Volume 1, Chapter 36: Old Zhu Is Depressed

Madame Zheng had already missed the opportunity to explain, so she simply chose not to. As the saying goes, when parents are alive, there is no private property; therefore, what belonged to Yunxiu was also hers. If she took it, what could anyone do to her?

A drop of rain splashed onto Lu Fan, and it was only then that he suddenly realized he had sprouted from the soil, with two delicate young leaves emerging at the top. He had transformed from a seed into a seedling.

But no matter how one looked at it, Madame Zheng would not frame Yunxiu for such a thing—after all, she was the daughter of a prestigious family and was on the verge of becoming a Chancellor's wife herself. Even if she truly could not tolerate Yunxiu, she had plenty of methods and time to do so without dirtying her own hands.

"It is of no concern. Since I have spoken, I am naturally confident. Besides, if I lose the bet, given the magnanimity of the masters, you surely would not take my life, would you?" Xu Yang smiled faintly.

The palm imprints struck the Blazing Gyr-Snake repeatedly. It could no longer maintain its form in the air and plummeted from the sky.

All his doubts and anxieties vanished. He only thought that no matter how dangerous and difficult the path ahead might be, he must bring her back safely and then, at all costs, take her as his wife.

Zhao Dachao watched Wu Hua’s furious expression and sighed inwardly, thinking it was all over. He figured the Third Brother must have been caught by Liu Dongmei while meeting Ye Jingchu in secret; now that she knew he had tipped them off, she had come specifically to settle the score.

Yet, despite his deep affection for the mining area and the sense of responsibility this job imposed upon him, he saw not a shred of reciprocation for his efforts from others. It was as if his devotion and labor for the mine were merely the expected duties of a worker.

The high walls and deep courtyards were silent and deserted. However, one could vaguely see the brightly lit corridors and pavilions in the distance above the walls, suggesting a place of great wealth and luxury.

"The monster is here again!" the villagers of Gao Village shouted. However, they were not particularly afraid; Zhu Ganglie came every few days, but he had never harmed anyone.

His heart beat slowly but powerfully, pumping heavy, scorching blood through his vessels. The sound it made as it rushed against the vessel walls was as soul-stirring as crashing waves.

His hundreds of subordinates, realizing the enemy was nothing more than a bunch of trash whose acting skills far exceeded their combat ability, mustered their courage, divided into four phalanxes, and pursued them.

The Druid's sub-soul immediately used two "Full Rejuvenation Potions" from the Sash of Snake Self-Repair to restore the vitality of the two spectral guardian knights.

The oppressive atmosphere had lasted for a full ten minutes. The massive office was packed solid with over a hundred middle and senior management staff and employees from the cybersecurity department.

Following this, Abel spent three days forging a set of equipment for himself, including a suit of armor, a shield, and a knight's lance.

As Guo Yang drove past Xinhua North Road, his gaze suddenly landed on a unit with closed gates by the roadside, where the mottled, rusted sign reading "Xinsheng Foreign Trade Fleet" was still vaguely visible.

How high could the trading volume of top-tier treasures within those worlds really be? The primary trade still consisted of those mid-to-lower-level resources.

Faced with this demand, the farmers were anxious, yet they had no other choice.

"Reporting to Lord Dragon Thorn, the General... no, the old dog Chi Yan has taken over a hundred of his trusted followers, along with a large amount of gold, and is fleeing toward the Desert City," the leader said, kowtowing.

Wang Yehui was deeply impressed by this man who possessed a keen eye for talent and went to great lengths to recruit it. In just a few years, this genius had transformed the County People’s Hospital into an institution surpassing the Provincial and City First Hospitals; previously incurable cases that required treatment at the provincial hospital were now being sent back to the county for care.

"What are you even talking about? Do you know anything at all to be spewing such nonsense? The day Staff Officer Gao took me to meet with Team Leader Xue, we encountered mercenaries. If he hadn't provided cover, it’s uncertain if Staff Officer Gao and Team Leader Xue would have made it back. Are you really going to curse me like this over a simple misunderstanding?" Wang Feng said, his face flushed with anger.

"Haha! Mr. Tang truly shocked everyone! Look at this hair, haha! And this clothing, was it made from the sketches drawn by my Lord?" After laughing heartily, Captain Hai found that the more he looked, the more he got used to it, and gradually, he even began to like it.

"Hansu, doesn't the company provide you with a car? Why don't I ever see you driving it home?" Han Xiao asked curiously.

A mist of blood sprayed from Zheng San's mouth, and then, with a clatter, Zheng San and his chair toppled backward onto the floor.

As for the Force of Void, there was no need to mention it; he hadn't even gathered the laws yet. If not for the unique nature of the Force of Void, it would have been of no use to him at all.

This was because the host for the day was none other than the current Tejin, General Who Guards the State, Duke of Longde, Shang Zhuguo, and Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Zhao Hao—a member of the Great Song imperial clan who was currently at the height of his power and a highly favored courtier in the eyes of the Emperor.

He felt surprised inwardly, but not daring to disobey, he smiled and said, "Please, continue your conversation," then turned and gracefully walked out.

To help players better utilize these NPC teammates, the game designers set it so that the shooting percentage would only be high if the player received a pass from a teammate. This forced players to execute tactics and run continuously, making the game more diverse and better at retaining players.

"Croak..." When the giant golden toad saw someone snatching food from its mouth, it became instantly enraged. Two enormous beams of golden light, like solid pillars, shot from its massive eyes and slammed into the black furnace with a "boom."

When Feng Shandong reached this point, he frowned. He had originally intended to enter the ruins of the Seventh Platoon for training.

Sighing, Lin Yumeng took out the map and examined it again and again, hoping to see something special, but unfortunately, nothing appeared. Helplessly putting the map away, she never imagined there would be so many checkpoints to cross on this route; otherwise, she wouldn't have traveled so leisurely.

Zhang Donghai took a sip of his homemade fruit wine and a bite of the tender, white lobster meat. It was incredibly comfortable.

Years ago, after Shen Yun and her maid were frightened by someone posing as the ghost of a beautiful woman, their sleep had always been light. Thus, the moment she heard Ye Lusheng's few coughs, she woke up immediately.

When dealing with injured people, Xiao Yunfei had only one principle: to attack their injured parts or their weakest points of defense as much as possible. Consequently, these injured men were no more than chopped vegetables before him; however, desires and reality often differ.

"You should have told me about this sooner. Now that so much time has been wasted, I don't know if it can be fully cured." Madam Ye usually told him to rest more, secretly thinking of promoting Mr. Tao so that Xiuwan could live a better life in the Ye household.
