Chapter 50: Partners in Collaboration

Zhou Yuheng placed a hand beneath his nose, turned his head away, and let the corners of his lips curve upward in a slight smile. A few seconds later, he looked back at Lin Xilan and said, "Are you out of your mind?"

Lin Xilan offered a flattering smile. "Wasn't I just helping you fend off unwanted romantic attention?"

Zhou Yuheng replied, "Just act normally and stop pushing me out like that. An ordinary married couple would..."

Everyone lived in fear that their turn would be next, and the ministers in the imperial court gradually began to feel that the political situation was taking a ominous turn.

Meng Shaoning had previously known nothing of Jiang Yunqing; in fact, neither the Meng family nor the Jiang family had maintained any significant social intercourse.

Several bailiffs conversed in lowered voices while taking the time to tether their horses. A young farmhand emerged from the side room to help them carry dry hay to feed the horses, listening to their chatter in silence.

Amidst the blindingly bright lights, the Equal Rights Association's hovercar arrived at the aerial landing pad. A telephoto lens tracked it closely as the door swung open, revealing a pair of starlight-shimmering shoes stepping onto the crimson carpet. The feet within those shoes were flawlessly fair, radiating a soft, pearlescent glow.

Su Yi stared expressionlessly at the tube of bright yellow liquid, acutely aware that her expression was far from friendly. Reaching out, she commanded the sensory equipment to deliver the test tube into her hands, gripped it tightly, and examined it closely.

"Brother Liang, have you been working too hard lately? Your complexion looks terrible. Have you run into any difficult problems?" Huang Feier asked with concerned affection, noticing that Zhang Jialiang was lost in worried thoughts.

Luo Yiling and Shen Feng swung the heavy melee weapons in their hands, shattering the monster into countless shards of ice. Afterward, the senior martial brother used a flamethrower to obliterate the fragments piece by piece. Although the black mud monster had evolved a tolerance to fire, this did not mean it was completely immune to fire damage.

All of the iron capsules opened up one by one, and heavily armed Valkyrie Laboratory soldiers marched out. However, these soldiers differed from the ones Luo Tianhuan had previously encountered; they belonged to the Valkyrie Laboratory's Special Security Force of the Judgment Light.

Listening to Meng Shaoning's words, Imperial Physician Fang felt even more strongly that the Meng family was overly benevolent, while those of the Jiang family were truly despicable.

Bai Youlan carefully tucked her silver needles away upon her person, then gathered a large quantity of poisonous powders, dividing them into two portions. She kept one for herself and handed the other to Luo Mingxuan.

That kick had clearly been delivered with the man in black's full strength, showing no reservation whatsoever as he intended to kick Hua Tianyang straight to death.

Yet the cicada-like pest showed not a shred of fear. Instead, it altered its trajectory mid-air and lunged straight toward Su Biaofeng's fist.

Raging fires ignited across Huchikuan Pass, turning the Tartar encampment ahead into a sea of flames as well, plunging the battlefield into even greater chaos.

Gripping the hilt of his sword once more, Xiao Ran landed steadily on the ground and sneered at the bleeding wound on Hua Xiangxi's arm.

The sky was overcast and piercingly cold, as if the mortal realm were saturated with every dark emotion, drifting and swaying in the dreary rain.

Cheng Lingyu began to understand. His current issue was not a lack of accumulated resources, but rather that he had yet to integrate his gathered knowledge, nor recognized his true foundational path so as to truly assimilate all he had learned into it.

At this moment, Cui Min arrived outside Taiping Town. In the dead of night, the handsome youth wore a snow-white robe, his figure as straight as a pine and his expression stern, standing firm and unshaken amidst the howling gale like a jade tree in the wind. Before them lay the boundless Han family burial ground, sprawling across a thousand graves and covering half the mountainside.

Inside her spatial dimension, Ye Lingxi felt a heavy ache in her heart. She was also reflecting upon herself: had she truly done something wrong?

Everyone was startled, especially Zhang Huishan. When she heard the words "palming thunder," she instinctively shivered from head to toe, yet before she could make any reaction at all, she had already fallen victim to the spell.
