Volume 1, Chapter 54: The Clueless Father in a Vintage Story 17

"That's right, isn't Brother Li coming home soon? Making such a long trip by truck is quite exhausting, so I'm planning to make some nourishing food to help him recover his strength."

Thinking of this, Chen Xinzhu did not bother to move to another spot. He sat down cross-legged right where he was and began to circulate his inner energy to heal his wounds.

"However, for the sake of fairness, the duel shall be set three months from now. I will marry my disciple Shangguan Yu to the winner!" Shangguan Xiong said in a loud voice.

Uncle Hong held the medicinal pill in his hand. The energy contained within it was of a different kind from the Life-Prolonging Pill, yet it was vastly superior. Since Uncle Hong had never seen an unnamed pill before, he found it difficult to judge its exact value.

Qiao Ran, however, wore a calm expression, her posture completely flawless. Even under Madam Qiao's fixed gaze, she did not feel a trace of fear.

Chen Xinzhu's expression remained unchanged. He had a fair understanding of the demon race; these low-tier demons possessed insufficient intelligence and mostly acted on instinct.

Yan Zhi knew that during times of war, food was scarce and firearms lacked regulation. People often ventured into the mountains to hunt wild animals, causing wildlife to dwindle. Deprived of food, jungle wolves would naturally resort to attacking humans when driven to extreme hunger.

Mount Colachi stood at an altitude of approximately eleven hundred feet, serving as the commanding height of the area. Its slopes varied in steepness, with several mountain paths winding spiral-like toward the summit, where a natural pool of water was located.

Watching the god-like man walk toward them, no matter how arrogant those men usually were, they could not help but feel terrified. They hurriedly released Qin Qingqing and Su Yiming.

Lu Qingzhi did not go to work, nor did he return to the mountain villa. Instead, he stayed stubbornly in the Lu family's old residence every day, waiting for a call from the elderly master.

Zhao Fugui whirled around abruptly, his soul nearly frightened out of his body. He forced his legs, which were trembling and urging him to flee, to stay put, held his breath, and stared fixedly at the two dead soldier corpses behind him, who were likewise staring fixedly at him.

The silence between the two did not last long before it was shattered by a sudden remark from Li Tianluo.

"Chasing them down and attacking them is indeed a bit difficult! But using these for defense is more than enough! Furthermore, we can use them to set traps and lure them into our snare."

After saying this, Zhang Lingyu felt as though his legs had been filled with lead, becoming incomparably heavy. Yet, heavy as they were, he still took the step and entered the room.

Li Shimin's focus lay elsewhere, and he was deeply gratified that Changsun Wugou could understand his intentions. However, as a father, he felt he needed to intervene since someone dared to compete with his son for a wife.

Another burst of enthusiastic applause erupted. This time, the boys put much more effort into it, evidently because many people like Wang Yu had carefully browsed the school's online forum before enrollment.

The bright yellow color was strikingly eye-catching, and the cape billowed with the fresh breeze. The young man slowly turned around, revealing a smile. For a fleeting moment, Zhu Yue felt as though her entire world had been melted away by that smile.

Ye Menghan found that with the moving in of Bai Xuan and Mu Nianyand, she felt a momentary sense of tension and unease.

For fans, nothing could make them happier than seeing their idols receive honors.

A jade pendant was tied around the young girl's waist, swaying gently with her movements. It was translucent and crystal-clear green throughout, fastened to her waist by a red cord.

"No, no, no, I don't want to drink anymore!" Wang Yu hurriedly explained, remembering how miserable he had felt for days after getting drunk that day.

As for Gulang Island, it lay on the other side of the Dead Sea, close to the coastline. If one chose not to cross the Dead Sea, taking a detour would require at least another half a year of travel time.

Even though Ye Luo had already traveled quite a distance, the screams echoing from behind could still be faintly heard.
