Chapter 55: The Buffs Are Fully Stacked!!

Upon hearing this, Ms. Zhang couldn’t help but wear a blissful smile as she said, “Very well, he loves me deeply. Although his work requires frequent business trips, whenever he’s home, he prepares lunch and dinner for me in the morning and stores them in the fridge. No matter how late he gets back from work, he always mops the floor and cleans the house thoroughly. Although he has little rest, he never forgets to bring me gifts from every place he visits.”

Sang Ye grew increasingly uneasy. “Does he often go on business trips and work overtime? And now, in your late pregnancy…”

Amidst the clatter of pots and pans from the kitchen, Wu Yingxian lifted the quilt, intending to help. Yet as she looked around, she realized her underwear was missing.

Guan Yu was on edge the entire way, fearing an ambush from Wei’s troops at any moment. Yet as he neared the gap in the encirclement, no sign of movement appeared.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang…” Suddenly, four loud gunshots echoed in succession. Flames erupted from all four cardinal points—east, south, west, and north. The air thickened with the scent of gasoline, turning the surrounding dense forest into an instant inferno.

Except for the father and son, most didn’t recognize Huaxian’er and therefore likely wouldn’t notice the bride was an impostor.

Two days—just two days. Wan Kang felt he couldn’t afford to waste more time here; the moment for indulgence had not yet come.

Tall and robust, with an astonishing physique brimming with explosive power, he wore no jacket since he didn’t carry a gun—just a plain short-sleeved t-shirt and beach shorts. His arms, shoulders, and legs bore various scars, vivid and unsettling, far beyond anything mere tattoos could compare.

“Yes, Commander,” Zhang Dabiao continued, “now that you’ve secured Myanmar, the troops’ morale and the people's support have reached their peak. It all depends on how Commander Liu handles the Fifth Division of the Japanese Huangshan Army tonight.”

After flinging away his pistol, Pei Tong rose almost simultaneously with Wan Kang and gave chase. But Wan Kang, familiar with the stairs’ layout, moved swiftly in the dark, reaching the second floor within moments.

Upon entering the room, a strong medicinal scent struck Li Yuan’s nostrils, twisting his heart in pain. He hurried forward and came to the bedside.

Knock, knock, knock… Just as Dong Lei had hidden, a series of two long knocks and one short came again. With a creak, the door opened, revealing a man named Qingmu.

Having traveled extensively with his uncle, Li Zhuang had considered himself an experienced businessman. Yet after his uncle Li Xiu passed away and he took over the family affairs, he realized things were far more complicated than he had imagined.

At this, many turned their heads upon hearing the words. One shop owner hastily closed the door in fright.

Sylvia didn’t quite understand where Xing Tianyu’s confidence came from, but with no other options, she had to reluctantly acquiesce for the time being.

An old servant once said that her mother, gifted and talented, had never gotten along with the matriarch after marrying into the Prime Minister’s household. For years, the old lady never liked the legitimate wife and, to spite her mother, favored the second lady, Madam Xie.

At the very least, if the battle where he slew Medusa and fought the Sphinx were filmed, it would be worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster.

“That’s only natural. In fact, elves detest anything spicy. If you want to extract information from one, just feed it a few chili peppers,” a voice came from nearby.

Meng Wannian was tumbling in midair because Baili Wuchen’s way of retracting the white silk was utterly ruthless.

Le Bing merely narrowed her eyes at Teng Yu, causing him an inexplicable pressure. Although their strength was roughly equal, Teng Yu found himself unnerved by Le Bing.

Mona’s body stiffened as she caught the warning tone in Ming Xuedi’s voice—there would be no chance to deal with Le Bing today. She turned and tugged Shangguan Chen to descend.

Finally, the vortex calmed. Within the swirling depths appeared a passage leading to a completely unknown otherworld.
