Chapter 139: Dying as a Pair

Her heart tightened. The first factory Wen Zhongnian opened in his youth manufactured electronic products.

Later, as his business grew larger and larger, he no longer needed to handle many matters personally. But how could he have forgotten the professional knowledge he had acquired back then?

Xu Yu’s words enraged him.

Wen Han had told him in prison that Wen Yuxin was not doing well abroad, and Shen Liangyan had no intention of showing mercy either.

Wen Zhongnian had come this time prepared to stake everything on one desperate gamble...

“How dare you speak to the clan chief like that? You must have a death wish!” A relatively young elder flew into a rage and struck at Han Lang without hesitation.

The sensation of that slender, smooth neck tightening in his hand seemed to turn into a mass of fire, sweeping over his entire body.

Though Ya Yi was reluctant, she now understood that whatever Cong Yi was about to say was not something she should hear.

“You are my good sister too!” Zhao Qin said with a smile, but deep within her eyes was an overwhelming sense of guilt.

At Cheng Jiahua’s sudden move, not only was Lu Qian stunned; everyone else also stood there for a long while, unable to recover.

“Captain, your pet is one of those gray wolf monsters from the Beginner’s Village, isn’t it?” the assassin Eraser asked.

At five in the afternoon, I called my cousin and asked whether she was coming home for dinner. She said she was not; it was the last class reunion, and she was going to eat with Shirley and the others. I said all right, then Wu Wu and I would take care of dinner ourselves.

“Tell me what happened at the time.” Luo Tian smiled faintly as he spoke, though a trace of solemnity appeared in his eyes.

“Wait a moment. I’ll search online for the formula. How many seconds did it take us to fall just now?” I asked.

Han Lang was furious beyond measure. He had originally come only to rescue Lin Feng and settle an old debt. But he had never expected that he himself would be the reason Lin Feng had drawn the Li family’s attention. How could Han Lang possibly endure that?

The Lord of Xinling’s “reputation for virtue” had traveled far and wide. The fame he had built for himself was considerable, and the Wei soldiers in particular placed great faith in it. The guards hesitated.

Aphthona: “Whether it succeeds or fails, we will probably have an answer tonight. Bai Shaoliu, why did you decide to act tonight? We have only just finished dealing with yesterday’s battle.”

Seeing Qi Sunniang sitting dazed day after day, Cui Hao assumed that she missed her parents and had been frightened after seeing the dead in the white poplar grove. He often tried to amuse her by talking to her and took considerable care of her in daily life. After several days, Qi Sunniang finally spent less time lost in thought.

Chen Le felt as though he had been struck by a heavy blow. His entire body turned cold, and he stood there dumbfounded. He did not even know how Gong Wei had pushed him into the carriage; in a daze, he was taken toward the royal palace.

As the days passed, the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month arrived. Sending off the Kitchen God was a major occasion, and preparations for the New Year also had to be made. Qi Sunniang therefore planned to go into Gaoyou City to purchase New Year goods, along with the paper sedan, paper horses, wine lees, and kitchen candies used in the ceremony. Unexpectedly, when Qi Qiang heard about it, he invited her to accompany him into the city.

The physician was still shaken, staring at Liu Ji in terror, yet he did not dare bend down to pick anything up. Liu Ji threw back his head and laughed loudly, then hurried down from the city wall with Cao Shen and the others. Only after Liu Ji disappeared from sight did the physician breathe a sigh of relief and hastily crawl among the piles of corpses to search for the money.

The spiritual power resting within Mo Qingchen’s dantian began moving through his body according to his will. At the same time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began entering Mo Qingchen’s body, mingling with his original spiritual power as it slowly circulated.

The Pope’s handling of Yara was exceptionally measured. First, he preserved Yara’s honor and title, but exiled him to the Manya Jungle to supervise the training of the dragon riders—a dangerous and arduous assignment. It saved Yara’s dignity while also teaching him a lesson, leaving the others with no grounds for objection. Yara accepted the decision gratefully.

Everyone from the Mo family waited in the main hall for the groom’s wedding party to arrive. Each wore brand-new clothes, their faces bright with smiles.

Aphthona left Mount Gombidis. Her body trembled faintly as she traveled, while her face retained its habitual determination. Her steps remained steady, preserving the dignity expected of a temple knight. Yet her lips quivered slightly, and her bewildered gaze remained fixed on the road ahead, as though she had no idea what she was thinking.
