Chapter 165

Kais's knight squad once again flanked the enemy's rear, trading the lives of several thousand knights for chaos in the enemy's formation. This would minimize casualties for the knights charging from the front, making the strategy worthwhile overall.

"Didn't you just demonstrate strong analytical skills? You said I’m not part of the film crew and not here to shoot a drama. Then why don’t you analyze again—why am I here? What exactly is my purpose?" Sitting comfortably, he looked calmly at Mi Xue’s beautiful, fair face.

"I’m from Ningbo. My surname is Ma, given name Huoxing. I used to work as a bookkeeper at a rice shop and later ran a general store. I can read and do calculations. After the shop closed down, I lost my livelihood. May I ask, sir, is there any work I could do here?" As he spoke, Ma Huoxing looked at the general store manager before him with hopeful eyes.

Xie Zhigang was a university classmate of Bao Feiyang and Meng Shuang. He had graduated five years ago but still wasn’t married and lived in the single staff dormitory of Zhongtian Cement Factory.

"Catapults!" At the Demon Saint's command, more than sixty catapults simultaneously turned their winches. Within ten seconds, massive stones were launched into the air, raining down on the tightly packed ships within a hundred-meter radius.

"Four eagle coins total. Business will continue in the future—how about that?" The foreman looked up and named a price.

"Why is Old He fishing here today? Doesn’t he usually fish over at Tai O? This place is unfamiliar to you—could it be that there are more fish to catch here?" A bearded man cast his baited line forcefully and asked a man seated nearby.

Mi Xue’s current popularity, with two TV stations vying to sign her, wasn’t due to a powerful backer or someone intentionally promoting her. Everything she achieved came from her own efforts, accumulated bit by bit through hard work.

"Oh dear, that was close—I broke out in a cold sweat watching that. If the old director hadn’t cast his vote for you, those internal guards outside would’ve stormed in and started killing." Just as the last screen faded, a black rift appeared beside Long Zhifeng. A blonde man slipped out like a phantom and wiped his forehead theatrically.

From now on, everyone would go their separate ways. Some would head to college, while others might enter society directly.

Mu Xue pressed her lips tightly. She would never commit suicide. Even if her death could cost him his life, she wouldn’t do it! Besides, just as he said, even if he personally killed her, he wouldn’t remember it anyway.

Not marrying Wen Yu, yet being engaged to her? What kind of joke is this? Does Nie Yan think the Wen family is something to play around with?

Getting injured was routine for Yuan Zhang. Based on past experience, Ke Huan wasn’t worried at all. As for Nie Yan, he’d heard that the injury was only to the arm and wasn’t serious.

"Uh... it’s not as exaggerated as you’re making it sound. You’re totally fine now, aren’t you?" Ruan Meng said with a shrug.

"Uh, Meng Da Nai, are you okay?" Hearing Ruan Meng's weak voice, An Jing asked in surprise.

After she got in the car, Chen Sinan, finally relieved, bent down and got in too, closing the door behind them.

The way she looked at me—was hatred. Deep, bone-piercing hatred. It filled her eyes completely, like she could tear me apart at any moment.

Yang Jie knew that tonight he had to properly attend to Xiao Yue. As for her situation with Commander Liu—since Xiao Yue was so against it, he knew he shouldn’t carry any more burden in his heart.

Zhao Xiang hesitated—she must have thought of the possibility of failure. But Liang Rou, doing this kind of surgery for the first time, was clearly a bit recklessly brave.

The bandits all nodded upon hearing this, agreeing it was the best plan. The one who came up with it was so clever he seemed almost prophetic.

Inside, the gargoyle smashed madly against the black stone, but it was completely useless. The earth and stones enhanced by Anthony's elemental power weren’t something it could break.

They all feared the dangers of Chaos. None of them knew that the path to sainthood for cultivators lay within it. They had accepted Hongjun’s system of cultivation, focused only on virtue, luck, and primordial power, and never tried to break through in the Chaos.

The cold, sinister man whispered and disappeared. The chilling aura vanished from the mountaintop. Still lying atop a white cloud, Jiang Xiao smacked his lips and smiled dreamily, rolled over, and rubbed against the cloud before settling down again.

What pleased Huang Sidao most was that Sun Huizu was very good at making money and handled matters steadily without leaving any evidence behind.

Gu Lingfei wasn’t entirely joking when she said it. Though she disliked Lü Shu, she had to admit—he really was very good-looking.

Zheng Xichen’s words surprised Zheng Chenheng. That kind of sorrowful and gentle tone made his heart melt and ache. With a trace of tenderness, he patted his hair and pulled him tightly into his arms, affectionately nuzzling the top of his head with his chin.

With technology reaching its current stage, for humans to use it to attain a state akin to that of a Buddha or Daoist sage—what's so surprising about that?

Wen Denke pushed the cart to help his parents deliver vegetables. They were going to deliver to a wealthy household that placed a last-minute order. The order came from the manager of a fabric shop—one of the largest in Qianfeng County.

The jade scorpion was even more formidable. Other than lacking ranged attacks, it could strike in a 360-degree radius with no blind spots—utterly overwhelming.

These words were clearly directed at Zong Xinyuan. The latter didn’t back down either, returned a cupped-hands salute, and shot back in response.The Nine Dragon Flame Cauldron, the Cauldron of Five Heavens, was Yi Tianchen’s signature artifact. After so many years, this was the first time Xiao Yan had taken it out. Even after all that time, the medicinal cauldron still exuded a grand and awe-inspiring aura.

“It can’t be... it can’t be...” Qiu Yan muttered blankly, repeating the words as if she couldn’t believe her own ears.

Baili Ziqian already knew that Shiyao had returned, because not only had she come, even Hong Yi had come too.

With the most dangerous person in the Rong residence taken care of, and with the aid of the knockout incense, the actions of the three naturally went smoothly.

Crown Prince Huang always thought that dog was so stupid it didn’t understand a word, with its wagging tail and clingy demeanor. The chance of it biting someone was almost zero—only people who were both cowardly and ignorant would be scared half to death.
