Chapter 125: I Have Something Even Better

She had already offered to treat Ruan Mianmian to a meal at Yue Garden and even admitted her own faults, yet Ruan Mianmian still refused to agree. What else could she possibly do?

Father Xu furrowed his brows, his tone stern: "If she refuses to see you, can't you think of other ways? Where has all your usual cleverness gone? Regardless of what it takes, you must get this done for me!"

Xu Huan complained bitterly in her heart, yet dared not retort, only mumbling under her breath, "What other way is there? She is currently..."

Hearing these words, Ling Yunwu and Guo Zhen looked at Yang Yi almost simultaneously, roaring at him with flushed faces.

The instant this fellow finished his sentence, the door to the conference room was kicked open with a bang. Everyone in the room was stunned; even Wei Zhen failed to react in time.

Ye Fei could tell that Fugui also understood in his heart that once Li Fengchao let go, Elder Zuo likely did not have much time left.

Wuwei was not a prosperous place. Located north of the Shu region beyond the Wu Pass, it was administratively part of Shu, but in reality, it had no natural defenses. The Shu Marquis’s troops were stationed primarily at the Wu Pass, so the area had long been occupied by the Duke of Jin.

Bai Xue had never been stared at by a rabbit like this before. Although it was merely a carving, in his heart, he felt it was a living creature, and perhaps a rabbit was truly sealed inside.

Malusha walked through the city of Xun under the cover of night. Unlike other places, the people here were neither so numb that they lacked all hope, nor were they like the rest of the Shu people, tightening their belts for the sake of war and working themselves like beasts until they dropped dead from exhaustion.

It is easy to imagine how shocked Emperor Taizong must have been. He suspected the traitor had to be either Zhu Suiliang or Yin Kaishan; it could never have been Wei Zheng.

The biologist said solemnly, "Even if you say that, I cannot give you a definitive answer."

The demon-men picked up their guns again and unleashed a volley of fire. The bullets easily pierced the skulls of the deinonychus, and one by one, the creatures collapsed.

Song Lingyun remarked, "That is precisely the problem. Who told you she was loyal? When you were opposing Yan Shunhua of the Kunlun Golden Sword, didn't you find it a bit strange?"

Someone gritted their teeth, deciding that for such a treasure, it was worth offending Lin Feng, even if it meant never stepping foot on Lin family territory again.

"Haha, that's great!" Seeing that Ma Jianyao had agreed, Ye Qiang appeared overjoyed, dancing with excitement. For anyone, having a powerful partner naturally increased the chances of survival in the realm.

After saying this, Huo Yan’s pretty face could not help but turn red, clearly thinking back to the nonsensical things Huo Shan had said earlier.

Crouched beneath the protruding rock, the bloodstains on Mo Li’s body had already been masked by the effects of the pill she had ingested. She pulled out some gold-trauma medicine from her waist to apply to A-Hei’s injured skull, successfully staunching the bleeding.

"The same as mine?" Ye Tian pointed to his own nose and asked, bewildered. How could it possibly be the same as his?

"You're courting death!" Song Ziyang's words pierced into the young man’s heart like a needle. His expression shifted abruptly, and his body darted toward Song Ziyang like a lightning-fast serpent, a cold, icy blade cleaving down toward Song Ziyang’s head.

Jia Wu, Zheng Fei, and the others looked at each other in dismay, unable to believe their eyes. They had never heard of anyone capable of refining someone else’s martial arts, especially when those techniques belonged to a fighter of a higher rank than themselves.

"This guy is the Fire Shadow, and his combat power is terrifyingly high. He’s a brother through and through!" Ye Tian’s introduction of the Fire Shadow was far simpler.

Li Xu was already feeling dizzy. It turned out that the people he had gathered were merely completing some task unconsciously! Thinking of this, the sense of accomplishment he had felt deep in his heart vanished instantly. In its place, Li Xu felt a sense of loss and desolation, having lost all motivation.
