Chapter 61: The Prince Charges In

Shen Shuyi felt her scalp tingle under Pei Dongzhou's complicated gaze.
What on earth was wrong with this Heir Pei? He looked as though she had committed some heinous crime, making him want to fly into a rage yet forcing himself to exercise extreme restraint. Yet clearly, it was he who had been toying with her last night, even drawing his sword against her and nearly taking her life.
"Is there something you need, Cousin Heir?" Shen Shuyi cautiously took a step back, terrified that the young marquis might draw his sword again.
Seeing her step back, Pei Dongzhou felt a strange, inexplicable surge of emotion.

Zhang Shaozhuo glanced at the old woman again. She seemed to have noticed him as well, gesturing for him to come over while ladling a bowl of soup for him.

Everything was arranged properly. Pan Zhang led a dozen boats around to the front, and at his command, the broadsword-wielding soldiers raised their shields in the vanguard. Everyone paddled with all their might, and the boats rushed downstream like flying arrows.

For now, Tushan Susu's consciousness was temporarily occupied by Tushan Honghong. Because it was only an initial integration, their consciousnesses were still temporarily separate. However, in a few days' time, the consciousnesses of Tushan Honghong and Tushan Susu would merge completely, becoming an entirely new Tushan Susu.

The Prince of Zhennan felt deeply gratified. The Black River was rich in resources, and judging by the current situation, his shortage of provisions and forage was considered resolved for the time being.

Ever since Lieutenant General Nakajima's conversation with Major General Watanabe, the major general's murderous intent and fury had been thoroughly ignited.

Fortunately, as Ye Chu entered the demonic state, the entire sea of demons seemed to transform into his backing. Endless demonic qi poured into his body, replenishing his consumption, which prevented him from exhausting his strength and perishing.

Fu Jin and Xiang Cun had long since learned that the city's garrison consisted of only a few hundred men. Now, with over ten thousand of their own troops, taking this city would naturally be effortless. As soon as the army reached the city gates, without even pausing to pitch camp and rest, they launched a fierce attack.

After arriving at the collective gathering point of the various classes, Yu Hao and the others were assigned to this location—the stream valley—to assist in guarding the vital eye of the formation.

As for now, looking at it more carefully, if it felt just barely acceptable, he had no reason to go out of his way to hire a choreography instructor anymore. This was Li Xiulu's most important thought: it saved money, though not quite enough to actually make him happy.

Beneath the blood-red shadow, a bloody storm erupted around Ding Yin. His crimson blade was encircled by the tempest, and with every sweep of the sword, the space itself was torn apart.

"Very well. Heh, go back and tell your chairman that as long as he complies with my wishes, everything else is negotiable!" Lin Ling smiled coldly, his words carrying deeper, hidden meanings as he spoke to Yang Feng.

Upon hearing the housekeeper's words, Zhang Long's voice instantly rose several octaves. What was the purpose of him sneaking out if not to hide from her? Now, however, it seemed he had failed to avoid her after all.

Hearing Wang Munsheng's warning, Beiming looked up and saw the corners of Beiming's grandfather's mouth twitching, his hands seemingly trembling as if he could no longer endure it. He actually turned back, attempting to step out of the nether path to beat this monstrosity to death.

The pitcher plant shared almost the exact same color as the ground. Under normal circumstances, its leaves pressed tightly against the earth, making it extremely difficult to spot.

Dagangzi, who was leading the charge and executing his moves, was directly shattered in his armor by this collective onslaught and sent flying.

Though his body was supposed to be completely indestructible and impervious to calamity, he could at this moment actually feel his physical form processing a profound and deep-seated exhaustion. A stifling, murky pressure lingered intermittently in his chest, carrying an indescribable and uncomfortable sensation.

Xiao Ruoan nodded, smiling as she watched Qin Chuyan depart, only to spot Liang Sichai waiting for Qin Chuyan not far away.

Just as Li Gang was sighing with emotion, two waitresses stood before the dining table where they had just eaten, staring speechlessly at the mountain of empty plates on the table.

"The dormitory for the Zhou family's factory had a plumbing issue recently and called us for repairs. One of the subcontracting foremen went over, and when he came back, he mentioned to me that he saw Shen Kang inspecting the Zhou family's factory. We were there repairing for three days, and Shen Kang stayed the whole time. It looks like Shen Kang is about to partner with the Zhou family," Niu Qingyou said.
