Volume 1, Chapter 26: The Map of the Mountain Domain

Kebineng spoke, while his trusted aide, Yuzhugejian, gripped his blade, staring gloomily at the White Paper Fan. Should Kebineng give the order, he was prepared to strike the man down instantly.

"Squad leader, should I go and inform someone?" one of the child soldiers hesitated, glancing at Song Cheng, who refused to leave his spot in the pouring rain, before asking his squad leader in a hushed tone.

However, they were now truly staring at the skeleton of a giant—and not just any giant, but a three-eyed one.

Sweet rice? What was that? Gao Yang raised an eyebrow. Was the girl dreaming up another tasty treat? If she could figure it out, he would be happy to have a taste.

Suddenly, the platoon leader seemed to recall something. Since this was considered the weak point of the entire special operations company, he had never heard Captain Linghu Rui voice any objections. Given Linghu Rui’s temperament, if he had any suspicions, he certainly would have raised them. Could it be that even Captain Linghu Rui agreed with An Tianwei’s tactical plan?

Drawing inspiration from the essence of modern medical disturbances, Miao Cuihua led her staff into action.

This time was different; these spoils were of great use to him. For the first time, An Tianwei tasted the benefits of reaping rewards from the battlefield.

Lu Yao pretended not to see him, her spiritual power flickering as the vines she cast vanished into the protective barrier.

There was hope after all. Fatty Xue had his heart set on the treasures of the ancient tomb. The chances of running into him at Lantern Mountain were high; if they joined forces, they might just have a shot at snatching the Divine Pill.

Hua Mulan, who was squatting and scrubbing the floor, pulled a long face. "Our manager provides food and lodging—what business is it of yours?"

Downstairs, the crowd was buzzing with discussion, while upstairs, Shi Fan was welcoming his bride. After passing through the trials and tribulations, he finally secured her hand, and the bride bid a tearful farewell to her parents.

Hidden in a corner nearby, Rayleigh saw the situation unfolding with Lin Li and closed his eyes in agony, turning his head away.

Hu Shang made up his mind and began messaging Li Yang—once, twice, three times... Just as he was on the verge of tears, that great man finally sent a question mark. Excited, Hu Shang immediately typed out a reply and sent it off.

He remained motionless, merely using the metallic wings on his back to shield his front, effortlessly blocking the attack.

Lin Li did not know why such a sudden surge of emotions had overcome him. He glanced back at the others; they must have felt it too, but perhaps his own reaction was so intense simply because he was too weak.

The reason they would not sell them was simple: they were following Yan Fei’s instructions exactly—weighing out the peanuts, packing them into bags, and carrying them in baskets to sell along the sidewalk.

After leaving the cinema, many netizens immediately went online to post their thoughts on the film they had just watched.

One can have a dozen reasons for disliking someone, but for the person you love, it is a hazy feeling that defies explanation. Seohyun’s feelings were clearly of this nature; she had fallen in love without even realizing it.

So much time had passed, yet now Tang Shiyan had suddenly reappeared, deliberately spreading rumors and smearing her name online. Her actions filled Qin Ye with utter contempt.

But possessing the ultimate survival ability of infinite regeneration, Jiang Wangyue had no complaints and was quite satisfied.

He grabbed her slender wrists and pinned them firmly above her head, his dark eyes filled with an endless, unfathomable depth.

Xu Xingran had intended to curse He Hansheng, but upon seeing the situation, she instinctively covered her mouth.

The waterfall plummeted from a great height, crashing onto the massive boulders in the water below with a deafening roar.

Driven by desperation, he decided to overcome everything with sheer willpower! At the very least, he would hold on until he finished his "important business" before collapsing. With eyelids threatening to droop at any moment, he rolled his eyes, panting heavily, and trudged step by step toward Sifeng.

Just as the man in black drew near, Jun Nuo made his move. He unleashed all the leaves he had gathered, infusing them with his inner energy as he fired them off at once.

The remaining ten thousand troops were startled into consciousness, beginning to retreat and attempt to rearrange their formation, hoping to encircle Du Bian’s three thousand cavalrymen.

Du Bian’s heart hammered wildly; something had gone wrong—something catastrophic, the kind of disaster that could shake the very heavens and earth.

"Right, I remember now—this is how God arranged happiness when He created man. I once heard this story." The choir conductor seemed to have found inspiration in their idle chatter and wanted to share a story with them.

Eh? Where did she go? Zhong Kui had just finished introducing himself, but the celestial maiden who should have been right before his eyes had suddenly vanished! He was left completely dumbfounded.

Xiao Zhicheng hurriedly straightened his court robes and led the way inside. Zhang Ruming walked at the rear. After the three of them entered, they knelt to pay their respects to Wu Bo’erhan, though Zhang Ruming only offered a slight bow before standing aside with his hands tucked into his sleeves.

Seeing the circular basin on the storage rack in the center, Liang Weifa’s eyes took on a dark gray hue, and his face twitched slightly. He carefully stroked the Song Dynasty Ru kiln sky-blue glazed basin, staring at it intently for a long time, consumed with envy.

The second and third sections of the Paoding Building consisted of the government offices and a courtyard enclosed by high walls on all sides.

Zhang Ruming raised his wine cup. He didn’t know how to put it into words, but with his naturally cheerful disposition, he felt a lingering sense of unease. Strangely, this anxiety stemmed from the newly enthroned Delong.

The body of the vessel was adorned with beast-ear handles holding rings, and the front and back of the belly featured lozenge-shaped panels. Within these frames were relief carvings of fish and dragons; a four-clawed dragon soared through colorful clouds, while a carp leaped from the waves, symbolizing the auspicious meaning of leaping through the dragon gate to achieve great success.

A "boom" erupted once more—it was the tiger-crouching cannons. These large flat-bottomed boats could not carry heavy artillery, only a single tiger-crouching cannon each. Yet, when a dozen of them fired in unison, the momentum was no less than that of the Great General cannons.
