Chapter 066 Zhou Jingyi Presses for the Identity of the Child’s Father
Of course, he didn't utter those words aloud; if Leng Lian had heard them, he would probably have laughed himself unconscious. Seeing that a trap had truly been laid, Xu Ying frowned and then signaled for them both to return.
Dong Baichuan's arrival instantly dispelled Du Yifan's domineering aura, allowing Zuo Qianchan and the other two to breathe a sigh of relief and catch their breath.
On the fourth day, as the morning sun rose and its rays filtered through the gaps in the branches, shining upon his face, he awoke. Though the air was still thick with chill and the northern wind howled, his heart felt warm, beating with unusual strength—not because the Sea of Six Suns had awakened, but because his own heart had come alive.
When she crouched before him, she could see beneath the brim of his cap the gaunt, weathered contours of his face. The familiar, deep-seated handsomeness remained, but she could tell he was frail.
At that moment, the bar's doors swung open, and a handsome, elegant man strode in. Black suit, white shirt, a luxurious tie—everything was so familiar, so coincidental.
Tang Shan was rather lucky. On the twenty-fifth day after breaking his leg, Tang Wulian brought Chen Yusheng back to her mother's home. Passing Tang Shan's house at noon, she saw Tang Shan, like a frog with a broken leg, hopping out on one foot, and was utterly astonished.
"Because under the barrier of my 'City of Time Feasts,' any ordinary person's time is siphoned away, yet I cannot absorb yours. So... you are not an ordinary person. Could it be that you are also a spirit?" Tokisaki Kurumi's charming face was tinged with confusion.
Was it easy for her? Day after day, she had to practice martial arts while enduring the ridicule of two heartless scoundrels beside her.
Yet, although the spirit wall was split in two, it had not completely dispersed; it still rushed straight toward Qingyun's incarnation.
Aristophanes, beard bristling and eyes glaring in anger, simply turned and walked away. Once more, he affirmed his own understanding: the reason he could become good friends with Plato but remained distant from Antisthenes was all due to their sense of responsibility.
The head of the Cheng family, Cheng Wuyou, was slapped hard across the face by Chen Xiao, letting out a miserable cry on the spot.
After deliberation, the leaders decided: let the soldiers rest at dusk, march before dawn, and if the Persian army catches up, set up camp. This ensured the troops' safety without delaying their advance.
As they hurriedly exited the cafeteria, another group of slaves swiftly marched in. The schedule was so tight to ensure thousands of slaves in the camp could finish breakfast quickly and get to work on time.
Daevers immediately sprang into action, instructing Asistes to send men into the port of Thurii to deliver a message to Bourques: Amendolara was willing to restore relations with Thurii.
The master of the dragon-crocodile was actually a demon lord—the equivalent of a human supreme. News of this would surely shake the entire cultivation world.
Thus, awakening the mark of a spiritual array master generally indicated how far one could go on the path of array mastery.
Although it appeared to be a useless skill, its utility was immense, and it was crucial, especially during confrontations.
Tiansheng's face showed a hint of excitement. He hadn't expected to reach the boundary so easily, with almost no obstacles. Just as he was about to step through, a hand pulled him back.
His body fell straight back, finally hitting the ground with a heavy thud, raising a cloud of dust.
"We're already home. Everything is fine, so you needn't worry. Tomorrow, I'll bring her to visit you!" Yan Mofeng said.

The youth with the pale face stepped aside, his posture quickly straightening. Two crisp snapping sounds followed, and the body that had been split in two seemed to reconnect.
He flicked slightly backward, then lunged forward, clashing with both opponents at once, the sound of metal ringing out.
Yet they all knew that Luo Qianjun had indeed been defeated. Otherwise, as a distinguished leader and a martial god of the earth veins, he would never have collapsed before his opponent.
Ning Qingqing looked at Su Yu's smile and knew he had no good ideas; someone was bound to suffer as a result.
"From your father?" Li Lu was already certain that the "they" Bai Yilong mentioned must refer to the "card players," but he still had no idea what sort of organization could make a high-ranking official with assets in the hundreds of millions afraid to speak its name aloud.
Su Yu took up residence in an inn. Bai Xue, Dongfang Ruyu, and Zhang Deshuai all invited him in the same manner, but Su Yu politely declined.
