History's Strongest Son-In-Law Living With The In-Laws

Chapter 508

508 Shen lang versus Pavilion master Zuo Ci! Perfect rise!

Shen lang was reading Zhang Yuyin’s notes. It was extremely detailed about how she was captured and brought to the sky-Sea Pavilion’s underground city headquarters. The wind direction, echoes, vibrations, and light rays were all written clearly. Of course, there were still many words scoffing at him. No wonder he had to write.

Moreover, she planned to hand in the notes in different batches. Furthermore, she wanted to hand it to Shen lang face to face. It was said to be top secret and could not pass through anyone else’s hands.

Shen lang, can I ask you a question? ” Zhang Yuyin said. She was actually wearing a cheongsam.

The cheongsam that Shen lang designed was not popular as not many women liked to wear it. However, Zhang Yuyin managed to look like a goddess when she wore it.

“You can ask.” Shen lang said.

it’s a coincidence, ” Zhang Yuyin said. you obtained Dragon’s regret by chance.

This was not what Shen lang told her because the words ” Dragon’s regret ” were engraved on the fake destructive arrow on the firing device.

Shen lang nodded and said,”yes, it’s a coincidence.” &Nbsp;

“But according to your plan, it should be inevitable for Ning Han to lead the destruction fleet to attack you,” Zhang Yuyin said.

“Yes!” Shen lang nodded.

Shen lang had said before that before the decisive battle in Tian Yue city, they must be prepared for the next battle. Otherwise, they could not start the battle. If he didn’t get the Dragon’s regret, he would postpone the decisive battle in Tian Yue city until he was confident in the battle with Ning Han’s fleet.

“If you didn’t get the Dragon’s regret, how do you plan to defeat Ning Han’s fleet of destruction?” Zhang Yuyin asked. You can’t possibly win if you rely on normal martial strength.”

“Yes, but it’s a secret.” Shen lang nodded.

Without Dragon’s regret, did Shen lang have any other plans?

Of course, he did. Moreover, the plan was in the great Devil’s Triangle. He would use a million sea monsters to destroy the Ninghan fleet. However, that would require 11 to take action. However, Shen lang was not willing to do that. He hoped that his baby 11 could grow without any worries. Moreover, it would be a destructive blow to his sea, and the great Devil’s Triangle would also suffer terrible damage.

Zhang Yuyin didn’t probe further, but asked, ” “Did you learn anything from my notes? Can you tell where the sky-Sea Pavilion’s underground city is?”

Shen lang shook his head and said,”there is too little information.” &Nbsp;

Zhang Yuyin walked over and sat on the armrest of Shen Lang’s chair. She asked, ” “Is there anything you don’t understand that I need to explain?”

“Not at the moment.” Shen lang said.

yes, I’ll continue to recall. Once I remember something, I’ll continue to write notes and hand them to you. Said Zhang Yuyin. Then, she suddenly leaned over and kissed Shen Lang’s face, ” “Don’t move. You seem to have a strand of white hair. I’ll help you pull it out.”

Then, she leaned over and placed her chest on Shen Lang’s face. She pulled out a strand of Shen Lang’s hair.

Oh, I’m sorry. This isn’t white hair. It’s just an illusion caused by the sunlight.

At that moment, Zhang Chunhua pushed the door open and entered the room. With a stern expression, she said, ” “Your Majesty, there’s an important matter.”

Zhang Yuyin did not panic. She elegantly stood up from the armrest of Shen Lang’s chair and said, ” “Your Majesty, I’ll continue writing the report then.”

When Shen lang walked out of the door, Zhang Chunhua walked to Zhang Yuyin and whispered, ” “Teacher, although you have never taught me, don’t forget that you are my teacher.”

“What’s the matter?” Zhang Yuyin asked softly. Although I’m your teacher, I’m only twenty-nine years old. I’m only one or two years older than you.”

don’t waste your energy, ” Zhang Chunhua said. my man won’t want you. He can’t tolerate any other woman.

........................

“The Scout from stupa mountain has confessed, but he doesn’t know much.” we’ve already gotten most of the information, ” Zhang Chunhua said. it’s been turned into a report, and it’s in Princess Hila’s hands. Only you have the right to see it.

