Volume 1, Chapter 37: Gossip

After downing two bowls of spirit spring water, the chubby boy Dong Jianbei slowly stirred to consciousness.

Upon waking, Dong Jianbei’s head still felt heavy, but his body’s instincts made his first reaction to scramble about in search of a restroom.

He patted the set of clothes on his body that had long since belonged in the trash bin, carefully tucking the tattered chrysanthemum into a hole in his lapel.

In this era, a household with ten thousand yuan was already considered a wealthy family envied by all. One must realize that some families could not even save a hundred yuan in a year, and some were even mired in debt; ten thousand yuan was an astronomical sum.

But A-Ke, how did you fall into this level? Is that what the rules for clearing this level state?

It turned out that at the very moment the sky had plunged into total darkness due to Zhang Jiao, Wang Fang, who had been prepared and was positioned behind the Shield-Bash Battalion, realized that the perfect opportunity to assassinate Zhang Jiao had suddenly arrived.

Simultaneously, among the four Gray Wolf Guards who had been trailing Silver Seven a step behind, one cradled Silver Seven while the three others brandished their weapons and charged into the Wuhuan elite cavalry.

When combined with the inherent quality of the soldiers, the grueling march through the wilderness, the necessity of setting up camp, and the constant vigilance against enemy ambushes, all these factors contributed to the current situation.

Perhaps the physiques resulting from these cultivation methods differed, but this proved beyond doubt that cultivators could directly alter their physical constitutions, sparing Zhang Zhiping from being clueless about where to begin.

It must be said that Lindy’s ambition was truly vast; even back on Earth, developers only dared to "merge servers."

The one who spoke up this time was not one of the previous confidants or sycophants, but a centurion who had not been particularly close to Mo Gugu before.

When these people cause trouble for you, they aren't breaking any laws; it is simply that your own performance is lacking.

In particular, the fact that the Guanshui Lake Scenic Area was selected while the "West River Thousand-Household Miao Village" in Yuntai District was not, pushed Li Qingyun’s reputation to an even greater height.

I gazed at her back with such tenderness—could she really not feel even the slightest bit of it?

Without connections or influence, who would care about such a person’s feelings? Some people at the scene didn’t even bother to mask their emotions, pressing their questions with even more vigor. They hurled all sorts of inquiries, and some even crowded around, desperate to be the first to dig up a major scoop.

If they were to keep brawling like this, it probably wouldn't be easy for Su Mu to defeat this old geezer.

Back then, standing opposite her, he felt that even if all the flowers in the world were in full bloom, they could not compare to her alone.

Lin Ruxue mentioned that Zhou Ziqi was still in the secret chamber at the back of the mountain, but he had given instructions not to be disturbed. Lu Ning nodded, not intending to leave for the time being; he would seek an audience with his teacher once he emerged from seclusion.

And vital tasks like maintaining the power station must be entrusted to those who are truly willing, in order to guarantee their security.

When he awoke again, it was already the evening of the following day. The efficacy of the Ningxiang elixir was excellent; his meridians and bones were slowly mending, so he could not move recklessly for now. His external wounds had begun to heal; it seemed they had gone to great lengths to save him.

"It would be best to thank them in person; after all, they saved your life. As for what to buy to show your gratitude, I’ll take care of that. We must be sincere," his aunt said.

Li Jingyi watched Yu Sheng’s retreating back, thinking of what her agent had told her last night. Given the current situation, it seemed Yu Sheng was still unaware, and she didn't know if he would agree. The more Li Jingyi thought about it, the more anxious she became, as she was deeply afraid that Fang Yu Sheng would refuse.
