Chapter 62

"I just hope you won't regret it." That softly uttered sentence almost brought tears to Emperor Xiaojing's eyes. Eight years ago, blinded by anger and terror, he had acted in the exact same manner, stubbornly refusing advice and following his own reckless path.

"Rest assured. A sufficient labor force and a stable order will inevitably lead to economic development," Lin Yue replied with a smile.

"..." Cheng Wei had no idea how to respond to this. Having lived this long, it was his first time ever being confessed to. It felt as though he had suddenly been struck by a ten-million-dollar lottery ticket, completely tangling his mind into an absolute mess.

Hearing Han Rong put it that way, I truly felt a strong sense of grievance. Why strike me without distinguishing right from wrong, without asking a single question?

The moment he turned his head, he saw that the steel-toothed beast was still closely trailing behind. As Wang Chongyang turned, his pace slowed ever so slightly, and the creature immediately lunged forward, clamping its jaws tightly around his torso.

Without asking for their opinions, Lin Yue directly stated his view: adopting a point-based system for distribution. Previous labor had been carried out through fixed wage tasks, and meals were distributed equally, which had left most people lacking any real drive to work.

One day, he returned in the middle of the night, tearing my clothes apart in the dark just as he had done the first time we were together, entering me without a shred of gentleness. Then, over and over, he manipulated my body through various postures, as if seeking solace from some deep, unknown void.

In fact, the moment the figure in black had appeared, Wang Chongyang had vaguely guessed his identity. Hearing Jiang Zhenzu confirm it now only solidified his suspicions.

"Father, what are you saying? Take good care of Mother, I shall go and return at once!" With that, Liu Chuan leaped away into the air.

Consort Qi clearly plotted wholeheartedly for her son's future, yet in the end she could not gain the eldest prince's support. How could she possibly feel at ease in her heart? Every time she spoke with Hongyun, he remained unhurried, while Consort Qi would frequently work herself up to the point of absolute exasperation.

Though Laobusi's voice was somewhat faint, it still reached the ears of Yao Beibei and Bai Ziming. Through layers of obstacles, the two exchanged glances, their faces heavy with solemn expressions.

Because Zhong Shan was unable to timely and effectively manage the industries on this planet, the primary and most essential quality he required in his employees was loyalty. It mattered not if you were mediocre; as long as you were loyal, even if you were as clumsy as Xu Sanduo, he could train you into someone as formidable as Kim Jong-un.

Yelin gazed up at the night sky and murmured, "Brother, I trust you. Since you gave your personal jade pendant to this child, you must have already confirmed that he is indeed your son." A look of gratified relief flashed across his eyes as he finished speaking.

A vast amount of blood sprayed out as if it were worthless, only to be instantly obliterated and dissolved by the dark red energy while still suspended in mid-air.

"I believe we have said enough just now, and I have nothing further to discuss with you. Step aside," Jin Yunmo said with a gloomy expression.

For Gongsun Di, the excitement was real, the gratitude was real, but the desire to torture and kill was just as real.

The weather was not yet overly sultry, so Zhiyun asked Qiao'er to fetch some ice stored in the cellar with October's help, and made several bowls of shaved ice, drizzling them with rich, sweet honey and fruit syrup.

Gao Junhao had originally intended to tell Shangguan Feng that her poison had not been completely purged, but only temporarily suppressed, and that he had yet to find a cure. However, hearing Yiyi speak the way she did, he stopped short of finishing his words because he did not want to cause her despair and loss of hope. He secretly resolved to find the antidote for Shangguan Feng no Zhentarim.

PS: Today's question is, in this chapter, Luotian has obtained another top-tier elemental fusion staff. What staff is it?

Just as Lin Kun found himself with nowhere left to retreat, Shen Fang suddenly stumbled, her body collapsing like a deflated balloon.

Standing beside Xu Ling with his arms crossed, Nian Chen turned his head slightly and gazed down at Xu Ling's right hand hanging by his side.

His neck was seized and choked once more, given not even a fraction of a second to buffer before he was forcefully hauled to his feet. His legs trembled uncontrollably, and a piercing scream finally burst from his throat.

Wang Ling said, "I told you to hurry up and eat, I'll show you something turning purple in a moment, alright?" I also liked the purple pupils, but looking at Qing'er—considering she was essentially a python—felt somewhat unsettling.

As Zhao Shijiang watched Tong Muhe tremble all over, he thought that if the entity could transform into a human face, its smile would surely be far uglier than its tears.

The water dragon, seeing this, also transformed into an elder clad in blue robes, adorned with blue crystal dragon horns and sporting frosted wings upon his back. He returned the greeting with folded fists.

Terrified shouts rang out as the soldiers panicked, clueless as to what was happening. By the time they realized the crossbow bolts were raining down from the surrounding streets and rooftops, over four hundred Liao soldiers had already perished beneath the dense barrage of repeating crossbows.

Just like Milos right now, he could clearly perceive the shifts in the magic elements surrounding Lorrain at this moment, though his expression was somewhat bizarre.

"Young Master cousin, I have a task for you." With that, Xu Qian leaned close to Lin Kun's ear and whispered for a moment. Lin Kun nodded perplexedly and then departed.

"Oh, right! If you want to ask us anything, you've got to tell us your name first!" chimed in the dark-skinned, powerfully built man immediately afterward.

Zhao Gan gave a faint smile and reached out to firmly shake the other's hand, instantly creating a harmonious and jovial atmosphere among the three of them. Yet, deep down, Zhao Gan knew very well that if he had the proper channels, selling it for ten million would be a walk in the park.

Cleverness makes one, and cleverness breaks one. Though her disguise was flawless, she could never truly fake the pure innocence of Susu. Yet once the disguise was stripped away, all that remained of her was merely a pretty face.

Light is necessary to banish darkness, but for mortals, the presence of light is at times no better than its absence! For the very instant that lightbulb flared to life, Song Daowei's pupils dilated sharply before abruptly contracting.

At this moment, both Alex and Landry tacitly refrained from asking any questions. They knew full well that Phelps had spoken at such length entirely out of regard for Li Yan. He would naturally answer Li Yan's inquiries, but if they were the ones asking, he might not be so accommodating.
