Volume One, Chapter 74: I Want to See What the Sea Looks Like

"Are you in a good mood?"
The secretary noticed the smile on Zhang Ziliang’s face and asked in confusion.
"Of course I am. That young man is exactly my kind of person. Haicheng has finally taken the most important step."
Zhang Ziliang laughed heartily.
Since coming to serve in Haicheng, this was the first time he had been so happy.
He would prove with facts that he had come here not for empty power or to idle his days away, but to truly transform Haicheng.
"Spread the word—every department must fully cooperate with Director Meng. Anyone who dares to drop the ball will pack up and leave."
With a sweeping gesture, Zhang Ziliang spoke with commanding authority.
"Yes!"
The secretary, seeing his seriousness, quickly adjusted his attitude.
Haicheng...
Meanwhile, the ball Qin Feng had thrown was promptly bounced aside, rolling across the ground, dust swirling. Qin Feng saw no sign of Mu Ling and looked up into the air.
She hadn't vanished completely; perhaps the job wasn't done cleanly enough. He should return to check again.
At that moment, time froze once more. Qin Feng stared at the three choices presented by the system, uncertain what to do.

In the original story, Shen Lian's father had served in the Qi family army, and later became an officer of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. After Shen Lian’s blade was broken by Ding Baiying, he replaced it with his father’s Embroidered Spring Blade.
On the Tianjin Bridge, the sound of the flute gradually slowed, eventually fading away. In the distance, the musician surnamed Xue bowed to the two, then turned and left.
The seventy-third floor hosted four Combined Realm evil spirits. Yang Shang struck the lower spirit, bursting with confidence, determined not to summon Ran Min, instead choosing to fight alone.
The buildings on the ground dissolved like sand drifting in the wind; the corpses of some police officers and their vehicles faded away as well.
With only three moves, they had acquired nearly two million spiritual stones: over sixty medium-grade stones, four high-grade, and countless secret techniques and practices.
This was precisely the advantage of the mech-warriors—they possessed bodies more resistant to laser guns than the armored generals.
Qin Xufei frowned slightly, walked to the bed, and looked down at the pale, frail man quietly lying there. Nothing else reflected in his eyes.
The power of this sword could easily cleave through a mountain rock. Yet, under this thunderous strike, the piece of mysterious dark gold iron remained intact, only flickering faintly, without even a trace of a cut on its surface.
Ultimately, it was decided he would be promoted one rank, but still stationed at Dingyuan Pass, in charge of all border affairs. King Zhao personally issued a decree of commendation, recorded in the official bulletin, circulated nationwide, instructing all frontier commanders to take him as a model.
"This is for you," Ye Li’s head hung low, so Qin Lang couldn’t see her expression, only noticed she was tightly gripping her phone, delicate and tempting in the night, making his heart race. To cover his feelings, he quickly handed over the necklace box he was holding.
Unless that sword could not take his opponent’s life, or at the last moment, he was silently subdued. His stance remained in the poised position for a killing blow, body stiff as a wooden sculpture, only his eyes darting in terror.
Hei Zi’s words made everyone in the car tense. Mike, the demolition maniac, was now fiddling with his phone. Don’t think it’s just an ordinary phone—it had been meticulously modified by Mike to control bomb detonations.
Perhaps he could take the ground beneath him as well, find a quiet place, and see how to save him. This was certainly not the best place for focused rescue.
None of this affected Lei Jie, who was in high spirits. With a grand gesture, he led the reunited Dragon Knights into the gates of hell.

Though he spoke lightly, deep down he resolved never to leave Fu Hanqing by more than twenty steps from now on.
As Ke Xin predicted, the Min family did not fancy Fei. An Fei was five years older than the Min family’s daughter and only held a scholar’s degree—how could the Min family be interested?
Yue Yao turned to An Zhichen and asked, "Why do outsiders think I came from a brothel?" This puzzled her greatly; even if she was hidden in a private residence, it didn’t necessarily mean she had emerged from such a place.
"Rest assured, sir. My brothers are all comrades who have faced life and death with me, thoroughly tested, and their loyalty is beyond doubt." Qiao Zhi, hearing Wan Qi Yang’s concern, found it reasonable, especially since he despised the eunuch party as well.
"Ah, why must I be so stubborn? What difference does it make whether I have it or not?" At this moment, Elder Tianji’s words were particularly desolate.
Ning Xia’s pale cheeks suddenly flushed pink, and she turned her back sharply. Even so, she failed to escape.
Kong Li might not fight as well as her, but his defense was stronger than she had imagined, and it seemed he could be healed too. Among the players, he was much like those of the Dragon Palace faction. Realizing this, Lin Xi relaxed and focused all her energy on attacking.
"Lao Luo, why hasn’t the ‘Pill King’ sent someone to question us yet?" Now Qi Yunyan held two jade boxes, brimming with confidence, quite eager to see the look on the ‘Pill King’s’ envoy when she gave them a beating.
"You don’t need to worry. We’re all brothers seeking to rely on the young master; our boss is Qiao Zhi." Only when Mountain Bear heard Qiao Zhi’s name did he let his guard down—indeed, he knew about this matter.
At this time, Lian Dongfang was discussing with his confidant, "Who do you think is behind this?" Until the mastermind was caught, Lian Dongfang could not rest easy.
Thus, the powerful true spirit aura released by the thirty men instantly drew sharp, cold gasps from those present.
"Sun Wukong, you still want to escape? Go die with Zhu Bajie!" The White Elephant Demon stretched its trunk toward the Monkey King, and as it opened wide, the trunk grew to several meters across, sucking Sun Wukong toward it.
