Chapter 48: Barking Dogs Don't Bite

"Sister, hurry up, or Mother will start yelling in a minute."

After the two sisters left, a tall, thin man with ordinary features, half-concealed beside the rockery, was about to step out when a red-clad figure moved with lightning speed and snatched the cloud-patterned sachet.

"It truly takes no effort to find what you are looking for after a long search."

Sheng Hongfei never expected that after all its twists and turns, the sachet would ultimately end up in her hands.

[System, with this, I can consider the mission accomplished.]

Not only that, but the physicians at the time had an extremely limited understanding of this ailment, to the extent that even prevention was impossible.

As for Cheng Naixue, Cheng Shuiyue, and the others, they naturally placed their bets one after another, each producing a super-grade imperial pill to wager on Cheng Wushuang's victory.

The collision of the blood eagle and the true dragon produced a crisp sound reminiscent of clashing iron, while the flashes of blade light and sword shadows flickered endlessly.

Ye Kuang fell into deep thought. He had no way to resolve Yi Bingbing's situation and could only wait for a chance to return and see if the revered elder had any solution.

"Cursed moral standards!" Li Zhu felt as though he were being held hostage by the moral codes etched in his heart for decades.

Suddenly, sand and stones flew across the sky, turning it a dusty yellow. Objects a meter away were entirely invisible, and even speaking a single word would result in a mouthful of grit. Yet these people were not wicked, so the power bestowed by the Emperor of the Five Virtues could not be used against them.

Zhao Hu'er and Ai Lingrou observed from within, noticing that Zhu Ming simply sat there and remained motionless, which filled them with a lingering sense of doubt.

Yan Kai and Wu Leming were currently under police custody. When Gu Yuan saw them again, their complexions were deeply haggard, with law enforcement personnel keeping watch nearby.

"My Lord! What are your commands? As your most devout servant, I will certainly do my utmost to fulfill them!" Kamuzha prostrated himself and said devoutly.

"Those were the previous conditions. Since you played games with me, shouldn't you pay a price?" Beidou showed no intention of releasing anyone.

"Alright! Let's go! The selections here are about to begin, and the schedule is being finalized. You can return in three days," Jing Rui said with a beaming smile.

Taohua responded joyfully, "Wonderful, wonderful! Young Master, you said these are all for me, right?" She was even more obsessed with wealth than A'Jiu.

Seeing this, Director Zhao smiled and led the ward physician out of the door, effortlessly pulling Lin Lan along with him as she stood to the side.

"Please don't be so polite. I am not an outsider." Hearing Qi Yanting's words, He Yiqian's cheeks flushed even brighter, and her fingers twisted together until they turned white.

Hearing this, Bai Chenxi turned to look, and sure enough, she saw Xia Lu standing at the entrance with the two male artists under her management.

This trick was truly vicious. Ye Junyao's face flushed red; she had not expected that the plan she considered utterly shameless would crumble into nothingness before this even more shameless man. Glaring angrily at the man before her, she suddenly felt that she was rather foolish—trying to spar in a battle of wits with such a thick-skinned male meant she would never have the upper hand, no matter how hard she tried.

"However, why do I feel a sense of unease? He won't be in any trouble, will he?" Seeing him walk away, Mo Feiluan felt a sudden hollowness in the depths of her heart, as if she had lost her sense of security, leaving her flustered and unsettled.

If she chose to overlook the accident in the kitchen, she felt that today was the most fulfilling day she had experienced in years, as well as the one with the best meals.

Following a brief silence came an explosive, surging wave of traffic. The account, which had previously only managed to attract a fraction of male military enthusiasts, experienced a skyrocketing surge in clicks after a few shares. Not only did the number of followers skyrocket from tens of millions straight to one hundred million, but the volume of comments also vastly exceeded the standard ratio of followers to comments.

"Really? That's perfect, I happen to be Chuchen's manager. Yueyue, why don't I manage you once you make your debut?" Zheng Zong looked at Yan Yue, and it was easy to see that this girl was genuinely striking.

The abruptly dampened moods of the two owners of the wattle-fence courtyard instantly turned the atmosphere eerie. Wukong, who had initially been brimming with enthusiasm, suddenly felt exceptionally awkward, while the various brothers also felt a sense of embarrassment and unease.