Shen lang nodded and continued to walk towards the underground cell. These observers from the Supreme forces were very stubborn, and they had undergone special training. Even if they used truth-telling serums, they would be able to tell the truth. Therefore, Hila and the others tortured them for more than ten days, day and night, using everything.

In the end, they couldn’t help but confess after using the truth-telling serum and the nightmare stone’s electric shock, and even destroying their brain nerves.

“Is there Dragon’s regret on stupa mountain?” Shen lang asked.

The observer from stupa mountain seemed to have entered a state of madness. He shook his head and said, ” “Yes, yes, yes.”

Shen lang said,”where?” Did you find it in the ancient ruins in the southern sea?”

“Yes, yes, yes,” The observer from stupa mountain said.

“Then, did you obtain the authority?” Shen lang asked.

“I don’t know. I don’t think so.” The observer from stupa mountain said.

“Where is the Dragon’s regret?” Shen lang asked.

The observer from stupa mountain replied,”I don’t know, I don’t know ...”

Shen lang said,”where’s Wu Tuzi?” Where is she?”

“He’s been imprisoned,” the observer from stupa mountain replied.

“Where are they imprisoned?” Shen lang asked.

The observer from stupa mountain said, ” he was first imprisoned in the resting Island of the stupa sea. Then, he was taken away by Ying Wuming. I don’t know where he went.

“What did stupa mountain find in the ancient ruins in the southern sea?” Shen lang asked.

The observer from stupa mountain said, ” many, many, many. We’ve struck it rich. This time, our mountain elder will no longer be attending the Supreme power conference. We no longer need the conference to distribute our resources. Hahaha.

“What’s the most important thing you found?” Shen lang asked.

The observer from stupa mountain seemed to have a mental breakdown as he said in a deranged manner, ” very good, continue, continue, hahahahaha!

he has undergone special mental training, ” Princess Hila said helplessly. that’s why he lied to us many times during the interrogation. We had no choice but to destroy his brain and nerves. So, he’s almost crazy now.

“How did you guys do it?” Shen lang said.

Hila pulled out another observer, took out two needles, and stabbed them into his brain. She then connected them to the nightmare stone device and turned on the switch.

When Hila pulled out the needle again, the observer from Tongtian temple laughed strangely and said, ” “Again, I want more, I want more Yingluo.”

this person has already gone crazy. He’s crippled. Hila said, ” this person will be used as an experimental subject for our special interrogation. Because the Tongtian temple is the weakest, there should not be any valuable information. We will be careful with the following captives and try to get as many confessions as possible.

Shen lang was speechless. This world was too realistic. The heavenly temple was the last supreme power, and even his captives were not worth much. How could they be destroyed like this?

..................

The next day!

Your Majesty, the first step of the Watt plan has succeeded. We have built the first steam engine. A scholar came to report.

Shen lang could not help but be extremely excited. He stood up and said, ” “Quick, take me out to have a look.”

In the underground laboratory, Shen lang saw the first steam engine. It was not easy, and almost half a year had passed. This steam engine was completely handmade. It was the fruit of the work of dozens of scholars and hundreds of craftsmen.

This steam engine was completely different from the first one in Earth’s history. It was designed for airships from the beginning. The steam engine and the propeller could control the direction of the hot air balloon. It was no longer passive like the wind.

Of course, helium was the most suitable for an airship. It was very light and inert, so it was not easy to react and explode like hydrogen. Shen lang also knew the principle of helium extraction. Crude helium could be extracted from natural gas by using a compressor. Moreover, places with oil were usually accompanied by natural gas. However, it was impossible for Shen lang to extract helium with his current industrial power.

Of course, filling the airship with methane was also possible. Methane was much easier to obtain, and a Marsh could do it, but it was too dangerous and could explode easily. It was not as good as ammonia. Although it was poisonous, it was not easy to explode because its ignition point was more than 600 degrees Celsius. Although it was more troublesome to extract, it was at least much better than helium.

Therefore, in Shen Lang’s airship plan, he planned to use ammonia as the first batch.

“Your Majesty, please take a look.” The scholar said. He directly lit the fish oil, and a moment later, the steam engine began to operate. After going through various devices, the water vapor began to push the propeller, getting faster and faster.

we used aluminum to build the steam engine, but because its melting point is too low, we used other steel structures in the combustion chamber. According to the weight of this steam engine, it’s as heavy as an airship. “And because we have the plasma flame of the nightmare stone, we can create the best propeller blades,” the scholar said.

