Volume 1, Chapter 29: I Am Getting Married

"What do you mean 'so what'? In all of Rongcheng, who doesn't know that I was raised by the Jiang family?" Father Zhou was so furious he could have throttled Zhou Jingmo right then and there. "And who in Rongcheng doesn't know that Jiang Yihuan is like your own sister? You come to me now and tell me you’ve fallen for her? If word gets out, where will I hide my face? Those who know will say you two are childhood sweethearts, but those who don't will think the Zhou family saw the Jiang family’s decline and snatched Yihuan away to be a child bride!"

Zhou Jingmo did not respond immediately. Instead, he pulled a cigarette case from his pocket, bit down on a cigarette, and lit it with a flick of his lighter. He exhaled a cloud of smoke and looked up at his father, his gaze calm. "So..."

The scholar in white stared coldly at Li Yunfei and shouted, "What kind of joke is this? Inner demons? We are your inner demons! I will kill you!" With that, he lunged at Li Yunfei with his sword.

He felt this way because both armies were originally Shandong rebel forces, all branches of the Red Coat Army. Yet, unexpectedly, while the Jin Dynasty had not yet been destroyed and the Mongol forces were still eyeing the Jingdong region, these internal factions had engaged in such a large-scale war.

The Song soldiers, clad in iron armor and holding shields over their heads to deflect the rolling logs and boulders, continuously scaled the flying ladders and siege towers, launching assaults on the city walls. From time to time, men were struck and fell from the ladders with agonizing cries, but as long as they weren't severely wounded, they would scramble up and continue the climb.

Li Quan had already made extensive defensive preparations in Chuzhou City. Once the Song army arrived a few dozen miles outside the city, their progress was forced to slow down.

"Master Liu, do you know how to break this Seventy-Two Heaven Gate Formation?" Tao Shang asked, turning his gaze toward Liu Ji.

The silence lasted for a full minute, until suddenly, following a shout from a disciple of the North Courtyard, the entire training ground was drowned out by thunderous cheers.

Another metallic clash rang out like a thunderclap. Mu Guiying was forced back three steps, the webbing between her thumb and forefinger split, oozing beads of blood.

"Alright, I have already purged the curse from your body. Now, can you give me the route map?" Ryan looked at Aru’s grandmother and said bluntly.

Beneath the moonlight, a white-clad figure indeed appeared, moving with a grace that seemed to ride the wind; their lightness skill was no less impressive than that of Sikong Zhaixing.

Casting a playful glance at Pang Tao’s face, Lu Shang waved his hand, signaling the two men behind him to slowly surround Duan Chen and his companions.

Fu’an, who had just reached the courtyard, heard his young master’s cry and couldn't help but feel relieved that he had returned just in time.

Since Gong Lan had already left on her own, Yuan Yi felt there was no point in staying, so he intended to bid the three farewell and depart.

"The end result was that he received family punishment and was sent back to Su Family Village to recover. You and Third Uncle know this."

For instance, Hades watched as ship after ship queued up, without cutting the line or complaining, passing through the inspection of the Mafia members one by one, then paying their fees and entering the harbor in an orderly fashion.

One could easily imagine that someone capable of unifying the underground society would be no pushover. Thinking of this, Hades did not relax his guard; instead, he felt more and more that something was amiss.

The dairy goat was also brought to town. Once Mrs. Qin had finished milking, Yang Yun made yogurt and, with everyone's help, began preparing the other ingredients.

Looking at it now, not only had they recouped the auction costs, but they had also added a flagship product to their future health supplement factory—it was killing two birds with one stone.

Ning Pengpeng’s face, however, showed no surprise. After all, when they had previously consulted with Magistrate Li, they had already deduced who had the strongest motive to murder Zhou Zilin.

These fellows could never have imagined that having just escaped death in the sea, they would turn around and jump straight into a tiger's den.

Finally, the cry of an infant sounded from the delivery room. Though soft, the hearts of the Yang family members, which had been hanging by a thread, finally settled halfway.

"Your wife? As I said, if you claim she is your wife, you must provide credible evidence. Otherwise, why should I believe you?" Yun Hao retorted.

After arriving at Longzou City, Cao Cao sent men to Yuan Shao, telling him that the war about to erupt south of Yanzhou would be left to him.

Now, as the Azure Dragon King hovered on the brink of death, the Heaven Gu Immortal Maiden suddenly appeared to save him, leaving the Azure Dragon King filled with complex emotions.

He dared not be certain if Su Chen and his group were truly supporting him, nor did he dare to step forward, fearing that if he channeled his internal energy, he would be exposed. He carried the burden of his parents' murder and had to endure, swallowing every humiliation until his strength reached the necessary level.

Because of this incident, Yang Jian had always remained cold toward his uncle, even though the latter was the esteemed ruler of the Heavenly Court.

Of course, one had to gauge the limits of this situation carefully; I must never let Fairy Lin find out that I slept with her sister.

"Analyze the monster's strength!" Zhang Tiansheng issued the command. He knew the Heaven-Returning System would answer any question he had—provided it was merely at the level of consultation. As for trying to advance any merit points, it was stingier than stone.

I never expected Xu Qing not to ask why I was borrowing the car; she simply told me to go back and get the keys, saying she would leave them on the nightstand.

"Stop him!" someone roared in the woods. Regardless of whether Yu Chao made it inside, as long as he drew near the ruins, they would all have to bear the brunt of Yin Lie’s fury.

It was clearly a crystallization of technology, yet there was something subtly different about the cockpit. It was indeed a standard all-around view cockpit, but behind it, there was a door that looked rather strange.

As Shana grew excited, her fingers pressed down with increased force. I felt a sharp pain, and she hurriedly let go. I shook my head, feeling my brain slightly clearer than before, and continued.

What to do next was simple. Xie Jun tried to transform his consciousness into the shape of a bird, flapping his wings hard, but unfortunately, he could neither fly nor was there any air here to support flight.

"I don't know." Flora desperately wanted to say that the face-spider was a mutation of Subject No. 1, possessing infinite potential and terrifying power, but thinking of Lin Yunxuan’s various unfathomable methods, she hesitated and gave an uncertain answer.

"Are you not covetous of the Blood and Rose family's centuries of wealth?" Shirley did not deny it, choosing instead to ask a question in return.

There were many things Wen Rou had been unwilling to let the straightforward Yang Jiaqian know, but now, without explaining and making things clear, it would likely be impossible to salvage the situation.
