Chapter 144: Revenge (Part 6)

Zhong Hou thought with a hint of triumph that this was the best of both worlds. He had managed to take a small advantage and share an indirect kiss, yet it was all in good fun and completely harmless.

Meanwhile, Eric was walking hurriedly toward her, holding a steaming cup of milk tea that gave off an enticing aroma. The pleasant, milky scent drifted into Wen Yin's nostrils, filling her entire body with an inexplicable sense of calm and composure.

Naturally, these pirates were bloodthirsty; the moment they saw their leader behave so heroically, they lunged at the Dragon-Tiger Army like famished tigers.

"Ha, are you thinking of joining the Oriental family as well? If you perform well, you might even be rewarded with a divine spark," Gou Buli teased with a smile.

The two of them traded barbs on their own, both fixing their gaze on each other, searching for the slightest flaw so they could end it once and for all and defeat their opponent in a single stroke.

Just then, the figures in black ahead launched a simultaneous assault, leaving Xia Shuang in a difficult dilemma. At this critical moment, several silver arrows pierced through the air and embedded themselves directly into the bodies of the men in black. Several of them collapsed to the ground instantly, each with a white silver arrow piercing right through the center of their chest.

"Xue'er, are you alright?" Dongfang Tian asked, before drawing his Dragon Chant sword and thrusting it fiercely toward the beastman.

While I was on the bus, I had promised him that I would give him a call as soon as I got home, but at this moment, I suddenly found myself terrified of speaking to him, having no idea what to say.

When Fang Zixin looked at Qin Wanyi, who was tightly embracing and clinging to Gu Jiangzhou, a jealousy-fueled emotion raged wildly within her veins.

"How is it? Do you and Lady Murong Xun have a place to stay? If you don't mind, you are welcome to rest at my humble abode for a while," Yu Cang said.

There are only three residential compounds on the island in the middle of the lake, and they are extremely expensive, with an annual rent exceeding tens of thousands of contribution points.

Afterward, it took him only eight years to cross the realms of Warrior and Master, advancing all the way to the General stage. This pace of cultivation left him with virtually no rivals among his peers in Lingnan, making him the undisputed number one among the younger generation in the region.

A hopeless gambler, having lost his money and with nowhere else to turn, immediately thinks of borrowing money to bounce back, and thus the debt relationship is smoothly established.

That peach-red dress would easily look tacky on most people, but worn by her, it only served to accentuate her alluring charm.

The scale of these two meals was completely different from ordinary hosting. Usually, it reflected the degree of importance attached to the other person—the number of people who show up upon resignation typically signifies one's popularity and character within the company.

Shangguan Xuan said with a smile that the Shangguan family truly had to thank Di Tianyu this time; if not for him, the family would indeed have been in grave danger.

"Ha, I thought the same way when I first joined the crew, you'll find out when the time comes." Taking a deep drag, Huang Bo stubbed out his cigarette butt and flicked it into the dark depths.

It was only when she was wronged that she remembered Zhou Qi. On the day Zhou Qi received the news, he brought men to corner her ex-husband in a bar's back alley and gave him a severe beating. He then picked her up from her home, told her that a dog can never change its habit of eating feces, urged her to get a divorce, and promised that no matter how difficult things got, he would take good care of her.

Dorgon also arrived with the main force of the Qing army, totaling over fifty thousand Qing cavalry. In reality, the core Manchu Eight Banners heavy cavalry numbered only a little over ten thousand, while the rest were either Mongol cavalry or Manchu Eight Banners mounted heavy infantry.

When she first blossomed with romantic longing, she had also imagined countless times what it would be like to walk hand in hand with him for the rest of her life, wandering through lakes and mountains day after day. Back then, she had long since believed that the legendary immortals of fairy tales were nothing more than this.

Jun Qinglan shook her head. This old man had gone mad wanting to take an apprentice; even she herself couldn't figure out what had caught his eye. Letting him pester her day after day was merely a way to ensure that Chen Motai would have a much greater chance of survival through the old man's intervention.

As the founder of a sect and a martial arts grandmaster, Feng Tiannan enjoyed a towering reputation in the Lingnan martial arts world, with his fame spreading far and wide all the way to the capital, where even the military officers had heard of him.

The wall of the police academy was not made of paper. Our hero Jiao Maosheng possessed the fearless, self-sacrificing spirit of "success or martyrdom," yet facing the impenetrable walls of the police academy, even if he chanted "Amen and Amitabha" hysterically, his efforts could only end in vain.

When working, they always tended to forget their boss's actual age. At this moment, however, it suddenly hit them that he was only eighteen years old, having just reached adulthood.

"Chilian's Fiery Charm technique is profoundly powerful, and after Yue'er was struck by it, the dormancy period was very long, leaving both her mind and body severely tormented and extremely weak. Let her sleep for a while!" Duanmu Rong said gently, looking at Yue'er.

"Uncle, please don't stand on ceremony. Just treat me like family," Jiao Maosheng said with a candid expression, always fond of using leverage to move obstacles and borrowing strength to achieve his goals.

Li Guodong was naturally aware of the news that Hong Taiji had personally led his army to arrive, and the Mongols could fight for two more days.

The guard seemed to sense something, walking up from below and circling around Dao Zhi. Finding nothing unusual, he was about to head back when Dao Zhi called out to him.

Upon Beryl's words, Yi Cheng suddenly understood: he had felt something was amiss, and this was why.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties, but he looked exceptionally aged. The heavy burdens of life seemed to have slightly bent his spine, his face was covered in wrinkles, and the corners of his eyes were deeply etched with the vicissitudes of life.

Chu Xuan suddenly felt so touched that he almost wanted to cry; after all, what could possibly excite a sister-complex more than knowing his younger sister depended on him?

He never stopped to think that had Su Mei not been so wicked of her own accord, those karmic retributions would never have fallen upon her.

However, this also caused Silver Glow to lose its chance at a breakthrough, as it was entangled by the approaching Sand Dragon and forced into a fierce melee, temporarily unable to serve any other purpose.
