Chapter 46: After Rebirth, I Married My Fiance's Uncle (Part 5)
Zhao Mengge gave Gao Si a sideways glance before walking over to greet the others. Although she was a partner at Gao Si Venture Capital, she essentially acted as the general manager. She personally participated in every equity change and was well-acquainted with everyone.
Xiahou Xian specifically hosted a banquet and notified all mid- to high-ranking generals in the military camp to attend.
Earlier, the old couple had been cutting in and talking over each other, leaving Huang Han no time to chime in. Now, she finally found an opportunity to speak.
In fact, Zhuang Zuqin's idea was to create a false impression of an impending contract signing through an in-person meeting. The closer it seemed to signing, the more afraid the other party would be of losing the order. This would allow her to exert pressure and further drive down the procurement price.
As for Zhang Ruoyu, Gu Xiaoxiao, and the others, they were left in sheer astonishment, wondering what earth-shattering deed Jiang Ke had pulled off this time to make even the commander want to kill him.
While they didn't understand the literal meaning of many words in Yang Mianmian's speech, her proposed method was unanimously approved.
Finally, through Hong Yi, Zhang Xuan learned that Hong Xuanji had stayed in the imperial palace for ten days before returning, but he had gone out again shortly after coming back, leaving even Hong Yi clueless about his whereabouts.
Another wave of arrow rain descended from the sky courtesy of the scorpion-sting ballistae, directly nailing the emerging undead mage apprentices to the ground.
"I actually quite like it; I got to see a completely different Pei Yu," Xu Zibo said with a smile.
Tonilo felt a faint sense of familiarity looking at the young man on the ground, yet he couldn't quite place it. Could he know him? Pondering recent events, Tonilo was certain he had no such friend.
The latter was brave and fond of fighting with a rather hot temper, but he had a brain; unlike those hotheads who went about stirring up trouble everywhere.
Leng Yanyu gazed with curiosity at the vast and wondrous place before her. Her older brother had always warned her how terrifying this place was, calling it a forbidden zone within the celestial realm that she must never enter. Yet, what now reflected in her eyes was an expanse of lush greenery.
The Emperor indeed had not spent the night in the Qinshe Palace. She felt a trace of disappointment mixed with a hint of confusion: Since the two of us are husband and wife, why does he never stay by my side at night?
"I don't understand what you are talking about." I stared fixedly at the elevator, feigning composure. How could He Xiao have seen that scene just now when he was standing outside the room? Was he guessing, or was he trying to bluff me?
Moving from near to far, Ling Xiao observed very carefully. In the dark environment, there were quite a few thermal images. Those thermal images belonged to animals, not humans. However, the visual range of this night-vision telescope was limited, making it impossible for him to observe the area near the valley entrance.
As we looked at the traffic ahead and the distant, hazy green mountains, we all recalled that night from many years ago.
Since the sea of the soul is so vast and boundless, wouldn't finding the eye of the soul be like searching for a needle in a haystack?
Before anyone could voice their confusion, however, the lid of the cauldron burst open. Instantly, a dazzling orange light surged out from within. Although it was already noon with the sun blazing brightly, everyone was still momentarily blinded by the piercing orange radiance.
Seeing Jiang Lan's wretched expression, Hu Bayi stepped up and dealt him a heavy slap, signaling him not to make a fool of himself here. Even more comically, Mo Yuling's gaze was fixed on it as well, before she lowered her head in sudden shame.
"Husband! Will exposing the pagoda bring any danger?" Yu'er asked anxiously.
Cong continued driving forward along the Beijing-Shenyang Expressway, passing through Jinling and Jinzhou. Darkness had already fallen, and by the time they reached their provincial capital residence, the city lights were just coming on.
Secondly, during the past few days in the area, Xiao Han had successively visited several elders. Without exception, every time he stayed in Muzhou, there would be a lengthy conversation.
Following this collision, the torrential rain in Beiju Luzhou instantly vanished, leaving only howling, bone-chillingly cold yin winds. The Prime Dipper Sage's Seven-Treasure Miaoshu Tree trembled slightly, its brilliance flickering faintly, while the sword intent of True Person Yuding remained as steady and unchanged as ever.
As the words left his mouth, four tongues of fire immediately spewed out from the black flame fireball, heading straight for Qin Ze, Jun Xuan, Mingjue, and Zhongli Mo, the four people charging at the very front.
This was naturally nonsense. If peerless skills were leaked too much, they would sooner or later fall into the hands of enemies; who would willingly hand a sharp sword to an adversary? Yet, Yanyangtian was moved by these words, feeling they made absolute sense. Though there were more than a few people who mastered the Wudang Dao Sage's ultimate techniques like Wei Tong, to this day, the prestige of the Wudang Dao Sage remained irreplaceable.
Indeed, this world has always been about the supremacy of the strong! The will of the strong determines the fate of everyone else.
Why had he never heard of such a powerful and large-scale magical trap before? The Behemoths had been gathering data on human mages and magic for quite some time, but the kind of magical trap Robert encountered today was vastly different from any known magical traps. This was precisely why even someone as naturally suspicious as him had suffered a heavy blow.
"If I don't kill you, I'm the one who dies. So of course I have to kill you—sacrificing a mere Wenzhong amounts to nothing," Zhuang Huo sneered with a cold laugh.
There was no wind in the jungle, and the sharp, long blades of wild grass remained completely motionless. Qian Botong could not discern what was hidden within them.
If the Pride King was the most terrifying in strength among them all, then the Ice King possessed the greatest innate talent.
"Strange, how did I end up underwater, and..." Yunting muttered to yourself, looking over at the grassy patch where Jueying had been lying, only to find his luggage, the Qinggang Sword, and the Chongwu Sword all resting there.
He looked down, only to see Fuxi clamp his heavy sword with a single hand. With a push and a flick, employing another Cloud-Sensing Hand maneuver, the heavy sword slipped entirely into Fuxi's grip.
Tang Seng was only in his thirties or forties, yet the White-Faced Vixen had cultivated for several centuries, and she actually wanted to call Tang Seng her older brother. Could there be anything more ridiculous than this?
The village head had placed dry firewood inside the snake-roasting rack. The soldiers kicked those pieces of firewood aside, placed fine twigs in the middle of the rack, and gathered dry leaves and tinder to put next to the twigs.
Fang Yi did not hide it either. Since he intended to convey the news of the Fei to the Star Domain's Main Court, he had to first find an intermediary. Coincidentally, the intermediary happened to be Qian Lan before him, so telling her did no harm.
The ferocious grin on Fang Mutian's face vanished, replaced by shock. The disdain in his eyes instantly turned into astonishment, and his entire body was blasted backward by a ferocious and formidable force.
