Twenty thousand and twenty

“Ha ha, what a pity. Your brother is too slow; it seems you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to meet!” Tuoba Feng folded away the map device and turned to look at Nangong Kexin with a teasing smile. He had already planned how to deal with Nangong Yuchen the next day and had even imagined the scene of eliminating him.

“I’m casting spells down here in the cabin, where do I have the energy to think about that? Kret, why didn’t you warn him?” Luca leaned against the ship’s railing and said.

Zhao Yan had already enabled the external viewing permissions. The York Giant Wolf clearly saw what was happening outside and understood what Zhao Yan had deployed.

After all, strength was paramount. At this moment, his soul power was only level one, so he had to intensify his cultivation. Although the Yellow Springs fruit helped, cultivation still had to be done bit by bit—there was no shortcut.

Yi Feng slowly closed his eyes, regulating the surging energy within. Taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes, his gaze calm and serene as still water.

Yet the departed were gone forever. The once majestic figure who guarded like summer could no longer stand.

“Heh heh, you can’t help it today. Our three sects have united, gathering six experts at the True Immortal level, along with many capable disciples. If you refuse to play along, then surrender quietly. We will settle this and avenge the disciples who died at your hands for the sect!” Sun Dadao declared.

For example, he hadn’t eaten breakfast yet and was used to carrying no money. So aside from wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly, he had no way to solve his hunger.

Of course, there was no taboo about shutting up. It flew straight through the open window into the captain’s quarters. Without Daniel’s control, even the decorative patterns on the walls had dimmed considerably.

This car was far too familiar to him. He had seen it on the way here, and not only was the model the same, but even the scratch on one side was identical.

“Lin Hai, you understand perfectly now, don’t you? I’ve said all I can, even begged and pleaded, but she simply won’t agree.” The Empress Dowager used the word ‘beg’ twice, her pride evident. If she hadn’t seen through that consort, she wouldn’t have bothered with such trivial matters.

The old man surely didn’t want others to know his true condition. If he summoned court physicians, he would likely do so subtly to avoid suspicion.

After a few passes and rebounds, the basketball returned to Yi Feng’s hands. Standing half a meter beyond the three-point line, he shot without hesitation. The ball followed a perfect arc and swished through the net.

From the initial stinging in her nose to the cold cheeks burning numb with streaming tears, Pan Yu didn’t know how long she would cry or how to stop herself.

Besides, Feng Jinghua forbade Yin Jiusha and the others from rescuing her. How on earth could she escape?

Feng Yange startled as she emerged from the bathroom, droplets still clinging to the tips of her hair, falling drop by drop onto the inverted triangular tendons below.

Hong Li hadn’t failed to find the scar; rather, his emaciated arms were covered with countless wounds, new and old, so numerous they defied description.

Han Changfeng’s expression remained unchanged, a hint of displeasure flickering in his eyes, yet he said nothing and sat down at his place.

“Your humble servant intended just that.” Qing Xin had not seen the Empress Dowager for some time. Truth be told, her appearance seemed little changed.

As to how he crossed the Angry River and passed through the camps of the two nations, that remained his secret.

No sooner had Jiang Yu finished speaking than Liu Dong fainted. Truly, her words had been remarkably accurate.

As dusk deepened, the night approached. Traveling through this unknown territory in darkness was perilous, especially as the two people and two beasts began to feel the pangs of hunger.

Yet, when he arrived at the encirclement’s eastern flank on the giant eagle, what he saw was better than he had imagined.

At noon dismissal, everyone hurried out to eat, while I stayed in my seat preparing for the exam.

I followed Zheng Yusheng to the dormitory. He did not speak along the way. I felt deeply pained.

Meijiao couldn’t stand Xue’er’s puppy-eyed gaze and retorted, “So your dream world is a fairy tale? You haven’t grown up yet, have you?” Barin grinning at Xue’er, looking quite cheeky.

Now, his shooting skills were quite good. While not perfect, he had about a ninety percent chance of hitting the bullseye.

Liu Dong felt the next question was hard to ask. It would be easier among peers of the same age, but this person before him was, by blood relation, an elder.

The two avoided each other’s gaze, neither speaking further, but both subtly watched the other’s movements. This made the long journey through the air less tedious. Chang Yi thought the first-class cabin was definitely worth it.

After more than fifty rounds of intense combat without a clear victor, Han Xin worried about Cao Lian’s safety and immediately sounded the retreat.

In the countryside, after major events like weddings or funerals, a feast was always held. Meals were cooked at home by hired chefs; ingredients were bought personally. Villagers shared tables and dishes, relatives and friends contributed money, and everyone gathered to eat together.

The sound of horses’ hooves faded away, and the world fell silent again. The earth resembled a frying pan, beneath which invisible and inaudible flames still burned, tormenting its people.

Liao Yin gritted her teeth and said, “This is not a human blade; it is a demon’s sword, wielded only by hellish fiends.” Her voice was low and hoarse, suddenly sounding like a curse from the underworld.

“Director, TPC reinforcements have arrived. Two goblins have flown above the target,” Misaki Yuki brought good news to Shingo Hazumi.

Receiving Zhang Xusheng’s confirmation, Wu Yong immediately responded decisively, his expression resolute and fearless. Since they needed him, he naturally had the confidence to put forth his conditions.

The blade flashed, already drawn from its sheath. Not only were its length and shape identical, but its edge even bore three notches.
