Chapter 49

Meanwhile, Nezha arrived just above the Marquis's estate and swiftly hurled his Universe Ring, striking Dong Quan right on the head and killing him instantly.

"Well, that's not entirely out of the question." Zhang Zhongzhi smiled sincerely, as if he were trying to persuade Yu Youwei to do a remarkably good deed.

"All of you, behave yourselves. Say another word of nonsense and I'll mute you." Likun wiped her mouth, propped her head in her hand, and looked into the distance, feeling a heavy tightness in her chest.

"What is this?" Ye Qingluo's eyes gleamed as she looked at the suddenly appearing crystal stone. She reached out curiously to pick it up, only to grasp at empty air as the crystal vanished instantly.

"Silly Wan'er, what are you still standing there for? Frightened out of your wits?" Ye Qingluo waved her hand in front of her.

At the mere mention of food, not only Wu Yueyi became excited, but even Qin Xinxin started clapping in the back, while Ye Yin covered her face and smiled.

In her past life, she was a handsome, charismatic young man in his early twenties who had been working for some time.

"Your Majesty, do not listen to Noble Lady Wang's nonsense. How could I possibly dance? I actually think Lady Zhang has a fine figure, and her dancing must be exquisite. Why not have Lady Zhang dance a piece for Your Majesty?" Gu Chang'an wanted to shift the topic away from herself, so she used Beauty Zhang as a scapegoat.

Nie Xuemeng dreamed that she had waited for ages outside the emergency room, only to be met in the end by a wheeled stretcher covered with a white sheet and an apologetic expression from the doctor.

"You must have seen wrong, right? There are no mice in a place like this." Lan Zeyan explained.

Miao Qingquan was still somewhat inexperienced after all. When it came to the law, he was probably quite formidable, but in certain aspects, compared to old foxes like Lü Hongwei and Ding Qiyue, he still fell somewhat short.

After being struck several times, quite a few blows landed right on my head. I could even feel a warm liquid flowing from my head down to my face and into my mouth, tasting salty and carrying a faint metallic, fishy tang.

Just then, a burst of black smoke rose from the ring on Zhou Yaqi's finger, which immediately transformed into a black bird and landed on the backrest between Wang Chongyang and Zhou Yaqi.

"Of course you can come, welcome, welcome." Xiao Yun'er handed the fish to Ling Feng, and with fawning eagerness, she helped the Mobei Emperor take a seat before Helan Jing.

"There is indeed an array formation here, but fortunately it's not too complicated. It will only take an hour or two." As she spoke, Xia Ziyan's palms were already moving across the stone wall, as if searching for something.

Ji Ningyuan had originally wanted to quibble, thinking that even if Ye Chen came and tried to intimidate him with violence, it might still be as his mother said—completely lacking in evidence.

Elder Bai had clearly considered everything thoroughly. Lin Xie's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he listened. Lowering his head to ponder for a moment, he realized this was truly an exceptionally good path, and he couldn't help breaking into a smile.

Yang Xunlou smiled and said, "You can't really put it that way. Come... let me introduce you to our major shareholder..." With that, Yang Xunlou ushered Wang Chongyang into the temporary office.

Under these circumstances, it took him only about a month to elevate his comprehension levels of the two elemental affinities he had mastered to the pinnacle of the first tier, successfully melting away the first cross-tier bottleneck he encountered and becoming a mid-level wizard apprentice.

Master Ming smiled slightly, the pair of eyes within his youthful face instantly clearing, resembling a source of water from ten thousand years ago—pure, rich, and translucent.

An hour later, the valley was filled entirely with the corpses of the Satomi army. This time, the Hojo army left not a single prisoner alive; even the captured Katsunobu Husa and Akiie Yoshihisa were beheaded on the spot in the valley.

However, upon learning that the target was entirely outside his sphere of influence, and that they had not even so much as heard of each other, the 'Chaos-Sky Great Wizard' realized that he had perhaps taken things a bit too lightly.

"Which lords of Echigo are currently capable of dispatching troops to 羽州 (Yu Province)?" Asakazu had not wanted to mobilize the Echigo forces again, but the development of the situation no longer permitted him otherwise.

A myriad of thoughts drifted through his mind, yet Gu Ge's state of mind remained as calm as still water. He was currently in an unruffled state, immune to the influence of external objects.

Even if she knew, the Madam would not abandon such an arrangement. In her heart, Qu Xiaodian was merely an item she used to bind Han Bing to her; as for Gongsun Tianxang, he would not give up either. To him, the union between Qu Xiaodian and Han Bing might be unfortunate, but it was beneficial to the future development of the Gongsun family.

Looking beneath the eunuch's tall hat, Fusu saw a dark complexion; it was impossible to tell which palace messenger had delivered the decree. Yet judging by the posture, it did not look like a fake. After all, the imperial decree in that hand and the object wrapped in a cloth curtain looked uncannily like the door curtain from his father's carriage.

Shen Honglie was so infuriated that his beard bristled. This Sun Sanmin was simply impossible; wasn't this deliberately crossing paths with him? If they kept arguing like this, today's meeting wouldn't even need to be held.

Although he was the first to stick his neck out and seemed immensely brave, this wolf actually had sharp wits. Even using his tail to think, he knew what the outcome would be of fighting Yuxuan single-handedly.

Zhu Biao looked startled. How could Zhao Fu's strength be so terrifying after merely this much time? Having fallen defeat to such a person, Zhu Biao had nothing to say; he was indeed inferior to Zhao Fu.

"I am the same," the handsome man said indifferently, stepping forward at the same time to rest his hand on Yun Qing's shoulder.

Just as the diners were heaping praises upon Shopkeeper Sun, Jia Gui, with his rat-like appearance and sneaky demeanor, rushed out from the private dining room like a mouse.

Zhao Fu could actually resolve these matters himself, and Red Wine also found that she had nothing more to say, so she let Zhao Fu continue to focus wholeheartedly on his cultivation, promising to provide him with medicinal pills and other auxiliary items for his practice.

With the remaining money, Zhao Fu purchased 3 Life-Protecting Pills, which possessed remarkable healing efficacy when one was severely injured.

However, Ariel did not like him, nor did she harbor any desire to embark on yet another romance between a princess and a mafia boss.

I still remember the words spoken by that yellow-furred weasel with slightly whitish fur back when I was leaving all those years ago.

The new roommate was named Cen Huan, a graduate student in the Department of Architecture. Although she was a northerner, her looks and figure bore more resemblance to someone from the south.

This was a secluded corner of the bustling metropolis, a den of debauchery in the imperial capital's nocturnal underworld, where even the air was suffused with a decadent fragrance of sensual indulgence.
