Chapter 55: Famine

Steward Chen nodded, knowing well that his responsibilities would be even greater in the days to come. Not a single mistake could be tolerated, and everything had to be carried out to absolute perfection.

Tu Yujing looked intently at the person before him. No matter when, once he repaid this debt of gratitude, they would be even. After that, whatever else might happen, he would not—and could not—do anything more.

Beside them, Chen Chao also widened his eyes, his gaze fixed on Huangfu Rui with a radiant spark that revealed his enthusiasm and curiosity.

Furthermore, the path of martial arts was only temporarily in decline; it did not mean it lacked strength. The Great Zhou Dynasty, which had previously swept across the entire Eastern Sheng Divine Continent, was the best proof of this.

"It doesn't matter. Judging by his temperament, if I didn't fight him today, he wouldn't let me off. He has harbored hostility toward me from the moment he walked in," Wang Xudong said with a smile.

Just as the duels in the Heroes' Arena came to an end, an exciting announcement echoed through the system broadcast: with three consecutive victories totaling a high score of nine hundred points, Long Fei had been named today's Best Warrior.

Yet when she met those clear and resolute eyes, an inexplicable flutter stirred deep within her heart.

Indeed, just as Li Yalin had guessed, Tsunade had already met Dango, learned of the existence of the cute troop, and understood Li Yalin's earlier intentions.

"What kind of a solution is this? Are you expecting Your Majesty to work for the benefit of others? Simply absurd," the new emperor said, growing increasingly disappointed, having thought it was some sort of groundbreaking innovation.

They had originally believed that this war would not affect Yushui County, but now they suddenly realized that their very lives and fortunes could be threatened at any moment.

"As long as you're alright, Your Highness, please come inside for tea!" Lan Lie was well aware that Qianqian was being quite discourteous right now.

"My Lord Chancellor, whatever difficulties Madam has, if Wu Song can share the burden, there is nothing I will not do!" Wu Song stood up and bowed.

The dark, imposing mass of troops moved at the command, rolling forward across the boundless wilderness like a surging torrent.

Even so, she was determined to fight for it. Just as she had once risen from a maidservant to become the Second Mistress of the Long family, she firmly believed that her fate remained in her own hands.

Seeing this, Lan Lianxia's heart was flooded with a sense of loss, heavy and suffocating. Ouyang Yi, do you not care about me at all?

"Zhou Lizhu wants to set you up with a boyfriend! By her... Zhou Lizhu!" That was nothing short of a huge joke.

"Your Majesty is wise." Shen Liancheng had no idea how it was that she had clearly come to persuade the Son of Heaven, yet in the end, it had turned into the Son of Heaven pitying and comforting her for her "forbearance"?

Such a palace possessed no other decorations, no superfluous carved beams or painted rafters. Flowers bloomed here and there, trees flourished in solitary branches, sparse yet possessed of a profound, heavy weight.

Facing the discordant scenes and fragmented loyalties among the many factions within the Demon Emperor's Castle, the skeleton felt mentally and physically exhausted, naturally causing her thoughts to turn to this second-in-command who combined both beauty and wisdom.

A squad of armored soldiers carrying torches ran over and locked eyes with the middle-aged man sitting inside the main gate.

No matter how much she detested the Yu family, Huang Shangshan, possessing a fine upbringing, could never bring herself to gossip behind people's backs.

Just as Seryozha was planning to find an opportunity to go to Switzerland and reunite with his family, he suddenly received a phone call from the Kremlin late one night.

"Mills!" Hearing that familiar surname, Bridget felt her thighs tremble slightly.

"For the reborn Troll Empire, I can tolerate fighting side by side with scum like you!" Sen'jin retorted bluntly.

Moreover, if one listened closely, the sounds of battle echoed from all directions! Yao Ran was startled. He had originally thought that the internal conflicts among his family's few slaves were merely petty disputes involving arguments and scuffles, and he had never connected all these things together.

Yao Ran was extremely satisfied with all of this, and even instructed Yao Gutou to construct a bridge made entirely of steel, purely out of metallic materials, and then coat it with paint to ensure it would not rust for a century. Finally, he wanted to allow steam locomotives to pass through such towering mountains.

The noodles possessed an even greater chewiness, and the broth was richer and more savory. Chewing them along with the delicious sauce truly possessed the magical power to make one forget all worries and focus entirely on eating noodles.

Next, Linlei detailed to Arnold and the other two all the information he had heard from the Sovereign of Death.

Even at this moment, Chu Qingtian had no intention of using his protective true essence to shield himself. In the Great Xia Dynasty, who would dare to strike a Censorate Imperial Inspector?

The resident veteran physician thought his employer was about to change and that he would have to find another place to work, but to his surprise, the new master not only wished to keep him on but also offered a higher salary than before. Naturally, he nodded in agreement.

A moment later, the three of them rushed to the front courtyard of the Second Prince's estate. From afar, Luo Feng saw that the gates of the Second Prince's estate had been completely shattered, a large section of the courtyard wall had collapsed, and two factions were confronting each other aggressively. The group on Luo Feng's side consisted of experts from the Second Prince's estate, while the other side was the Water Cloud Army acting under the Crown Prince's orders.

Both of them were seated. If an outsider were to witness this scene, their jaw would undoubtedly drop in astonishment.

At this instant, missing a blade, the three of them froze in place. This was a face they would never forget even if they died. At the same time, the three of them involuntarily shivered, for they saw murderous intent and chilling coldness in Chu Meng's expression.

The blade and the voice arrived together, heading straight for Liu Yu's head. If Liu Yu did not withdraw his spear to parry, even if he managed to impale Sun Ce, he himself would likely be killed by Xu Sheng. Therefore, Liu Yu hastily retracted his spear to block Xu Sheng's blade.

Jiang Junhao directly used his mobile phone to call Zheng Yunhao back. After returning to South Korea, the two had only spoken on the phone and had not yet met in person. Before long, someone answered on the other end.

Today, the Millennium Sea was no longer calm; faint ripples had formed. These ripples were light, but they were truly rolling backward.

"Lingyun Sword, Fatal Strike!" Ling Zhixiang suddenly shouted loudly. At the same time, the energy in his hand surged to its peak, and a sword qi soared into the air.

In the hearts of ordinary commoners, they might not know who the three guardian martial saints were, but they certainly knew Kong Yan.

Only to see He Zhengsong, who stood fully three zhang tall, heavily stamp his foot on the ground, his body likewise soaring into the air.
