Chapter 49 Everyone in the Prime World is an Overthinker

Xi Yongde and Xi Yongyu exchanged glances, both wearing awkward expressions. They ordered the servants to clear away the bowls and dishes, and then dumped the contents of the cloth bag onto the table with a clatter.

Seeing the other person wearing those red high heels, with those long, slender legs, she looked particularly alluring.

Every order of mine must be resolutely carried out by you. If the battlefield is chaotic and you cannot receive new orders for the time being, you must rally around the banner of your own phalanx, defend your position, and keep fighting.

Eunuch Zhang had witnessed too much fickle life and death recently. His heart was filled with grief, yet he was trapped in this chaotic situation, unable to protect himself.

He advanced in the flush of victory and easily captured the pass of Pontus at Silesia. The Pontic general garrisoning the place was Inimmichus, who occupied the high ground with a heavy force of 7,000 men.

Heaven is determined to destroy me, yet I insist on defying the heavens! Han Yuan was instantly overcome by this mindset. Fortunately, however, when he unrolled the Heavenly Bone Scroll, he realized he had merely played a joke on himself.

"Is this golden silkworm silk?" Zhao Qiankun stroked the fabric, feeling that it was quite similar to the Immortal-Binding Rope the Prince of Zhenxi had used to tie him up.

"Just like that?" Lin Fan found it somewhat inconceivable. Having made such a massive fuss and mobilized so many resources, it turned out to be nothing more than an inspection in the end. No matter how he looked at it, there was a profound sense of incongruity.

Hu Jinyu's gaze turned stern and cold. He arbitrarily cut off Hu Yanzhao's words, his eyes falling on Xie Luobai with a scrutinizing look.

Although Kirito did not suffer any physical injury, his clothes were tattered, and the gaps being eroded by the high temperature could be clearly seen.

Qian Rong turned a blind eye to this and continued walking forward while pulling Fang Shaoyuan along. His attitude made Hou Zhide's expression extremely unsightly.

"You..." Yang Tian was so furious that his eyes widened in rage, staring with his charming peach-blossom eyes opened to their fullest! Pointing at Chang Sheng, he wanted to refute him.

Qiu Xuan chuckled and said, "I've only been back a few days, and hearing that there was trouble at the border, I came to take a look." Not having seen him for several years, Qiu Xuan found that the Sword Saint had aged a great deal, presumably due to his advanced age. Qiu Xuan sighed inwardly: if the Sword Saint failed to break through to the Ninth Heaven realm, he probably didn't have many years left to live.

He had witnessed the efforts of Sweeping the Mortal World and Dual Blades Across the World, and he had already received their hopes.

When watching dramas, he had thought it looked quite cool, but once it actually happened to him, he realized that such a decision was a tremendous form of mental torture.

"What is returning them to you now?" Illusion's other hand crackled with blue-and-white electricity—lightning he had just absorbed from Misaka Mikoto. Now, under Illusion's control, it surged toward her.

Su Nian'an reached out to stroke his cheek. The smooth and fair skin made her reluctant to pull her hand away.

Tohsaka Rin watched as his motion froze right at the moment of opening the door. Following his astonished gaze, she looked back at Misaka, wearing a look of utter disgust as she smiled at him.

"Hmph." Mo Qian sneered inwardly. Heard about the Wuqiang affair and rushed all the way here specially from Jiangnan Dao? You must know that Jiangnan Dao was several thousand miles away from here; even an eight-hundred-li urgent courier would take several days, and an ordinary person would need at least half a month's journey just to arrive.

Taking advantage of this moment, Li Dashuang spoke with Liu Yun about the situation at home while pulling Liu Yun's hand, tapping out a password on his palm.

The dragon veins that pierced through heaven and earth enveloped it, and endless, pure spiritual energy poured frantically into the withered Yellow Sky Grotto-heaven.

Their heritage in the mortal world had long been severed, and even if they returned to the Nine Provinces, they would have no external support to rely on.

"Mom! I'm heading out!" Palace Qianqian changed into a pretty outfit, ready to step out.

The two pondered over it extensively but could not come up with any logical explanation, so they decided to attend the banquet that evening to see what Feng Shao was really up to.

Watching Jian Yu's actions from the side, Lan Qingxuan felt a slight urge to smile. Those shady, underhanded dealings in the inner courtyards were, when all was said and done, never fit to be shown in public. Yet when met with someone like Jian Yu who handled things this way, none of those schemes could be of any use.

Just as Venerable Tianhuo sank into despair, an extremely calm yet quite familiar voice sounded beside his ear.

Therefore, the men of the 32nd Division in Qianshan, located two hundred kilometers from Jiujiang, would not recognize this operations staff officer.

If it were the Tian Wenqiu of the past, she would have maintained her demeanor as a young lady of a prominent family and wouldn't have stooped to his level. However, her trip south had a profound impact on her, and she felt there was no need to be polite to arrogant and ill-mannered people.

Perhaps the only difference was that ever since that day, guests at Li Hao's residence had increased, among whom were members of the anti-Dong coalition as well as people from Dong Zhuo's faction.

"No need to argue. At a time like this, it is naturally up to me, this great light-attribute mage, to guide you all," Liko stepped forward and declared.

The representative of the American Empire continued, "Respected Commander Wang, the purpose of our coming this time is to demand an explanation from you in Huaxia. Previously, why did your Vanguard forces provide military weapons and equipment to the Japanese army, causing the American Empire to suffer massive losses?"

At his command, the special operations team members retrieved objects about ten centimeters long from their backpacks and attached them to the muzzles of their submachine guns. These were the silencers specially developed by the Vanguard Research Institute over the past few years, making them an absolute match for the special operations forces.

"Xie Tian, rest assured, I will definitely find a way to save your Xie family!" Hearing Xiao Shan's words, Xie Tian nodded, trust shining in his eyes. Then, Xiao Shan turned to look at Wang Yaqiao.

Blue Fire Lotus said, "This is my family's private business; is it any of your concern? Hey, I'm scolding someone else's wife, what the hell does it have to do with you?"

"Cough!" At merely a sound resembling a cough, those guards instantly fell silent, just like roosters being choked by the neck.

"That's fine, that's fine! I just wanted to let President Xu know that grassroots employees like us also have the determination and desire to make greater contributions to the enterprise!" Sister Fang beamed with joy.

"Um... Future, can I ask you a favor?" Ellie grew a bit shy.

The Gale Spirit Cat easily dodged Hanyu's attack, looking not at all like it was dealing with an enemy, but rather as if it were playing happily.

He finally set his mind at ease regarding him. He even permitted him to venture deeper into the Monster Forest. He knew his strength was formidable and the sky was vast. He was the most likely candidate to become the next Wolf King. For a long time, the Wolf King had even taken pride in him.
