Volume 1, Chapter 38: Dealing with the Liu Xin Family of Three

This is the most precious treasure of the Su family, something entirely unknown to outsiders. In his previous life, Su Fan did not even know of its existence until the family went bankrupt.

At this moment, He Zhiqian was in a foul mood after Shenghua lost a critical project; his face was as dark as ink. The executives in the conference room held their breath, terrified of crossing their boss.

He clutched the Immortal-Slaying Gourd tightly, feeling uneasy, yet the presence of Fang Han by his side brought him some comfort.

However, the sudden tug was enough to send her reeling toward the lotus pond to the side, pulled by Liu Ling'er.

The two companies had long been at odds, each desperate to bring down the other’s star representative. He Zhiqian was certain that if Jianghua Media had obtained these photos months ago, they would never have waited this long to pay marketing accounts to stir up trouble.

It was fortunate that Zhao Guoqiao was far away in Rongcheng. Had he been in Liyang County, given his temperament, he would surely have chopped him to pieces.

Tang Jianye said sternly, "Enough. We are in a high-profile setting, we must maintain our composure." As he spoke, he continued driving inward.

Since he could not repay the favor of a good meal with a gift, Yuan Zhuo was not flustered; he had other ways to repay Ning Dai, such as offering himself.

Of course, Zhou Xinyi did not believe it, but Yang Shifei’s words at least gave her a glimmer of hope.

A knock at the door sounded. Gu Yunzhi dropped the stick in her hand and opened the door. Seeing Gu Jianguo, she was stunned, but immediately guessed his intentions.

Chen Jiayao sighed with a heavy expression, her worry deepening. Having relied on her father for years, she knew him too well—he always reported the good news while hiding the bad, shouldering everything himself and never letting her know.

The Space-Time Beast spoke slowly, his face pale and his breathing labored. Yet, there was no hostility in his words; rather, it felt like the gentle wisdom of a dying man, as if he were trying to help others in his final moments.

Having gone from a bit-part player to the mother-in-law of the male lead, Ning Dai’s mood was suddenly... complicated.

Never one to care about the opinions of others, Ye Jiayin understood this perfectly. After all, lions do not bother to listen to the squeaks of ants, and Huo Yanchen was as fierce as a lion; he could never hold Huo Junhua in high regard.

As Shi Yuzhu pondered this, a partition descended, separating the front and back seats, meaning only she could see Han Lengxuan after he took off his clothes.

"Why didn't you just tell me earlier?" With a better opportunity having just passed, she wouldn't have needed to explain so much to Bai Ling later; what a wasted chance.

Liu Chengye nodded wearily at these words and said in a low voice, "Rest assured, my ministers, I have my own plans." Hearing this, Xu Jian and the other ministers withdrew, knowing full well that further persuasion at this time would be useless.

"I searched it with Liu Yazi; we couldn't have been that careless, could we?" Meng Tianze hurried over with Liu Yazi, his face filled with self-reproach.

Losing to EDG was not painful; having been there himself, he understood exactly how vast the gap between the two teams was.

Then they began to multiply on a massive scale, and over five hundred years, they had turned the magnificent Tier 3 spirit vein into a giant snake den.

But now that Gu Bozhu’s roots were severed, Gu Boli was the only male left to carry on the family line. Consequently, the family would surely have to step in to protect him after the scene he caused at the theater.

The Green Bird was covered in wounds, all from wind blades, while the clothes on Chu Zhenjiang’s body were charred, clearly the result of a fierce battle.

Xu Tianruo and Wu Jilin watched everything from beneath the archway at the town entrance. From the conversation between the middle-aged man surnamed Lu and the man surnamed He, it was clear that no one in Huanglong Town had been implanted with gu-insects; instead, they worshipped some River God.

Meanwhile, Chu Yuheng avoided the pleasantries of the crowd and walked straight into the pavilion. His gaze remained fixed on Yu Wangfei, oblivious to anyone else nearby.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuheng was stunned. He had heard of this reclusive miracle doctor. It was said the man had once served in the Imperial Hospital, but something happened that drove him from the palace, after which he took up residence in a secluded temple west of the city, never interacting with anyone for years.

After speaking, the middle-aged man pinched a series of hand seals, and a cloud of mist appeared, revealing the figure of Shadow Ji within it.

However, because such a life was destined to be impossible for him, not only did his family and relatives avoid mentioning these things in his presence, but Tom himself also tried his best to forget them.

These humans were, at their worst, Tier 5 soldiers. This meant that if he could truly command such an army in the future, he could even challenge the status of a Great Lord.

After thinking this through, Fang Manman felt that the news she had seen earlier was likely true.

The moment You Yunsi pulled the child out, she found strength from somewhere, suddenly grabbing his hand. Her tearful eyes stared intently at him, her mouth moving to form three words in silence: "Why?"

At the same time, the dense fog around the long-legged woman was blown away by the massive air currents, revealing the mutants fighting within.
