Volume 1, Chapter 49: Never Seen Such a Destitute Young Marshal

Qu Pan walked to the front hall and happened to see Chu Hanliang and Huo Runduo wrestling for a gun. She picked up Chu Xiaoman and hid behind a pillar to the side.

Huo Runduo? ? ?

Chu Hanliang! ! !

Chu Xiaoman asked, "Mom, why are we hiding?"

Qu Pan replied, "Be quiet, careful of stray bullets."

Chu Hanliang patted Huo Runduo on the shoulder. "You are you, and Huo Zhanxiong is Huo Zhanxiong. Don't lump them together."

Huo Runduo sneered, "Who was it just said, 'Earlier you couldn't figure out who helped Liu Zhen go abroad to study Western medicine and join the Fuxian Hospital, but now you seem so dead sure'..."

It is not only women who like to hold onto past faults; men do too. Chu Hanliang rubbed his temples.

"What I was questioning is your ability..."

As he said this, Alonso withdrew his gaze from Zhang Yifei. Prost is not the only one with Zhang Yifei; there is also me, Alonso.

"Alright, why are you trying to scare him?" Ling Er sighed involuntarily. Growing up really made things much less fun; the eldest sister had grown more complicated, making things rather uncomfortable for him.

Just like that, the competition ended with no casualties on either side, and the Wind-Blessed Empire achieved victory. If anyone felt gloomy, it was only the people of the Flower Spirit Empire. They had tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used as bait, gaining not much intelligence while offending two major empires.

Looking at it this way, it didn't really seem like you had overthought everything while nothing had actually happened at all.

Han Ningbing turned a corner, and the scene before him made him instantly vomit. In front of him was a large pool of blood, with the hilt of a sword protruding from its center. The Ghost King had stopped speaking ever since approaching this place, seemingly deep in thought.

Who would have thought that thick glob of phlegm was extremely bizarre? Mid-air, it suddenly took a turn and shot toward Tang Yun from the side.

Now that the future direction had been determined, the next step was to prepare for challenging miracles.

These trusted subordinates of his were all qualified military talents. Each of them commanding a camp of troops and serving as colonels would be entirely fitting. As for the positions of military Sima and military commanders, they were well within his grasp.

This was what he found curious. The two had clearly been at odds before; reconciliation seemed possible, after all, since there was no deep-seated hatred between them.

He walked into his room, and the bag he had brought back rested securely under the bed. The eldest sister had not rummaged through it. He sighed, feeling a slight sting in his nose.

The Beautiful Poison Butterfly stared with bitter hatred at the spot where Lin Feng had vanished. A streak of light flashed across, and shattered stones exploded everywhere, but there was no trace of Lin Feng.

Never had someone been so happy about having their corpse beaten; it was simply insane. Yet such thoughts could only dare be entertained in one's heart, with no courage whatsoever to speak them aloud. Fang Hui guaranteed that if those words were ever uttered, he would surely be dragged away by the hidden figure nearby and subjected to a profound rebirth.

My gaze grew sharp, but Jiang Ciwen stubbornly refused to let go. I still wanted to speak, but he suddenly kissed me, kissing me forcefully as if carrying all his grievances and a fierce impulse to devour me whole.

It wasn't until she heard gossip about herself—or rather, to be precise, about Chen Fangping—that Xixia listened with even greater relish. However, the more she listened to the latter part, the uglier her expression became.

"How do you know I won't be able to find them?" Zhang Taibai smiled slightly, revealing the upper and lower rows of his white teeth.

When Zhang Taibai arrived at the meeting room, the higher-ups of the 'News Agency' were indeed already waiting for him.

Ancient One had served as the Guardian of Earth for countless years, so she must have had plenty of dealings with the Nine Realms and Asgard. One could easily guess that she certainly knew quite a few methods or paths for traveling to other realms.

Before the exclusive interview, the security guard remained at the doorway. Lu Li still wanted to hit me a second time with a chair, but before he could swing it, he was subdued by the security guards.

This scene made Hua Tianqing chuckle inwardly, and even Isabella and Stanley almost failed to hold back and burst out laughing.

Tian Tian understood her words and slowly nodded. "Fine, I understand. Heyan, the two of us have known each other for over ten years. Regardless of how things were in the past, from now on, let's treat each other as strangers." With a cold expression, she grabbed her clutch and walked out.

Like the first two police officers, they entered the living room holding pistols. The scene before them filled them with utter shock—it looked like a battlefield that had just been struck by artillery shells. Huge dents were smashed into two of the walls, and three corpses lay on the ground, two of which were precisely their colleagues.

Ding Guoguo had stayed among the Snow Clan for nearly a year, treating the Snow Clan people for illnesses, and had long since grown familiar with them. Although usually aloof, her pleasant nature won her the affection of everyone in the Snow Clan. Even Dolma no longer disliked her as before; knowing she was about to leave, she walked over holding a wine glass.

At this moment, she finally remembered what the "Old God" had said about leveling up and competition, and she raised her tear-stained head.

"Teacher Huo, let's have a contest to see who catches more!" Su Meng was clearly in a high spirit upon arriving here.

"As the dignified descendant of the Demon Emperor and the Xuanwu Prince, you turn out to be nothing more than this!" Mu Ling's leisurely voice echoed across the Tongtian Mountains, causing the expressions of numerous demon kings to change drastically while the Xuanwu Prince bit her silver teeth in anger.

At this thought, Shu Meng quietly gritted her teeth. Forget it, she had to rely on herself.

"I went to the Daoxiang Pavilion looking for you first, and the proprietor said you were at the Lingyu Workshop. I was wondering why you were over there, but I didn't expect it to have been demolished by now," Feng Qizhen said with a smile.

The dazzling scene appeared once again. Including myself, golden halos of pleasant surprise popped up above the heads of all the players present.

Kang Jian paused for a moment, glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, walked straight to the door, and opened it.

The main reason was that his appearances in public were too few; people mostly heard his name without ever seeing his face.

"Ouch!" Luo Wusheng collided with something eyeless once again, though this time she managed not to land on her bottom. Luo Wusheng pondered inwardly: Why am I so unlucky today? I bumped into someone again. Do people around here have nothing better to do all day than hide in the woods just to bump into people by coincidence?
