25. The Brothers’ Child Bride

In the dimly lit room, save for the sound of steady breathing, it was as tranquil as a cozy, rain-swept day.

Yet, a cold and chilling aura began to spread.

A pair of ink-green vertical pupils glowed in the gloom like two lamps on the verge of flickering out.

Hiss—

It pushed open the crack of the door, slithering all the way to the bedside, where it raised its upper body, its cold, predatory gaze fixed upon the person sleeping soundly on the bed.

Ruan Li suddenly felt the air around her grow damp and frigid. She frowned, stirring from her slumber.

Li Yong instructed Deputy Company Commander He Cuihua to notify Li Yuming immediately to stop the pursuit; they had gone far enough.

"Focus your mind and calm your spirit. Cast aside all distracting thoughts, pay close attention to the flow of the energy currents, and commit them to memory." With a sharp cry from Zhang Tiansong, Ren Qian snapped back to reality, quickly shaking off her daze to silently memorize the paths of the spiritual energy.

As for the master of the City Lord’s Mansion, he had been banished by Lin Yi to a side chamber. It was fortunate that he had sent his wives back to their parents' homes that day; otherwise, he might well have found himself wearing that legendary "green hat."

The car drove up the mountain, and within two or three minutes, it pulled up in front of a building marked with a red cross.

"So... Mr. Zhuang, you intend to keep this raw jade and not sell it..." Upon hearing these words from Zhuang Boyan, Song Haiping frowned slightly and continued to press him.

"Old... Old Liu?" Shi Yu was taken aback, momentarily unable to process Zhang Tiansong's words.

The Great Golden Wheel Hand Seal crashed down upon the Minotaur one after another. Lie Yan flicked the rusted Tianjue Sword in his hand, surged forward, and swung the blade at the beast's head.

Chun Li’s face flushed crimson. She stamped her foot lightly, her face now glowing with an irrepressible, bashful radiance.

Those who charged out to destroy the tanks were the core combatants of the unit, many of them squad leaders or deputies. Their casualties left the soldiers huddled in the trenches with eyes burning red; they fired desperately, disregarding their own safety to suppress the enemy’s infantry and provide cover for their charging comrades.

"So, you are giving up on me now? Just for the sake of Xing Feng, you're going to abandon me?!" His eyes turned bloodshot in an instant. He leaned powerlessly against the door, his gaze fixed on me in despair.

After standing in place and bowing his head in contemplation for a long time, Nick Fury finally lifted his head slightly, though the deep bewilderment on his face had not diminished in the slightest.

The Ancient One stood in the center of the great hall, draped in a white hooded robe, while a black sorcerer stood shoulder-to-shoulder with her.

Moreover, the fact that Doctor Strange would one day be able to use the power of a time loop to reach an agreement with Dormammu was hard for Patch to accept, even though he knew it had been achieved through the power of the Eye of Agamotto.

"It seems our army's camp was boisterous all night, and the city's defenders spent the night keeping us company. They must be sound asleep by now." With torches blazing atop the city walls, was this not proof that Ju Shou was merely putting on a show of force, falling right into their trap?

"Enough. Go away, and don't let me see you again." Gu Lin'an could no longer bear to look at her; supporting Ning Shan, he turned to leave.

Adamantium is indeed the premier alloy, and weapons forged from it are undeniably sharp, but that does not mean a weapon made of Adamantium makes one invincible. In true combat, there are many ways to circumvent the advantages of such a weapon.

The repeating crossbow battalion advanced with steady steps, moving forward with slow, deliberate precision. Except for the soft sound of their footsteps, they moved like silent leopards, waiting for the moment to strike a fatal blow.

"Aren't you the same? I disguised myself as a mysterious person to tease you, and didn't you enjoy it quite a bit?" he retorted, refusing to be outdone.

Lin Fengfan shoved me hard. I fell to the ground, my bottom hitting the cold, hard floor so painfully that I couldn't stand up for a long while.

This was because the masters of the East and West Halls were no fools. These logbooks contained the signatures of the representatives from both sides, and each party held a copy—the Qing Sect had their own as well.
