Chapter 109

After all, this would be equivalent to gaining a countless number of quasi-high-level cultivators, or even quasi-demigod powerhouses, out of thin air. Although cultivating such individuals cannot be achieved in a short time, in the long run, it is an absolutely profitable investment—and a highly lucrative one at that.

His tone was mocking and cold, as if he held a deep grudge against this Young Master Heng. The Left Prime Minister sensed this keenly, but was utterly bewildered—how exactly had this amiable Young Master Heng offended the Emperor?

He was just about to continue, ready to boast once more about his uncanny divination skills, when Emperor Zhaoyuan shot him a glance and turned to leave.

Now, having absorbed the power of the Yanhuang energy veins, his strength had improved by leaps and bounds. Coupled with his Zeus-like supernatural abilities and unique constitution, he no longer feared Xue Yifeng in a direct confrontation.

Fortunately, heaven had granted him another chance. He swore to himself that he would never again let her face any danger or pain alone; no matter what happened, he would be by her side, never to leave or forsake her.

An Linxiu was even more panicked. He Jingxuan had only sought her out earlier that day, and by evening, someone had sent her the photos, forcing her to wonder if He Jingxuan had a hand in it.

However, upon hearing this, Chu Yiyi did not get angry; she simply stood in the center, lifeless and silent.

"Ke'er, you have suffered all these years." Han Shangyi did not know the pain in Qin Ke'er's heart, but feeling her body tremble uncontrollably in his arms, he subconsciously tightened his embrace.

In other words, it was often because of such people that some items at the auction sold for staggering prices. Of course, it was an indisputable fact that items sold at auction were already significantly more expensive than those on the open market.

Yu Zhen looked into Cen Yutong’s eyes, seemingly trying to discern whether what she said was true or false. However, she was speaking the truth, so she met his gaze fearlessly.

Having already used a ruse to eliminate the main forces of the rebels, Emperor Qianlong had not intended to spend any more energy on the matter. However, a portrait presented by Chen Pi caught his attention.

"Why?" Murong Xuan asked, gasping as he pressed in close, his arms braced on either side of her head.

Gu Qingmiao released ten corpse-gu insects to surround her; any ghost that dared to attack her was mercilessly devoured.

Xiao Yan was startled by Qianlong’s sudden movement and let out a cry of surprise, but before she could say a word, her lips were captured by his.

"Making one's own coffin is considered inauspicious. Unless absolutely necessary, who would want to learn that trade? Usually, it's passed down through generations. There is only one coffin shop in Qinghe County," said Li Zhongyuan.

Qin Xuan could already foresee the coming bloodbath, and she knew there was no way she could just brush it off as having nothing to do with her.

"Master!" Jiu Youbai helped the old Taoist priest up. The priest waved his hand, a look of inevitable victory playing at the corner of his mouth.

Qin Rui’s features bore a resemblance to Qin Xuan’s, though they still carried a hint of childishness as she had not yet fully matured. She was not a beauty now, but she would be one when she grew up.

Lei Ce glanced at the person poking her head out of the kitchen, grabbed his military overcoat from beside the door, and draped it over her shoulders as he led her out of the courtyard.

Whatever he chose, it would ultimately benefit Mu Liyan. Once the shares in Chi Qinghe’s hands fell into Mu Liyan’s possession, the Nian family would have no chance of winning. Clearing Li Qingwan’s name meant that Chi Qinghe would have to go to prison, but the result would be the same—it was to Mu Liyan’s advantage.

"No, unless it's paired with other flowers, a bouquet of only chrysanthemums is not good!" Mei'er said firmly.

Mei'er had been filled with sorrow, but upon hearing this, her face blossomed into a smile. "I know. Sister-in-law is very cooperative now, isn't she?" As she said this, she gave Ming Lang a wink.

It seemed that everything was a coincidence, yet there also seemed to be some inevitable connection. But all of this felt too bizarre, making it difficult to believe and even harder to understand.

"Since you won't come out, then go to hell!" After a while, seeing no movement in the room, Liu Feng, who was already furious, felt as if someone had poured a bucket of oil onto his anger.

Ge Yuntai opened the door. Outside stood a man of about twenty, slightly plump with a cordial expression.

Moreover, she was accompanied by a very handsome man—the one who seemed not to like her very much.

It wasn't that domestic companies didn't want to produce it, but due to technical barriers, they simply couldn't.

"He just called me to say he was at a colleague’s house. Mom, you don't need to worry," Chen Han replied patiently.

Yu Fengxian’s voice, full of concern, came unexpectedly from the window, startling both people on the bed. Before Zhaolu and Chenyao could react, the bed curtains were ripped open, revealing Yu Fengxian’s livid, enraged face.

He reached out to turn on all the lights, and without a second thought, he rushed to the computer to copy all the data from the flash drive onto the hard drive.

During the few minutes Chen Guanglin spent lost in thought, the stage lights flickered, and the shadows on the white cloth transformed from a general who had spent his life in battle into a simple, unadorned old farmer.

But in the end, it was just idle talk; there was no reason to actually build a villa on someone else’s farm to live in permanently.

With two agonized cries, one man’s heart exploded and the other was severed at the waist. Long Yun remained unscathed as the two followed in their companion's footsteps.

"You know what Chu Chu means. Please think of us—if the one on the mountaintop last night was the real Zhuge Yunhai, you know the result clearly. If you go, you are just throwing your life away. And if you die, do you think we would continue to live on in this world alone?" Ke Qi asked.
