Chapter 47: Bus 404 (16)
[If you're talking, why are you leaning in so close?!]
[Is he trying to seduce him? He totally is, right, right, right!]
[I want to tease my wife too, dammit.]
Noticing the tips of his wife's ears turning a delicate pink, Meng Zimu chuckled in a low, raspy voice with a mischievous glint in his eyes. He deliberately breathed his warm, humid breath against him, teasing his easily embarrassed wife.
Look, how could anyone blame him for lacking self-control?
It was simply that his wife was too adorable. He loved him so much, and no matter how many times he kissed him, it never felt like enough.
Jiang Sheng-
Realizing that the other party no longer deigned to pay attention to them, Hatian Chang also proved to be a clever man. Seeing the situation, he hurriedly bowed respectfully to Ouyang Yuye, and then vanished into thin air along with the remaining two people.
After everyone had finished chatting and grown quite familiar with one another, Zhou Zhengxiang exchanged a glance with Xu Linyuan, then rose first to take his leave.
As for the vacant steel-framed shed, Liu Yi had his own plans for it. With several dozen employees now working on the orchard, aside from the honey house occupied by the bees, Liu Yi intended to knock down all the partition walls of the former laboratories to create one massive space. It would undoubtedly make a wonderful storage area for the upcoming citrus harvest.
"That way, we will take the entire commandery of Tianhe and trap that city of Jicheng tightly within our grasp. They have to eat, after all. There are no farmland plots inside Jicheng. When the time comes, if they don't surrender, we'll simply starve them out," Mei Hua chuckled merrily.
"Brother Yitian is truly someone beyond our imagination," the Seeker of Veins and the King of Treasures praised with sincere admiration.
During the subsequent military reorganization, the designation of the New First Army was stripped away, and it was restructured into the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Armies. Although the Eighteenth Army retained the majority of the former New First Army's personnel, this came as a profound humiliation to veteran generals like Cui Chengxiu.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the 88th Division of the Nineteenth Army is fully battle-ready. Please issue your command, Your Majesty," the young divisional commander, fully armored, stood before Gao Yuan and reported in a resounding, excited voice.
"Very well. Twenty years from now, we shall have our successors fight a duel, and I guarantee you will lose miserably." Feng Shan wasn't foolish; he didn't have any successor to speak of, so by deliberately setting the date twenty years into the future, he would have ample time to slowly find a successor and groom him properly. By then, he wouldn't necessarily lose to Mosangsheng's successor.
In Baojing, Wu Ya employed the exact same tactic as Mei Hua, luring the reinforcements from Shahe right into the Second Army's encirclement and devouring them whole in one gulp. As for the Battle of Shahe, he remained completely clueless.
Originally, given Yang Guang's temperament, he would have directly charged in with a couple of lackeys to scout things out, refusing to believe anyone could stop him. However, circumstances had changed; the Five Princes had secretly returned to the imperial capital, and their covert gathering place within the capital was the Welcome Pavilion.
Finally, amidst the lengthy wait of the crowd, Zheng Jinshan—who had once swaggered with unbridled arrogance during the parent-teacher meeting—walked up to a spot one meter behind Nalan Changsheng, cold sweat streaming down his face.
Xiao Yue and Lin Mutian also arrived at the edge of the arena at that moment. Gazing toward the platform, they saw blood staining every inch of it, a clear testament to how fiercely contested the previous battle had been.
The Crimson Flame Beast and Tiemu Yun each swallowed a medicinal pill before soaring straight up into the sky. Known as Concealment Pills, as the name suggested, their purpose was to mask one's aura. This was the first genuinely useful medicinal pill Tiemu Yun had successfully refined.
For instance, a balanced diet and proper nutritional intake could only strengthen their immune systems and keep their bodies healthier; it did not possess any miraculous weight-loss properties.
Gao Chong merely smiled. Old Qian asked him whether he had managed to come up with any matching lines. Gao Chong mentioned these counter-couplets along with "Fork-troubled Han Domain Hook," pointing out their inherent flaws, which left their Young Master Qian gasping in a mixture of disbelief and awe, while simultaneously gaining a deeper appreciation for the boundless talent of the eldest young master of the Gao family.
Zhao Jing felt she truly had no strength left to argue with this man any longer. Therefore, she had no desire to speak and simply wanted to get away from his side as quickly as possible.
