Chapter 64: Selling the Black Truffles

Fang Mingxi’s heart skipped a beat. Who was this person, and why did she address her so familiarly as Xixi?

Little Yu? Did this middle-aged woman in front of her know He Yu?

Why did she have no recollection of this person? She hadn't seen her at the brigade leader’s house during her previous visits for meals.

As Fang Mingxi remained silent, a worried He Qiu reached out to pull her over.

"Xixi, who is this person next to you? Have you been tricked into coming here? Come over to my side, and I will call your brigade leader right away."

Noble Consort Min had indeed suffered a great deal. Accustomed to a life of luxury and pampered ease, she had grown increasingly panicked and exhausted over this period, looking noticeably worn and haggard in a short span of time.

If Yue Zhengyang were to get too close, he would probably land a heavy punch right on his own face. Should a physical altercation break out, it would be humiliating no matter how one looked at it.

Well, well, it turned out everyone had been thinking the exact same thing, assuming once again that Wen Zhaosheng had somehow managed to find another young woman.

A flash of inspiration struck Yue Zhengyang. He dismounted his bicycle, wheeled it up to the storefront, and inquired of a middle-aged man around forty years of age.

Then, after taking a snowball thrown by who-knows-who, Ji Bai joined the fray as well.

Afterward, Gu Sihan composed her wounded feelings, forcing herself to appear as gentle and captivating as possible.

Lin Mubai had done it on purpose. He had spotted Su Yu sitting right in front of him back in the screening room, but at the time, he simply hadn't felt like speaking up.

Hearing Zhao Dahu speak thus, the rest of the group also began to relax. They gazed intently in the direction of Lin Yulu and Li Monong, chiming in to echo Zhao Dahu's words one after another.

She truly could not fathom why this ancestor of a man insisted on tagging along with her for no good reason. Once there, he wouldn't even speak, just sitting there pulling a long face as if to spite everyone present.

Not long after Lin Yuxi hung up the phone, a knock sounded at her office door.

On her onward journey, Callys also pondered the accounts of demons she had heard previously.

He was pleased by the changes in her. Pushing aside the quilt, he gazed at her through the moonlight. Only as the chilly air enveloped her did she realize that she had already surrendered herself to him during those preceding moments—to a drug lord, a drug lord who ought to be executed by the world.

This was a divine artifact of the celestial realm, renowned as the sharpest and most peerless sacred sword beneath the heavens, imbued with supreme divine might. The mere unsheathing of this divine sword was enough to cause the color of the firmament and the cosmos to shift, capable of severing the sun, moon, and stars at will.

It was precisely at that moment that the sudden, jarring sound of clashing iron chains echoed through the quiet space, followed by a remarkably deep and gloomy voice.

Yang Shuai was momentarily stunned. Was this the renowned Situ Meitang from overseas? I had thought he was a stubborn old-school conservative.

"What do you think? Though saving someone is one matter, whether they can actually be saved is entirely another." How ridiculous; she hadn't even laid eyes on that poison yet, so how could she cure it? Could she just blindly claim she could save him?

Yet even so, by the time she rushed to the Binjiang River Bridge, Li Li and the others had already arrived.

Just as anticipated, mere seconds later, the bandit leader's tongue actually grew back, enabling him to speak fluently once more.

Seeing that I was largely unharmed, Meihua took her leave of me, mentioning that tomorrow was the second day of the lunar new year, and she was taking Dongdong back to visit her parents for a few days! Meihua’s hometown was in Tianjin, not too far from our location. I asked her when she would return, wondering if I might accompany her to pay my respects to my future parents-in-law as well.

"Shenghan will defer entirely to Brother Xie's judgment! It would be best if Brother Xie could take this opportunity to deflate Zhong Fengling's arrogance!" Shenghan said with a bright smile, her gaze shimmering as she looked at Shuixie, revealing a deep undertone of excitement.

In an instant, the hundred-odd heterodox cultivators were trapped by the mountain-guarding array, plunging deep into layers of illusions.

To save Akimichi Choji, Kakashi forcefully utilized the Mangekyo Sharingan power [Kamui] to absorb the missile, resulting in the complete depletion of his stamina and forcing him to bite the dust.
