Chapter 42: Safely Secured

In the military, seniority is indispensable for promotion. The reason he was able to rise to the rank of Rear General after only a short period and just a few battles was simply because he caught the tide of the founding of Wu.

That the first episode managed to achieve such an astonishing result was a rarity even among television programs worldwide.

"Fantastic!" Saul exclaimed, bending down to jump out of the car, hurrying eagerly towards the front of the convoy.

The same matter could be handled perfectly by Master Lu Kun, yet he himself simply couldn’t manage it no matter how hard he tried.

Yang Shu appeared somewhat unsettled; she glanced at Zhang Ye, addressed him respectfully as "Senior Brother," then said nothing more and walked away.

“Among the twenty or so bugs sitting across from us, which one is the Seventeenth Prince? Should I give him a gift later? Let’s be clear, if I have to give one, you’ll have to do it for me—I haven’t prepared anything,” Cheng Yong said.

The moment Yang Tian’s mind wavered, the Vast Tranquility Pearl within him immediately released waves of cool energy, soothing his restless heart at once.

Emma nodded, greeted Lucy and Sparkle, asked Natasha a quick question, and then, as if nothing had happened, took a seat beside Jing Tian.

As if to confirm the suspicions of the Dortmund fans, Nuremberg’s number 6, who was being substituted off, walked off the pitch at a snail’s pace, limping all the way.

This divine artifact was the perfect match for the Decay Flail. To activate the enchanted power of the Decay Flail and strike a target required a great deal of energy, and the energy of this sub-legendary weapon could only be recharged with soul stones.

Crystallizing the power of miracles was also how the Radiant Sun Church produced indulgences on a massive scale.

Before going to the Public Security University, Jiang Xiuhe called Han Jin, who had already arranged for someone to wait for her at the school gate.

Saul, hit directly by the Destroyer’s light cannon, crashed through several vehicles that blocked the road.

When Yaya saw Chen Cui, she threw her arms around her neck and burst into tears, sobbing so hard she hiccupped. In the end, Chen Cui consoled her, saying she wouldn’t let Yaya play with Ugly Egg anymore, that she herself would play with Yaya from now on.

“Did you get here early on purpose?” Zi Meng demanded, eyeing Ye Weichen’s smug look.

What could Wang Jiechun say? He could already imagine it: soon, his several great-uncles would arrive, and so would his other brothers and sisters. After all, now that their family had reached the capital, it would become their stronghold.

She disguised herself as Dou Twelve precisely to enter the Celestial Domain and to have an extra layer of protection for her identity. With Ximen Shi now acting as her guide, sparing her quite a bit of trouble, how could she refuse?

Zhou You wanted to ask for two more boxes of yak jerky as a reward for his hard work, but Song Guyan didn’t understand at all, leaving Zhou You disgruntled.

One afternoon, as soon as Bian Yuanhang got his salary, he immediately sent a message to Li Ninger.

Zhang San charged back and forth through the fray, while the soldiers behind him quickly filled in. In less than three minutes, this massed assault on the city walls was crushed. Zhang San stretched his muscles with satisfaction; ever since rising to a high position, he rarely had such opportunities.

The previous generation’s Gluttony, one of the Seven Sins warriors—when he spoke of “the old boss,” he meant Lan Ye, who was the leader of both Qi Fengnian and Rong Huayian.

Lone Sword never expected Mo Lingxi would agree to leave with the other side. Just as he was about to speak, the Blade King beside him, having guessed Mo Lingxi’s intentions, held him back and signaled with his eyes.

“Then what kind of person do you think your brother is?” Zhang Tianyi didn’t answer the question, instead steering the conversation back.

When Su Zheng shared his idea, everyone in the Fire Sword Hall was shocked and then fell silent.

“That was designed by the heir himself. A long triangular flag for ‘Shu,’ with a red background, golden edges, seven-colored embroidery, and a golden coiling dragon,” Shu Guoping explained.

There was also worry that while Jiang Heng was away, if another powerful enemy invaded, the Southern Star Sea might not be able to withstand it.

At that moment, Luo Hen was absentmindedly staring at the sky. Everything that had happened in the past two days still seemed hard to accept in retrospect.

Jiang Bai, meanwhile, sat at the table deep in thought. None of this had anything to do with him; he had more important matters to attend to.

The newcomer had sobered up considerably, and with Shen Ping pressing him, anyone would find it impossible to remain calm in the shop.

Old Pi rushed back from outside and told me to stay in the staff dormitory tonight—the bed had already been made ready for me.

In this way, Jiang Bai and his companions got a full view of the transshipment facilities operated by the international trafficking syndicate in Lanriska.

He raised his right hand without hesitation and pressed the object he’d just collected to the center of his forehead.

After cutting down several fleeing soldiers, the general rallied a force of several hundred men, re-entered through the east gate, and launched a counterattack on the Han army.

Jiang Shu’s heart quivered as she crept forward step by step. Ever since her father’s passing, she hadn’t felt such a suffocating sense of compulsion in a long time.

She looked up to scrutinize closely, her sweet smile softening the coldness in her gaze. She was a completely different person from the one who had just held a knife to her own throat. On closer inspection, she looked exactly like Jing Lan.

Especially within the second level of space, the vortex of life-devouring energy began to frantically consume the vitality within the godhood.

She reminded herself that business trips were for work, so she chose three suits and two sets of casual clothes, folded them neatly into her suitcase, and picked matching cufflinks and tie clips.

Therefore, obtaining this ancient star map was not something to be excessively excited about.

The three dark elves, as soon as they saw Farris, flew at him madly, paying no heed to Mo Tian’s side.

An old hand truly deserves the title; with a single remark, Shi Zuoxing laid bare the truth, leaving Zhou Li dumbfounded. The lines she had prepared were rendered useless, and the initiative she had just gained was lost in an instant. For a moment, Zhou Li didn’t know what to say.
