Chapter 52 Small Gifts

After an interval of several months, Zhao Guoji came to the Rongguo Mansion once again to report on the status of the flower shop and the medicinal herb fields to Qin Mingyue.

With Cuiliu successfully capturing Lady Wang's attention, Qin Mingyue had no fear that Zhao Guoji's visit would draw unnecessary scrutiny from her.

"Presently, the herbs in the fields are thriving, but some issues have arisen regarding the flower shop. Quite a few new flower shops have opened in the capital recently. Although they do not match our reputation, they are nonetheless cutting into our business," Zhao Guoji noted, having observed a dip in revenue over this period.

"Twin sabers?" Not only was Guyu greatly startled, but the thousands of people surrounding him also cried out in exaggerated shock, clearly unaccustomed to such astonishment for quite some time.

The gasoline leaking from the rear of the truck spilled directly across the wide road. The spiders stepping onto it immediately lost their footing, which somewhat hindered their advance. However, several of them had already shot out webs from their tails, sticking firmly to the large cargo truck.

At that moment, a tearing sensation of ripping flesh and skin washed over him. When Li Nan looked down, he discovered that a chunk of flesh had been torn right off his right shoulder, while the concrete wall beside him was stained a brilliant crimson.

The situation had now descended into complete chaos; even Li Fei was knocked off his horse, leaving the remaining soldiers utterly devoid of morale. The rout had finally begun.

"What? Why would it harm Canyuan?" Mo Beihao asked in bewilderment, wouldn't this turn out for the better?

"This wretched banner is truly a nuisance!" Tie Zheng was entirely dissatisfied with the burden trailing behind him, feeling it completely restricted his movements and prevented him from stretching his muscles properly.

The dark guard listened to Yang Jin's angry words without daring to utter a sound, forced to lower his head deeply and let Yang Jin vent the fury burning in his heart.

If he were to let him know about all this? Then it was highly likely—Xiyan believed that regardless of whether the other party belonged to the red-blooded nobility or the celestial nobility—Guyu would risk his life to protect her. Yet, that was precisely what worried Xiyan the most.

As it turned out, she had merely been trapped within an illusion a moment earlier, and all the zombies were nothing more than empty phantoms, a battlefield simulated from the memories within her own mind.

Just as the voice faded, accompanied by the dull thud of a heavy object striking the ground, Danzo, depleted of his final ounce of strength, once again collapsed powerlessly to the earth, his life signs extinguished forever.

Having been passed down through a single lineage for generations, their bloodline was now completely severed following the deaths of Victor and Blanc.

At present, North Departure belonged entirely to Xiao Chong's domain. Without his permission, even Baili Dongjun, who had truly stepped into the realm of Wandering Immortality, would not dare to dispute him, unless he intended to commit treason.

"I'm sorry, we are merely executing our orders." Seeing that they were foreigners, the Japanese police wished to avoid unnecessary trouble, but since their superiors had instructed them to investigate everyone indiscriminately, they had no other choice.

Among the Red River City troops, the only ones who had not yet entered the city were the contingent from the Hundred Beasts Workshop, and Sima Yanhong was among them. However, the elite guards who had originally protected her had vanished.

Qin Wu wished to secure his grandmother's support, but to his surprise, the first to speak was not his grandmother, but his cousin Feng Yun.

Subsequently, Nangong Hao kneaded the lifelike soul of the beastman chieftain—which still appeared as though it were living—into a ball, placing it within the magic array on his palm to slowly extract the memories contained within.

Joyfully preparing herself, Ye Tingting hastily placed a call to Shangguan Fengqian, who completely ignored her.

Why should Ai put the cart before the horse by trying to create trouble for the Hidden Leaf Village and becoming a second Hidden Sand Village, instead of leveraging the relationship between Killer Bee and Naruto to forge an alliance with the Hidden Leaf Village in advance, thereby clinging to such a reliable powerhouse?

Everyone turned their gaze toward Moqi. They would certainly not risk sacrificing themselves to annihilate the enemy; if this issue remained unresolved, commanding them would be no easy task.

Qin Xiaoman's words were far sharper than those of Xia Yuan, every single sentence thoroughly calculated and delivered with exquisite conversational skill.

"It is a pity there are no carcasses of Ink-Jade grade fierce beasts," Jiang Dong羽 remarked with a self-deprecating chuckle. Ink-Jade grade fierce beasts were extraordinarily ferocious; even when a struggle for royal supremacy erupted, they still possessed numerous ways to preserve their lives.
