Chapter 24

With his worries now vanished, Yuan Hong withdrew his mental power after a few breaths. Looking at Mo Wen, who was struggling frantically on the ground as if in unbearable agony, a happy arc curled at the corner of his mouth.

Ju Hong listened to Xing Rui’s words. She was well aware of Chen Xiang’s identity and knew perfectly well that this was his first time delivering the dividends from the shop to Dong Yuan.

The day after the wedding dowry ceremony, a large brown-yellow carriage arrived at the entrance of Liucheng Alley. The horse pulling it was tall and sturdy, with tight muscles and a coat that shone with health—one could tell at a glance it belonged to a wealthy family.

Venerable Dragon Horn’s expression relaxed slightly. With a few quick steps, his figure drifted backward like duckweed in the wind.

Coupled with Tang Lin’er’s stunning beauty and noble temperament, she instantly became the center of everyone’s attention.

More than five months passed in the blink of an eye, and Xie Yun finally managed to organize the charm and profound insights of the "Sky-Slashing" technique.

It dragged its bloated body forward, grabbed a zombie by the neck, and twisted hard. With a sharp "crack," the head of the ordinary zombie was twisted off like a piece of dough.

Someone like Lexus, whose martial arts cultivation was a level higher than his alchemist rank, was truly a rarity.

Before long, Liao Ran’s figure appeared in the grand hall, accompanied by Zhong Yao and Sha Quexie.

When Madam Yang saw Dong Yuan, a flash of malice crossed her eyes, but Xue Ziming did not notice her. Madam Rong signaled to her to go inside and serve the old mistress together.

It felt like a paranormal event, as if you had seen a building across the street yesterday, only to wake up and find it had vanished.

"Don't bother making excuses. A person like you who dares not take responsibility for their actions only makes me look down on you more the more you say," Jasmine said, utterly disappointed, her eyes filled with the coldness of someone who would never believe in love again.

Seeing that Lin Feng’s reaction speed was not slow, the middle-aged man continued his assault. This time, he used both hands and feet, determined to unleash his full strength right from the start.

"That’s good, otherwise I’d have to find a way to explain it," Qiao Wutong sighed in relief. She had no desire to take on this hot potato; it was better to leave it to Mei Shuyu to handle herself.

"Big brother, how can you still plead for Lin Feng at a time like this? He might be a threat to Father right now!" Qin Tianyu said.

Having just returned from the Divine Martial Continent, and without any significant improvement in his own strength, he had no desire to embark on another journey there.

"Hah! Young people love to boast; aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?" Feng Hu glared at Lin Feng.

The Emperor doted on her greatly. Yi Huan cuddled up to the Emperor and acted coy; the Left Prime Minister was stripped of his position, and Bai Jinru was exiled to serve as a military prostitute.

Some said Mo Qi and the young man were in cahoots to swindle the middle-aged man, while others claimed the middle-aged man was a fraud selling fake goods—the rumors were endless.

At the thought of this, Yan Cheng was reminded of the endless advanced calculus problems. Good heavens, he was only eighteen, still just a child; why did he have to suffer through calculus and linear algebra?

At the entrance of the player tunnel, though it wasn't calling him... the voice of Adjer Pendragon drifted into Andrei’s ears so abruptly.

Off the field, the English team hummed and laughed leisurely, while the Chinese team was shrouded in gloom. Even Han Xiao, usually the most carefree, couldn't say a word. Chen Qingfan was inwardly cursing himself, wondering why he hadn't double-checked the lineup—but how could he have anticipated Su Zhou pulling such a stunt on him?

Since everyone is here today, some issues must be cleared up once and for all.

"Master, why don't we skip the tea? Shall I massage your legs instead?" Murong Xue pressed her master into a chair, ignoring the fact that Blue Venerable’s face had turned completely black.

Gu Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh of relief. These past few days had felt like a nightmare—the feeling of having no hope and hitting walls everywhere had made her feel a sense of despair from time to time.

Vice Premier Zhu also spoke candidly, admitting that although he was once a Vice Premier, his focus had primarily been on macroeconomic regulation.

Wuxiang naturally showed no respect to Ren Potian; they were not existences of the same level to begin with.

Upon hearing the secret guard’s report, Wang Qing immediately summoned a large number of guards and rushed toward the city outskirts.

"..." Fang Bai felt that a hammer might not save this spatial gateway. He began to think with a pang of heartache that perhaps it was time for him to abandon this plane and find another. He didn't believe his luck could always be this bad.

"Fine, I might need to buy an apartment too. I’ll call my mom after looking at it to confirm," Qin Yumin said.

Sending so many people to China, only for such a small fraction to make it in, and even then, only by pure luck? Was China really that strong? Charlie didn't believe it; he was going to enter China and kill this old man before him.

A figure slipped quietly into the room, closed the window, and sat on the edge of the bed, resting their chin on one hand. The bright candlelight stretched the intruder’s shadow long. With a tall, slender physique, large, glistening eyes, and raven-black hair cascading over their shoulders, an unparalleled beauty was on full display.

A massive sound sphere suddenly erupted from Ba Hao’s mouth, slamming into the metal shield and blasting both it and Wu Yan away with violent force.

"Why all the chatter? I called you here to clarify the matter of the X-metal in front of Zhang Yang. Whatever Long Xiaotian can offer you, I can provide just the same!" Han Xu’s voice, morphed to sound like King of Winds Ni Jilin, came through. I had taught him to say these things; otherwise, with Wu Xiaojie’s suspicious nature, he would likely have ruined everything.

With wide eyes, Ao Li stared fixedly at Xiao Rang, his heart unable to find calm for a long time.

"Yes! I guarantee the mission will be completed!" Following Li Ningyu’s order, the dungeon was filled with the sound of whips cracking and shrill, miserable screams throughout the night, leaving those nearby feeling a bone-chilling terror.