Shen lang saw the most contradictory machine in front of him. The extremely backward steam engine was equipped with a super advanced propeller.

“Well done, you need a reward.” Shen lang said, ” however, this mech is still too big. It should be at least three times smaller. It would be best if it was ten times smaller.

yes, Your Majesty, ” the scholar replied. we’re confident in reducing it by three times because we’ve constantly found mistakes during the manufacturing process. It will save us a lot of detours when we’re making it again.

Shen lang said, ” send more people to research on the new steam engine. Try to create a large steam engine that can be used on the warship as soon as possible. Even if it can’t be used as the main power of the warship at the beginning, it should be used as a secondary power.

“Yes, Your Majesty,”

........................

Today was destined to be a good day. In the morning, Shen lang saw the first mature steam engine, and in the afternoon, he saw an even more important weapon, a gun!

Of course, it was not a rifle. Even though the principle of a rifle was not much more complicated than that of a rifling gun, it was too troublesome to mass produce bullets. Furthermore, the accuracy required was extremely high. Shen Lang’s workshop still relied heavily on manpower. It could be used to produce cannonballs, but it was not cost-effective to produce bullets. Furthermore, there was not enough manpower. It would be difficult to mass produce modern metal-shell bullets with specialized machines.

That was why the guns that were now available were paper muskets!

It was a cardboard bomb, which was a cardboard package of primer, propellant, and warhead. Although it sounded outdated, the power was actually not bad. As Shen lang used the powerful smokeless explosive, the head was even more powerful. It was made of copper. In order to deal with the secret armies of the Supreme forces, they could even plate a layer of tungsten on the head. Anyway, there was only a little tungsten on the tip of the head, so they did not have to worry about damaging the rifling.

Not only that, due to the appearance of the nightmare stone device, it could easily release plasma flames at an alarming temperature. Also, due to the existence of tungsten steel, the best screw tap could be made. Therefore, all these guns were made from seamless steel pipes, and all of them were rifling guns. Although they could not fire continuously, their power was enough to make a gun, and it was more powerful than most bows and arrows. Most importantly, they could be mass-produced and equipped in large quantities.

Of course, its power was still far from the ancient bow and arrow, but how many of them were there?

bang, bang, bang, bang, bang! after a series of crisp sounds like fried beans, more than a dozen long guns opened fire.

Your Majesty, our Inferno spear is very accurate. It’s far better than the bow and arrow. Its effective range is more than three hundred meters, which is also far better than the bow.

a skilled soldier can fire a shot every three seconds. Because they used the highest grade of steel, the nightmare stone device, and the best graters, there’s very little error and the possibility of the fire leaking is also relatively low.

a total of 30 samples, a total of 3000 test shots, prove that this type of flaggun can be directly equipped on the battlefield.

Shen lang nodded and was about to test fire a gun. However, Hila snatched it from him and said, ” “It’s the same if I test it,”

Although the structure of the fire gun was very precise and there was no risk of the fire leaking out, it was better to be safe than sorry. What if Shen Lang’s fragile and handsome face was burned?

Your Majesty, we’ve made a special fire gun for you by hand. It’s made of copper shell bullets. Please accept it. A master craftsman at the side presented the Imperial spear.

After Shen lang took it, he realized that it was not a gun. It was completely a work of art, and there was even a layer of gold on it. There was even a Dragon carved on it, and there were even some glowing words on it-great Qian’s spear.

..............................

Shen lang was studying the Dragon’s power launcher because it was too huge. It was tens of meters wide and weighed more than 200000 pounds. If it could be minimized, it would be super awesome. It didn’t need too many. Even if it was controlled to be less than 30000 pounds, it could be placed on the warship. Moreover, it could fire anything, including cannonballs that weighed thousands of pounds.

Shen lang thought about it for a long time and realized that it was not possible. He only had one set of dragon power, and he did not have any spare parts to assemble a second set, let alone miniaturize it.

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”

“Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang!” Suddenly, a hurried Bell rang outside.

