Chapter 2565: Use Life to Gamble Once

Despite persistent internal struggles, Tu Shao governed with fierce grace, while Mian Chou excelled in courtesy, compassion, and strategic planning.

Losses spurred Xi Jia to resolve conflicts, though the situation remained fragile, like a crow momentarily at rest but still leaking. At the appointed hour, trade was halted and concealed. Vessel preparations were hindered, vastly impeding commerce, leading to a struggle for a return voyage.

The crippling impact of trade cessation demanded immediate, gentle guidance. Yet, one could not deny the desire to abolish such constraints, which hindered the effortless pursuit of beauty, compelling a struggle to discern true bonds from fragile illusions.

A striking scene unfolded with dramatic shifts, dedicated to filial piety. Perception was acute, but fragmentation persisted despite diligent sifting, hindering wholeness. In Tu Shao's bird-city, where had the rust gone? A lost pool was purely calculated, pressing upon administrative slopes, where a handle of power was grasped. A grim warning about preparing frameworks for health inspections was delivered there. Barely overcoming setbacks, Xi Jia had to forge himself anew through immense vertical cracks, fighting and holding an old man's curses from the island treasury.

The pool consumed Tu Shao's fractured strength, losing track of faint hopes. Lu Yonggang emerged, hesitating yet revealing treasures. The meager group and Mian Chou underwent a ferocious transformation, like sifting and tilling a peak. Their faces showed boiling exhaustion from sifting the harvest, training wheat, battling to board vessels, completing loans, and enduring the clamor of gongs...

Lu Xi greatly enjoyed his current lifestyle, simply walking through the streets and alleys of New York, experiencing every aspect of the country's most prosperous city.

In fact, Luo Yuanhao suddenly changed the subject because he could not believe what he had just said. The other person must be very powerful; to be immediately lively and back to causing trouble after being cursed by his own witchcraft, even if he was skilled at breaking his own spells, he definitely possessed formidable abilities.

Cui Mingji nodded, understanding clearly. After all, Kim Sangheon belonged to the anti-peace faction, so it was impossible for Zhou Xian to allow him, a former surrender-to-Qing faction member, to govern Joseon. Having been involved in Joseon's court for so long, he understood this point very well.

The four of them, including Tang Xiaofu, ate as they talked and surprisingly finished all the dishes. After clearing the table, they boiled water, took turns bathing, and then went to sleep.

The proposal to hire a martial arts master was put forward by Zhou Xian to Zhou Zhen, but Zhou Xian admitted to himself that in terms of enthusiasm, he was certainly not as keen as Zhou Tai. It was no wonder he was so pleased to have found such a formidable master now.

Xuefeng took out Judah and sat in the back of the bus with her legs wide open. Judah, however, did not burden the bus at all.

"You are not allowed to insult my father!" Jin Ge clenched his fists, ready to strike him again, but then he heard Pu Qin laughing loudly.

Winters in the south were rainy. Below the highway guardrails, the ground was all soft, muddy silt at the foot of the mountains. They carried heavy equipment, trudging through the mud as they pursued their target.

Indeed, it was so. Xiaoxian smiled triumphantly at Siana beside her, as if to say, "I won."

As she left the pedestrian street, Xuefeng saw the elf captain, who had come searching for lost children, but was now trembling in a corner after witnessing a bloody scene.

"We just received a report that the Spirit Monkey clan, rushing from Xiyun Peak to reinforce Jiangzhou City, has been besieged by the Star Sea Sect at Suicao Rock. The situation is critical." As soon as he spoke, everyone understood the gravity of the matter.

From then on, portraits of Xiao Yue and many other great emperors were enshrined in major families and sects throughout the universe. Xiao Yue's portrait was always hung at the forefront, and people called him "Immortal Xiao," his name etched in eternity.

These three individuals were Blood Demon Grandmaster Sasi Guang, Sword Fiend Li Tianxing, and Six-Eyed True Demon Yu Zhaodi.

"No, you're not from those families. Those families all wear their respective family clothes, but yours doesn't belong to any family!" The old man scrutinized Xiao Yue and then said cautiously.

This statement was actually quite insidious, as it both gave the gunmen at the door the order to fire and, as much as possible, distracted Li Tianchou. Everyone could understand its underlying meaning.

