Volume 1, Chapter 41: A Hundred Ways to Court Death

In the living room, I looked at An Lingxi. At this moment, she was wearing a green top, a red skirt, and black silk stockings, which fully exhibited her exquisite beauty. Combined with her serene face, I found myself somewhat mesmerized.

Murong Rourou was virtuous by nature and indeed well-suited to represent the younger generation in serving tea to the elders. However, her heart was still filled with tension, and an inexplicable pressure surged from within. She must not display any improper demeanor in front of everyone, especially before her parents-in-law.

"Ha-ha, what is wrong with me? I actually had thoughts of suicide! Utterly ridiculous! These past few years have not only made me arrogant, but also so pessimistic. It seems it is time to calm my mind," Xiao Yue said with a smile.

"By the way, I once heard people say that there is an old monster in the Wang family whose cultivation has reached the late Void-Exceeding stage. I wonder if that is true or false?" someone lowered their voice to ask.

In his mind, he was pondering how to utilize this formidable skill to wreak havoc within this Gulu military base, pack up and plunder all the scientific research achievements here, and subject the place to a thorough pillage.

If his four manifestations of heaven and earth could successfully trap the hound demon beast, that would naturally be ideal. If they could not trap it, he would simply have to leave his fate to the heavens. After all, who made the opponent a demon beast at the True Immortal stage?

The primary military strength during the Southern Song dynasty was undoubtedly cavalry, which was further divided into heavy cavalry and light cavalry. Heavy cavalry, such as the Iron Pagodas of the Jin dynasty, formed the unshakable core force of the Jin state, possessing formidable offensive and defensive capabilities. Their heavy armor could withstand ordinary arrow attacks. Light cavalry excelled in mobility and offensive power.

Seeing Pei Donglai exit the classroom and pull the door shut, the principal hurried forward and asked once again for his opinion.

To increase the carrying capacity of arrows, aside from arranging the production of short-barreled arrows, Gao Chong also arranged for the manufacture of steel balls.

Ten seconds passed, and these skeleton warriors, which had previously seemed endowed with intelligence, instantly reverted to mindless walking corpses. They began attacking indiscriminately, slashing at any player they encountered other than the Lich.

Immersed in his inner office, Ye Zifan was completely unaware that he had become the subject of others' discussion.

At this thought, Xia He felt a stir in his heart. The cultivation rank that had remained stubbornly stagnant for so long suddenly showed signs of advancement.

Under the azure, warm sky, flowers and branches fluttered in the breeze. Silken garments drifted as the light, dusty wind intertwined with the breath of air, spreading wantonly across the weeping-willow-lined banks. The quiet, poetic natural lake was steeped in a soft, yellowish, aesthetic sunset glow.

Hidden in the shadows, Ye Wei was leisurely sipping a beverage she had just run out to buy. Having experienced countless battles, she instantly recognized the turbulent undertones beneath Li Dan's calm surface, as well as Li Dan's internal self-consolation. Yet, reality was reality; I am afraid, Li Dan, your self-consolation will be of no use.

"Chief Zheng, may I ask why you have alarmed everyone in the middle of the night?" someone demanded with a trace of anger, unable to hold back.

Huanhuan gazed at Baili Changfeng's desolate retreating figure, feeling a sharp pain clutching at her heart. Tears fell silently, dripping onto the back of her hand.

Shen Yang delivered a speech at the year-end assembly, which essentially boiled down to hoping for better development for the group company in the coming year and encouraging everyone to continue working hard.

When Daji was admitted to a university in Xi'an, his father withdrew a bundle of money from the bank, licking his thumb to count it bill by bill, counting it over and over again.

Just imagine if they fled to some remote place in the future—how could there possibly be an amusement park there, the very one Su Yueyue longed for day and night?

Afterward, everyone brought forward their respective culinary creations, inviting the panel of judges and hosts to taste and critique them.

Chen Yi finally understood what Master Shen meant, and a heavy stone instantly weighed down upon his heart. With so many geniuses in the past having failed to succeed, Chen Yi lacked the absolute confidence to surpass them.

Every launch of a Trident II missile meant that a family's fleet would meet a catastrophic end, which would deal a devastating blow to the Elder Council.

"Why don't the two of us duo queue once and compare our KDAs afterward?" Lin Jiang proposed his idea, which actually carried the intent of collaborating with Li Goudan. Who knows, they might even become teammates in the future?

"Humph." With a soft huff, Chen Ru turned around, picked up the dumbbells, and under Su Cheng's gaze, slowly began performing squat presses.

Then she quickly turned her head away. After a moment, realizing that Ye Chen had kept his eyes closed with no intention of opening them, she simply stopped hiding her movements and carefully scrutinized Ye Chen's face, as if she were trying to read a flower upon it.

The official League of Legends Esports department in the World Region fell into a quiet silence. This was a matter between two competitive zones; elders from the China region and the Japan-Korea region had already entered negotiations, engaging in a war of words that still failed to resolve the issue.

What concerned him most right now was the situation in places like Europe and America. He did not wish to encounter formidable opponents at this juncture; if the competitors were too powerful, it would eclipse some of the brilliance of his film, which would be highly detrimental to his development in international cinema.

"It is said to be an external liaison signal of the Soul Wheel Sect. As for why someone would issue such a thing here, I suppose there must be some situation over there," the ghost cultivator said.

"Hee-hee, I knew Grandpa is the best! Give me a kiss! Mwah!" She certainly knew how to flatter; no wonder even her own biological grandson had been outwitted by this little sprite.

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhao Jie caught sight of a flip phone lying beside a corpse—its cover had already snapped shut.

It was a very simple outfit, yet it caused Aelrike to look at Pachi in surprise. Judging by her usual demeanor, Aelrike had assumed her wardrobe consisted entirely of various types of nightgowns, never expecting her to own normal attire as well.

"Get lost, don't stand in the way of your grandpa eating!" Ma Huoxing stood up and cursed angrily. He had been doing quite well lately; knowing how to read and calculate, the foremen held him in high regard and often assigned him light tasks involving paperwork, after which he would return to his own squad.

Wuzong and Fazong masters were the foundational pillars of kingdoms and noble clans; how could they possibly abandon wealth and glory to come to this perilous, waveless sea?
