Chapter 46

"Are you so confident you can solve this? Should I help you..." Zhu Xueyan, standing nearby, could hardly bear to watch any longer.

As the two spoke, a streak of light suddenly shot in from outside. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Ye Mu, who had just left moments ago and now returned. Yuan Hong and his companions looked delighted at the heap of spirit coins they had acquired, but when they saw Ye Mu had no share, the joy slowly faded from their faces. No matter how incredulous Tang Mei and Mu Qingdong felt, the facts were plain to see.

"I still think what we're doing now is futile," Bai Cang, following behind, remarked.

"Tonight, here, if anyone has anything to say, speak freely. There's no need to be restrained," Wang Yinglang said. Tonight was meant for everyone to get acquainted, after all; the atmosphere couldn't be allowed to grow cold.

At the moment of transformation's completion, 'Lin Chong' revealed a bloodthirsty smile on his face.

When he returned to admit his mistakes and apologize to everyone, they would surely curse him and tell him to get lost.

Tang Songtian brought his feet together, leaped in place to stand before Zhang Beinan, then kicked him far away.

Meanwhile, Su Xiangxue, unable to bear seeing her mother humiliated any longer, drew her sword and flew forward, slashing straight at Feng Mo Kuang's face.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, he discovered its layout was identical to the first: bedroom, kitchen, and hall. Though not as spacious as the first floor, it was more than enough for Lu Chen and his beloved pets.

Lele's heart tightened when someone came to invite Yuebao to play again. When Yuebao declined, her heart eased.

Yet all these actions took but a moment; she withdrew her hand and looked at Yan Lixi with complicated eyes.

"No—no, that's impossible! Qianyu—Qianyu isn't like that!" She had just finished bitterly despising herself when two voices sounded from outside the carriage.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen pondered briefly, and a new idea struck him; the prompt before his eyes changed accordingly.

--

He continued forward. The winding path ahead was making Lu Chen feel physically tired.

Later, the braised meat vendor came, and Zhao Laolai drank plenty with Old Zhou. By the time all the tavern's patrons had left, only Zhao Laolai remained.

Village Chief Li signaled the burly man, who promptly dislocated Wang Dazhu and Wang Erzhu's jaws, and the group entered the dense forest together.

Even on the day the special medicine was developed, when everyone was celebrating in triumph, Yan Zhi maintained his cold, detached demeanor.

Under the rabbit's silent gaze, Yan Ningyu blushed and, as if to cover her embarrassment, stomped her foot and spoke loudly.

Despite everything, he was still chased and beaten by those behind him. Wang Yue scrambled and crawled in desperation, yet the pain in his back never ceased.

Inside the candle-lit chapel, just as he had imagined countless times in childhood and years past, Ross closed his eyes and answered earnestly.

He immediately placed one hand on Mu Yingying and the other around the Spirit Storage Pill in his arms, attempting to infuse it with spiritual energy.

The positions of both parties had swapped. The ownerless horse, whinnying in distress, ran to its master and licked their forehead with its tongue.

The three of them, working together, had managed to escape from the hands of Qin Zijian, a half-step saint. Now, Nie Yuan and Demutu, one open and one covert, were collaborating. While their strength might not match the scions of the great families, from what could be seen, they were by no means far behind.

Qi Yun gazed quietly at him. Outside the railing, wind and rain seemed to stretch into eternity. After a long moment, tears silently welled in her eyes. The four people following her shivered in fright, bowed their heads, and dared not look further.

Bandage had been worried that their money might not cover dinner, but upon hearing "All expenses will be paid by Master Mickey," he seized the opportunity and agreed with the steward's suggestion.

All signs here pointed to the fact that the Buddhist seal array had clearly been hastily arranged by the monks.

The air inside the base was pungent, but there was a gas mask container ahead, evidently left behind during the evacuation.

"The so-called daily influence is nothing but the karma I’ve accumulated," Su Ruhui sighed and spoke softly.

--

He truly couldn't fathom what had happened just now to his wife, who had always been more ruthless and decisive than he.

Han Hui, whose face was usually as amiable as the Buddha, now showed no hint of a smile. He looked at Zhan Mei as if she were an insignificant ant.

It was akin to a special mutant potion that could turn humans into mutants; this subtle trend left many uneasy.

But as funds soared, he felt the strain. Not only was buying and selling more difficult, but since this was ultimately a game of the market, he could easily become a target for major capital.

Inside, giant tonguefish swam, each two or three meters long, adult and ferocious, their sharp teeth exposed beyond their lips, their rough skin reminiscent of ancient monsters.

Sang Yu said no more, sitting quietly as steady as a mountain, as if every moment was an enjoyable one, utterly tranquil.

"This broken Demon-Suppressing Sword, how is it supposed to work? Useless." Zhang Shaonan, while fleeing, had fiddled with it repeatedly—knocking, swinging, nearly reciting incantations—yet the Demon-Suppressing Sword remained a bare hilt, completely unresponsive.

His aura surged, overwhelming. Tang Xuerou’s body went weak; she stared wide-eyed as the man slowly removed his mask and asked her a question.

Even though Jiang Zhifei had never worked in real estate, she knew that Yuejing and his team surely had a set routine.

Su Xinyan was surprised at the turn of events. She glanced back at Zhao Gongzi, now a muddy mess on the ground, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Jun Jiuyuan had vanished without a word. She had no idea what had happened; after the Lantern Festival, when he gave her a red envelope and promised to visit, he had not sent a single message since.
