Book One, Chapter 29: Winning Over the Ice Queen

In the future, China is bound to see rapid progress and significant improvements in its industrial sector, particularly in military manufacturing. One can only imagine the sheer, terrifying power an explosion would possess if China were to successfully refine nuclear material—a prospect that is as unimaginable as it is horrifying.

This experiment left Li Lin deeply shocked, yet incredibly excited. With these five hundred men at his disposal, what great undertaking could he not achieve?

"It is precisely because the Minister of the Ministry of War has always been so loyal that he should be treated this way..." Others immediately echoed Matsu Arinori’s sentiment, speaking out for Doi Munesan.

At this moment, Hizashi, Hiashi, and several other Hyuga main-branch ninjas who had accompanied the troops into battle arrived ahead of them.

"Monster, monster!!" A Cloud ninja wailed in terror, clutching his severed arm, crawling desperately away.

Taking the opportunity of visiting the old man Zhang Wenhai in the mountains, Old Jiang also invited Zhang Chen to consult with him regarding internal energy, hoping that Zhang Chen could help cultivate a few experts in this field for the Second Political Bureau.

The rhythmic "thud, thud" of footsteps caused Li Siye and Gao Zhandao to rise simultaneously. The former was filled with excitement, while the latter was tense. Who else but the highest leader of this office would dare run so recklessly through the prefectural government building?

The shorter thief, unable to fend for himself, had no time to help the taller one extinguish the flames. Writhing in the stinging pain of the fire, the taller thief could not help but wail.

However, Chen Zhi’s philosophy was that once you strike, you do so with full force. Upon unleashing the Nine Yin Bone-Corroding Bag, he immediately formed seals with both hands, casting ten bolts of heavenly thunder. Four were directed at the tall and fat cultivators, while the remaining six struck the six remaining demonic corpses.

Yuan Jie finished his breakfast, served by Lingpin, and then walked out of the courtyard toward the carriage house.

"Die! Die!" Perhaps it was because the Spirit-Channeling Corpse Eye had been forced to shut several times, Gao Shanyue was provoked into a blind, thunderous rage, roaring as he lunged forward with his giant axe swinging wildly.

Although the statues differed in appearance, upon reaching the back of the central deity, they found a hidden snake tail as well.

"Yes, I’ve been to the Liu family dozens of times over the past few years, but I’ve only seen Xiuyu a handful of times, maybe five or six. Every time, we couldn't even exchange a few words before she said she had things to attend to, so I had to leave the items Brother Yang sent and take my leave," Master Zhang nodded.

Shao Yuanchou’s fierce pursuit, teeth gritted in hatred, was clearly an attempt to eliminate a major threat; I naturally harbored the same intent, though I had another motive as well.

After struggling for a while, the two men’s expressions suddenly eased. They leapt up from the ground and joined hands to weave a spell.

Wu Yu offered a sweet smile. "Thanks!" she said, taking the clothes from her hand.

The front of the car and its windows were drenched in blood-red, making it impossible to see the situation outside through the gore.

Qi Tiezui was momentarily dazed. If she had intentionally parted ways with Black Glasses and the Mute under the temple, what was her purpose?

Hearing that school leaders were bringing executives from the Tianhai Group to eat in the cafeteria, he instantly understood—he was just basking in the glow of the school leadership. Still, it was a rare opportunity, so he decided to eat as much as he could; he wouldn't have this privilege again.

The entity in the shadows took a half-step toward him, allowing the faint light to fall upon it, causing the auspex’s imaging to shift into a blinding deep red.

"If we cannot cultivate, what will become of our descendants?" an alien cultivator cried out in shock.

Huo Yun'er stood on the bed like a madwoman, jumping up and down. The IV drip was ripped from her wrist, blood seeping out, and blood also began to stain her chest.

Liu Qingyan did not understand what she was doing. Baili Yunrou beckoned a maid to her side and whispered something into her ear.

Mo Yun was fine; his physical body was incredibly strong, and under the suppression of his vital energy, he quickly returned to normal. However, this was a hardship for Lu Xiaoyan and Xu Qiantong. Although they could temporarily suppress the turbulent blood with spiritual energy, it was not a long-term solution.

He smiled bitterly and nodded. Things had reached this point, and there was no other way; he would have to squeeze out a spot. At worst, he would take the student on himself. After all, it was his good fortune to encounter such a monstrously talented disciple.

After a day of working up a sweat, Lu Yaoyao hadn't found a single job. She lowered her head in frustration. Was she really that incompetent?

"No need. I have enough money to get a luxury suite at a four-star hotel and have a seafood feast," Qu Sen said very earnestly after making up his mind.

If these words from Lu Tian were to spread outside, the entire Fox Clan would be suppressed and perhaps even shunned.

With the calming incense now on the auction block, the two were naturally more concerned with the final price it would fetch; they no longer cared about the piece of junk Mei Mengzhen had bought for 250.

Drug trafficking was easier to handle; there were only one or two syndicates in a city, and one could always find the source by following the trail.

Sarah closed her eyes, as if resigning herself to her fate, and spoke with great composure, then began to grope the floor lightly.

After all, Jiang Cheng was her boyfriend, and they hadn't broken up yet. Even if she were angry, she maintained a neutral stance to get to the bottom of the situation.

Although the Xiao family’s constraints on Xiao Cheng were now minimal—the trip to the Northwest had proven that the Xiao family no longer viewed him as an ignorant youth—nagging was always inevitable.

Meditation is a practice of cultivating the mind, similar to Zen, yoga, and qigong, which have been widely applied in many spiritual and health-cultivating courses, with their effects proven by modern science.

He practiced the Phantom Heart Secret Canon; his attacks carried an illusionary quality that could confuse and intimidate his enemies.

He placed his hopes on Auntie Lin, praying she was as resourceful as she claimed, and that she could mobilize the entire Chinatown community through her "Sunset Red" elderly women's group to track down the whereabouts of those dangerous Japanese individuals.

At the same time, just as Su Fan was about to try and get some extra sleep, heavy footsteps sounded outside the door.
