Chapter 45: Currying Favor

As she cooked, she constantly sought advice from the head chef in the kitchen.

Although her culinary skills were still far from perfect, the food was at least barely edible.

After a great deal of effort, Xie Xinrong finally succeeded in preparing a few dishes. While the flavors were not quite enough to make one's mouth water, they were at least palatable.

Wiping the sweat from her brow with a trace of pride, she finally completed this...

The label indicated a suit, and Ximen Kuang also learned from the information that this was the primary style of clothing on Earth.

If the inferior strategy would not work, and the superior strategy was not yet the right move, does that mean only the middle strategy remained?

"So that's how it is! No wonder I flew for six days and six nights and still couldn't see the end of it," Chen Feng said suddenly, a wave of realization washing over him.

Meanwhile, on the ninth floor of the Pagoda of Breaking Dao, about five minutes had passed. This time, Reinfurt and his two companions were unable to quickly decipher the secret runes; instead, they fell into deep contemplation.

He believed that at the very peak of Primordial Mountain, there must be the spiritual herbs he desired. Otherwise, it would not have attracted so many prehistoric fierce beasts, all of which ultimately met their deaths there.

"He won't be able to last much longer! His true qi is about to run out!" Ma Chengpeng perceived the situation and shouted to Wuxuang.

Nowadays, starships equipped with missiles were mostly using them for interception. In duels between starships, the firepower operated at the speed of light, leaving virtually no possibility of evasion.

Ximen Kuang was truly facing a grim fate, especially considering the immense temptation presented by the position of a branch master.

Xiang Yu and Xue Dingshan each led a force of ten thousand men, advancing at full speed into the Heavenly Gate Formation to rescue Xue Rengui.

Author's Note: Recently, my area has been hit by torrential rain for a full week, which damaged the power lines and caused my roof to leak. My computer was almost ruined by the water, and it took some time to get it repaired. Please forgive the delayed update.

"Alright, thank you." Liu Zhida did not deliberately hide his emotions; a broad smile bloomed on his face. He patted Xinhai's shoulder and headed toward the water fountain.

Chen Xiang smiled. She was not a scheming person, especially when she was with me—her joy and displeasure were plainly written on her face, and she was very easily satisfied.

After packing up, the sky had grown dark. Hu Man and Wu Zhanggang had just gone to a restaurant to plan on having dinner when they saw Yuan An, Su Liqiu, and Su Jia arrive as well.

He spoke slowly, his voice very calm. In truth, the more it was like this, the more it proved that there was simply no way to salvage the situation.

Ning Zhiyun returned to Jiangnan by water the next day. Before leaving, he had someone deliver a birthday gift to Lu Junzhu's estate, asking Lu Junzhu to hand it over to Manman. It was only because of this birthday gift that everyone suddenly remembered Manman's birthday was approaching.

Seeing that Feng Fenghuang completely ignored him and didn't even spare him a glance, Li Yougu's expression shifted again and again.

At this point, the person speaking fell silent. Mo Ruyang glanced toward the low wall and saw a man in a blue robe being pinned against it.

"Slip of the tongue, I meant Fang Huibo." Cao Yujiao knew that since Chen Niannian had not permitted this matter to be spoken of, she would not prematurely reveal too much.

The wind on the top floor was fierce. Only yesterday, this place had been covered in lush green grass, with champagne roses exuding a mesmerizing fragrance—everything had been so perfect.

The five figures drew closer and suddenly scattered, five sabers slashing toward Su Chi simultaneously from all directions. Undismayed despite the shock, Su Chi lunged toward one of the men in black, hoping to defeat a single opponent first and break their formation.

The generals of the Prince of Minnan's Mansion and the Duke of Su's Mansion had just opened their mouths to speak when the gathered officers scattered in all directions, dashing back toward their respective military arrays.

Just as he turned around and before he could escape, Blood Sickle wore a ferocious grin, holding a talisman in each hand. Sticking out his tongue, he revealed the wild expression of a demolition fanatic. Relying on his speed advantage, he slapped the two talismans directly onto Ye Zi.