Immediately after, Chou Yao ‘er and da Sha rushed over. Li qianqiu, Xue Yin, Zhong chuke, and the other martial grandmasters did not even have the time to walk. They immediately climbed up the wall and headed towards Shen Lang’s room.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Princess Dora and the other 15 Special Forces Warriors in ancient equipment leaped tens of meters into the air and quickly spread out around Shen Lang’s room.

“Prepare the air defense crossbows!”

“Prepare the anti-aircraft artillery!”

“All ancient bows and arrows, get ready!”

“Get the ancient crossbows ready!”

fire! Fire! Fire!

“Prepare the Dragon power launcher!”

When Shen lang heard these sounds, he was stunned. What kind of enemy did Yingying have?

He actually used all of his powerful weapons?

“I’m just going to take a look.” Shen lang walked to the window and looked out.

In the end, they only found one enemy?

What the f * ck, there’s only one enemy, and you actually use the posture of an Army of thousands? Furthermore, he was going to use the power of the Dragon device soon. He only authorized three people to use it: Chou Yao ‘er, Hila, and Dora. Even if an Army of 100000 came, there was no need for such a shocking formation.

However, Shen lang soon realized that it was necessary. This was because the person who had arrived was too invincible. He had arrived on a White Eagle.

As the rain of air-defense crossbows shot over, the countless arrows seemed to meet a wall of air and were deflected.

Hundreds and thousands of ancient arrows and Hellfire arrows lost their momentum before they even reached the sea.

Shen Lang’s anti-air artillery was just a delayed bomb. It would explode automatically when it was fired into the air. However, when the cannonballs were still hundreds of meters away from the incoming enemies, they all plunged into the sea.

In the end, Hila used her Dragon’s power to fire a giant Cannonball, but before it hit the man, he seemed to have moved a few hundred meters in the air riding on the White Eagle. Not only did he flash by himself, but he even brought his Eagle with him?

boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom! the huge Cannonball exploded in the air. Flames shot up into the sky within a radius of a few hundred meters. The power was already very shocking.

But in the next moment, the person riding the White Eagle appeared a few hundred meters away, floating in the air.

This person’s power had exceeded Shen Lang’s understanding. He knew that this person must have ancient equipment, and it was the kind that had its own energy and did not need an energy control Center. But even so, this person was extremely powerful, and all the weapons in raging tide city were helpless against him.

retreat! Shen lang ordered, ” everyone, retreat and hide behind cover. Switch to the second Wanwan annihilation bomb!

As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked. The No. 1 annihilation bomb was a Black Death bomb. Shen lang had never used the No. 2 annihilation bomb before. It was something that he had obtained from the ruins of The Lost Country. This bomb did not explode, and it could kill 1000 people and cause 800 losses to the user. It did not distinguish between friend and foe, and it could ignore any armor’s defense. Furthermore, it would take a long time to clean up after it was used. It might not even be able to clean up, and there would be endless trouble. Furthermore, its killing range was very small. However, it was extremely destructive to an individual.

Therefore, from the moment he created it, Shen lang did not plan to use it. It was almost a suicidal move. However, such a powerful enemy had appeared, and Shen lang had no choice but to use it. Furthermore, baby one and the others were not here, so he was not afraid of hurting them.

Mr. Shen lang, I am Zuo Ci from the sky-Sea Pavilion. Can we talk? ” A sound entered Shen Lang’s ears, and it only entered his ears.

Zuo Ci? It was Pavilion master Zuo Ci of the sky-Sea Pavilion. One of the top experts in the world had come personally?

I won’t go near raging tide city. Let’s talk here. “You can use your normal voice, I can hear you,” Zuo Ci said.

We’re already a few thousand meters apart, and you can still hear me? Aren’t you a little too awesome?

Shen lang hesitated for a moment and then walked to the top of the castle. Since it was a negotiation between the leaders of both sides, it had to be classy.

Thus, Zuo Ci rode the White Eagle and floated in the air while Shen lang stood on the highest point of the castle. The two of them were talking to each other from a few thousand meters away.

Shen lang, we don’t have any personal grudges. Pavilion master Zuo Ci said.

I think so, ” Shen lang said. you brought my wife to the sky-Sea Pavilion to test my identity.

“If I remember correctly, she didn’t suffer any losses,” Pavilion master Zuo Ci said.”And if I say that I didn’t know about it beforehand, would you believe me?”

