Chapter 54 Sleeping with me is also fine

“Stop right there.” Su Mian, though lacking justification, spoke with boldness. She called out to Shang Jiuxu, who had halted but did not turn around. “Where am I staying tonight?”

Shang Jiuxu appeared indifferent, as if it didn’t matter to him where she stayed, but she wanted a clear answer.

“Upstairs, downstairs, the guest room, the master bedroom, or the car,” Shang Jiuxu said without turning, just tilting his head slightly to look at Su Mian. “If you want to sleep with me, that’s fine too.”

How generous of him to say that. It was as if whatever she wanted was utterly inconsequential.

Following Zhang Aoyang’s words, the people behind Lei Zhenghao naturally stirred. Could they really be from the City of Martial War?

Anna, clad in armor, now nearly as tall as Tie Feng, strode forward and stood before him, partially shielding his body, with a faint air of protectiveness.

As Crown Prince Ying Tai was escorted out of the palace, he once more looked skyward in grief and fury. Every word he spoke was filled with piercing pain, moving all who heard him to tears. The tale of his tragic devotion soon spread throughout the land.

As the program progressed, its climax gradually revealed itself. First came the “deadly weapon” foot massage board challenge, where the host and guests split into two teams and ran relays on the board. Comedians like Wong Cho-lam and Chen He delivered standout performances.

If I enter a berserk state here, my chances of defeating Kong Ming will greatly increase. Riding the frenzy, I could slaughter all the hellish creatures around, though it would mean my death. Yet if it saves Anna and the others, it will be worth it.

High above the nine heavens, countless stars shimmer, with the bright moon holding a status second only to the sun in the hearts of the people of Shenzhou. It is one of the two greatest celestial bodies in this world, accompanied by countless ancient legends. The Lord of the Infinite Palace, Meng Jiuqian, named his ultimate technique “Seizing the Moon from the Nine Heavens,” revealing the vastness of his ambition.

This was Cao Ping’s first time attending a launch ceremony. Initially curious and expecting fun, he soon found it dull and was quite disappointed.

At the event’s conclusion came the grand finale. The Knights team would send a player to face off one-on-one in an electrifying duel against a player from the Haifa Maccabi team.

Thinking of this strange place, I had no choice but to endure it for now. I lifted my head, took a deep breath, and forced a smile, trying to keep my voice steady. In this situation—living under someone’s roof—Lin Baibai’s greatest strength was her pragmatism; gathering information was the priority.

“Yes!” The followers of the Zhang family leader shouted in unison. Most charged toward the direction of the Beast Forest, while some searched elsewhere. Since Lin Yun’s last known direction was toward the Beast Forest, that was the most probable destination, but they would not overlook other areas either.

This marked the difference between Ye Lingyu and Ye Lingfeng. Lingfeng preferred open, controllable strategies, while Lingyu favored pure scheming and intrigue. They were polar opposites, which was why Lingyu never approved of Lingfeng’s methods.

Lan Linger escaped danger but turned me into a pawn—Song Yeyu wanted to pursue Lan Linger, but had to pass by where I was on the bamboo raft. I would certainly be treated as a stumbling block and cleared away.

Repeating the calming mantra a hundred times in my mind, even when I got out of the car, my mouth still felt swollen. I kept covering it with my sleeve along the way, which only made Xuan ‘Yu’ and the others more curious about me.

One by one, superstars stepped out of the vehicle—these were figures whose mere footfalls could make Europe tremble.

At that time, the commander of the Verdun Fortress, French General Pétain, was directing two divisions of the garrison and two reinforcements in desperate resistance against the German army. Although the total force was only four divisions, the Germans had pushed six kilometers forward on the first day, but Pétain managed to gradually stabilize their defenses.
