Volume 1, Chapter 33: Summer Vacation Ends, the Birth of a Fifty-Thousand-Yuan Household!
After all, returning to the base was something Sister Yi had repeatedly demanded. When Concubine’s Drunkenness arrived, Sister Yi was already seething with suppressed anger. If Butcher were to defy her orders and return to the Wanderer Desert now, he would undoubtedly have to bear the brunt of all her fury alone.
After expressing their profuse thanks, Yellow-Hair and Baldy left the apartment happily, accompanied by Ji Ru.
"Where are they? I mean your people. What exactly is the situation with them being targeted? Are they just being watched, or are they about to move against them?" I continued to ask.
"It’s still early in the evening; my train is the latest one." Li Yifan said to Shen Jiayi with a look of confusion, not understanding why she would ask such a thing. Unexpectedly, she turned and gave instructions to the driver.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaojin’s "enemies" and "friends" were all bewildered; no one knew what Lin Xiaojin was going to say. They only knew that what he was saying seemed to have nothing to do with what happened this morning.
Of course not. Having been selected by the three major powers to be part of the relief team, these people were all capable; none of them were simple. In fact, the relief teams of the three major powers had reached a secret agreement outside Silver Wave City, pledging to conduct a certain operation simultaneously. The prerequisite for this activity was a façade of relaxation while maintaining internal vigilance, and a complete blockade of information.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, are you referring to the matter of building roads through commerce?" Zhu Shun was a clever man. Aside from the details of the great victory at Sancha River, this was the only major news that had emerged from the palace yesterday. It concerned a project spanning over a century and involving countless sums of money, a matter that had left innumerable people restless and stamping their feet in anxiety. In the capital, as long as one was not deaf, one knew of it.
Her long hair cascaded straight onto Dongnan Fei’s face. He caught the scent of her hair, which smelled faintly of snowflakes, so pleasant and refreshing.
Therefore, they had lost everything this time. Because the components of the teleportation array were exclusive and irreparable, breaking just one meant the entire set was scrapped.
Early the next morning, Yang Sen, dressed in a simple, standard uniform for an esper, met up with Saliev, who wore the same attire, and they took a guild carriage toward the palace district.
"You should notify Chun Sheng first; official business comes first. As for this topic, I’ll explain it to you slowly once we get home, how about that?" Xuanyuan Tianxin said with a smile that looked worse than crying.
The previous generation’s Palace Master of the Wuxiang Palace was actually still alive. If this news were to spread, the entire Western Continent would surely be in an uproar.
Of course, when the visiting players noticed Li Fei’s lazy attitude, they couldn't help but snicker to themselves while harboring doubts about his abilities.
But compared to the privilege of watching Zhang Jinxuan’s charming sleeping face in the morning, and that warm, fragrant, and soft embrace just moments ago, it was all worth it.
Director Dong took a piece of paper, and after reading it, his hands trembled, yet he still grabbed the other sheets as if making a desperate, final struggle.
The Ouyang family members all wore expressions of shock after hearing his words, their hearts filled with unease. After all, proposing such conditions in a life-or-death situation was practically no different from seeking death.
"Look at your head! It’s not on you, is it? In the future, you are absolutely forbidden from putting these things on me!" Lin Xinxin said, fuming with rage.
At the same time, Xu Butian did not hesitate and hurriedly placed the remaining leaves into the box and closed the lid. But at this very moment, his expression suddenly shifted.
The room was already very quiet, and as Xuanyuan Tianxin walked in, her slightly heavy footsteps were clearly audible.
Unfortunately, Chen Zi’an did not refuse Zheng Zitong’s request as she had hoped. He agreed to her request to hitch a ride with gentlemanly politeness and let her into the car.
Thus, when Wen Liang picked up the scissors and snipped the red silk, the density of the camera flashes at the scene made him squint involuntarily.
Therefore, the current debate and discussion were limited to these two games and would not escalate to the game developers themselves.
The famous FBI and CIA issued statements one after another, announcing they would conduct a large-scale cleanup operation, and "humorously" suggested that for details, one could look at the fate of the "Silk Road" on the dark web—a cyber-crime organization that had been dismantled earlier in October.
"Why are you trying to go back on your word just after taking an oath?" Shen Tianzong turned around, a look of contemptuous mockery on his face as he retorted.
The bone blade descended, the wind of the strike threatening to tear the air apart with a series of hissing sounds. Shen Tianzong remained unhurried, taking two steps back before suddenly releasing his Fire-Tip Spear. The spear stood steadily in mid-air, its body expanding rapidly, growing in size at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Just as Chu Lingjun was assisting Principal Zhan Xinlan and others in killing several level-four commanders, a thunderous explosion suddenly erupted from the third line of defense, over at the Yue River.
Zhang Jiao’er saw that Mother Han was about to go find Han Erlang. She hadn't mentioned the matter of selling the land to him yet. If Mother Han went now, she feared that Han Erlang, out of respect for Father Han, would be forced to temporarily stall the matter, and she wouldn't be able to confront him without damaging their relationship.
Not a single word was mentioned about the fact that she liked him, yet every word spoke of how she still loved him.
Countless white light spheres flew out from the center of the explosion and drilled into Chu Lingjun’s body, granting him an increase of ten thousand points of attack power.
The Business Department was directly managed by Zhao Ruonan, while the Training Department was overseen by Jiang Yilin, who possessed a professional background.
With them by her side, Chu Feng had no worries at all. Furthermore, Chu Jiale was also there, so he only offered a few simple words of caution.
Wu Linglong immediately turned around, with her back to the man. Her gaze fell upon the table, and she hurriedly set down her bundle and picked up the teapot to pour water, only to find that the teapot was cold.
Qiao Yu walked onto the ice rink, first shaking hands with Lambiel, then Plushenko, and finally arriving before the championship podium. Qiao Yu’s way of getting onto the stage was the most unique: he performed a triple toe loop to jump onto the platform.
The shy concubine stared at Yongxing with eyes swimming in tears, unable to move a single step.
It was precisely the existence of these wealthy merchants that fueled the arrogance of those bandits. Although Yue Yan had also played the role of a bandit, it had been a matter of necessity.
Now that the Huang and Xiao families could no longer be relied upon, only the Deng family and the Empress Dowager were left in the same boat, leaning on each other. It was time to put aside past grievances; the Empress Dowager suddenly found herself missing the flamboyant and charming Deng Yarong.
Recalling the situation at that time, Yue Yan couldn't help but feel speechless; the expression on the wealthy merchant's face could only be described as overflowing with gratitude.
