Volume 1, Chapter 55: Accompanying to Dinner

Dong Qianqian felt that the current situation was terrible, as Xu Fengchuo completely disregarded the restaurant's rationing standards.

With a grand wave of his hand, he ordered a table completely filled with dishes, and a single glance made it obvious that they would never finish it all.

Among them were Songjiang sliced perch, Fengjing trotter, and shredded raw fish with golden sauce.

The prices had been reduced by twenty percent and maintained for two days, yet sales remained lukewarm, with no sign of a rush to buy or hoard.

The group chatted until midnight before they saw Kongkong and Liaowang return looking weary. Seeing that it was late, Liaoyin hurriedly called everyone to rest early, as they still had to go outside the temple to fetch water and chop firewood at the crack of dawn.

Wang Chengen, who had just returned from delivering the imperial decree, did not know what had happened, but seeing the drastic change in Chongzhen's expression, he knew things were going badly and repeatedly signaled Jiang Beiming and Han Wantao with his eyes.

However, Qin Ke also knew that with the current power of this single piece of the God-Smiting Stone, even if other fragments were truly found, they would only be swallowed up.

Aya ignored him. This man used to be utterly vicious; after her daddy passed away, his true colors were completely exposed, ha! His former gentle and refined gentlemanly air and all traces of tenderness were entirely gone.

Chen Mo did not let the undead army set out immediately to pacify the Heavenly Saint Palace and the Demon race, because he needed to wait—to wait for the birth of the human race and for all opportunities to mature before fighting a decisive battle with the Heavenly Dao.

In fact, he had a refined appearance, and his hair was unexpectedly soft; such a man also possessed a fascinatingly gentle side to his personality.

Xu Yuan lowered her gaze and saw his slender, unrestrained fingers hovering near her collar and neck, hesitating and shy as if wanting to pull at her clothes, yet not quite doing so.

"Qiupeng, introduce the performance and firepower of the Pearl." Zeng Guangxian, who was about to take on the role of captain of the Pearl, was still very concerned about this issue.

The reason why Xuanyuan Qingyun did not immediately break through to the Undying Realm was precisely to wait for the Divine Pool Assembly to thoroughly refine the God-King Laws within the sixth-grade moon marrow before advancing to the Undying Realm.

Without this extra income, Wang Yan was somewhat discouraged, but fortunately, the rewards of the third tower were generous. The first floor started at six hundred martial coppers, and the clearance reward was fifteen hundred martial coppers, totaling five thousand eight hundred and fifty martial coppers, which wasn't a small amount either.

Thinking of this, Lunling did not even want to exchange more words, giving only a cold nod of acknowledgment. She instructed Nanny Liu to receive the items and express gratitude, without even raising her head or wishing to take another look at Caizhi.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, Zhao Kai appeared before her eyes. Wu Xi hurriedly tried to cover his mouth, but it was already too late.

She had thought that bringing a few cultivators in the Spirit-Guiding Realm would be of some help! But looking at the current situation, simply surviving among these ferocious beasts was a problem in itself, let alone forcing a breakthrough!

Crossing the Divine Tribulation was a major event for the cultivation world, and an even more life-and-death matter for Ruomeng herself. She had to treat it seriously and make thorough preparations. Of course, Ruomeng would never fight an unprepared battle, especially a battle against the heavens such as traversing the tribulation.

Walking along the path, Daijin was filled with a myriad of emotions. In this very courtyard, how many times had she knelt before Xiyun, how many times had she pleaded with her a hundred ways in word and heart? Now the roles were reversed; what would this meeting be like?

As a minister devoted entirely to the country, proposing to establish the son while executing the mother was naturally not an overly outrageous matter. However, in front of the imperial concubines of the harem, especially the Empress, such a statement carried a clear undertone of threat. For a moment, the three of them could not think of any good response.

I nodded in gratitude and did not refuse. I truly needed the currency of this world, otherwise, I might not even be able to take a single step. I made up my mind in my heart that I would definitely repay Chu Yulong double in the future.

Seeing Zhan Zhaohua's withered expression, He Lang felt extreme pain in his heart as well. He clenched his hands tightly, feeling that even breathing had become difficult.
