Chapter 43: Man proposes, Heaven disposes!

A rocket, over ten meters in length, trailed a long plume of fire as it slammed into the gaping maw of the giant mechanical lifeform, followed by a violent explosion.

Wu Daozi felt uneasy under the collective gaze of Xu Wuyou and the others. He offered a defense, making his intent clear: he would absolutely not be the first to jump. He went as far as to use his age as an excuse, showing just how desperate he was.

Inside the command center of the *Morning Star*, the massive screen covering the entire wall displayed a holographic projection of the planet Hebron. On the side of the planet turned away from the sun, a patch of the deep blue starry sky suddenly seemed to solidify, taking on the texture of a polished mirror.

Opening the glass door to the bathroom, he paused to survey the room. His field of vision revealed a vast space, completely empty, with the tub built of frosted stone already filled with clear water. He closed the door behind him and walked straight to the faucet to turn it on, rinsing his hair.

Years had passed, and the old woman’s hair had grown noticeably whiter. Yet, her spirit was more vibrant than ever, her eyes particularly keen and piercing. The two thugs watched her with delight, reaching out to drape their arms over her shoulders.

In truth, Erica was not here to support Elurome; she was here purely to watch the show.

Shen Shi recounted everything he knew. Whether it was relevant or not, it served as a precaution.

Hearing the words of the Xue family members, Chen Xiangfu felt a slight sense of relief. Ling Hao was her only reliance now, and being grateful for his intervention, she naturally did not want to see him fail.

Ju Zhidong dared not be negligent; he was ready to empty his entire fortune to compensate Guangyi. After all, money could be earned again, but if he were imprisoned or killed, there would be no chance to spend it.

"So, you’re saying you know how to perform the surgery? Come on, how do you need me to proceed?" Lin Ai asked immediately.

He had assumed Old Lady Dong had told Le Fan the whole truth. Now, seeing Le Fan’s reaction, he realized that Le Fan knew nothing of his own origins.

Xiaoyaozi’s whisper, soft as the hum of a fly, sounded clearly in Long Chen’s ear. Turning around, he saw the familiar figure of Xiaoyaozi emerging from the ground.

Xiaoyaozi walked joyfully toward Yang Feng and Moyun, who were also approaching Lian Zhu Pao. The three met amidst the throng of people.

After hundreds of exchanges, Ling Feng had carved countless gashes into the Void Demon Turtle. Great sprays of blood soaked the earth of the Demon-Suppression Battlefield. The battle shifted from the sky to the ground, leaving everything in their wake as desolate as if a hurricane had torn through.

"Go in and see for yourselves!" Ximen Jinlian said, finally relieved as she pointed toward the room.

Other than stopping for food, fuel, and restrooms, he did not even stay at hotels. When he grew sleepy, he simply rested in the car. It could be said that apart from the license plate number, there was no trace of Le Fan to be found.

After the matter was resolved, the villagers, feeling deeply apologetic for attacking the Red Army due to a misunderstanding, were exceptionally welcoming of Shao Fei and his men. They vacated over twenty rooms for the soldiers to stay in, and thus, the troops settled into the village.

"Master, please accept this disciple’s—" The man knelt on one knee, just about to pay his respects, when Old Man Feng caught his arm.

"Princess, this is your territory. What do you think I could possibly do to you?" My blade was pointed at Bai Lan’s left chest.

Forced by circumstance, she lowered the flying shuttle and helped Mo Qiaoyi walk side by side across the snow, leaving two trails of footprints behind them.

"If Mom can consider my words, then I’ll be relieved." Ji Nuanxin did not intend for her mother to let go just yet, as she knew that was impossible for her mother at the moment.

Seeing Han Shaoxun acting as if he were facing a grave enemy, Chen Weitian comforted him, saying the doctor was just fear-mongering and urging him to believe that the child would be fine.

She was unable to resist, nor did she have the strength to, and in that setting, she was forcefully kissed. She stared at him with wide eyes.

Her heart pounded wildly. Di Renjie, still in the mood to watch her with narrowed eyes, moved his tongue rhythmically in her mouth, forcing a few threads of translucent saliva to slide down the corner of Ruan Meng’s lips.

As for Zhang Ruofeng, he never appeared on camera alone throughout the program; he had effectively gone into hiding.

Just as Bai Muya was about to leave, Xiao Yan emerged from Ji Xinliang’s room.

Although beer was not intoxicating, they had both consumed a fair amount. Watching Huo Siyan laugh happily beside him, Lin Mu suddenly felt an inexplicable surge of irritation.

He had worked at Chu-Han Film and Television for nearly three years, risking his life alongside the President, but he had never seen anyone bring a partner to an audition.

In an instant, Roland suddenly became somewhat excited. Perhaps she could use this Director Lin to get rid of this girl.

The Yinglong was not human, but a white dragon with four claws and two wings; it could fly and possessed the power to control water.

The original purpose for establishing the Dongsheng Sect was to cultivate talent for the eleven supreme races and to guard the Dongsheng Divine Continent.

Having been famished for a long time and accustomed to the various snacks Zhang Donghai brought over, Long Zhanguo was highly susceptible to temptation.

The moment Qiu Sheng finished speaking, his face and body began to crack and pop; in the blink of an eye, he had transformed into someone Tang Feng did not recognize.

"If you’re worried, you can come along. Since there are so many people outside wanting to kill the Master, you coming with us saves us from having to fight them," the platoon leader said.

The more Chang Gui thought about it, the more excited he became. If he possessed a spiritual treasure and advanced to an Earth Immortal, he might not be able to defeat a Heaven Immortal, but he would at least be able to escape. That would instantly elevate his status at home.

"Sorry to disturb you, Steward." When Xiuning emerged, she was impeccably dressed, sporting a new hairstyle and wearing her finest clothes, which she usually feared staining.

No one knew if Wei Lanying’s actions were born of genuine affection for Xiao Yunfei or if she was merely using these appearances to bewilder him for the sake of revenge. At the very least, Xiao Yunfei believed it was the latter.

Su Mianmian lay listlessly on the bed, looking as if she were waiting for death. Because her period had just started, the flow was light; she had just put on thick underwear, so there was no danger of staining the sheets.

"Ah Mo, take a look at these five. It took me a great deal of effort to scout them from all over the country!" Helian Min was in high spirits, showing none of the humility expected of a defeated nation.
