Volume 1, Chapter 36: The Little Turkey Seller?

The horizon showed a faint hint of dawn, and the biting wind whistled through the air. Xia Yang wandered aimlessly down the street, while inside his coat, nestled against his chest, Yadina slept soundly.

The order was to conduct an undercover investigation, secretly tracking down the lost national treasure without disrupting the daily lives or operations of the city and its residents.

"Understood... team leader," Guo Qiyun stammered as he swallowed hard. Yu Manli glanced at Ming Fan and nodded as well, though she couldn't fathom why he had reacted that way—what could possibly be wrong?

Before he could finish his sentence, Shi Xiaofeng suddenly hoisted him up, crossed his arms, and held him upside down, shaking him as if he were a bag of laundry. Immediately, various items tumbled out, among them the elderly man’s wallet and passport.

With an expressionless face and a detached tone, Kagura approached from the distance, her demeanor remaining entirely unchanged from start to finish.

"Sister!" Su Jun mustered all her strength to utter the word, then blushed, unable to meet Adair’s eyes any longer.

Even though he knew the man was a serpent in human form, the dim-witted Mu Mangzi still escorted Salt Dragon all the way to the gates of the Tiger Peace Palace.

That evening, Shen Tong held a video call with Xue Jiancheng, disclosing everything he had learned about the Tsunami Project.

For a week, Shi Xiaofeng arrived at work listless and preoccupied. Old Shao instructed all employees not to discuss his private affairs to avoid causing him further embarrassment.

Shi Xiaofeng bowed in respect, but when he looked up, the stone path was empty; not a soul was to be seen.

"Brother Kuanglei, the more you say, the more confused I become. If this is something only those who have reached the realm of the Immortal Tribulation can know, how is it that you are aware of it?" Zhou De asked, puzzled.

Bai Qihong didn't understand the technical details, but to his untrained eye, the jewelry set was exquisitely and delicately crafted, its vibrant red hue looking quite festive.

It is said that even the most passionate love eventually fades, yet the Emperor felt that no matter how many times it faded, he could fall in love with her all over again.

Park Dajung’s hunch was correct. He strained to peer diagonally upward; the sky was perfectly clear, free of any clouds or mist, and with it being high noon, his field of vision was exceptionally broad.

Both men thought simultaneously that even if they pooled all the elite specialists from the Fine Arts and Music academies, they likely wouldn't be able to surpass what Su Huai had achieved.

"Brother-in-law will just handle it," Hua Yao said lightheartedly. In truth, she knew a few everyday Russian phrases, but she would be at a loss if anything too technical came up.

She was born with a pair of smiling eyes; even when she wasn't smiling, she appeared to be, making her seem immediately approachable.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xu couldn't help but feel surprised. It seemed Guo Zheng was well-informed, having already done his research before arriving. However, if this Guo Zheng was truly Guo Jing’s younger brother, then based on what Guo Jing and Huang Rong had said previously, he should be the same age and still in his third year of middle school.

To everyone’s surprise, after Assistant Li entered the leader’s office and returned, he remarked that anyone with a brain would no longer dare to order Hua Gongshe around like a long-term laborer.

The steps of the Great Hall were actually about a third longer than standard stairs. Walking on them made one feel as though they were taking "two mincing steps or one giant, awkward stride." It was quite easy to trip if one didn't look where they were going.

If only he could refine a simple and brutal soul attack to catch his enemies off guard—that would be perfect.

Around ten o'clock that night, Qin Lang figured Yang Xi must be asleep, so he quietly unzipped his tent and slipped into Ouyang Chunhua's tent under the cover of darkness.

Star Lord Tianxuan’s eyes lit up with joy. He flicked a finger, sending a spark of spiritual light into the massive Suanni manifestation. The terrifying beast immediately opened its eyes, though there was not a shred of consciousness within them, only raw, bestial instinct.
