(148) Leaving one's back to the young girl

The more Liu Yi thought about it, the angrier she became. Setting down the fruit platter in her hands, she poked her little feet out from beneath the covers and kicked Little Phoenix several times.

“Serves you right for bullying me! Serves you right!”

“I won’t do it again, I won’t… You fierce little girl…” Liang Zuan had been kicked, yet a smile remained at the corners of his lips.

He finally understood what people meant by: beating was affection, scolding was love, and when she liked you, she would kick you with her feet.

Besides, the sight of the little girl getting riled up was rather adorable.

Worried About Her

After ending his call with Tang Xiong, Wang Wei summoned Chu Feifei to his room as well. At first, Wang Wei had intended to tell Chu Feifei everything, but then he thought better of it. He was genuinely afraid that, if she suddenly received news resembling a calamity, she might be unable to bear it. Thus, Wang Wei had no choice but to keep silent.

Within Sishui Pass, Xu Rong had known ever since Liang suddenly caught fire the previous night that his good days were coming to an end. In order to survive, the Allied Forces would surely launch a fierce assault on Sishui Pass. All he could do was hold the pass and await reinforcements. As long as he delayed them for a while, the Allied Forces would eventually starve to death before his eyes.

“This is an excellent strategy—cutting off the enemy’s supplies at the source. However, the King of Lu also has cavalry. If the True Lord takes only three thousand men, I fear he may find himself surrounded.” Chen Yong praised the plan, then continued with a grave expression.

There was nothing to be done. Zombies were different from other non-player characters, especially monsters such as Silver-Armored Corpses, which had been born of metal energy. They had never been adept at flight. Although they had already survived their first heavenly tribulation and gained an Yin Talisman Seed, causing their strength and potential to increase steadily, they still could not fly whenever they pleased as he could.

“Here, I have one final matter to announce. Once the top ten experts on the Grandmaster Ranking enter the Wind Realm, they may be teleported directly to Windcloud Mountain. This is the privilege granted to the top ten on the Grandmaster Ranking.” The dean once again made the announcement in a loud voice.

Hearing the Hall Spirit’s words, Ye Xingchen grinned. It seemed that the Hall Spirit had discovered only the Heaven-Burning Flame within him. It had not detected either the Clear Moon Flame or the Void Flame.

His body was dragged forward another great distance, bringing another searing burst of pain. His back felt as though it were about to catch fire.

“Excellent. Let us raise our cups and drink our fill!” Zeus sat upon his throne while the gods took their seats around him, surrounding him like a family gathered around its father.

When Nangong Jue Ming saw that Chong Xiuping’s gaze had remained fixed on his disciple without once shifting away, he could not help exchanging a silent look with Mr. Zou.

Lütjens took a deep breath to suppress his excitement. The thought that he might become the first German naval officer to wash away the humiliation of the Battle of Jutland filled him with exhilaration.

Like the New Song Chart, this week’s Hot Songs Chart displayed only the top thirty entries. Xu Tingzhi flipped through it, but could not find any of the other works he had released that day. It seemed that without publicity and promotion, those songs would have difficulty climbing the rankings.

Fortunately, she had taken a liking to Qin Yun rather than Zhang Guiren at the time. Otherwise, this family would probably never have known a peaceful day; the two of them would be at each other’s throats every day.

Chen Gui and Chen Deng were enigmas among enigmas. It was utterly impossible to guess what they truly wanted.

Jizhou was one of the richest provinces in the Great Han Empire, while the Yuan family had always possessed immense influence. Once Yuan Shao obtained Jizhou, he was like a fish in water, or a fierce tiger given wings.

Rock Lee always accepted low-paying bounties. He wanted to take on something major, but his strength was inferior to Kakuzu’s, so he could only accumulate wealth little by little.

While she was lost in wild thoughts and blaming herself, the door to the hospital room opened, and a familiar figure walked in.

After lunch, he escorted Shen Xiayin and Chengcheng to Shen Xiayin’s home, then found a nearby hotel and settled there temporarily.

The enormous palm descended like Mount Tai pressing down upon the world. Though it was not truly Mount Tai, it was scarcely any less imposing.

It was not only Zhuge Xuan—even Cao Ren and the other generals felt their blood surge after hearing that impassioned oath.
