Chapter 50: Nightmares, Soul Departure

As Xiao Muchen departed, four exquisitely beautiful handmaidens followed closely, fanning out around him like peacocks displaying their plumage.

"Welcome back, my lord. You were gone the entire night, and this concubine has been terribly worried!"

"Indeed! Siqin and I waited all night for you, my lord, yet you never returned. We thought perhaps..."

"Thought what? Could it be that you feared our lord might be ambushed and unable to return?"

Xuanyuan retorted with a hint of annoyance.

"Hmph, do not forget that we are in the real business sector. Real business relies fundamentally upon credibility. The moment our credibility is compromised, we will no longer be able to earn our living. Director Fang, you are the head of this company."

"There is no need to speak; I already know what he will do." Having guessed correctly, Zheng Han instantly let out a sigh of relief.

Furthermore, this would once again ignite the patriotic enthusiasm of the entire nation to resist the Japanese invaders. Most importantly, the people living within the enemy-occupied zones would receive this news as well.

At this moment, Zhang Shaoning appeared as though he were dead, devoid of any trace of vitality on his face. His hair was disheveled, looking as though it had not been washed for days. Moreover, his breathing was so faint that one would barely realize he was still alive unless standing very close to him.

After dealing with all the trivial matters, Liang Dong finally entered the meditation chamber to undergo secluded cultivation when the new moon rose to its zenith. This time, he was determined to completely break through into the later stage of the Qi Refining Third Layer.

"I stand by what I said! If you wish to make a move against Gao Fei, you will have to move against me as well! Since you find me an eyesore anyway, you might as well use this opportunity to strip me of my position. That way, you can rest easy, and no one will contest the throne of the Human Emperor with you," He Hentian scoffed.

Because the cage was weighted with stones, it sank rapidly, passing smoothly through the hidden piles and other obstacles in the river without causing any interference.

Seeing Yang Dingguo's fierce expression, Yang Dingbang felt reassured. At that very moment, a knock on the door sounded.

Xiahou Ba cautiously pursued a short distance ahead, only to discover that the route was littered with shields and torches abandoned by the enemy.

The fire crystals blazing fiercely below had been burning for three days and three nights. Logically speaking, even if the clam pearl had not melted completely, it should have at least begun to dissolve.

"Quite a hearty appetite," Mo Song's father remarked, flicking the jade bottle toward Mo Song once more as another pill slipped into his mouth.

Liu De felt immensely gratified looking at the six formidable generals he had just recruited, eagerly awaiting their manifestation by his side.

Unfortunately, apart from their lack of precision, the catapults were also prone to damage. After merely a few rounds of throwing, several catapults were completely wrecked and rendered unusable.

This Dark Blood Fiend Scorpion was a rank-five demonic beast, while Pei Qingyu was a formidable Spirit Ancestor. Logically speaking, he should have been able to completely crush his opponent.

"I'm going right now!" The second passerby, who had initially feared punishment from the White Wolf, realized the beast had no intention of punishing him at all and scurried away submissively.

Since someone of such noble status was risking their life to charge forward, what else did we have to fear?

It should be noted that by the time Belgium colonized the Congo, the global slave trade had already come to an end.

That made sense. Appearing here out of nowhere without any prior warning, the other party naturally assumed that Aurora City harbored some hidden agenda.

Zhao Xian walked in a circle around the red-barbarian cannon, gently tapping its barrel. A deep, heavy sound resonated, muffled and dense.

The Prince dropped his playful tone as he spoke, posing the question with the gravity of a formal business discussion. Seeing the Prince grow serious, the steam scholar pondered carefully for a while before offering his reply.

Even so, this fall combined with the tumbling along the way left him feeling dizzy and seeing stars by the time he finally came to a halt, completely disoriented and lightheaded. Naturally, the aching all over his body, as if every bone in his frame had been dismantled, was entirely unavoidable.
