Chapter 160: Beheading the Envoy

Deng Fukang feigned astonishment and said, "Commander Liu, isn't this move a bit too risky? I see that everyone here belongs to Commander Jiang; I'm afraid it won't be that easy. In case things don't go as planned, how will we manage the aftermath?"

Liu Mingxu patted his chest and declared, "Prefect Deng can rest easy. That old fool Jiang Zhao has long since grown unaccustomed to swords and spears. With those brittle bones of his, if not for Prime Minister Su's staunch protection, how could he ever have attained the position of commander..."

"You are too polite, Father." However, at this moment, Noble Consort Pei acted as if she intentionally failed to understand the Marquis of Yong'an's words. She replied in a low voice and said no more.

It was true that Ye Yu was her son, but she had long since prepared a fallback plan. Therefore, asking her now to shield Ye Yu the way Auntie Qin shielded Ye Meng was something she could never bring herself to do. To say nothing else, even this Ye Qi was someone she preferred not to touch.

Thinking of this... and looking once again at Xiao Yunqi's perpetually icy expression, Sheng Ruosi increasingly felt that he might truly have come to call them to account.

Before she even had time to speak, three more clods of earth came flying consecutively with a whoosh. Her face was already stained with water, and upon impact, the dirt dissolved into mud, sticking to her face, making her look filthy and wretched.

After being killed, the player resurrected and sat inside the prison cell with a blank stare, utterly unwilling to go out ever again. It was simply too agonizing; the moment he stepped outside, he would be killed again, and his imprisonment time would double yet once more.

Since that Mr. Su was wealthy enough to sponsor the First Prince in establishing the Enlightenment Society, he could not possibly be a mere scion of a noble family! What kind of enterprise lay behind him?

She wanted to sleep... yet she could not fall asleep. This left her on the verge of a complete breakdown, making her feel that getting an early night's rest was destined to remain an unachievable dream.

"Let's wait and see!" William seemed to harbor absolute determination that he could win... Against Echizen Ryoma, where on earth did you get such confidence?

Huochi hated hearing such words, so her attitude toward Ye Zanggong was extremely poor, primarily because she was unconvinced in her heart.

Therefore, this time, Leikas, who had just been implanted with the vicious dragon mutation inducer, naturally intended to brew this troll mutation inducer directly into a decoction so that it would take effect in tomorrow's battle.

The shortlisted candidates were announced on the spot. Zhang Bingyu, Xiao Yu, and Xie Haiyun were all selected, and true to expectation, Xiao Yu did not find Fei Yutong's name on the list.

The onslaught of the homunculi made everyone's soul tremble. A fierce and passionate combative spirit was ignited within the heart of every powerhouse, but reason told them that the most sensible course of action right now was to retreat.

Gu Jianli could not help recalling the way Ji Wujing used to lose his temper, and she frowned involuntarily. She truly had no idea how Ji Wujing would treat her upon her return. Would he tie her wrists? Spank her? Bite and chew on her at random? Gu Jianli closed her weary eyes.

Ji Yi had a large appetite, but fortunately, they hadn't ordered much. Xiao Yu couldn't eat anymore, and after finishing their ice cream, the two children had no appetite for dinner either, so he ate the rest himself.

Just as he was thinking of refusing, he saw the door push open from the outside. At first, he thought his grandfather had returned.

Hearing this familiar voice in his ears, Zhou Jian immediately raised his head and looked toward the seats in the first row. However, all he caught sight of was the back of a head covered in dark, soft, and sleek hair.

The two of them found the movie-shooting equipment and fussed over it all day, loving every minute of it.

Zhu Shenghui was thankful that, fearing he might be trapped, he had turned on the recording mode at the time. In the end, when he posted the timestamp of their phone conversation, it indeed predated the exposure on Weibo.

Suddenly, the three-eyed cat standing amidst the bustling street raised its gaze toward the horizon, only to see a brilliant radiance descending from the distant sky.

"Mother, listen to you. Saying even a single word to them feels like a waste, and even more like an insult to oneself! Mother is right, there's no need to waste our breath." Lady Liu immediately nodded and, supporting Mrs. Yang, intended to walk over and take a seat at another table.

For Sun Yifan nowadays, perhaps playing professionally himself was somewhat unrealistic, but being able to help his cousin fulfill this dream felt to Sun Yifan like making up for the regrets of his own youth.
