Chapter 54

When Long Tianxing returned, he saw Shuyun sitting calmly on the couch inside, embroidering. The look of surprise on his face made Shuyun suddenly realize that this capricious man before her was, in fact, a perfectly ordinary man.

Murong Xu felt nothing amiss. After Luo Ningxuan and Meng Jingxuan left, he went to the training grounds as well.

Hua Xie, accustomed to being treated like a young master and feeling overwhelmed by the stench, spoke with less courtesy, deciding to properly express his gratitude after resolving the trouble.

If he worked harder and saved up 150,000 early for his family, he could start dating and get married sooner.

“In that case, I shall take my leave,” Qin Zhen understood; if King Yu truly wished to speak, why would he be so evasive?

Su Jin lifted the silk lantern and guided Yuli Zi ahead, replying, “Master, how is Rongyun’s illness?” It was said that the Northern Pacifying King once sought the master’s help to treat Rongyun’s ailment.

“Thank you for your praise. I’m very pleased.” He smiled, set down his sandwich, and resumed editing the photos with renewed effort.

Night Nanshan probably understood Wutong’s desire for a child and so, for two months, had been diligently cooperating every night without complaint.

However, after the initial joy settled, Night Nanshan recalled Wutong’s recent words: if she couldn’t find her way home, if she couldn’t return, then she would marry him.

As if scratched in a ticklish spot, Wei Wuqi instantly grew excited and recounted the story Lin Xuan had heard many times before—but this time, told from the perspective of those involved, it carried a unique flavor.

Tang Yuanhang did not expect such a drastic change in the other party’s attitude. However, considering his injury and the impending demotion, he had no heart left for fighting.

The officer named Tian Tougang spoke slowly, resonating deeply with the artillerymen. Unfortunately, a few interruptions soon shattered the pleasant moment—a sharp voice suddenly rang out beside them.

The plum candy still in the mouth seemed to carry a bloody taste, stirring unease in the stomach.

Having seen Bai Xiaonian’s father, Lin Nuan returned to her rented room to pack her belongings, preparing to vacate so the landlord could show the place to potential buyers.

The cigarette between Fu Huaian’s fingers looked freshly lit; the room carried no noticeable smoke scent.

Everyone tacitly understood this; not just reporters, but even ordinary fans were familiar with Class 92.

Chu An returned to the wooden cabin carrying a plate of enticingly colored snake meat, setting it on the table before turning to rummage through the storage shelf.

Fugu had once been occupied by the Japanese army. The enemy tried to cross the river to capitalize on their victory but were blocked by the natural barrier of the Yellow River. They feared sending small forces that would be easily defeated and could not move large troops across swiftly.

Tebor did not expect such a long pass; Li Qiao didn’t even stop the ball but flicked it forward directly.

Yun Yue, after washing her face, came out to see her third aunt and cousin Qin Ling, both smiling faintly.

He Xiu approached with a smile, and when he said the word “kill,” his tone remained unchanged.

Among the sects, the Beast Taming Sect, as its name suggests, had many disciples skilled in controlling beasts. Located in an area with abundant Yang fire and guarded by fire sparrows, it mostly admitted disciples with fire spirit roots.

After shouting, she noticed the entire audience remained silent; everyone watched the giant screen tensely. Apart from her shout moments ago, the hall was deathly quiet.

Chen Yu stood outside the door, faintly hearing the sound of water from the bathroom. Feeling like being chased by a beast, he hurried back to his room to wash as well.

Elsewhere, Qi Yue had already unleashed the Nine Luo Absolute Killing Tower to decisively slay one demonic cultivator entangling her. The other, seeing this, grew fearful—defeat was inevitable.

Hence, Huang Yuan later chose to join the Shield Bureau as a security consultant so that Hydra would no longer harass him.

For Meng Peici, simply seeing Chu Yun return safely was the greatest happiness.

Just as she was pleased, Xu Rongrong suddenly realized a crucial question—will Zhan Yiyang succeed tomorrow night?

---

Xu Rongrong was still somewhat excited. She nodded and watched Min Shiyan leave, finally breaking into a smile.

In the aerial battle above, a Chinese fighter jet weaved through enemy squadrons, shooting down enemy planes while tirelessly protecting the trainee pilots nearby.

If Princess Linglong could not remain free of distractions, the moment the last fragment of the Seven Orifices Linglong Heart touched her heart, it would trigger a rebellion among the other fragments, possibly causing the princess to perish on the very artifact she had long sought.

In an instant, the previously disorganized natives seemed to receive a command; large groups split into two.

The aerial battle had long been tracked by the pilots and ground crew. Seeing Li Haiyang lure the enemy deep while five Japanese Zero fighters pursued him, nearly all veteran pilots doubted Li Haiyang could hold on.

Pete also understood that whether he and Yaya could succeed depended entirely on Zhao Guodong’s approval, so all eyes turned to Zhao Guodong.

Negotiations with the Americans had made some progress, especially regarding aircraft. The Americans had loosened their stance slightly. At this critical juncture, Dai Li felt it necessary to visit the flight school.

Just as the flight team rushed to rescue people amid the ruins, a Japanese warplane appeared in the sky. Diving from the clouds, it performed a 360-degree roll before executing a fancy dive, revealing two black gun barrels.

Xia Momo patted her chest, laughing, “What’s so bad about this? It’s just an extra pair of chopsticks,” taking on a responsible air.

Yet, the only response was a powerful slash; a golden dragon flashed, instantly charging the silence and raising a cloud of dust in the confined space.

“To survive three attacks from my hand is already unprecedented, but this ends here!” The Hand of God did not rush to strike. The surrounding powerful attacks alone would be enough to overwhelm them. Besides, he deemed further action unnecessary.
