Chapter 31: Tell It to My Gun

Not long after the terrifying whale departed, Jiang Ran suddenly opened her eyes amidst the swirling snowflakes. Gasping for air, she leveraged the fleeting boost of her near-death recovery to scramble quickly into the cellar.

In the deepest corner of the cellar, she unearthed a golden treasure chest she had deliberately buried just beneath the surface.

Because her starting inventory slots were limited to five—far from enough for her needs—Jiang Ran had no choice but to store the items and supplies she excavated in this manner.

The cellar had been too dark before, and the whale that had descended did not...

"Does it hurt?" He Dongfeng asked, his heart aching. His brows were furrowed tightly. Having not rested properly for many days, in Yuanbao's eyes, he no longer looked like the man she usually adored, but rather like an abandoned vagrant.

Their two families had intermarried frequently since ancient times, which fostered closer ties and made their interactions relatively easier.

Seven minutes later, having no idea how far I had run, I was radiating heat, and my breathing had begun to grow rapid. The limit of my internal energy usage was only eight minutes.

Hearing this, Wuchen was secretly overwhelmed. This assassin was truly bizarre; he had actually taken the initiative to introduce himself, betraying Leonhardt without a shred of hesitation.

Because Qin Long appeared so ordinary, the two men did not even glance at him, assuming he was merely the son of some employee. They had no idea that Qin Long had already overheard their whispered conversation in the restroom from dozens of meters away.

"Qiu Qianjian, did you do something to upset Liu'er?" Lu Xiaoge saw at a glance that Yang Liu'er was angry.

He was in a foul mood, so Yuanbao did not provoke him. She obediently shut her mouth and, with a keen sense of self-awareness, took the bedding from the wardrobe, spread it out beside the bed, and lay down quietly.

Bai Yurao looked at Meiying with a cold sneer and said, "This princess has important matters to attend to; you all can continue playing here!" With that, she bit her middle finger until it bled and tapped it against the scroll. She then vanished into the painting, which depicted a valley shrouded in mist, where she appeared like an immortal from a legend.

However, just as Xu Qingmo approached the base of the boulder and prepared to climb up, he suddenly discovered that someone else had already ascended from the other side.

Since Zhan Bing was on a covert mission this time, he continued to use the name "Wei Guoqing" externally. Although Lai Hongqi knew this was certainly not Zhan Bing's real name, without knowing his true identity, he had no choice but to address him as such.

He was a kind-hearted man who disliked witnessing slaughter. He was surely worried about the infighting among the princes in the palace; otherwise, he would not have been so concerned today about the palace affairs mentioned at the neighboring table. She worriedly wondered if Qi Xinyang would stand idly by while the princes fought, and whether he would return to the palace.

Nangong's expression changed drastically. He was also a beneficiary of the pills refined by Hong Yu, having broken through to the Profound Meaning Realm with the help of the Salvation Pill. In his panic, he hurriedly pulled the battle shield from his back, gripping its handle with both hands to block his front.

However, being able to encounter someone like her in this palace made him feel much better. Seeing her simple and innocent demeanor, he felt his own soul become cleansed, free from the need to face the duplicitous faces of the palace, restoring a sanctuary of peace within his own heart.

Tang Feng cared little about whether someone was a celebrity or not; he only hoped his tablet of office would fetch a good price. At this moment, the auction officially began, and the participants took their seats one after another. After the emcee finished his flowery introduction, the first lot was unveiled.

She opened her eyes with extreme slowness. Seeing the person in the mirror clearly, her body trembled involuntarily, and tears streamed down her face.

The next day, Liu Yue and the others went to Shou Mountain, and the bloodstone Tang Feng had shipped from Changhua Town arrived in Lin'an. After completing the shipping formalities, the two hurried toward Qingtian.

Gu Yong said, "Liu Ruyan, you know in your heart that the top powerhouses of the four great empires are about to descend upon the Ancient City of Creation. Although they claim to be seeking revenge for the imperial experts Chu Xuan slaughtered,..."
