Industrialization, however, encompasses many aspects; it is not limited to iron smelting alone. Some relatively complex machines require a variety of metals and other materials.

“Yes, Lu Feng, don’t misunderstand. I only wanted to see whether Liu Chuan is doing well!” After saying this with a stern expression, Qingcheng Aoxue slammed the door shut and went inside.

Thinking that there might be all sorts of things lurking in these woods, I suddenly felt the wind drilling into me from every opening, making my whole body shiver.

He had not said that there was anything inside that they absolutely had to seek out. He merely analyzed the situation with her. Although Xiao Yun’er still wanted to turn back, seeing how determined Ling Feng was, she could not bring herself to say anything more. However, she would protect him carefully and absolutely would not let him be hurt again.

Ding Feng ran to the bow and looked out. In the distance, a large ship was sailing toward them. Without a doubt, it had come from the direction of Wancheng.

In any case, giving birth within the imperial family was an easy matter. One basically only had to give birth; raising the child was not one’s concern.

Sitting on my own stool, I pondered long and hard before finally making a decision. It was something so terrifying that even I found myself afraid.

If she had not left the Su family back then and had chosen to stay, would she have possessed many times more formal gowns than Su Ruotong did now? What on earth had possessed her to insist on leaving the Su family?

The newcomer was none other than her Third Senior Brother, Lin Yang. Though her Third Senior Brother now looked somewhat listless, he was clearly much better than he had been two days earlier.

Midway through, Madam Xu turned her head and glanced back. In the distance, she saw the masked figure in golden armor fighting bloodily, while wave after wave of enemies surged toward him.

With a loud bang, the sword broke into two pieces. Ran Ran was also knocked backward by the force she had unleashed, stumbling several steps back.

Bai Wuchen suddenly remembered the mission Qiandu had given him: Do not let Ranran marry Dark Night, and do not let the Cultivation Water fall into Dark Night’s hands.

Zombies had already begun wandering about the streets. Some had even tried attacking the doors of the 4S dealership. Fortunately, no large horde had gathered around Qian Qian’s location yet, so the situation was still relatively favorable.

With a furious roar, it suddenly snapped the vines binding its two forelegs. Its enormous body actually rose onto its hind legs, and as both feet came down, it prepared to trample the green bamboo once more.

“Damn Li Yu,” Yao Xinluo cursed through clenched teeth. “Even dead, she is still causing trouble for Li Heng.”

No, he absolutely had to explain everything clearly to the old Third-Generation man. He was on vacation and should never have been sent on a mission in the first place.

It was merely a fabricated name. Did one really need authorization to use it? Kazehaya Kamito could not possibly be Ren Ashbell now, so what was wrong with someone else using the name?

The heart-shaped object floated in midair, and the clan leader reached out and caught it. Held in both his hands, it was as large as his two palms put together. He stared at it in astonishment, filled with doubt. Was this... his child?

Heathcliff had not expected anyone to summon such a demon. A high-level demon of this sort was already infinitely close to boss level.

As the multicolored light appeared, Luo Yuan and Feng Yu both shuddered violently, their gazes turning vacant. Yes, they had been hypnotized.

Frost had crystallized along the figure’s swordlike brows, but the figure had no intention of removing it. Instead, it allowed the frost to spread from the eyebrows across the entire body.

Yet who could have imagined that beneath such a bright and beautiful appearance lay a heart as venomous as a snake or scorpion’s?

Once she entered the conservatory, Pei Zhitong finally felt comfortable all over, as though she had stepped into spring.

Xu Biao said, “Good. Your father will avenge you and wipe away your grievances!” With that, the blade in Xu Biao’s hand came crashing down toward the commandery princess’s head. Yet just as the Golden-Backed Mountain-Breaking Saber was about to strike her, it simply would not descend any farther. Xu Biao himself was utterly dumbfounded.

Suddenly, a faint radiance appeared before him. As time passed, the light grew dazzlingly bright. Ye Fan kept his eyes tightly shut, not daring to open them.

Although it could not compare with Campbell Manor, it was slightly larger than the ordinary villas of later generations.

After Jiang Zhansheng left, Pei Zhitong waited at the doorway for quite some time. Judging that Jiang Zhansheng had probably reached home, she leisurely made her way toward his house.

“I heard that you have soft armor here, sir. I need it urgently and would like to buy a set,” He Qingwei said directly.

What astonished Wang Yifeng, however, was that although Pei Zhao was clearly at an absolute disadvantage, there was not the slightest trace of tension on his face. Instead, he looked almost as though he had heaved a sigh of relief.

If anyone heard Tang Li say this, they would certainly be shocked beyond belief and remain stunned for a long while.

The cool stream water ceaselessly rushed against the stones in the channel. Many of the stones were exceptionally smooth, giving off a faint glow. Wisps of fine mist lingered in the air, splashing against the surrounding rocks and filling the scene with vibrant life.

I thought about it and realized she was right. A twenty percent reduction in attributes was far too significant! At least the flying ability could be used to escape with one’s life.

Hua Ying smiled. “You know I won’t answer. What is the point of asking so many questions?” She continued, “The antidote is on me now. Do you dare come out and take it?” Her eyes and brows held a distinct note of provocation.

The Crown Prince was stunned by the sudden slap. Nangong Yier seized the opportunity to rush to the door and open it, only to find that it was still locked. Despair immediately flooded her heart.

The martial arena was bustling with people, every bit as lively as the Young Cultivators’ Tournament, except that there were no cheers. A high platform had likewise been erected in the center of the arena. Two people were fighting fiercely upon it, trading blows back and forth. Ah Ye and the others could all see that Samir was at a disadvantage, his situation perilous. Who could possibly cheer at a time like this?

Brilliant stars filled the sky, while the not-quite-full moon hung high overhead, casting a faint glow. Although the celestial signs clearly indicated that tomorrow would be bright and sunny, the early-spring night was still bitterly cold. It was only a little after ten, yet there were already few pedestrians on the road, lending the scene a desolate air.

Chen Yi naturally agreed to such an event at once. Ordinary methods of combat were no longer what he wanted, and he could even obtain a set of equipment belonging to him, though he had no idea which pieces it would include.
