109 Chapter 109

“No, no, I did bring quite a bit of silver with me, but after I drank and woke up, both the silver and my sword were gone,” Hua Nongyue explained. Unbeknownst to her, such an explanation was futile to them; all they cared about was getting their hands on the silver.

Liu Yingxuan and I smoked quietly as the two dilapidated carts before us lay still. I asked, “What should we do with these two bodies?”

Chen Yue took the hand warmer from Yuluocha with a faint smile. “Third brother, no need for rudeness. Today, we have honored guests, and as the host, I must extend my hospitality. Besides, I’m curious to see the princess’s residence.”

“She’s resting in the office and should be fine. Actually, sister-in-law, you know better than I do—he’s suffering from a mental ailment,” Tao Yan said cautiously.

After the treaty was signed, Fang Xiaoyu immediately launched an ambitious plan to build a series of new warships. To this end, Fang Xiaoyu stayed for two months at the Naval Design Institute, collaborating with Dietman and Xu Shouchang to redesign several new classes of warships.

She wore a snowy white robe, its hem fluttering gently in the breeze. Her long hair was loosely tied back with a white satin ribbon, casually draped over her shoulders. Two strands of jet-black hair framed her cheeks, swaying gracefully with her movements and tracing elegant arcs in the soft wind.

“What does it matter if the wedding had some hiccups? At least you married the man you love,” Zhong Yao’s eyes dimmed with sorrow.

When Xu Yang entered, he saw the remarkably handsome emperor deep in thought. He bowed respectfully, “Your Majesty.”

Though aware, watching Shen Hanqiu’s retreating figure, Hua Nongyue desperately wanted to blame herself, yet this grudge could not be left unresolved. Now that everything had ended, she was at a loss as to where to go from here.

Lao Yaz was once nearly used as nourishment for the Star Torch. Fortunately, Franz’s wife spared no effort to rescue her from the brink of death, and as a result, she chose to pledge eternal loyalty to the governor’s family before her.

Cole Fallon and Aeribas, currently executing another plan, were unanimously recognized by the Whisperers Legion as the most treacherous.

The steps of the Li Guang III mecha advanced as its slender straight blade sliced downward. The iron-hard roots of the Fearless Ghost Tree stood no chance against the sharp edge of the battle sword.

“Why don’t you just go live with the elders? The door’s right there!” Ma Guixiang glared at Li Dayong, pointing toward the exit.

Visible to the naked eye, a grid-like blue beam of light surged upward beneath the intersecting crosses, striking an invisible barrier beyond the ceiling and causing it to tremble faintly.

Li Wanyue checked to ensure she hadn’t forgotten anything, tied the two remaining baskets securely, mounted her cart, and departed.

Perhaps due to his youth, Meng Xingye’s physique did not match the robust and solid build typical of the Meng family heirs through history, yet his spirit and willpower were undoubtedly their true legacy.

Mu Yunshang frowned as she drank the cup of wine, which carried a sour and bitter taste, making it hard to swallow.

Indeed, this was all part of a plan long in the making between Ak and Morpheus. Though they appeared passive on the surface, neither took the situation seriously. This was a reflection of their confidence in their own strength and the best countermeasure against the wretched creatures.

Gu Liufeng’s body was entirely dependent on Qin Liange’s; fortunately, Qin Liange was also a mech warrior with excellent physical conditioning. Otherwise, bearing Gu Liufeng’s weight alone would have been an arduous task.

However, in Central Continent, the strongest force was the human faction led by the Dao League. The Dao League represented humanity, commanding absolute obedience across the entire Nine Provinces.

With these thoughts, a sense of foreboding rose within, prompting a whispered apology to those nearby before quietly withdrawing. Hastily, they made their way back to the Jiang estate.

She finally understood that Yun Ting’s purpose was likely more than just avenging her—it was to eliminate a thorn in her own side.

“Big brother, open the door. I’m here looking for someone,” Yao Su said with a polite smile.

Jiang Han glanced at the two, but they only gave him a fleeting look before turning their gazes elsewhere.

Later, by chance, she discovered an online article about steamed flower buns. The buns were produced on a large scale, some intricately designed and elegant enough to sell for over a thousand yuan, which amazed her greatly.

Sergeant Yu finally drew his pistol, but the three bullets fired at the mutant dog were like mere tickles... The pistol’s rounds were simply too weak to cause significant damage to such mutated creatures.

The inner chamber was spacious, but thick curtains hung over the windows leading outside, blocking most of the light. The room was pitch black, feeling less like stepping through a door and more like descending underground.

After enduring several days, she became accustomed to it. No matter how pungent or eye-watering the smell, she slept soundly, having truly done a month’s worth of hard labor.

To obtain whatever he desired, Kunwu had always acted without scruples. Numerous times, he had annihilated entire families without hesitation when disrespected.

“If I have done anything inappropriate to you, you may kill me...” Ils pulled a dagger from beneath the bedding and handed it to Amelia.
