In Her Eyes

A fleeting silence fell over the Platinum Great Hall, and across the entire landmass as well. In contrast, the Land of Vitality, torn open by a newly blasted breach, was quite bustling. Countless worker bees, as puny as bugs, bustled about without pause, dragging back whatever could be scavenged from the battlefield, radiating an overwhelming air of sheer poverty. The clash just now had ended in a rough draw. But Xuan Ning had subsequently been captured alive, which amounted to a minor setback for the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens. Counting Si Hai's prior failed strike, that made two small— Is the white hedgehog still alive?! Its life is in danger!! Jinzhuo'er instinctively cradled the white hedgehog in her arms. When her body and left arm made contact with the oil in the cauldron, she realized that the scalding oil had already cooled to room temperature. He glanced at Chu Xiangsi, tore a strip of white cloth from the ground to bind her injured ankle, and then bent down to let her climb onto his back. Xiao Zhe became increasingly convinced that when it came to defending the Ji family's reputation, Ji Anqi was in dead earnest, with not the slightest hint of jest. Ten minutes later, she emerged from the restroom and, guided by a servant, walked into the banquet's grand dining hall. Their breaths intertwined as he kissed her passionately, tangling his lips and tongue with hers again and again. Jun Wuji could not help but curl his lips into a smile. Putting down the memorial in his hand, he took a gentle sip of tea and looked at Chu Xiangsi with great interest, seemingly eager to see what she would do next. Qiu Ju did not overthink it. Ever since she saw Zi Ning, the girl had stuck close to Lin Nuannuan; whenever she noticed Zi Ning looking over, she would even turn sideways slightly to shield Lin Nuannuan from view. If it was simply that the matter had not been resolved properly, then Bo Ruo certainly had no reason to lie. After all, it was merely failing to properly carry out what Ming Si had tasked him with; even if Ming Si punished Bo Ruo for it, Bo Ruo truly had no need to lie to me. Nangong Zhuohua's body stiffened abruptly, his eyes snapping wide as he looked at Chu Xiangsi in disbelief, a faint edge of fury in his voice. "Do the Xiongnu not know the consequences of doing this, or have they simply washed their hands of Guihua City?" Chen Zhan asked again, naturally harboring displeasure toward Zhao Xi at this moment as well. "Mister, may I ask you a question?" Ye Juanjuan asked after some hesitation. The Cao family had previously met with disaster, and managing to retain their noble title now had not been easy at all; if dragged into this tempest surrounding Wei Wuji, they might very well be finished. His right arm visibly swelled, tearing his sleeve. Veins bulged along his arm, twisting like tree roots and brimming with explosive power. It was already so late, and who knew why these people wanted to kidnap Mu Shiran; if she fell into their hands, there was no telling what might happen. In light of this situation, the Xiongnu had dispatched the Donghu outside Jingbei City—partly to draw the Donghu away, and partly to maintain heavy pressure on the Wei army. Upon returning home, Chen Zhifan lightly knocked on his father's bedroom door. "Dad, are you asleep?" In his mind, aside from his past-life wisdom, his father was omnipotent. Chen Feng suddenly felt as though he had fallen into a trap. There was no way the Ouyang family did not know that the Single Yang Finger countered the Toad Technique. Ouyang Bo continuing to foolishly endure it head-on was not out of stupidity, but because he had plotted from the start to wear down Chen Feng's inner strength. "Fine, I claim one of her legs! I'll tear off one of her legs to vent the hatred in my heart and avenge my family!" Like Qin Xue, one of the sworn sisters had lost family to Blood Rose, and now, holding back her hatred, she spoke in righteous indignation. Chen Feng's face turned from dark to pale, and in less than fifteen minutes, all color had drained from it. Fortunately, he pulled through; the pain did not intensify, and he was still able to endure it.