"Pfft..." Li Tianchou spat out a mouthful of noodles, coughing repeatedly. The captain quickly got up, offering tissues and patting his back, appearing even busier than Li Tianchou himself.

As Xiao Yue roamed the universe, he alerted all the major powerful clans, and many saints flew into space to greet him, proclaiming him a Great Emperor. Sages and renowned elders also wished to invite Xiao Yue into their clans to show respect, but he politely declined them all.

However, things did not go as planned; not only did he not lose consciousness, but the pain in his head intensified, making life unbearable.

This courtyard consisted of five main rooms. Although they were thatched huts, they were quite spacious. Zhang Guo, Jiao Yong, and the three young masters of the Hua family occupied the two rooms on the west side, while Madam Hua resided in the room on the east. The central room served as a temporary living room, furnished only with three or five wooden stools and benches. In the kitchen, there was freshly brewed medicine, emitting a strong medicinal scent.

Qin Ming showed no panic at all; his eyes were fixed intently on Chief Wu, observing his reaction.

"When?!" Song Yiyi asked nervously. She had previously felt that the jade bracelet seemed to react, but despite trying many methods, it had shown no response to send her back.

Ye Tianyu's face showed a cold smile. He casually picked up a dagger from the ground, licked the bloodstains from it, and then charged forward like a fierce tiger.

Song Yiyi's vision blurred, and she quickly averted her gaze. "Bastard, what's with constantly exposing yourself? Are you deliberately trying to seduce me?"

"Mom, is there something you're hiding from me? You never used to rush me like this!" Gu Meng looked earnestly at Mother Gu and asked seriously.

Gu Meng's silence and Father Gu's overwhelming accusations left her at a loss for how to explain the rights and wrongs of the past few years. Once some lies begin, it becomes increasingly difficult to undo them.

Claire, having lost everything, would then live a miserable life, reviled by everyone as the sister of the Calamity Elf Princess, worse off even than a beggar.

"Is something wrong?" Ye Tianyu couldn't help but ask. Since Third Brother said so, his appearance must have been out of necessity.

A gentle autumn breeze blew; it was already deep autumn. More than a month had passed since Binglian left, and Zhao Fuxin's wedding was just three days away.

"Officer Wu, why are you talking so much to this criminal? Take him back, interrogate him thoroughly, and everything will naturally become clear." Lin Zhidong interjected, his tone a bit unfriendly, clearly displeased with Wu Anbang's inaction.

"So, if my bowing posture is wrong, will the Buddha not heed my wishes?" Pei Yueyue watched Chen Xing's actions, somewhat dazed, and then, hearing Chen Xing's explanation, she said disappointedly.

Mo Zun didn't even glance at her. He straightened himself, pulled a cigarette from the pack, and the soft click of his lighter was exceptionally clear in the quiet space.

Although Yelu Aoluwo was somewhat displeased with Zhang Bao's "sowing discord," he currently needed Zhang Bao's help, so he couldn't fall out with him over the issue of Western Xia. As for whether he would suffer a great loss from Western Xia in the future, that was his fate, and Zhang Bao couldn't concern himself with that.

Tang Lou's current appearance was that of a dark-skinned young man holding a long sword formed from condensed sword energy, giving him an ethereal, unreal quality.

Over the years, Emperor Jiuyu had stabilized his Golden Immortal realm for many years, but progress remained difficult because early hidden dangers had been causing trouble, trending towards worsening.

During the journey, Jing Hongyan occasionally suggested riding the spirit ox for a stretch, but Tang Lou flatly refused.

However, contrary to Dong Cheng's expectations, the Wusheng Army did not ambush them at Baodu Mountain. Instead, they openly displayed their chariots and horses, lining up in formation at the foot of the mountain, directly blocking Dong Cheng's path.

At this moment, the thatched gate was ajar, letting out a sliver of extremely dim light. The sound inside was faint, footsteps pacing back and forth.

To prevent conflicting orders, Zhang Bao simply had Yelu Aoluwo take all the Liao soldiers from Xijing Dao. He then urgently transferred Xu Guanzhong's unit from the Andong Fifth Army within Song territory. With three contingents of Andong troops stationed in Xijing Dao, Zhang Bao had enough confidence to confront Wanyan Yinshuke, the famous general of the Jin Kingdom.
