Volume 1, Chapter 48: Fine, I forgive you. As if.

Was he not angry that Song Ci used him as a pretext? Why would he still speak up for her? Could it be that he had truly gotten acquainted with Song Ci and taken a fancy to her tea-brewing skills? How could that be possible?

The trace of doubt that had just surfaced was quickly stamped out by her. No matter what, Song Rouxi refused to believe that someone like Song Ci could possibly know Pei Ji.

Who was Pei Ji? High and mighty, a peerless talent and scholar in the capital, the noble and refined Young Marquis of the Pei family. And what was Song Ci? Merely a humble merchant's daughter of lowly status.

How could Song Ci be worthy? She was not worthy at all.

Beside him, Song Ci's heart was pounding. Lifting her gaze from the ground, her spirited eyes darted upward to look at Pei Ji in secret.

To her surprise, the other party happened to be observing her as well. As their gazes met—

Uncle Chen's strength was vastly superior to that of the figure in black. Moreover, as the Blazing Star Spear collided with the Dark Moon Twin Blades, a wave of intense heat surged from the spearhead into the twin blades, subsequently blanketing the hands of the figure in black. This caused a searing pain in the assailant's hands, weakening his strength by another margin.

Furthermore, it was sleek and glossy, showing not the slightest trace of wind and frost erosion over five or six thousand years. I playfully likened this touch to brushing noses.

Leaving the mountains for the very first time in her life, she beheld the brilliant night scenery outside, which looked like an inverted sea of stars. For the first time, she learned to smile, showing her radiance to others. Once, due to a misunderstanding, she had shed tears for someone else, tasting the bitterness of sorrow and heartbreak.

In addition, Lu Cang selected five Earth-tier experts from within the Four Clans Alliance who had not yet been affected by this outbreak, while the Yan and Liu families also dispatched two Earth-tier experts each to accompany them.

"General, you are mighty! Any six of us are no longer a match for you. Starting tomorrow, we shall have to take you two-on-one, ha ha!" Cao Xing said, opening his collar as he sat upon a stone roller.

"Hey hey, what should I do? Should I let them in?" Red Leaf asked White Wolf with some concern as she looked at the eleven goblins before her.

"Strictly cap it at 30,000." Yang Xiaohua followed closely at Chen Yuanhong's heels and answered without hesitation.

As for Youzhou and Jizhou, which were close to the state of Zhongshan, Liu Tianhao did not bother to issue proclamations or notifications to them at all. Although he was enfeoffed as the Wrathful Prince of Zhongshan, he had no prior interactions with the officials and gentry of the surrounding commanderies and counties, nor were they familiar with one another. Therefore, Liu Tianhao had no intention of bothering to send them formal invitations.

Going out to find a hotel or inn to stay in was an option, but that presented two extremely severe problems: the first was having no money, and the second was still having no money.

According to Mo Song's father, Mo Song's current control over soul-layer one in terms of strength, speed, and other attributes was already equivalent to some people at soul-layer three. Meanwhile, the pure physical prowess of soul-layer three was comparable to the mid-stage of the Soul-Nurturing Realm after summoning a Dao soul. Therefore, Mo Song had basically acquired the capital to fight ordinary Soul-Nurturing Realm practitioners.

With that, Han Xin reached out to pat Imperial Physician Gongyang's shoulder, then draped his robe over his shoulders, stood up, and strode straight out of the tent.

In the State of Zhao, at the army's weapons testing grounds in the suburbs of Handan, the State of Zhao unveiled a new piece of weaponry and equipment: a tank, which was one of their experimental models.

The large box was taken out first, containing bound volumes of hand-drawn books, thick and heavy.

"Mortal, you're courting death!" Xiang Yu sneered coldly, his right hand violently flicking. The heavy iron halberd, weighing over a hundred catties, instantly emitted a crisp, resonant clang, and then slashed outward like a whirlwind.

(Note: "Prosopagnosia", also known as "face blindness", is a cognitive disorder of face perception where the ability to recognize familiar faces is impaired, and patients cannot clearly see or distinguish other people's facial features.)

The Elven King Hua Mantian shouted loudly to the various factions surrounding them, and everyone immediately fell back. Although they had no clear concept of the Wraith King in its peak state, having just witnessed the battle between two level-nine powerhouses, they already felt as overwhelmed as if facing towering waves. Therefore, no one was willing to stay behind and court death.

"The impact of this chemical poisonous gas is actually this severe." The King of Qin looked at the report in his hand. He could view some military intelligence reports regarding the specific situation, but those reports were not written in great detail, which annoyed him greatly.

"My Emperor, this person is very likely a human emperor. Just a few days ago, an external human legion descended, seizing a high-level chaotic grotto-heaven on a barren star. Furthermore, the human emperor slew a level-nine emperor of the Blood Clan."

By this point, I had completely lost my mind. I had originally thought I was fighting shoulder to shoulder with gods, only to find out it was merely a donkey from Guizhou—though fortunately, and ironically, it was a very wealthy donkey from Guizhou.

Right in the center of the room, an old man with a white beard was covering his eyes and rolling around continuously.

Watching Yi Yi shake her head frantically, Zhou Zheng burst into laughter and then plunged straight down beneath the pool water.

The third brother of the Zhuge family was sent to Zhu County to serve as the magistrate, taking charge of this junction area along the Yuan-Liu border. To further win over Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang, Liu Bear naturally had to station Chen Dao—who excelled in defense and protection—in Zhu County, as a demonstration of absolute assurance regarding Zhuge Jun's personal safety.

When the dust and smoke cleared, Omniman was seen kneeling on one knee inside a deep crater. Aside from some damage to the clothing on his back, he was virtually unscathed. Meeting Xia Shang's gaze, he slowly stood up, then turned and raised one arm to block the incoming laser beam.

"Your Highness Prince Kang, please help me prepare a carriage to travel back and forth between the Prince Kang Residence and the Song of Lamentation," He Qingjia said with a graceful bow, her tone calm and detached.

As for his ability to remain outside the law and sail through life smoothly, it was entirely thanks to having a powerful nephew, Fan Wenting.

Every afternoon, he would rush over according to A Zhi's off-work time to pick her up for dinner and shopping, living a rather comfortable life.

Through the dim lighting, Zhou Zheng saw something swaying continuously ahead.

For the opening banquet, things would be simpler. The main purpose was to let both sides get acquainted with each other so that they would know who to turn to for future work, foster personal connections, and build a foundation for communication.

The force present could be said to have mobilized half of the Witch clan's power, solely for the sake of Wu Qiren and the Later Saint Immortal Emperor.
