Chapter 29

Chen Li, however, was now caught in a dilemma. If she were to bow her head and concede to Qin Fan, meekly offering compensation for the jade bracelet, she would lose every shred of her dignity.

The proprietress smiled and said, "I'll go bring those to you now; I won't hold you up any longer." With that, she returned to the restaurant and emerged with three more bowls. It was evident that she was well-acquainted with the three burly men.

Wang Biao patted Gu Xiao on the back. It was the first time he had seen this old friend, whom he had known for so long, look so genuinely happy.

Although Tian Dou intended to leave, the day had already faded into darkness, so he decided to postpone his departure until the next morning.

In this campaign to succeed Chang Yuchun in attacking the Miri region in the north of the Kipchak Khanate, Lan Yu’s performance was particularly dazzling. Wherever his army passed, it was as if an autumn wind were sweeping away fallen leaves; they conquered every objective and remained undefeated in every battle. The merits he achieved were in no way inferior to those of Xu Da.

However, this force was so widely dispersed that it was impossible to wipe them out entirely, so they were left to their own devices.

What they did not know, however, was that for Ximen Kuang, such a wall of soul power was merely a hollow formality.

Li Yongle’s eyesight was excellent. As he stared at the sensationalist headline, it gave him a new perspective on the Hong Kong news industry.

Liang Fei asked with confusion, only to see Sister Hua unable to contain her emotions any longer as tears streamed down her face.

The elite monster naturally could not withstand the onslaught of the five players; in just ten seconds, it lay dead in the wilderness.

Thinking that Lin Zhixiao’s words were not without foundation and were describing a highly probable outcome, she decided to have Lin Zhixiao do his utmost to help her ascend to the position of the new Madam Guo after the current one passed away.

As the two spoke, they vanished from where they stood. The alley returned to silence, with only the dim, yellowish streetlights casting their glow upon the ground.

The players pushed and shoved, clamoring incessantly, while the Medicine King sat stiffly, exchanging goods for coin. Once the one hundred and fifty drops of blood were sold out, he said, "Everyone, please return; it is all sold out." He then respectfully handed the money to Wentian Di, who nodded and returned a portion to the Medicine King as a reward.

"Naturally. You two should also keep working hard. Your skills and equipment are both quite good. When I have time, I’ll speak with Brother Sun and have you appointed as branch leaders." Tang Seng was in high spirits; what the two had said perfectly aligned with his own intentions. What was 'Medicine Across the World' anyway? If not for their family wealth, they wouldn't even be the top doctors in the Guangming settlement.

"I don't believe it." Yi Shao held his blade, Tianheng, horizontally in his left hand, and with his right hand, he wiped across the steel. A surging power erupted from the blade, flowing into Yi Shao until his body was gradually covered in a layer of blue energy.

Shen Mengmeng frowned inwardly. She had visited both the Zhongtian Group and the Wu Group many times, but since she had always used the private elevators, no one would ever crowd in with her. Having to squeeze into an elevator like this was a truly grueling ordeal for her.

Under the captain's instruction, all the Taino drifting in space returned to their fighters. The captain began activating the system awakening mechanism in a command cabin. Following the awakening, the three million Taino inside the War Bugs began to stir, one by one, waiting for orders.

"Dad, what are you all talking about?" Shen Mengmeng emerged at that moment, affectionately wrapping her arms around her father's neck from behind.

Clutching the 'Heaven-Opening Axe' tightly in his hand, he knew that with Xia Liu currently suppressing the malevolent energy transformed from 'Desire to Sever Souls' with his primordial spirit, he could not possibly unleash his full strength and would be no match for Xie Pengfei.

"Greetings, senior brothers. My name is Gu Qingyun, I am ten years old, and I am from Linxi Village." Being the least experienced, Gu Qingyun introduced himself first, a shy smile appearing on his face after he finished.

The moment he spoke a single word, there was a 'click,' and he was instantly silenced. His mouth hung open, moving soundlessly just as Dan Meng's had. He tried to speak, but not a sound emerged; his eyes were wide open, filled with terror.

It was somewhat slippery and soft, as if she were touching tender tofu. Ban Hua's gaze swept over the neatly dressed inner robe Rong Xia wore. She felt a sudden urge to emulate the tyrants in the novels, press Rong Xia down onto
