Chapter 28

Zhong Kui also possessed a stubborn temper; faced with the Black and White Impermanence’s accusatory questioning, he did not hold back.

Among the people present, only Wang Xifeng was overly suspicious. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she had gone to examine the medicine packet. Although she lacked the old woman’s experience, her long tenure as the head of the household meant she recognized a thing or two, and coupled with the expressions on Grandmother Jia and the others, she had already guessed the truth.

Yun Lingtian was left between laughter and tears at Chu Tian’s expression, until they arrived at a black mountain, upon which stood a massive black palace.

The White Bone Spirit hummed in frustration. Her claws pressed harder, already beginning to crush Chu Tian’s clothes, yet his golden body remained impenetrable, which sent the spirit into a fit of cursing.

Though communication was difficult, many of the Tatars spoke Han Chinese, and attendants were specifically assigned to translate at the banquet, making the atmosphere quite harmonious and merry.

"The world of martial arts is far away" was hard to interpret, but the phrase "you are on your own" was devastating. Even if Su Ningxuan were an idiot, she would understand the implication. Had her fate truly reached a point where she had to fend for herself?

"Ha! After all that, you’re just a fortune-teller. I thought you were someone important, but it turns out you’re nothing more than feudal dross." Jiang Yuxuan ignored Jiang Yushi’s threats, having already concluded that the man was a fraud.

Qin Xiaoxuan skipped over eagerly. Ma Zhe laughed, "Find a nearby bank and open an account to deposit today’s earnings." Since the shop was right there, opening an account on-site would make daily deposits and withdrawals more convenient.

The ugly warrior came from the land of Japan and was a formidable fighter. The elderly man in the tuxedo came from the West and was a terrifying vampire.

Although the look in Christie’s eyes upon first seeing Robelle was a mix of a connoisseur’s surprise and a burning desire for a peerless treasure, no matter who probed afterward, Christie remained tight-lipped, as if even speaking of Robelle’s true identity were a sin.

"I understand. Well, Uncle, Aunt, I shall take my leave now," Yan Bo said politely.

I immediately realized who had sent this. With information regarding a gathering of organized crime, how could the police not have caught wind of it?

It is worth mentioning that during gym class, that fellow Wang Rulong would repeatedly hurl the basketball in my direction, and with significant force at that.

"We are going home first." Mu Qinzhi forcibly pulled Ye Ning’s hand. Ignoring her resistance, Ye Ning gave a grand wave and marched out of the Leng household first. Mu Qinzhi wiped sweat from his brow and hurried to keep up. Why did he feel that the days ahead would be difficult? This was the consequence of choosing an alpha woman.

Ultimately, Tang Tiancheng held an impromptu meeting with his six jade-consultants to deliberate. Afterward, Tang Tiancheng’s expression twisted; the seven of them pressed their keyboards, and instantly, the prices for all the raw stones on the screen shot up to new highs.

"Husband..." Xia Xiaoxiao cried out, barely able to bear the weight of the address. So many times before, he had asked her to call him that, and she had stubbornly refused. Only now did she realize how foolish she had been. If she had known this day would come, she would have called him that a hundred times a day, just so he would know how much she loved him.

Seeing the name "Dream Spirit of a Chaotic World," Lilith thought her eyes were playing tricks on her, but after a careful look, it was indeed that name.

"Give me a kiss as a memento!" Mu Yuzhi said half-jokingly. Xia Xiaoxiao didn't take it to heart, assuming he was still jesting.

After searching around and finding no sign of any large dog, we had no choice but to return empty-handed. In truth, I had an intuition that we wouldn't find anything tonight.

Hui An must have been tired, though I had never seen him show a trace of fatigue—which often made me suspect that his routine meditation was actually just him catching up on sleep.

She kept saying, "Sir, you have mistaken me for someone else, you have mistaken me for someone else..." yet her hands did not push Lu Yanying away.

Finally, when it came to introducing Yang Renyi’s family, Yang Renjie began to be dismissive, finishing in a few short words.

He couldn't even command the General; after such an event, Prince Rui could be certain that, let alone this palace, there was likely not a single person in the entire country willing to follow his orders.

Thinking this, the burly man stared coldly at Jiang Chuan and the others, waiting for the members of the Baiqi Gang to make their move.

Bai Zijin wasn't putting on airs; rather, half an hour ago, she had suddenly discovered that the King Cobra she had left in her spatial pharmacy was dead.

He checked the time and chuckled to himself, "You're certainly early!" He wiped his wet hands on his apron and shuffled to the door in his slippers.

"Big Brother, don't tell me this money is something you secretly saved before the family split?" Third Aunt looked at Zhang Dafa suspiciously.

Shen Zhixiu snorted, and Yi Yanlin hurriedly explained. She wanted to open a cosmetics counter in the city plaza, featuring brands under the Yunxia banner. He hadn't expected her to actually secure a Yunxia brand.

"She is a member of my Qiao family. As long as you are not divorced, don't even think about laying a finger on her in my presence. Now, get out!" Qiao Zhenting pointed at him and commanded.

From the moment the two entered, the City Lord of Liyang and Liang Ruoliu had only glanced at Gu Zhan once, and thereafter dared not look again, their gazes shifting timidly to Yun Rou instead.

A "click" sounded, and the dimly lit room was instantly flooded with light. There was hardly a corner left in shadow.

Mingzhu had almost forgotten about the matter until Rong Zhe came to the door, saying he wanted to hold a grand birthday celebration for Elder Rong.

The old man squinted at Lan Mi, who was still standing there in a daze, and snapped, "Are you stupid? Your bed is there!" He pointed with his hand.

Lan Mi felt a sense of unreality. The legendary "Big Boss" had been defeated just like that—it really didn't feel real.

Accepting his words, Shen Qi sighed inwardly, yet felt a sense of relief. It seemed that after today, the wedding date would have to be moved forward—not just for Shen Bihuan, but likely for Shen Bishuang as well; they would have to be married off in haste. Auspicious or not, the only goal now was a quick marriage.

If the Pinglu Navy were to ambush imperial ships in this sea, they would be covered in excrement; even if it wasn't literal, it would be perceived as such.

"No need, thank you for your kindness, sister-in-law." Yan Ruo turned and left. The food she disliked most was sesame; she didn't eat anything with sesame seeds, and the sight of them even caused her some sensory discomfort.

"However, given his personality, a concert is probably a long way off," Chen Tianxiang laughed.
