunate. After interacting, they developed feelings for each other, and marrying established an emotional foundation that compensated for the skipped dating phase. After Anyi was born, they fully embraced their responsibilities as parents and never compromised on his education.

In this place, there were no conflicts or bloodshed; everything was filled with absolute harmony. The druids drew life-sustaining energy from the World Tree and then nurtured the World Tree in return.

Having decided to go to Peiling, Yang Qianfeng called local township police officer Li Chunsheng, and they set off in the station's jeep. Along the way, Li Chunsheng briefed Yang Qianfeng on some of the conditions within the township.
