Chapter 151: Wen Lanlan Found
No matter how much she suffered, she never uttered a single word of complaint. Few people ever stood up for her; she was truly a person of extreme honesty and diligence. She had no children, and although the Second Master was not without concubines, their branch of the family remained childless.
In Chu Yu’s plan, there were both offensive and defensive maneuvers. The common thread linking these two aspects was the group of people before her—a realization that dawned on her after learning the true identities of Wang Yizhi and the others from Huan Yuan.
Su Chen spoke bluntly to Jack King, "Aren't you Americans always so straightforward?" With that, he ignored Jack King and walked away.
"I can no longer practice medicine, so I'm thinking of getting into the medicinal herb business..." Zhen Shiniang said calmly and unhurriedly.
"What kind of nonsensical gibberish is that?" Jimo Qinglian couldn't help but laugh at Niu Dashan's remark.
Xia Lin was stunned. The power of the "Descent of the Barbarian Sovereign" was within his expectations, but the warning to "use with caution" truly surprised him. Why was such caution necessary?
It was just a few strips of gauze; they could simply buy more. The Zhongtang Mansion wasn't short on a few taels of silver, so why bother counting them so meticulously?
He trusted the Ghost Ancestor’s words—or perhaps he trusted the Ghost Ancestor's good intentions. Regardless of whether the premonition was accurate, he felt he should remember the gesture, so he returned to the mountain to consult with Rui Yuan and make preparations in advance.
While Chu Yu couldn't help but admire him, a strong sense of vigilance and caution rose within her. Things she had pondered for a long time were understood by Rong Zhi the moment she mentioned them. This youth was simply too intelligent—so intelligent that it frightened her.
Zhang Pa laughed along with him for a while, though his heart felt heavy. People are most prone to nostalgia in times of adversity, especially when revisiting places they have walked before. Looking at the surrounding darkness, realizing that the people he once knew were now dead—this is the impermanence of the human world.
An average top-tier indestructible artifact costs about 300 star beads. Saving 60 star beads is enough to buy more than a dozen fine-quality indestructible artifacts.
Performative people only start feigning benevolence once the bodies begin to pile up and the displaced victims start attacking the towns.
He currently maintained his image in the State Security Department as the same "good-natured fellow" who could never be molded into anything useful. Although Han Rishan’s status had improved after Wen Chen became the Director, he still needed to maintain his original persona to continue his undercover work.
The youth in white robes shook his head in disappointment, ignored the shame and anger on the armored soldier's face, and tossed him aside.
Only the descendants of ancient creatures could cultivate well even in places where spiritual energy was scarce and possess superior combat power. However, those monsters were mostly intelligent and would seek out areas rich in spiritual energy themselves; they shouldn't be lingering on this mountain.
As Su Lin ran with Liu Chunhua, he saw the bloody characters on the walls come to life, transforming into crimson spikes that lunged at him—entities existing somewhere between the physical and the spiritual.
Jiang Ying arrived at a mountain hollow ten miles away, where a flower wall about a yard in diameter was buried in a thick layer of snow, with only its arched top exposed.
Wang Ye headed to the Primordial Star, using a divine divination disc to quietly and secretly relocate the powerful figures within the Ancient Star Abyss.
Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and vast; with tens of thousands of medicinal herbs and countless complex formulas, one cannot even grasp the basics without decades of study.
Looking at Dullen, his expression shifted constantly. Instead of the expected rage, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Running all the way to the first floor, Luo Qi found a restroom and struggled for a long time to wash away the scent Chu Yexiao had left on her. After coming out, although she felt physically unwell, she had lost all appetite.
However, because of this safety accident, over a dozen lives were lost, meaning over a dozen families were left shattered. Even though Li Youcai was a stranger to them, he felt a wave of guilt and heartache.
Long Yun answered firmly. It was the first time the regiment commander had personally assigned tasks to the company! Long Yun could understand the commander’s painstaking efforts.
At the end of the year, the officials collectively petitioned the Emperor to take in more concubines to fill the harem. Yi Huaiyu refused. Later, persuaded by the State Preceptor Shen Junfang, he married Princess Yuhan of the neighboring country as the Imperial Noble Consort and formed an alliance with her nation. On the wedding night, Princess Yuhan, now the Imperial Noble Consort, was left to spend the night alone in an empty room, and Yi Huaiyu did not appear even by noon the next day.
"Transporting goods?" Jian Xin was stunned by these words. Her intuition told her that this "transporting" was likely not as simple as it sounded. Yet, she could never have imagined that it would be the kind of thing often portrayed in television dramas.
And now, he had merely skimmed a little extra money from a budget application. What did that matter as compensation for his years of hard work for the company, and for the many times he had been passed over for promotion? Yet, he was being deliberately obstructed and his request for approval was being delayed.
Motuo let out a wild laugh, black blood gushing from his mouth. Within seconds, he fell silent.
People are always wary of the unknown, and even those who are skilled in cultivation are no exception. At this moment, Song Yu was already deeply unsettled by the chaotic sounds in the woods.
He misappropriated public funds to buy lottery tickets, covering as many number combinations as possible. He figured that if he won, he could use the winnings to repay the company’s money and make a fortune for himself legally.
The sweet, soft glutinous rice balls were steaming and inviting. Just as Xiao Xiuying was about to scoop the last one into her mouth, Zhang Lian sat down beside her, though she hadn't noticed when he arrived.
"This won't work, that won't work, so what are we supposed to do? Is there any way to kill the insect eggs?" Gong Shaoxian asked anxiously.
No matter where the new mistress took Chu Yang to play, he refused, clamoring instead to see what his concubine-mothers looked like.
