Volume 1 Chapter 26: A Warning to the Lu Family

Cai Junqi took the manifest, carefully reviewed the totals, inspected the actual inventory, and verified the quality of the workmanship. It passed.

After Fan Wusheng left, Village Chief Sun persuaded the onlookers to return home. Seeing Fan Wusheng and his companion depart, the Gu family went straight inside to eat.

Meanwhile, Meili, who was cleaning the kitchen, was distracted by a notification sound from her phone. She rinsed her soapy hands, dried them on a towel, and then pulled the phone from her pocket.

Xiao Pingle was not worried about Su Nian’s safety; rather, he feared that the Empress would involve her in affairs she had no business being a part of.

From the very first second she opened her eyes upon returning to this world, Liusha had been preparing for all of this.

"No rush. Let’s wait for Brother Li. We won't admit to anything until he arrives, and besides, it wasn't our fault to begin with," Su Nian said.

However, after today’s events, all of Ma Ba’s future investment plans in Jiangcheng had changed.

Reflected in the eyes of the supported Iguchi—which were dilated with shock and fear—was the handsome face of Ryosuke Aoki.

The old adjutant watched the three of them leave through the window, then immediately opened the car door and began to follow them at a slow pace.

Seeing Ye Dong, Hu Jian looked at the two of them in turn and nodded, as if completing some narrative in his own mind.

What had she done wrong? Why did so many people come to hurt her? Was she an outcast of heaven, meant for everyone to bully?

Though some unscrupulous players prepared to snatch ownership of the boss before the giant python’s self-destruction, the explosion instantly killed them on the spot.

Beyond the swamp lay a desert. In this desert, aside from the endless fine sand, there were also extremely dangerous patches of quicksand; if one stepped into them, there was virtually no chance of survival.

The time it took to kill the opponent was not even half as long as the time it spent agonizing over whether or not to do so.

Perhaps because the fear in Xuan Yi’s eyes mirrored his own, Huo Lanyuan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. With a look of resentment at Xuan Yi, he rushed out of Hongxiu’s room and ran thumping down the stairs.

Xia Fan kicked a stool, blocking Gou Jianshang’s path as he tried to leave.

With her exquisite features, elegant posture, wearing a red wool coat and subtle lip gloss, she was absolutely captivating to behold.

As in the past, Mu Chen would take advantage of his free Sundays to take Su Xin out to relax and go shopping. Knowing she couldn't ride a horse, he would set aside time to teach her the techniques himself, practice with her, or they would go out together with their sketchpads to paint from nature. It was nothing short of sweet.

A-Lang was stunned when he received the money. He hadn't expected Ling Xuan, who appeared cold and aloof, to be so thoughtful. In truth, Ling Xuan knew A-Lang was a simple soul—not a bad person—and while he didn't dislike him, he found him annoying.

"Chu Ze! Chu Ze!" The voice echoed continuously, as if striking against the hills, the sound reverberating without end.

Lang Cang’s words were laced with mockery, but in his heart, he secretly admired Dong Chengzhou; what seemed like a cowardly act was, in reality, the most prudent choice.

That night, Xiahou Muqing was preparing to go to sleep when a gust of wind blew her bedroom window open.

When she saw Chu Yuan taking her into the hotel, she burst into tears, fearing that he intended to force himself upon her.

As soon as the words fell, an immortal general of the Taiyi Golden Immortal rank ascended to the High Heaven Hall and immediately apprehended Sun Wukong.

Zhou Hang’s perimeter offense was phenomenal; as long as he was given a screen, he had a vast array of offensive choices.

To Chu Yuan, let alone in a world after a zombie outbreak, he would have no reason to be afraid even if the outbreak hadn't occurred.

Now that he possessed the strength of the Fourth Heaven of the Realm Master rank, and by executing the Heaven’s Selection Technique, his combat power reached the Fifth Heaven.

"Jian Yu!" Zhang Fang’s expression was pleasantly surprised. He had been rejected when he tried to visit her in the hospital last time, and just as he was worrying about when he would see her again, he found her.

With multiple wounds on his body, blood constantly spilling from his mouth, and his aura extremely withered, it was clear he had been heavily injured.

"You two must be the sect masters of the Blood Demon sects, right? State your names!" Ling Hao looked at Xue Li and Mo Ku and spoke calmly.

The villagers’ focus remained on the patients who had just been cured; they did not notice what was happening at the church entrance.

But at this moment, she had to suppress it all, keeping her expression as normal as possible.

Several of the "spirit herbs" had delicate properties and were not meant to be boiled for long; the potion was ready before much time had passed.

The first year he served under Xue Hairun, he had nearly been dragged out and beheaded by Yang Jue’s orders. If Xue Hairun hadn't personally snatched the blade away, he wouldn't be here today.

Since he was already a suspect in Chen Yutian’s mind, the revelation of his identity, combined with his familiar voice, allowed for a final confirmation.

If she hadn't refused to hand over the power of household management to her, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

Huo Yuanji instinctively looked again at the person demanding compensation. He saw the man clutching an arm that hung limply at his side; it certainly didn't look like he was fine.
