Volume 1, Chapter 41: The Best Days Are Yet to Come

Jiang Weiyue had also heard about these matters from the lady who helped her wrap buns and cook. As a woman herself, Jiang Weili would not mock Jiang Weiyue for encountering such things, but she would not meddle either; she could only watch from the sidelines with cold detachment. Besides, she could barely look after herself as it was.

This outcome greatly shocked Prince Liang and left the Prefect of Kaifeng feeling humiliated. Upon returning to the prefectural office, Li Yijian remained silent. He Ma, who had been searching the city all day, saw Chu Yunfei and hurried up to meet him.

Xu Xiancheng did not say anything; how could she? She feared that if she spoke, her mother might faint, as her mother disliked Chao Yu so intensely. Under her mother’s persistent questioning, she winked at Wen Yukou, drawing everyone’s gaze toward her.

At this moment, Rennie’s health was bottoming out. I suspect he asked that question only to die with a clear understanding. Just as Ouyang Jue’s waist-cleaving strike hit Rennie squarely, Ouyang Jue answered the question: "Shadow Assassin."

Even though Bai Xue was aware of these things, a faint and imperceptible sense of desolation still lingered in her heart.

"Fine, since everything is finished, I should head back. Hey, Shadow, give me back my Blood Nether Orb," the vampire butler said, gritting his teeth. He looked at me with an expression of angry helplessness.

Fortunately, the person looking to buy their storefront was in a hurry to start business and agreed to add another thousand taels of silver to purchase the "Thus Have I Heard" shop.

Jun Wuji looked at the old man with a gaze that clearly said, "You are truly useless," which infuriated the old man so much that he spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Contender Shinji’s Pinsir has actually caught Kecleon’s tongue in one go! Kecleon is in trouble now," the commentator remarked.

"I won't disturb you any further. Thank you for your hard work today, Eunuch." The Marquis of Xuanping’s heart sank to the bottom. It was clear that Eunuch Lin was not giving him any face; it seemed the matter was far from simple. Last night, Lan Rongyue had promised not to make things difficult for Yang Ling, and he had promised to have Yang Ling married off as soon as possible. Now that he had broken his word first, he had to bear the consequences.

He realized he had not escaped the whims of fate after all. His transmigration and his cycle of reincarnation seemed to have been preordained; this was not what he had wanted.

A ripple of invisible sword intent passed through the air, and the roasted meat in Jiang Shangyu’s hand was instantly shattered into countless fragments.

"Big brother, it really was this snow lotus. We only felt abdominal pain and fainted after drinking the water from the vat earlier. It turns out we accidentally ingested the insects," said a short, stubby man with a scruffy beard among the seven, still visibly shaken.

He worried that if he didn't arrive soon, Baekje would fall, and as the managing commander, he wouldn't even get a scrap of the spoils.

Zhou Zhicai looked toward the doorway, annoyed, wanting to know who had dared to barge in without knocking and disrupt the board meeting.

If there were no land, he still felt that floating on water was more reliable than drifting in the air... It was truly a case of "once bitten by a snake, fearing a well rope for generations."

He had asked her to treat Yan Jinzhen, and she did indeed owe him a favor. If he had asked her to save someone else today, her intervention would have settled that debt. However, saving Zhou Ziqing was not a matter of repaying a favor.

"I cannot harm you!" Ji Haochu screamed hysterically, knocking over the fruit platter before him. The fruit rolled across the floor, over and over again.

Gong Daizou nodded. After confirming he had found the right place, he immediately knocked on the door.

Although Lin Zhi’s movement appeared casual, she had essentially cleared out all the formidable mutant plants and animals within a radius of dozens of miles. The nearby cities would be able to rest easy for a long time, without fear of attacks from these mutated creatures.

Seeing this, Ran Yunfei pulled out money to pay the bill and bought all the pellet drums at the stall. "These drums are all yours now." Ran Yunfei picked one up and shook it gently by Lao'er’s ear.
