Chapter Twenty-One

Zhao Xi was initially quite curious, but after seeing the system's explanation, his face couldn't help but twitch. He wondered who this spendthrift system had learned from, as it certainly hadn't been this cheeky at the beginning.

Lei Sheng was taken aback, feeling a genuine urge to laugh, but out of respect for Kun Jian, he stifled the laughter with great effort.

He could not control his appetite; if he didn't eat his fill, he would go hungry, so he had no choice but to act like a bottomless pit under the astonished gazes of others.

As Zhao Xi felt that he had recovered for the most part, he noticed the light enveloping them slowly retracting back into the staff, eventually vanishing into it completely, as if it had never appeared at all.

Xin Linlin looked toward Sima Yu; at a single command from him, he would find a way to drag Jiang Chen back.

It turned out that just moments ago, Ji Wusheng had been fleeing in a panic from an adult savage and, failing to watch his surroundings, had inadvertently stumbled into a strange forest.

"Purchasing a magic tool? Junior brother, this is..." Deacon Wu asked, full of confusion. Outer sect disciples did not leave the sect, so they generally had no use for magic tools.

A bright red flame rose from Yu Hongyi’s body. A mesmerizing, faint smile played on his face, and his eyes, which could topple nations, looked toward Yu Qingran with a provocative glint.

But no matter how agile a loach is, it cannot escape a skilled fisherman. Perhaps Zhao Qingyi was too complacent, or perhaps she had grown tired after running for so long; Nie Mingyue seized the moment, swept her sword horizontally along the ground, and without pausing, she retracted her Phoenix Feather Sword and struck a heavy palm directly against Zhao Qingyi’s ample chest.

Zhou Zekai pulled Tang Bingyu up, and the two politely signaled to the applauding audience. At that moment, the entire venue seemed to belong to them. As they reached their original dining table, the restaurant manager approached.

"If you ask me, let's just leave it at that. Anyone who gets caught up in the strange happenings in there is as good as dead. I suspect we were under the influence of some kind of hallucinogenic drug or something; I just hope there are no lingering side effects," Jiang Fangli muttered, pouting while blowing on a piece of hot luncheon meat and inhaling sharply.

Not only the Emperor, but the residences of the Emperor’s brothers were also quite tranquil. Among them, Prince Rui Chenghu, Prince Zhuang Wanfu, Prince Nan Yin’e, Prince Lian Yinsi, and Prince Min Yintang all had only a primary wife. The first four were deeply devoted to their spouses, while although Yintang’s relationship with his wife was not bad, the main reason he had no concubines was that he was obsessed with inventions.

They had witnessed Xia Xuan’s great battle in Tokyo on television yesterday; one strike could cleave a car in two and split a wall. If that were to land on a person, wouldn't they be done for?

Old Cat stared coldly like an eagle. Seeing Peng Hu being so partial to a few male soldiers, he could only smile helplessly.

This incredibly sharp sonic wave was emitted by the Essence Whale King. He hissed toward the heavens—this was his innate divine ability, capable of inflicting severe injuries even from hundreds of miles away.

At this moment, Shi Muyun slowed his pace, crossing the river surface of the Lake of Illusions. This was not the only way to the face of the great god Ersomsuo, but Shi Muyun had his own plans.

These two soldiers had once been his pride. Now that they had both devolved into criminals, how could he show his face?

Now that Du Mingheng had proposed bringing Ye and Yan along, the few junior brothers and sisters had no objections; on the contrary, they were quite happy.

He held her smooth shoulders, straightened her up, and let Tamia sit properly on the bed, then helped wipe the tears from her face.

To unleash the full power of a low-grade magic treasure, one needed the mana of a Golden Core stage cultivator; such power was enough to shatter mountains and sever rivers.

"I hope nothing goes wrong," Ye Ran murmured, looking in the direction where Qiu Xuan and the others had departed. No one knew if Ye Ran was praying for Qiu Xuan’s safety or for the safety of Heishan Province.

The true-cultivator elders were spread out all around the dragon boat, fearing that dangers lurking in the shadows might suddenly strike.

"Alright, it's getting late. You should go back. Once the curfew starts, you won't be able to get out," the cook said.

At Long Yating’s command, the group could only nod in agreement. Various types of spiritual energy converged, lifting the scorching cannon barrel out of the crystalline cooling liquid and locking it back into the grooves of the annihilation cannon array, where those skilled in formation arts activated the patterns.

Looking closely, there were nine in total, twisting in the air and weaving a scene that shook the world, with tiny glimmers of golden light leaking from their center.

Therefore, You Jingyan did not mention a word to the bailiffs about everything he had done for Yang Hu.

Following the death of Guan Yu in battle, and with Zhang Fei and Xu Shu departing one after another, Liu Bei realized that he was doomed. Even if he surrendered, Han Wei would not spare him.

Judging from Huang Mengmeng’s speech and conduct, his attire, and the fact that he took a first-class ticket home, his family background was likely quite wealthy.

The desire to keep it for himself accounted for part of the reason, while the other part was that he didn't know how to explain how he had discovered this immortal cave.

This time, even the strategist Yang Fu couldn't help but offer advice. In truth, there was no personal feud between Yang Fu and Ma Chao; the ones who had slaughtered the people of Ji County back then were Zhang Heng and Cheng Yi, which had nothing to do with Ma Chao directly. Thus, this advice was merely a matter of loyalty and honesty, devoid of personal grudges.

"My Lord, save me!" Sheng Yanshi knelt on the floor with a "thud." Liu Da, who was serving nearby, looked like a rabbit struck by an arrow. He immediately chased all the servants out, closed the door, and pulled up a stool to sit by the entrance.

Now that Wang Fang had inadvertently brought up the issue of ownership, and it just so happened to be overheard by people from Cangxi County, they couldn't help but interject.

He had witnessed Chu Yang’s methods; usually, it was fine, but once he erupted, he was decisive, ruthless, and merciless.

After dodging a few rounds and taking the opportunity to regain his composure, Wang Yan-zhang’s spear turned from defense to offense, thrusting straight at Oboi’s chest.

At twenty-one years of age, his title had reached Duke of Chu. Among the original generals of the Niangzi Army, his prestige was higher than that of the Prince of Huainan and Chai Shao. Guanyinbi, do you know? During the Battle of Tongguan, the total strength of the Taiyuan elite troops was only forty thousand. And back then, the Third Sister’s Niangzi Army was nearly eighty thousand strong.

"Don't tell me about that. The Disciplinary Commission and the public security, procuratorial, and judicial departments will be here soon. Just explain everything clearly to them," Zhang Weiquan interrupted Hu Zuokun impatiently.
