Volume One, Chapter 28: Storms Over Chang'an

Lou Hongling was taken aback.
"Your Majesty, why would you think that?"
"Are you saying you intend to follow me everywhere, Princess?" A strange smile bloomed on Princess Taiping’s face.
"President, please give me your orders." In truth, Leng Ran had already guessed what Rong Xiaoyu was going to ask.
Chen Shaoming did not look up and replied offhandedly, "That will be fine." Once he had confirmed the items, he noticed the receptionist was still standing before him. "Er... is there anything else?" he asked curiously.
"Thud!" A bridge was extended from the side of the ship, and soldiers began to swarm across in a steady stream.
"Ice Seal!" Wang Linfeng, Naitang, and Xu Huiqiong shouted in unison, unleashing a combined ice-water spell. A vast expanse of the turbulent sea was instantly frozen solid; even if the yellow light were to sneak around, it could no longer move without leaving a trace.
"One of that old man's subordinates stole this designer's work and claimed it as their own. I happened to stumble upon it while dealing with Takeo Todo, so I helped her resolve the matter," Ouyang Duo said, briefly recounting how they had met.
"Yu, my foot really hurts so much. If you don't come with me, I'll die of pain!" Tengtang Chaxiang refused to let Rong Xiaoyu go, pulling on his hand and deliberately pressing herself against him.
"Enough! They can't understand a word you're shouting. Save your energy to freeze them, and we'll just go around," everyone said, their faces contorted with exasperation and brows furrowed as they watched the wild girl acting out.
Before long, those two faint blue lights began to slowly pull his hand toward his own chest.
Suddenly, the blade Qin Guangxu had kept hidden behind his back appeared, striking the sword from Beiming Yu’s hand before thrusting straight toward his chest.
Zhang Ning immediately contacted Early Autumn Warm Sun and Zhou Mengyun, asking them to lend him all the resources they had on hand.
"Equipment can be dismantled?" This was the first time Zhang Ning had heard of such a thing. It seemed he knew too few blacksmiths.
Seeing that only the bow had been brought without any arrows, Brother Jiu smiled and asked City Lord Xiang, "City Lord Xiang, does this divine bow not have any arrows? How is one supposed to go into battle and kill the enemy with this?"
As they charged into the Forbidden Zone, the suction force suddenly intensified, pulling them in completely.
Xiao Jingchen’s words caught Gu Nian off guard; she widened her eyes, struck dumb. While she was stunned, he pulled her other hand down and gripped it around a certain part, eliciting an instantly enchanting sound.
Old Zheng let out a roar, charged forward with his short sword, his bloodshot eyes burning with fury. Without a moment’s hesitation, he thrust the blade toward Zhang Yidu, his strike swift and merciless.
The Royal Knight Mercenary Group was ranked fifth in the Black Ink Forest. Its leader, Qin Haojing, possessed the strength of a Five-Finger Initiate, and his Phantom Swordsmanship was truly terrifying and unforgettable.
Liu Shi dragged Lin Xue backward, his left hand pressing firmly against her bleeding throat. Even now, Lin Xue had yet to wake up. It should have been the peak of physical pain; what was keeping her in such a living-dead state? And Zuo Linlin—was she in the same condition?
The photo captured him entering a European-style villa; he hadn't stepped out for an entire day.
No, even so, I know that deep down in his heart, he still cares for me. Otherwise, why would he have reached out to steady me? I consoled myself.
