Chapter 161: The Fishman Pirates

Hearing Naruto's question, a flash of complex emotion instantly crossed Nami's eyes.

She lowered her gaze slightly, pressing her lips together in a firm line, and offered no reply.

Instead, she simply looked silently into the distance. The vast, boundless ocean sparkled beneath the sunlight, while her inner thoughts churned like the undulating waves.

The sunlight fell softly upon the earth, yet its warm rays seemed unable to pierce the heavy atmosphere lingering in the air.

Old Tree Bark lowered his head again to examine more closely. After a few moments, he thrust his hand directly into Xilong's head, his hand entering without the slightest resistance. When he pulled his hand back, Xilong's head moved slightly and he let out a soft groan.

Pamies's expression seemed to stiffen slightly, not due to the oppressive aura of Yagami, but from a sudden sense of bewilderment.

From then on, the battle line of the Liaodong Army had advanced to the Meizhou and Ziyang region, seizing the initiative on the Sichuan battlefield. In early November, Li Weizheng, in his capacity as the Grand Commandant of the Five Armies, ordered Zhang Yi, the garrison commander of Hanzhong, to lead a massive army southward to rendezvous with the Liaodong Army at Chengdu.

Speaking of the steel plant, the only thing that pleased Liu Ye was that the biogas digester in the Grand Capital was operating quite well. Currently, the ten biogas digesters could generate roughly eighty to one hundred degrees of electricity per day. While that was a bit meager for powering a steel mill, it was more than enough to keep the furnaces and grinding wheels running.

Yagami untied the water skin he carried behind him and poured some water onto Rock's face and forehead.

That official scrambled to his feet, crying out, "I am going to summon His Majesty!" and scurried in a panic toward the inner palace.

Cao Sen snatched the cell phone and admired himself in the photographs. Damn it, he looked gorgeous—why hadn't he touched himself a bit more back then? Having Jingzhe as a lover meant Cao Sen could never forgive himself for having an affair, but self-admiration carried no psychological burden. What a waste; he shouldn't have rushed to change back into a man.

"You're coming to the principal's office with me, too. School rules forbid puppy love—did you not know? Carrying on a romance right here in school, what kind of behavior is this—" The mathematics teacher grabbed Tong Jing's arm with her other hand and dragged her off to the principal's office as well.

Accompanied by that slightly elevated voice, the two of them ceased their movements. Once finished, both Liu Ye and Xi Liuyan averted their eyes from each other, hurriedly dressed, and—pretending as though nothing whatsoever had happened—swam back toward Nan Tiancheng and the others.

About five minutes passed before the territory finally regained its tranquility. The rising dust had yet to disperse, as if recounting the scene that had just transpired, while the emotions of everyone present remained stirred for a long time.

"Competition looks fierce this year," Leorio muttered, lying on the deck with a somewhat gloating tone.

Perhaps the heavens felt Genthru's anxious state of mind, arranging things so smoothly that departure was possible the very same day, with arrival on the next.

Following that, both sides reached numerous agreements, and for a time, the host and guests shared an indescribably harmonious atmosphere.

She had investigated him thoroughly; this fellow was utterly useless and could practically be said to lack a single redeeming quality.

Amidst the casters' various speculations and conjectures, the ten members of Team JDG and Team RNG officially descended into Summoner's Rift.

Lin Ziyun shuddered involuntarily. This Huataoyao was an enchanting fairy; when she turned this gentle, which man could possibly withstand it? Shielding Zijuan's innocent eyes with his hand, Lin Ziyun hurriedly steered clear of the topic.

"Oh, Your Majesty, are you referring to my little brother? Hahaha, you are far too polite; he just had some milk and fell asleep ages ago," a nearby princess said upon hearing Tim's remark, instantly failing to suppress her laughter.

They sat cross-legged right there, just a few kilometers outside the city walls, within plain sight of everyone.

Looking down, Lin Ziyun saw Qin Tianhe nestled in his arms and gazing up at him. His heart skipped a beat, and he loosened his grip. Qin Tianhe dropped flat on his rear, wailing endlessly. The truth was, the posture of the two of them had been far too ambiguous and prone to wild imagination.
