102 Reservoir
After an incense stick’s time, Zhang Chen arrived at the platform on the fifth level, where nearly two hundred people were already resting.
When the lid was lifted, the aroma of wine wafted out, causing his eyes to gleam with delight as he eagerly took a gulp.
Zhang Chuntao hesitated briefly, then followed behind He Yan. Upon entering, they were greeted by a screen wall carved with five bats surrounding the character for longevity — the so-called Five Blessings Embracing Longevity.
These were the very men whose Qi Sea Zhang Chen had destroyed that day, and the one speaking was the bearded man.
Eventually, upon learning that Xing Taining and his group planned to stay at the base for a while, waiting for their companions to recover before making further plans, Su Jin only exchanged two thousand crystal cores’ worth of supplies for Xing Taining.
Carrying the basket on his back, Zhang returned to the Zhang family home. Aside from Zhang Dacheng, who was still lying on the kang, everyone else had also come back.
The system was so innocent; previously, it had been criticized only when it spoke, but today, without saying a word, it inexplicably suffered another round of rebuke.
Harboring resentment for long is tiring. Yun Yun had gone to bed late last night. Just now, as her tense nerves gradually relaxed, she unknowingly fell asleep resting her head on Ajige’s arm.
“Lu Hao, what do you think of the environment here? Come with me to have a look!” Su Jin seemed quite pleased.
Stop talking. What else could he do at a time like this? Who should he speak up for, and who shouldn’t he?
Thinking of what Su Mingyang had just done, Lu Bolin gave a meaningful glance, then strode past Su Mingyang and left the Gu family.
“No worries, Gou Di. After all these years roaming Jiangnan, what kind of girl haven’t we fooled? Once we get what we want, they’re like fish on a plate, waiting to be carved up. Turning them around to surrender quietly is just a matter of minutes,” Zhicheng said with a smile.
Mao Leyan looked at him with some pity. Seeing him now so despondent and sorrowful, she warned herself to stay away from love to avoid pain.

The hero known as the Glorious Executioner, though somewhat difficult to master in terms of operation, has a character concept that is very easy to grasp.
Lin Wan’er walked at the forefront, dressed in a shimmering flowing gown that fluttered in the wind. Each step was poised and graceful, yet her eyes revealed a determined killing intent.
Ma Jingwu had intended to use a surge of energy to dispel the surrounding poisonous mist all at once, but unexpectedly, the lightning currents stirred by the energy only intensified the toxicity of the fog.
Leng Xiyue glanced at Bai Fuya but said nothing. After a moment of silence, as if having made up her mind, she rose and knelt before You Yi.
“Returning to grandmother, the customs of Dayong are quite different from those beyond the frontier. This is my first audience with Tianyan, and I wish to admire it fully, so I inquired with a few people here,” Gu Hu smiled and took over the conversation, causing Su Ruhui and others to regard this autumn prince with new respect. The barbarians were not fools; otherwise, they wouldn’t have caused so much trouble for Dayong.
The King of Hell spoke with an unruffled tone of menace, “If the King of Hell orders you to die at midnight, who dares keep you alive until dawn?”
Ye Qing’s Chaos Domain not only completely swallowed these attacks but, more importantly, began to absorb the Chaos Domain itself in an incomprehensible manner, transforming and amplifying these forces and essences.
Wang Haoming’s offered price should be slightly higher than others’, but not ridiculously so. If the owner of the raw material senses nothing amiss, the bid should succeed as planned.
Yet the crown prince avoided the main topic and instead suggested taking him on a tour around Lin’an to enjoy himself.
When you prepare to proceed peacefully through the mundane, time often leaves a surprise around the corner.
This matter was a public conversation between Zeman and Abdullah, so there was no need to conceal it. Li Chen nodded in acknowledgment.
“Su Yinzhen, drive the car to the roadside and hit the guardrail; it will stop,” Qiao Song thought it over, realizing this was the only way—waiting here to die was not an option.
While he went to prepare the props, Bai Nian grabbed her phone and sent a message to Su Mubai. After sending it, the phone died.

Hong Zhao, who had run back, was completely unaffected and even ate more heartily, his face full of smiles.
Fiabi’s achievements were quickly reported back to the United States. At that moment, inside the Pentagon, a group of high-ranking US military officials gathered in a conference room. From their busy smiles, it was clear the war against Japan was nearing victory.
Su Yinan calmly withdrew his hand. “I have a slight fever. After we land, let Linda take you to the hospital for a checkup,” he said matter-of-factly, as if his previous action had been perfectly normal.
“Tong’er knows better; she won’t be as naughty as her brother. She’s grown up but still acts like a child,” Tong’er said with a face full of resentment.
Fortunately, whether the Qingfeng or Yunlong clans, some of their members remained in the empire as a reserve. Now was the time to rely on their strength.
“No, no, no!” Zhu Bi shook her head vigorously. But she forgot that she shared the same bed with Ziwu, so close that when she shook her head, her hair brushed across Ziwu’s chest, causing a tingling sensation. Startled, Zhu Bi froze, too afraid to move.
Finally, she was willing to reveal where she had been during her “disappearance” and what she had done. Ziwu did not interrupt but raised an eyebrow, signaling Zhishan to continue.
Kaguya was extremely nervous. Although she knew this was the best decision for their clan, the anxiety remained.
“He’s not lacking confidence in himself; he clearly doesn’t trust the guards of this Hou mansion,” Feng Qingyao laughed. He must have thought something had happened to him, which is why he hurried over so suddenly.
