Volume 1, Chapter 65: Feeding Fuel to the Fire

Facing her father's question, Yiyi raised her head to look at him, then said in a milky, childish voice: "Grandpa said the Emperor's intention is not to continue yielding to the other side anymore. Because yielding for five consecutive years has only made them more aggressive the more they are given. Therefore, the Emperor's plan is to feign compliance at first, but without granting them any benefits. Over the next few months or even a year, we will recuperate and build up our military strength to the fullest. If they dare to invade again in the future, we will directly annihilate these enemies!"

Li Xian raised an eyebrow.

The Empress... has such resolve?

Hearing this, Li Xian even found it somewhat incredible. To take a step back, where on earth would the Great Qian get the strength to face the Qi State or...

Then, Teacher Hu told a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering story of a "beauty saving the hero."

The intricate and complex footwork left Old Ma's eyes spinning, and he was left with only the chance to shout words of encouragement.

Were it not for an accidental outburst of chakra that forced Kushina into the public eye, the identity of the Nine-Tails' jinchuriki would have remained an eternal mystery.

After the waiter finished speaking, Lin Feng handed the Ferrari keys over and walked slowly inside together with Li Shiwei.

However, these indigenous people did not understand how to fold fighter jets at all and could only rely on those British engineers.

Liu Yun was certain that this man was already drunk. She cast an inquiring glance around the room full of people.

In his youth, facing the invading British forces, he was able to lead the border people to drive them away, which clearly showed his deep love for Tengchong.

He deeply sympathized with Boss Xie's helplessness. Yet sometimes, a pet owner has to choose between human beings and dogs. In pet-raising, he always insisted on a human-oriented approach; whether raising or training, human beings must be put first—that was the correct attitude.

Pei Zixing looked at the crown prince before her. It was just as she had guessed: a man like this wore all his schemes right out in the open, and taking control of him would be as easy as turning over her hand. Thus, she felt no fear and directly spoke to him.

"Captain Wu, you're here. These barbarians have been completely surrounded! There's no way we can let them off this time no matter what!" Seeing Captain Wu appear, Song Fang immediately realized that the nearly fifty thousand Song soldiers he led had also arrived, and he said jubilantly.

And after Cash easily knocked everyone down, that demon Mary strolled out of the barrier in a leisurely manner.

With a wave of his hand, a five-thousand-Galaxy-Coin banknote appeared on the stone platform. Then, without waiting for the guide to authenticate its value, he waved his hand again and swept all the items into his spatial ring.

Zhu Tianpeng and Zhu Yuqian frowned deeply. If the three of them were to take separate paths, they would naturally have to make their own choices.

"What Sect Master Tian said is right. Martial arts tournaments are meant for exchanging skills, not for life-and-death struggles. You must never resort to such despicable tactics just for the sake of rankings." The elderly man who had previously responded to Tian Xueyang spoke once again.

Meanwhile, at the Chu army's central camp, the distant flames instantly awakened the soldiers. One by one, disheveled and clutching their weapons, they rushed out of their tents. When Xiang Tianfeng frowned as he looked in the direction of the fire, his expression sank slightly, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

More than four hundred years ago, the statue of the Tianhai Emperor Bailong was destroyed, and in its place stands the giant statue of the Tianhai Nine-Headed Dragon with its nine sea-dragon heads.

Well, lately I've been practicing driving and am very busy. There are also many things to take care of at home, which is why I haven't been able to update normally.

Hearing this, Hall Master Cheng looked toward that pile of rubble, where a stone emitting dark light and shaped like a hammer had now appeared. Only, the stone looked thoroughly shattered and ragged, making it completely impossible to discern any definite shape at all.

After successively using two abilities, Shea slightly regulated her breathing. Activating two advanced abilities in a row meant she couldn't possibly remain unaffected. Meanwhile, the many demon hunters outside the arena had long fallen silent, intently watching the match.

"That should be it." Luo Chengjun thought it possible, and looked at the white-robed scholar not far away, who was graceful, elegant, and refined.

Subsequently, she piled up stones to build a stove, placed firewood beneath it, and watched as a wisp of flame rose, eventually turning into a moderate fire.

Sun Yu rolled his eyes; this Leader Feng held quite a high position and was undoubtedly one of the premier figures among the palace eunuchs.

Facing the sharp gazes of the two, Yang Jian instantly felt his head swell as huge as a bushel, his face stiff as he didn't know where to begin.

She had originally intended to mind her own business, but since the disciple Li Xin was a friend of Su Ruoqing, she casually dropped a hint.

Just as the Impure Blades were about to pierce Bi Xuan, suddenly, a force blocked the Impure Blades and deflected them away.

Seeing that, Hongxin absorbed the wisps of immortal grass essence entirely into her body. Instantly, spiritual energy surged around her, and the Heavenly Eye between her brows slowly opened, radiating intense energy fluctuations—clearly showing a faint sign of a breakthrough.

This time, Shengxue had nowhere to dodge and was forced to take the Sudden Glance Arrow head-on with her Heavenly Feather Slash. At the moment of impact, Shengxue was sent flying directly by the shockwave.

Regardless of the fact that Ye Tianzong was currently a first-rank military general of the Great Zhou Empire, holding the high-ranking office of General of Chariots and Cavalry, possessing formidable strength and holding great military power—even if Ye Tianzong were to become the Emperor of Great Zhou, the master of a nation with thousands of troops at his command, and his martial arts cultivation reached the ninth star of the Martial King realm—Ye Ping'an would still never let him go.

Her eyes darted between the back window and the door. She pulled the door open, crouched down to peer outside, and then quickly shut it again.

"This is trouble. I bet the people upstairs had no idea he possessed this replica. If they had known, they wouldn't have just sent the two of us down here without giving us any divine weapons," the long-faced man analyzed.

Gu Xi walked toward the association counter and picked up a pair of black chunky-heeled shoes. Su Unshuang took one look and found them rather to her liking; regardless of whether they were chunky or thin heels, she took the shoes directly, sat down on a nearby stool, and began putting them on.

"But..." Even though the old woman said so, how could Maya not know the old woman's current condition?

"Sister Mochi, you called me here. Is there something the matter?" Ye Moxing fixed her gaze on Mochi and asked.

Because his complexion was an ashen gray, as if he had already melted into the desolate, misty chill—his nose had blended into the fog, and his mouth had melted into the fog.

"Surely Your Excellency the Viceroy does not know that the Emperor has already handed the matter of settling accounts with the eunuch faction over to Lord Han, right?" Fan Yongdou threatened once more.

Why pause? There were two reasons: first, he had not yet fully understood the functions of the spiritual stones. In fact, apart from instantly replenishing the stone ring's energy points, he had never performed any other operations with them at all.

As for the pears, they grew naturally on the trees, and people would come to ask for the price, picking them off the tree themselves. From start to finish, they didn't have to expend an ounce of effort or offer the slightest help.

Naturally, Chi Zao had no objections and reported her home address to him. Yi Zhen directly bought the nearest high-speed rail ticket and came over.

That night, in City C, Tang Nuo walked along the park embankment. Along the way, she met an elderly man strolling with a birdcage, yet she no longer retained her daytime calm and gentleness. Illuminated by the streetlights, the contours of her brows and eyes revealed a distinct coldness no matter how one looked at them.
