Chapter 58: Jiang Bai Saves the Day

"Not too good," Jiang Bai said, skewering the wild rabbit and setting it over the fire. "It's completely dark now, and it looks like it's going to rain soon. We'll have to spend the night here."

Before long, the savory aroma of wild rabbit meat and mushrooms began to drift through the air. Duan Jing portioned out the roasted food and handed it to Jiang Bai, and the two ate in silence. Although there wasn't much food, it tasted remarkably delicious.

After finishing their meal, Duan Jing leaned against the cave wall, gazing abstractly into the campfire.

A trace of resolute determination surfaced at the corners of Luo Qingyue's lips. "I can live without a heartbeat, but if I were to lose Luoyu just like this, I cannot go on living."

Therefore, he had to test the waters. Based on the information revealed by the Lone Wolf, he would deduce the situation step by step, devise countermeasures for every move, and catch them red-handed with stolen goods.

That was the only thing he had left of her. He had once been so cruel, causing her to lose their child; he and she could never go back, and he no longer even possessed the qualification to fantasize.

Hisses of derision rang out by his ears. It turned out that the other examinees had not chosen to make a grand entrance at the very end out of a sense of superior strength, but rather because they lacked all confidence. They had drawn their swords in haste; though every strike hit the bullseye, the ironwood was as tough as iron—a wondrous tree unique to Green Hill—and because their force fell short at the end, their blades bounced off the ironwood and injured their wrists.

"Mr. Zhongsun Zhifeng's insight is profound. Lawrence admires it. I shall summon the men back right now to search out the whereabouts of the Ghost Wolf's main force with our full strength," Lawrence said happily. He felt that with the correct approach and the formidable might of the three-mercenary-joint force, wiping out the Ghost Wolf would not be a particularly difficult task.

Ziyi, Sapling, Ned, Karl, Anna, and Chubby—these already constituted eighty percent of the Ghost Wolf's high-end combat power. Thus, the only things that could pose a threat to them were the corpse beast tide and Xin.

However, upon seeing the filth from the latire smeared across his lapel, his mood, which had finally begun to improve, abruptly plunged to the very bottom.

Once the Grand Empress Conferment Ceremony was over, it would be fine, Murong Che thought. As long as Yun Duoduo officially became his empress, it could be considered a comfort to her, and the spirits of Yun Tian and Yun Er in heaven could rest in peace. He was merely engaging in wishful thinking.

He Yanran glanced around. One was a former Holy Lord, one was a former Lady, one was the current Holy Lord, and one was the Lady. There was not a single one among them that her He Manor could afford to provoke.

Meanwhile, Song Deqing and the others—who had received the usher's report, including Zhang Tiankai and Su Ya—were all walking toward Li Chen. Ning Xin also rose from her seat, evidently having noticed the usher's hurried demeanor and the unusual expressions on Song Deqing and his companions.

"Understood," answered the new recruits, who had never received any military training from the Eighth Route Army, their voices ragged and chaotic.

Upon seeing the large dog standing beside Simba in the distance, One-Eye instantly felt a sense of unreality.

Yet several probes had failed to achieve his desire. Every time a dagger was thrust into the city wall, it would spark a flurry of fire-strikes. If this continued, they would be discovered by nearby patrolling Japanese soldiers, and by then, who knew what kind of danger might ensue?

Right before him had appeared Di Yi, the biological father of Qinglin. How could Qinglin not be shaken by this, how could he not be ecstatic?

When Lin Yixue arrived at the classroom, she found that everyone was looking at her rather strangely. What was going on?

Fan Tong, who was charging upward, suddenly stumbled and stopped in his tracks, only to be yanked backward by a powerful force. Instead of advancing, he was pulled back.

I found a quilt and covered Beard with it, and I also stuffed all five fake ginsengs into Beard's arms. After all, these were blessings sent by the villagers.

Though the earth had collapsed, thunderous echoes still resonated through the air. The massive body of the Shadow Serpent was hurled down, kicking up a sky full of dust.

At that moment, Commander Yang of the First Military Sub-district, having received the order to capture Laiyuan and Lingqiu counties, instructed Lei Jian's Independent Regiment to destroy the Japanese stronghold at Yuanshan. At the same time, he ordered Section Chief Jiang of the reconnaissance department to lead a reconnaissance platoon and secretly scout the deployment of Japanese forces and firepower in Laiyuan and Lingqiu.
