Chapter 108: Dragon Spring Villa

In the afternoon, Ouyang Xue drove over to pick up Shen Xin and the others. Shen Xin had Tang Ziran ride the giant goose to follow along, while he drove his own car behind Ouyang Xue’s.

About half an hour later, Ouyang Xue pulled up to a mountainous area. This was a fairly remote spot on the outskirts of Niucheng. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a natural lake spanning over a hundred acres in the front.

Upon entering the gate, the owner, a stout middle-aged man, came out immediately to welcome them. He recognized Yao Ming at a glance—well, that was hardly a surprising event.

The rhythmic clacking of high heels against the floor echoed, as if declaring the owner’s fury.

The same Western Conference Finals, stepping over the same opponent to advance to the next round—this was the outcome Yao Ming truly desired.

As soon as the words left his lips, Lu Huaiqiu realized something was wrong; he desperately fought to control his center of gravity, throwing himself toward Tang Yusheng.

The ground beneath him was loose and soft, feeling hollow, as if every step were landing on a sinkhole, creating the illusion that he was about to be swallowed by the earth.

Yet, judging by the aura of source energy emanating from it, the barrier left behind by his father was clearly far from fragile.

He felt that unless he opened the final gate of the Eight Inner Gates, there was no way he could contend with Tom.

Hearing this, Xu Hao recalled the scene in the mushroom cavern where he had attempted to use the Titan heart to absorb resentment, only for the enhancement to fail.

Scalding blood and fragments of flesh sprayed along the path of her blade like a kill effect in a video game, splattering across the entire asphalt road.

At that moment, the River God bent his knees slightly and crossed his hands in an 'X' shape. Suddenly, starlight erupted between his palms, and a powerful sphere of fluorescent blue energy instantly materialized, radiating a force capable of destroying everything.

Seeing Gao Qing cast a puzzled glance at her, Cui Huimin realized she might have been overthinking things and quickly lowered her head.

Ultimately, Han Yi and Lu Qiu were unable to offer any insights, so Liu Bian made the executive decision to appoint Lu Qiu as the Director of the Bureau of Commerce—a position equal in rank and salary to that of a prefecture governor.

Zhou Quan withdrew his hand from under her clothes, straightened her thermal shirt, and buttoned up her coat.

Gao Qing called out into the living room. His cousin came out first, followed by Lanlan, though his cousin’s wife did not follow immediately.

Just as Zhao Yun was feeling puzzled, he saw Liu Bian flick his right sleeve. With a flutter of fabric, a sword appeared in Liu Bian's hand. This feat of plucking an object from thin air left Zhao Yun stunned and drew a wave of cheers from the audience.

Meng Qi hummed a tune he had made up himself, repeating the same two phrases over and over, wandering back and forth as he searched for Zhang Liangliang.

Moreover, there were several seals between the Kunlun Immortal Realm and the Great Xia Kingdom. Even if the Great Elder of the Underworld Moon Sect were desperate to rescue his precious grandson, he would have to wait at least a month. There was plenty of time; there was no need to be anxious.

Lu You raised his head, his pitch-black eyes sweeping over the faces of the three. He could tell that Qin Yurou, Tian Mei’er, and Fatty Wang were all genuinely concerned for him.

Zhou Quan’s voice carried a hint of anger as he pulled her away. Lin Yi was startled, and in a reflex, she grabbed his collar, pulling him down onto the bed with her.

They had intended to form a battle formation to utterly annihilate Lu You and his group and exact their revenge, but they hadn't expected Lu You to be so decisive. Seeing the formation taking shape, he didn't hesitate for a second, leading his people in a full retreat.

It wasn't just Constable Xing who was stunned; even Liu Mulin, standing beside him, was dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, this consort will take her leave." Murong Qingwan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.

"A child who is not expected, even if born, would only bring added sorrow. This is the decision Heaven has made for me; why should I waste my energy investigating it?" When he first heard the news, his heart felt a momentary pang of pain, but it was quickly replaced by a sense of relief.
