Chapter 50

In rural areas, earthenware jars are used exclusively for making pickles or storing rice, with no other practical purpose. Therefore, Mayor Zhou had been so ruthless to his son earlier, all in the hope that Xiao Tian would let the matter drop.

"I already told you, this has nothing to do with you, so stop meddling blindly." Wang Yao quickly snatched the phone away from Feng Xi, acting with a guilty conscience.

As for his own name, Xiao Tian saw no reason to hide it and stated it directly.

The allied forces numbered only around a thousand, while the divine troops and generals were four to five thousand strong. However, the allied forces held the absolute geographical advantage, placing the divine troops and generals on the defensive.

After all, it was he who had first harbored such despicable thoughts toward Lin Meng'er. Given the influence of the Lin family, even if he ultimately failed to win her over, the mere existence of such a vile intention would be enough to utterly ruin the once-thriving Ning family in Ningcheng, reducing them to ashes.

The reason the White-Clothed Gang was able to expand so rapidly in Wa was not only due to Senior Brother Yuan's tactical prowess, but largely because the Mu and Bai families had secretly made contact with the Yamada family. If Wang Yao were to find out about this, presumably Mu Rufeng—the father of Mu Bai—would lose his other leg as well.

"You are free..." Jiang Qiu severed Zhao Hai's other leg and kicked him straight into the sea.

Xiao Tian knew very well that the four hundred million was a favor from Chairman Zheng, as the market price for expanding the hospital project was at least seven to eight billion.

"Fine. While I can't guarantee anything else, sparing your life is something I can manage." Li Yan readily agreed.

She understood Elder Di's intention. Though ostensibly coming to the Great Xia to ask for reinforcements to restore their country, such troops were never lent for free.

The mother-in-law wept tears like rain and knelt down toward Zhao Qiaoqiao once more. Zhao Qiaoqiao wanted to help her up, but unfortunately, her hands were bound.

After having dinner with Zhou Yuan, the two returned to the company. Song Zhiying had Zhou Yuan take a photo of her practicing boxing, as well as a selfie of the two of them, and posted them on Weibo.

After an intimate exchange, Liu Nanrong held Bai Mengdie close and told her about the plan he and Wuwei had conspired.

Song Zhiying shared this news with Chen Xi, who remained completely indifferent. After all, it wasn't his wedding, and whether Rong Ye returned or not made not the slightest difference to him.

Blue Moon sat at the banquet, watching everyone drinking heartily in celebration of their victory. The sense of loss in his heart grew even heavier, prompting him to keep pouring drinks down his throat.

"Then why wasn't such a distinction made when the ancient methods of cultivation were flourishing? Could it be related to the difference between ancient and modern cultivation practices?" he pursued the question.

Chen Xi said this with the intention of making the bride clear about Song Zhiying's identity. Before committing to a future with Xu Nuo, she must have done some research on him and naturally knew about his past relationship with Song Zhiying.

There were quite a few elders among the inner and outer gates of the Five Elements Heaven, but these individuals were not necessarily nurtured by the sect itself.

However, seeing that Jun Yiyao was not heading out, but instead walking toward the dressing table, everyone found it quite strange.

Upon reaching the door, Ye Zi kept knocking, but no one opened from inside. Just as I was planning to use extraordinary means to force it open, the door unlocked.

This matter held immense benefits for both Yao Shun and me. I figured Yao Shun wouldn't be foolish enough to refuse. If he still refused, he would be not far from destruction, because a hesitant person also signals the vanishing of great ambitions.

Had Young Master Zun's wires crossed? Were everyone's ears playing tricks on them? Perhaps Young Master Zun would be merciful enough to repeat that?

Ming Mu greeted me, but I couldn't discern any warmth in his tone, which instead seemed rather indifferent.

Father and Eldest Brother finally looked satisfied with Yan Can. Just as he recovered his sanity and wanted to say something to Muxie, he was immediately stunned by the countless chests placed before his eyes.

Having settled everything, I released Shen Yuanyuan. Finally, I gave five thousand yuan to each of the two bosses and went to pack some late-night snacks to take back, so Song Qian wouldn't grow suspicious due to the time elapsed.

Xia Xin felt this was not a good sign. Usually, heavy snows and heavy rains did not last long and lacked endurance, but this continuous light snow, gradually increasing in intensity, gave him a very ominous premonition.

I must admit that Zhang Xuanxuan is a master. Judging by the force of her kicks, she could cave in a punching bag directly, and her punches could inflict deep indents as well.

"The Four Divine Beasts Jade Pendant? Could it be the one sold for a sky-high price of 900 million US dollars at the Christie's auction a year ago, bought by a mysterious person?" Ye Jun asked in astonishment.

Bi Yuntao struck out with his sword once more, barely neutralizing the black dragon's attack, while his footsteps stumbled backward seven or eight steps consecutively.

He had thought that, being in the Divine King realm, victory was securely in his grasp, little knowing that Bi Yuntao had intended the exact same thing all along.

The giant python suddenly snapped its serpent eyes open—its gaze vicious and venomous—and lunged to bite Long Kui. Long Kui was utterly paralyzed with terror, and just as Yuan Wuhui below had yet to react, a golden dragon sword Qi fiercely slashed down upon the giant python's head.

Hearing what Elder Mo had said, Madam Ye turned and walked away. No one in the Demon Realm would ever have suspected that Ye Fanluo's mother, Madam Ye, was colluding with the Nether Ghost Clan.

Indeed, the situation of the Six Dynasties was just like this: outwardly allied in resistance, but inwardly harboring their own selfish agendas, with no one willing to exert actual effort. Such an alliance was merely a sheet of loose sand, which Guan Yi did not take seriously at all.

How could politicians, rogue immortals, and citizens from the outside world who were desperately trying to get acquainted with the family of Earl Shiyi ever imagine the awkward and difficult predicament Earl Shiyi was currently in?

Nobu looked at Cheng Que in astonishment. He knew the chieftain was difficult to cure, but he hadn't expected it to be handled in this manner, leaving him speechless for a moment.

"Nanny Chu, the mandarin fish you embroidered looks truly exquisite. Take a look at mine; no matter what, it just ends up looking like a drowned fish." Xichun held up her handkerchief to compare it with Nanny Chu's.

"I already discussed this matter with my eldest uncle beforehand. I can only do my utmost; whether it can actually be accomplished remains an unknown. Now that diagnosis is complete and I am powerless, it is not my fault," Liu Na said in a calm tone, avoiding any direct confrontation while feeling that such contention was entirely unnecessary.

Zhao Youda, the chubby old man and the instigator of the whole affair, watched as several 'comrades' walked out the door without receiving a single word of retention. The last flicker of hope in his heart was finally extinguished.

Seeing her face contorted in pain, Gu Haoxiao hurriedly bent down to remove the table in front of her, gently lowering her to lie down on the bed.

The Elf Court of the Left-Hand Continent was breached by demons, resulting in countless casualties, which paradoxically turned into half a blessing. With fewer elves requiring rescue by players, they could temporarily withstand the wrath of heaven and earth.

Wang Ningbo's words were spot on. "Victory Entertainment" bore the surname Shu; as long as she wished, what resources couldn't she obtain? Yet she happened to be driven out of "Victory," and happened to make a solemn military pledge to the Gu family, as if it were all preordained by fate.
