137. How Dare You Try to Steal My Man!

"Who knows? You say we arrived so early, do you think we'll scavenge anything worthwhile? What if there's another explosion?" the second villager asked, looking worried.

Zhang Liao and Xun You continued to retreat under the cover of their soldiers. They had originally intended to break through the encirclement, but under the suppression of the Wu army, let alone breaking out, even self-preservation was difficult, forcing them to fall back step by step.

Luoyu glanced at her mistress, noting that her expression had darkened considerably; she kept her head bowed and her lips pursed, saying nothing. She knew in her heart that the mistress was grieving for her child again.

However, the Prefectural Magistrate was still the head of the office for the time being. Everyone dared not offend him, yet they dared not get too close to him either, as who knew if the new magistrate would label them as the former magistrate’s cronies and settle scores later. Thus, they all paid lip service while acting against him in private.

Laughing and chatting, they arrived at a music-themed restaurant. After parking the car, the two walked inside, their striking appearance immediately drawing the gazes of countless patrons.

He began his secluded cultivation. This time, he remained in seclusion for seven days, restoring himself to his peak state.

Of course, there were also those who suggested that they should stabilize Guanzhong, send troops into Hanzhong, and seize Zhang Lu's territory first.

Scanning the entire leaderboard, besides those few heaven-defying powerhouses, the top twenty were mostly comprised of players who had downgraded but were crushing their opponents through superior attribute advantages.

Thinking this way, Jianxiake suddenly felt that everything was irrational. Feeling bored, he decided to re-examine the whole affair from the beginning.

Since they had agreed, Ye Huancheng distributed the silver he had brought with him to his sisters. It wasn't that Ye Qingcheng and the others lacked money, but as an older brother, he felt he should make a gesture.

Except for her mother, no one had ever looked at her with such affectionate eyes, nor had anyone guided her like this when she was at her most vulnerable and lost.

"You and Third Brother seem to have had quite the falling out? What exactly happened between you?" Last night at the club, Ye Hansheng had kept the private room door closed, so no one knew what had transpired between them.

One could guess what it was about with their eyes closed, so I went to it as if I were heading to the execution ground.

Why did Daddy clearly say at the beginning that I could be with Lan Yuchen, that I could marry him? Why, after only a few days, had everything changed?

***

He then noticed that, at some unknown point, Kakashi Hatake was already holding an identical gold pass.

Lan Yuchen frowned; this matter was not something he could just decide on a whim.

Naonao lay in bed, an IV drip taped to his forehead, his round head wrapped in bandages. The sight was heart-wrenching and deeply distressing.

In the end, I hung on him like I had no bones left. Seeing that I truly had no strength remaining, Ye Hansheng's conscience finally pricked him, and he let me go.

Sakata Gintoki covered his mouth and chuckled softly. He glanced at the "dismayed" Naruto and was just about to call out "Auntie," but suddenly, as if thinking of something, he abruptly changed it to "Big Sister."

That evening, Jian Jia used both reason and emotion to persuade Chen Bosheng to abandon the idea of cooking every single day.

But upon learning that Jian Jia's destination was the cemetery, Chen Bosheng clearly changed his mind and stayed to accompany him.

"Perhaps it is just because Duke Zhuxiang and the young master are so close that they do not seem like father and son," Meng Tian said, feeling a tinge of envy.

She took a large, crunchy bite of an apple and walked past Duan Liqing without even a sideways glance.

On the small piece of paper, a fierce beast, part tiger and part leopard, leaped out of a black sea, baring its bloody maw and shamelessly revealing its sharp teeth and terrifying gums.

Now that there was improvement, there was no need to be so rigid about eating only nutritional meals; occasionally eating something else would not hurt.

Large quantities of soap and scented soap were being produced, and the wooden boxes used to store them also needed to be coordinated.

"The doctor just said it, he is better, he is truly better!" Xiao Zhenguan said with great solemnity.

"The Marquis of Jing'an's household certainly has excellent manners, and the Lu family has fine rules." Yu Zheng’s expression was cold; he was already furious.

***

Having left a bad impression on his great-uncle, and with his nephew about to be exiled to Jinghong Island, Bai Yunfei was both angry and resentful, grinding his teeth in hatred toward Xu Wen.

Although Lu Hu knew that Yuan Hai's death was related to Ye Feng, he did not know the specifics. Naturally, he assumed Yuan Hai had fought with an elder of the Tianxing Sect and was picked off by Ye Feng after being severely wounded.

At the thought of this, he shook his head and looked out the window. Although it seemed peaceful, the feeling of what lay behind that peace made him fearful.

After leaving the venue, the Archbishop walked straight into the depths of the Holy Light City castle. He did not speak a word to the servants beside him throughout the journey, and the clerics who had served him for years could sense the Archbishop's inner rage. No one dared to make a sound; everyone walked with their heads bowed into the depths of the underground palace.

However, the Venerable in the black robe detested those who had no ability and only knew how to flatter. Once he discovered such people among his subordinates, it was almost impossible for them to live until the next day.

Du Meng hardened her heart. Instead of catching Chao Feng, she stepped on him and rushed out. Poor Chao Feng fell hard to the ground and was knocked unconscious instantly. Fearing that Du Meng might be ambushed, he transformed into a streak of fire and flew out through the gap. Hou Zhenshan, wielding a pair of hammers, leaped up and cleared the prefectural hall.

At this moment, Kava finally opened his eyes, which were filled with cold indifference. He slowly spread his arms; the real battle had begun.

Zejin couldn't remember how he had returned to the Star Castle. In his memory, there had been many people talking in his ears, leaving him no peace. It had taken a great effort to finally return to the Star Castle.

He looked up and was startled to find that the surroundings were full of broken trees, each one chopped into several segments with countless scratches on them. Not far away lay the carcass of a tiger, sliced into mince.

Don't tell her that, as a dual-ability user, she should just watch while a first-level ability user does the work—that would be inhumane.
