Chapter 68: The Devil Squirrel

"It's fine, I'll be careful. Let's hurry up and find it. I remember there should be a magical beast around here called the Devil Squirrel. Its attack power is relatively low, but it can create illusions to buy time for itself and secure a longer escape window," John Lin said as he walked, carefully scrutinizing the surrounding giant trees.

Mo Qianxun followed closely behind him. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a black figure flashing past one of the large trees.

Well, the hidden guard was finally jolted back to his senses by his master's cold, detached voice, and he resolutely went out to make arrangements with the left guard.

Everyone glanced at Qian Mimi without saying anything, for at this moment, any words would be superfluous. Everyone had done their best; having done all they could, they would now leave the rest to fate. One by one, they silently turned and headed home.

Just as they had anticipated, the moment it became known that they had retreated, the Liangzhou army, which had been cooped up for over a month, finally made its move.

A slight change flickered across Yu E's face. Have these Wild Tribe members lost their minds? They resort to violence at the slightest disagreement.

Yue Lingran nodded stiffly, and then watched as Yue Junhao, assisted by the steward, boarded the carriage and departed the city.

"You!" Malygos was consumed by a towering rage, his massive body brushing aside Sindragosa, who was trying to block him, and striding straight toward Edward.

Even Kul Tegin, who prized speed above all, couldn't help but click his tongue in astonishment when he learned the marching speed of the Liangzhou and Longyou armies.

How could the recruitment of disciples by the Eternal Heavenly Sect fail to attract attention? At this moment, everyone was whispering amongst themselves.

Precisely because he was there, the imperial physicians arranged by Li Longji did not launch a surprise attack that would have blown their cover. Wang Wei had them report first to the governor's office, where he gave them strict instructions before sending them to the backyard to treat Pei Mian.

A succession of enticing aromas wafted through the air, accompanied by various exotic foods, such as a bright green insect resembling a locust, as well as some exquisitely flavored spiritual herbs used as ingredients.

"You could always fake an illness or something." His voice was slightly faint, perhaps realizing that faking an illness in front of the Church wasn't very reliable, so he let out a vexed sigh.

Melodious music played within the romantic private dining room, and the rose petals scattered across the table exuded a delicate fragrance.

Returning to the house, Lin Ke set about preparing breakfast for everyone. There was still plenty of food in the refrigerator; milk, bread, and eggs were easy to fix as long as the ingredients were on hand. They needed to be well-fed before descending the mountain.

The completely random layout and furnishings made the place feel like a labyrinth. Knight Plummer, who had lingered in King's Landing for a long time, followed in Xia Er's footsteps, but he was already utterly disoriented, repeatedly asking a guard from Flea Bottom who walked beside him.

"What, you think it's too little? A price of two million is already double," Du Yu said with a beaming smile, his impression of Ye Feng dropping significantly in his heart.

Li Yuan's gaze was entirely captivated by that enchanting temptress. I surmise that Nan Yaoyao must have used some kind of sorcery; Li Yuan was so anxious and eager that, after tugging for a long time, he managed only to pull out a single belt.

This unexpected and flawless retort made Zhang Ziqin even angrier. Up until now, she still couldn't accept the fact that she had lost to an older woman.

Stone-gambling has its own rules. When a piece of rough stone is being inspected by someone, as long as that person hasn't left or explicitly expressed a lack of intent to buy, no one else is allowed to crowd around. Doing otherwise would be a breach of the rules.

She hastily lifted the quilt and stepped barefoot onto the floorboards. Due to her overly hurried movements, she stumbled and fell directly in front of the couch.

Yet even so, Qi Ruize caught her with just one arm, looking entirely effortless.

"Hehe, I don't know who sent it, private messages don't show... But I really wasn't flirting around," Linna tried to explain.

From Chen Qingshan's perspective, the completely unreserved words he had just spoken should have made things abundantly clear, so why was Shen Lan still asking him what happened next?

Yet, such magnificent scenery had nothing to do with Lin Yun, because at this moment he was in the middle of his "morning exercise," attending to his daily regimen.
