Chapter 93: Heroic Companions

A girl with the look of a little street tough had come in through the doorway. She must be the girl called Lily that Qian Jiang had mentioned.

Although Zhang Yuling was dissatisfied with her son, Qian Jiang, a daughter-in-law had at least come to visit. She rose from the kang bed to greet her, but the moment they met, she was nearly choked by the heavy perfume clinging to Lily’s body.

Chen Fan also frowned; he had caught the same reeking scent.

...

Qin Ran did not want to compare herself with a dancing girl, but when she saw Qi Xiao protecting that woman so fiercely, she had simply been furious to the point of dizziness.

“Bro, let’s get lunch together at noon. Lend me your meal card,” Li Huang said as he returned to the classroom and sat down. He was still thinking about how to solve his lunch.

The longer he used that black furnace, the more keenly he felt its preciousness. The dark alchemical furnace was not only astonishingly sturdy, but through its cracks he could also observe the changing herbs within. Those fissures greatly helped him control the fire and improve his alchemy skills.

After all, society was advancing, the nation was progressing, and everything around him was changing without pause.

“There’s no need to put on an innocent face before me. Take off that hypocritical mask of yours.”

With a smile, he strode forward in a great step.

“Sir, what have you decided? I know this is indeed rather difficult for you. If you choose not to help, my Jade Clear Sect will not make things hard for you,” said Master Xiu Shui calmly.

“Haha! That’s my fine commander indeed. The northern side has said that as long as the commander goes over, they will grant you a princely title and let you eat as much human flesh as you like. Absolutely no one will dare criticize you for it,” the cook said excitedly.

Wang Feng’s words left Nurse Yuan speechless at once. She instantly felt as though she had offered her warm face only to be met with a cold backside, and so she said nothing more, lowering her head to continue working.

The shopkeeper’s eyes darted about. Seeing that the girl wore plain clothes, he assumed she must have no powerful backing. If some great figure supported her, she would not be dressed so ordinarily. Thus he decided to extort her without exposing his son.

“If you want to leave, then go ahead. I don’t plan to leave yet,” Yang Zihao said in a calm, low voice. He wanted to stand here and boost his junior brother’s morale. Even if the sky fell, he would not fear it.

By the icy lake, I saw in your eyes your reluctance to part with me, so deep, so lingering. At that instant, my heart rippled faintly, and I thought you cared; I thought you were the purest being of all.

In his towering fury, with every opening and closing of his mouth, a violent roar shook everyone’s eardrums.

“Then this servant thanks Your Highness again in advance. Please, Your Highness,” the eunuch said, making an inviting gesture and stepping back to let Prince Zhuangsun Ji go first.

Klaim judged that he had dealt the enemy a fatal blow. Keeping himself on guard without losing any of his momentum, he rushed deeper into the room. No hidden foe sprang out from within with a sword. Behind him came the sound of Brian running up the stairs to the second floor.

Just as Uchiha Madara was basking in self-satisfaction, a cold voice suddenly pierced through the thick smoke.

But she had not even taken a few steps before three figures descended from the sky and blocked her path.

Countless common people remained at home, keeping watch by their television sets at all times, following every slightest change in the situation.

Though Yuan Ji did not care about that person’s life, she was absolutely a woman of her word. Since she had promised the two Wenren brothers that she would save those people struggling on the brink of death under the plague of the undead, she would certainly do it.

“Yunxi, do you know where Cold Smoke Tower is? What kind of place is it?” Although Ling Yuwei had already been in this era for some time, she had been nowhere except the Prime Minister’s Residence and the imperial palace, and knew nothing at all about the world outside.

Dense as a net, dozens upon dozens of pointed icicles materialized out of thin air. Though it was already winter, this ability to summon snow and ice was... it left everyone utterly dumbfounded. They had never seen it, never seen such a bizarre skill. What kind of technique was this?
