Chapter 112: This Is My Pledge of Loyalty to You (1)

In the distance, Wen Ni sat together with Lin Luo.

Seeing the look on Wen Ni’s face, Lin Luo said softly, “I just heard that Min Xue wants to use her birthday banquet to make Zhou Jingyi admit their relationship. Even if Zhou Jingyi refuses to acknowledge it, Min Xue is still going to quietly declare her claim. Are they really together?”

Wen Ni stiffened and said, “If they’re together, then they’re together. It has nothing to do with me. Not one bit.”

Lin Luo teased, “If I didn’t know you, I’d almost believe that.”

With a soft drip, a drop of blood fell onto Zhu Xia’s eyelid, and for some reason—perhaps because of the physical impact of the blood—his eyelid actually twitched.

After returning to the camp, Jiluo ran straight to the military medical station, grabbed a soldier on duty, and barked loudly.

Thus, the first meeting between the supreme masters of the two continents unfolded beneath those two sentences.

Zhen Feng worried that the Huai-Dong and Danluo coalition would retreat into Jeju City. While fortifying his defenses and clearing the land, he also used the Jinghai naval force to seal off the sea routes. By then, the more than fifteen thousand Goryeo troops stationed on Danluo Island would be trapped in a grueling battle to storm Jeju City.

That night, Chonghua Hall was lively and brimming with excitement. Besides the court officials and their families, the concubines of Emperor Changtai’s harem were also in attendance, along with all of his princes and their consorts; the hall was packed to the rafters.

Su Fei took two steps back, terror showing in his eyes. It was actually Gan Ning, the Jinfan Pirate. He had known Gan Ning for a long time and had dealt with him for years; he knew just how formidable he was. If Gan Ning were still a pirate on the water, Su Fei would not have feared him. But now Gan Ning belonged to Liu Jing—he was Su Fei’s enemy. What could there possibly be left to say between them?

With two-thirds of the day still remaining, Twelve-Lang’s twelve should still be able to advance a few more steps, and more green lights ought to shine along the road to completing the album.

“It’s over! It’s over! The grain and fodder have been burned!” the soldiers cried out in anguish, fighting desperately to save the supplies. At that point, battling Shen Zesi and the others was no longer the most important thing.

Back on Prison Island, there were still many matters waiting to be handled. Lin Fu and Zhou Pu had just returned to the residence and were about to have dinner when Yang Shi came over with Zhao Hu to report to him.

“Yes, I also need to gather the academy’s people to defend the capital and the king...” Fei Zheng said.

Because she had never truly wanted to come to this place in the first place, and after finally building a small pocket of comfort and security in the Sawyer Underground City, all she wanted now was to hurry back there.

Mu Ning immersed herself in it with complete concentration, not noticing at all that a gaze had been studying her the whole time.

Suppressing the shock in her heart, she slowly drew Ye Chuyao into her arms and gently loosened the front of her collar.

At the engagement ceremony, Qin Feng frowned after seeing the WeChat message. He always felt that the relationships in Zhao Xixi’s family were rather complicated, especially those adoptive parents, who were exceptionally troublesome.

A blood calamity, and it really was one. Especially since the accident just now had something to do with Manman, he could not even try to pin the blame on Shi Miao.

It had to be driven to the point where they would not dare attack him, so that once he was free, he could unleash a devastating blow against the Iwagakure army.

Zhao Qingfeng already had a brilliant plan in mind. Having witnessed the tides of world development in his previous life, he long ago understood where the future was headed and how to respond. To put it bluntly, though, apart from Minister Liu, everyone else present seemed to lack the standing for the discussion.

If this thing had never belonged to them in the first place, that would have been one thing. But it had clearly been handed to them, only to be taken back again. Those mystic masters felt utterly mocked, and they were furious.

Now Madam Huo had not yet left Nancheng, and her tone was distinctly one of coming to settle accounts. Lin Xixi guessed that Madam Huo probably wanted to talk to her about something.

Chu Ling’s tone was icy beyond measure. She increased the force of her grip, and Jessica, whose arm had been wrenched behind her back, suddenly cried out in pain.

Hearing Situ Shaogong agree with his own lips, Eunuch Gao was so overjoyed that tears immediately sprang to his eyes. With the Crown Prince reigning over the Dark Moon Kingdom from now on, its future would surely be brilliant.
