Volume 1, Chapter 60: Head of the Household

"Mom! We happened to run into Nanzhi during checkout just now. Since it's on our way home anyway, let's give her a ride to her workplace!"

From afar, Wei Guohong could already read Song Ying's attitude. Her mother was not someone to be trifled with, and her tongue always uttered hurtful words.

This time, she didn't even have the time to spit blood. That force manifested once more; pulling at her limbs, it bound her tightly to the ceiling yet again.

"Right, King Shang, what was this thing called again? Trash something?" Cao Bao asked Xu Feng, still unsatisfied.

Lady Meng's face instantly turned ashen. She thought to herself, shouldn't the master be flying into a rage and stripping Wen Jinyan of her management rights?

During the period of recuperation, the more Long Fei thought about it, the angrier he became! By chance, he heard that White Cloud Temple was a property of Mount Emei, populated only by a few mortal disciples.

In City G on a winter afternoon, the strong wind was still howling, and the pitch-black storm clouds seemed permanently anchored in the sky, showing not the slightest intention of dispersing.

Golden radiance converged in mid-air, drifting away from the ground and spreading out to meet the starlight overhead.

Shi Lingyan knew her personality all too well, yet even she would say such a thing now. It seemed this Dongfang Xuanya possessed quite a formidable background.

As one of the six great sacred lands of the Xia Nation, the Immortal Martial Sacred Sect possessed a profound heritage, with powerful figures emerging from its ranks generation after generation.

This layer did not seem to have much flavor, featuring only a simple smoothness and resilience. When bitten into, it had a nice bounce to it, yet it did not stick to the teeth.

The other two servants expressed profound sympathy; if it were them making eye contact with the deceased at such close range, they would have been scared out of their wits on the spot. Most importantly, there was a legend circulating here in Yangzhou, and this legend pertained to people who died by hanging.

If he hadn't looked, it wouldn't have mattered, but upon taking a closer look, he increasingly felt that the fat man in front of him looked precisely like that pig-headed boss.

"Fight it bare-handed without any tools, and actually win against it? What kind of joke is this?" Once Dulei realized this, he suffered a mental breakdown. He finally understood why Nuonuo had looked at him with that expression; it turned out the rank evaluation wasn't as easy as he had imagined.

The lofty Ninth Master was already married! When did this happen? Why hadn't the media reported it?

That being said, based on what Sun Luoya understood, the attitude of Horned Eagle Mountain toward the outside world was a neutral one: "If people do not offend me, I will not offend them; if people offend me, I will surely kill them." During all his years staying on Horned Eagle Mountain, he believed no one knew everything about it better than he did.

When Qianran saw Xi Mushen, her face turned pale. The scene of him pouring gasoline over her last time was still vivid in her mind, and she felt an instinctive fear.

"Then what was the academy's result in the discussion?" Dulei finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and he had no idea how such a matter should be handled.

"A-Yuan, we became members of the Church of Light when we were twelve years old. I wholeheartedly served the Church of Light for thirteen years, and you are still working for the Church of Light to this day. Can you honestly say you are unaware of the things the church has been doing behind the scenes?" Kuchiki replied in silence.

Dong Mingzhu had always wanted to manufacture cell phones—no, correction, she was already manufacturing cell phones, but her phones were unpopular in the market and were almost nowhere to be seen by now.

The second brother-in-law turned his head to see the old woman lying on the ground, then looked at Zhou Zheng, who merely shrugged and put on an expression that said, "I didn't mean to do that either."

As for the two thousand men of the Xuanwu Navy, Cang Yaozu had already handed them over to Gan Ning to command. Gan Ning's eight hundred personal troops also joined in, bringing his force up to a full three thousand men courtesy of Cang Yaozu. Lu Meng still served as Gan Ning's second-in-command, while Zhuge Liang served as the military strategist for the Xuanwu Navy.
