Chapter 66 Dining

He was unwilling to bring up the events of that night, but I was determined to do so, just to see how he would respond.

However, perhaps it was due to the adage that the words of the dying are wise and good, or perhaps because, as fellow lackeys serving others, he had reached this point and felt a flicker of resonance with me, wishing to tell me everything he knew.

I had already paid the surgical fees and settled the matter with Huang Yulan, leaving nothing else pressing. My original plan was to hand all the money over to Liu Wen, but fearing she might not be able to process such a large sum all at once, I decided against it.

Just as Haochen was about to lay his hand upon the Myriad Spirit Fruit, a strange, squeaking sound suddenly pierced his ears, and an instant later, a burst of grayish-yellow dirt erupted straight from the Myriad Spirit Tree.

Zhang Suxuan, a charlatan mystic, had enthusiastically meddled in this affair and even paid out of his own pocket to invite Li Chang'an. No one would believe there wasn't a catch to all this. Yet Li Chang'an himself had never been one to pry into others' privacy, nor did he ask for detailed explanations.

Yunzhi and Yunshu were her most trusted maids, whom she regarded as younger sisters. If they could find a desirable husband and marry well, she would naturally be happy for them.

Qi Tianyang furrowed his brow tightly and remained silent, pondering while tracing the token engraved with the characters "Tianying" in his hand. Observing his expression, I could not help but recall my own encounter with Liu Zheng.

Among the rock walls, there remained several sturdy tree roots. I chopped off a section to fashion a torch, which barely illuminated the path ahead of us.

Immediately following that, however, a wave of profound shock gripped Haochen's heart. When his fist struck the Tower Spirit, it passed right through the spirit's form as though he were striking empty air.

Sweeping his gaze across the surroundings, Haochen noticed that both the white-robed disciple from the Heavenly Realm Courtyard and Lin Gang had yet to make a move, appearing lost in thought.

The entire row of trees below was severed cleanly at the waist, and this chained devastation extended for miles before finally coming to a halt. The entire forest looked as though it had been clumsily plowed into a shallow trench by an inept apprentice hairdresser with trembling hands.

What does it mean to be shameless? There was nothing more shameless than what the two of them had just done, yet Gu Jingchen had the nerve to say such things.

To set the Tenth Prince's mind at ease, Zhang Tianyang fetched a flute to use in place of a sword—a role Black Rose could handle with absolute ease.

Guing Hu Biao into the room, Jing Jian introduced the merchandise: "These are the newest arrivals. Pick whatever you like, choose the ones that sell best." For such a premium customer, some form of discount was always in order.

Looking down, he saw that the distant Lao Tan was slumped on the ground, the upper half of his suit torn and tattered, looking severely injured.

Across the entire realm, Princess Yao'er was the only one daring enough to call Zhang Tianyang a great scoundrel, a heinous villain, and a stinky rogue.

"Is it worth it? For someone like me, is it truly worth it?" As Jian Ning spoke, the hands that had been pushing Peng Cheng away slowly tightened, grabbing hold of his clothes.

Realizing that time was somewhat tight, Long Tian directly instructed Soul Flying Mountain to have Nong Qingjun make the trip over, sparing himself the trouble of running the journey.

"Ron, can I go with you?" Cessie had already woken up, and seeing Ron and Winona about to leave, she hurried over.

The aura of this white-robed man was entirely restrained, without a single trace leaking outward. Standing there with his hands behind his back, his demeanor was exceptionally detached. The older generation of the Li family cast glances at him from time to time, and a trace of smug pride could be discerned in their eyes.

That was why he had previously wrung his brains trying to enlist a famous director; after all, with someone's established reputation already there, summoning a group of A-list stars would be as effortless as a single call.

Yet Yue Zhou swiftly seized it, reset it with a single motion, and completely restored it to normal without the slightest abnormality.

Lin Shan knew that this must be the legendary military commander summoned for him by the Level 5 Territory Azure Star System.

Although he possessed capable subordinates such as Albedo and Pandora, leaving him with no major issues, the sheer volume of matters requiring the attention of the two Supremes remained immense.

Just imagine: once someone as ferocious as that entered, accompanied by such intense explosions and sounds of combat, how could any survivors possibly remain?

The villa's housekeeper handed her two checks: one was for five million, while the amount on the other was under ten thousand.

That day, Liu Tianqing came upstairs much later than usual. Ye Li hid in his room for a long time without hearing any sound, and when he finally decided to step out and check, the elevator chimed as its doors opened. Liu Tianqing stepped out extremely slowly, every step seemingly endured with immense agony.

The moment the car slowly pulled away from the electric sliding gate, the paparazzi and reporters who had been lying in wait for ages swarmed forward, forcing the Alphard to a dead stop. Simultaneously, the reporters stationed at the other three campus gates, upon receiving the news, rushed over en masse at the very first opportunity.

Fluder's mouth gaped open like a fish gasping on a riverbank, while his eyes widened to their absolute limits.

She vaguely remembered summoning Black Meow back in the Pan-Continent Alliance, slipping away ahead of time after determining the plane's coordinates in advance. She wondered whether Black Meow had successfully been summoned into the alliance.

With the matter essentially settled, Zhu Youxiao returned to the inner palace and mentioned it. While Zhang Tianyan said nothing, Wang Wan objected fiercely, insisting on accompanying them. Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to promise her that he would definitely bring her along the next time he visited Jiangnan.

He struggled to hold the umbrella steady with one hand, bending down to pick up a lotus leaf that had been slapped flat against his leg by the fierce wind.

By the time the fourth ship finished firing its cannons, the first ship had already swung around and headed back toward the Dutch vessels. At that point, among the eight Dutch ships, one was taking on water and listing, another was slowly sinking, two had sustained injuries, and Ryerson's flagship remained unscathed.

Realizing this belatedly, the driver of the black sedan felt a surge of lingering fear and relief, accompanied by a wave of gratitude toward the young man that left him entirely at a loss for how to express it.

"No, I wouldn't. This is inherently a world where the strong prey on the weak. You saw through what I did today, which just means I am inferior to you and I have lost. However, I do not regret my actions," Wang Xiaoxi said, still casting a look of utter disdain.