Shen lang believed that. Pavilion master Zuo Ci had spent almost all his energy on exploring the ancient ruins and did not care about other matters. Many people even said that he was a long-distance Leader and was not in the sky-Sea Pavilion most of the time.

I’m talking about His Majesty Jiang Li. “At least the sky-Sea Pavilion didn’t play a big role in the death of Emperor Jiang Li,” Pavilion master Zuo Ci said.

Shen lang had no idea about this part of history as it was too secretive.

Mr. Shen lang, actually, the sky-Sea Pavilion still has a lot of power. We only need to mobilize the top-tier martial arts Legion to attack your raging tide city. “Of course, it’s a little boring for me to say this, but I think it’s necessary to make it clear to avoid any misjudgment,” Pavilion master Zuo Ci said.

“I believe in that,” Shen lang nodded.

you’re not our biggest opponent. Do you understand that? ” Pavilion master Zuo Ci said.

The sky-Sea Pavilion’s biggest enemy was stupa mountain, not Shen lang. Moreover, the sky-Sea Pavilion’s main fleet had been completely annihilated. Although stupa mountain was shocked, they would probably be secretly happy.

In the last battle of tianyue city, the sky-Sea Pavilion had suffered little losses. This time, the Ninghan fleet had been completely annihilated, which was definitely a serious blow.

The sky-Sea Pavilion’s 100-year plan was to develop the great desert. Before it lost its power, the Mang Tian Pavilion, xuankong temple, Tongtian temple, and other forces only dared to harass and obstruct it secretly. But this time, it suffered a huge loss, and the sky-Sea Pavilion’s power was directly reduced. The future was hard to say.

Would the Supreme powers like the heaven-killing Pavilion compete with the sky-Sea Pavilion for the right to develop the great desert? It was highly possible.

Therefore, the sky-Sea Pavilion could not afford to lose any more strength. If they could kill Shen lang easily, they would definitely be able to. However, if they had to pay a huge price, the gains would not make up for the losses.

It had always been the emperor’s will to kill Shen lang, not the sky-Sea Pavilion’s.

Therefore, Zuo CI’s attitude was clear. It was not that the sky-Sea Pavilion was afraid or that they could not defeat Shen lang. Instead, they wanted to focus on the possible challenge from the great desert.

Chen Lang said, ” Pavilion master Zuo Ci, this time, your fleet was completely annihilated. Even the building complex by the sea was razed to the ground. You’ve lost all your face. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by the world? ” Aren’t you afraid of being ranked second to last in the Supreme power Council?”

Zuo Ci said, ” if it’s useful, Emperor Jiang Li wouldn’t have lost. I wish sky-Sea Pavilion could be last.

Ugh! For some reason, a sentence appeared in Shen Lang’s mind. we are a developing country. And we will be a developing country for a long time.

“Pavilion master Zuo Ci, are you here to sign the armistice agreement with me?” Shen lang asked.

“Yes!” Zuo Ci said.

“What are your conditions?” Shen lang asked.

“I don’t have any conditions,” Zuo Ci replied.

Eh?

Zuo Ci continued,”I’ll also publicly declare that I’ll completely withdraw from the State of Yue”

Eh? Were big shots that decisive?

Why was Zhu Hong still so unyielding after the battle in Tian Yue city? It was because they had the support of the sky-Sea Pavilion and the Yan capital, but the sky-Sea Pavilion was the one who supported them in terms of military strength.

Now that Zuo Ci was going to announce his withdrawal from Yue country, wouldn’t the Zhu family of Yue country suffer a destructive blow?

“Life and death are uncertain in a battle between two parties,” Zuo Ci said. therefore, we will not hold anyone responsible for the destruction of our main fleet and the deaths of thousands of scholars in the Great Library. We will not hold anyone responsible for the destruction of the sky-Sea Pavilion. We will not take back any equipment, resources, or weapons that you have seized.”

Shen lang shook his head and said, ” Pavilion master Zuo Ci, you must be joking. Dragon’s regret blew everything up and left nothing behind. We didn’t pick up any equipment. It’s true, it’s true.

Pavilion master Zuo Ci was helpless. Do you think I’m blind? My ancient battleship is still docked at your port. Who are your special Warriors wearing the ancient armor? Also, why do your dozens of ancient crossbows and air defense crossbows look so familiar?

