Nineteen Nineteen

Especially the work of steelmaking—it is both grueling and exhausting, with a particularly harsh impact on one’s health.
Of course, I said this deliberately because I wanted to see what would happen if Cheng Pingping arrived late for our appointment.
If you ask where the most bandits gather in Lexian County nowadays, it’s not some mountain hideout but rather the Fang family estate. Within their grounds, they hold over a thousand bandits captive, forced into hard labor for the Fang family. Thus, the Fang estate has become the largest gathering place for bandits in Lexian.
“Sister Yue Lan, why be so polite with me? I’ve been living here eating and lodging for free all this time—it’s I who have troubled you,” Ye Feng said with a warm smile.
At that time, some of these retainers had risen to become generals of the empire, others marshals, holding high positions that commanded respect.
Throughout the entire mortuary chamber, thick, blood-colored mist swirled incessantly, and each corpse compartment on the walls emitted eerie creaking sounds.
“Do you really think you can gain anything this way?” Suddenly, a voice whispered into Dugu Hong’s ear, startling him greatly. Then, he immediately lost consciousness. He knew he had effectively become a captive.
In truth, Li Yue hardly understood that the true natives of the Spirit Qi Continent were unaware of such complex tactics; only Ye Feng, who in his previous life came from another world, knew these varied methods.
Meanwhile, Luo Chen and his group entered the underground through a secret door, initially winding through narrow stone steps and corridors. After some time, they saw the space ahead gradually open up. Judging by the direction, they were roughly beneath the southeast corner of the former backyard.
Passing by these sights, Li Shuci returned to her room, which had been meticulously cleaned by Qingge and Muyun—not at all like a temporary refuge. Suddenly, she longed to leave the Great Xia sooner, to find a place with mountains and water, build a cherished courtyard, sip tea while listening to opera, and watch time gently flow by, with the years showing their grace.
Lin Baling winked at Wang Gu, then swiftly crossed her arms before flying out again.
Her current condition was extremely poor; she had to strike first and finish quickly. Otherwise, if the fight dragged on, it would be disastrous.
Qi Fei had come with Prince Qi; the two respectfully greeted the empress dowager and showed no intention of leaving. The empress dowager then had the stewardess serve tea.

She had also browsed Weibo, wanting to defend Li Zongzong against keyboard warriors, but not knowing the recording fully left her vocabulary lacking, and she didn’t know how to curse effectively.
“Hua Ge, long time no see,” Li Zhonghao said awkwardly. He was deeply grateful to Fang Hua but didn’t know how to express it verbally.
He removed his mask and casually brushed his bangs aside, then took out two high-powered telescopes, handing one to Chu Zihang.
In that battle, countless experts from the Ying Kingdom emerged; beneath the Spirit Emperor’s level, no one could approach the battlefield—they were mere cannon fodder.
“Enough, stop bickering. You’re forbidden from associating with him again! If I catch you even once, you’ll face family discipline!” Jiang An issued a strict order, looking at her warningly before turning away.
In an instant, all the arcane weapons on the stall were snatched up; even the cloth laid on the ground disappeared, lost amidst the chaos.
“This place is under surveillance. If you really do such things, aren’t you afraid of punishment?” Gao Huan shouted loudly.
The two young men in the car also spoke up. Their prominently raised temples indicated they were internal martial arts experts.
In fact, even without notification from Wu Jianweichen, they had already discovered the problem and rushed to the classroom during lunch break.
Even the threshold to elite military corps was at the level of upper-tier demons. This meant that in the eyes of the commanders, a truly qualified soldier had to possess upper-tier demon strength. Only then did training and cultivation have value; otherwise, those below this standard were utterly cannon fodder.
This place was once a sacred ground for sea traders and now a destination coveted by countless young people. Moreover, this city neighbored the brightest jewel of Southeast Asia: Xiangjiang.
Wei Jinglong pointed again; Mo Xun transformed his finger into a palm and pushed forward evenly. But before his arm fully extended, his expression stiffened, and his whole body shook violently.
Ding You had indeed never heard of the term “blank zone.” Her lips moved, but she didn’t know what to say.

Had he not seen it with his own eyes, Gao Huan could hardly imagine that such a filthy and chaotic place existed within the bustling Changhai City, as splendid as the White Jade Capital in the heavens.
Burdened with sorrow, secretly shedding tears, after the confinement period, Lady Qu, having suffered many manipulations within the palaces, died before the month was out.
Several young men of the Hu family suddenly pushed hard, overturning the coffin lid. They saw a shadow flash by, but before they could react, Fang Ming’s right hand seized the shadow directly.
“Han Tan, tonight we must finalize the plan to root out traitors,” Zi Ying’s eyes suddenly brightened.
“Let’s go.” Xu Feiyue placed the bracelet into Huowu’s hand, then strode toward the area along the fifth road. Huowu nodded and followed closely behind.
On her face, there was neither resentment nor regret—only endless emptiness.
Both Grandma Floral and the Poison Pill Daoist’s expressions changed. Obviously, their secrets had been exposed, leaving them somewhat embarrassed.
“Now, what is your choice?” the leader Xiongfeng’s voice pressured, “Just for your selfishness, you abandoned Lu Chengfeng? Zhao Xiongfei, are you that kind of person? If so, take Zhang Lingling away—I have nothing more to say.” Saying this, Xiongfeng threw down the remote control at Zhang Lingling’s feet.
Zhang Liang said, “This is not an urgent matter but can be dealt with later. In my opinion, if change comes, the only one capable of controlling Han Xin is Commander Chen Ping.” The King of Han agreed, so they held their forces back, waiting quietly for the Qi army’s eastern advance. We’ll leave that matter aside for now.
Qin Hao had no objection to these Martial Sovereigns leaving; at this moment, he solemnly gave them earnest advice.
We reorganized our forces and hurried forward. There, lightning flashed and thunder roared, creating a tremendous spectacle. Surely, something major was happening. Thinking of Huang Jiewen’s mention of the Martial Mu Tomb, I formed a guess. However, the exact situation could only be known by going to the scene.