However, he still continued,”also, it’ll be good if you’re willing to hand over all the people you’ve captured. But if you’re not willing to, I won’t force you.” All the captives of the sky-Sea Pavilion, listen up. I have pardoned all of your crimes. You are free to choose whether to serve the new master or not.”

“Pavilion master Zuo Ci, do you really not have any requests?” Shen lang asked in confusion.

“I have a personal request,” Zuo Ci replied.”Of course, whether you agree or not, we will still sign the armistice agreement.”

“Please speak,” Shen lang said.

Zuo Ci said, ” Ning Han is my disciple and heir. If you capture her, can you return her to me? of course, I’m willing to pay a high price to redeem her. It’s even higher than what you think.

“Pavilion master Zuo Ci, I’m really sorry. We didn’t manage to find Ning Han,” Shen lang said seriously.

“Uh, I’m serious this time.” Shen lang added.

Zuo Ci stared at Shen lang. Even though they were a few thousand meters apart, Shen lang could feel his face burning. Was his opponent’s gaze that shocking?

“I believe you,” “To a certain extent, Ninghan’s bloodline was given to her by your father. If anything happens to her this time, it’ll be considered returning it to your Jiang family. By the way, you don’t need to use the plan to drive a wedge between you and Zhu hongxue. I’ll take him away from the State of Yue and go to the great desert.”

Shen lang did not reply.

“Are you signing?”

“Sign!”

Zuo Ci said, ” of course, I have to make it clear to you. Once you sign the truce agreement with the sky-Sea Pavilion, you will have to face Ying Wuming and stupa mountain. Don’t say that the sky-Sea Pavilion is just watching. I really don’t have the time to do that.

“Thank you for your reminder, Pavilion master Zuo Ci.” Shen lang said.

Then, Zuo Ci took out a piece of paper. It was the Imperial edict that Shen lang had sent to the world. Pavilion master Zuo Ci immediately wrote the armistice agreement on the back of the edict and signed his name.

Then, he let go, and the piece of paper floated toward Shen Lang as if it had wings.

Shen lang was shocked, and so was everyone around him. His martial arts skills were so good that they wanted to cry. They were thousands of meters apart.

The piece of paper floated in front of Shen lang. After a long while, Shen lang finally reached out and took it.

Looking at it, this peace treaty was a little too simple. There were only four words on it: There was not a single word in the main text of the armistice agreement. All that was left was Zuo CI’s signature.

Moreover, this was a true calligrapher. Every word seemed to have a soul, as if they were about to fly out of the paper.

Shen lang took the brush and signed his name on the right side of the truce agreement. After he signed, he had the urge to tear the paper apart. His handwriting was beautiful on its own, but compared to Zuo CI’s, it was too low-class.

However, this armistice agreement was priceless, and it could not be destroyed.

It’s nothing. What’s there to be afraid of if the handwriting isn’t good? It’s fine as long as I’m handsome. Isn’t the number one man in the world awesome enough for me?

But then he looked at Zuo Ci again. Maybe he was the most handsome man in the world a few decades ago?

Shen lang said,”Pavilion master Zuo Ci, isn’t there always two copies of the armistice agreement?” I’ll write another one for you to take back?”

“No need,” you can keep this one, ” Pavilion master Zuo Ci said. if you want to start a war with the sky-Sea Pavilion again, you can tear up the agreement yourself. Then I’ll take my leave, see you again!”

Pavilion master Zuo Ci rode away on the White Eagle and soon disappeared into the horizon.

This situation was even more perfect than what Shen lang had imagined! He did not expect Pavilion master Zuo Ci to be more decisive than he had imagined. Not only did he stop the war, but he also left the Yue country.

The main fleet had been wiped out, and the buildings of sky-Sea Pavilion had been completely wiped out. They were not taking revenge, but retreating?

It looked as if the sky-Sea Pavilion had been threatened by Shen Lang’s killing weapon and admitted defeat.

Once these few pieces of news were spread, it would be a true nuclear bomb level. It would be enough to detonate the world and shock all the countries in the world.

[ note: may I ask, brothers, do you still have monthly votes? ] I’ll bow to everyone before I go to sleep!

Thank you for deciding to fall in love with you, Macuy. You can’t do without meat, but you can’t do without books.
