Chapter 74: Zhou Jingyi Scolds Wen Ni

Min Hyun-sook temporarily gave up on seeking out Wen Ni for an explanation.

She walked back and looked at her son. “What is it?” she asked.

Zhou Mingfan pressed his lips together. “Let’s talk in the room. Walls have ears.”

Seeing Zhou Mingfan’s expression, a vague sense of foreboding crept into Min Hyun-sook’s heart.

Mother and son entered Min Hyun-sook’s bedroom.

Meanwhile, outside the main hall, Yao Yao clung to Chen Jing’s arm, exclaiming in surprise and excitement. She paid no mind to the exaggerated movements that set her ample bosom trembling conspicuously, drawing the hungry gazes of many nearby male students.

But as it turned out, she didn’t care in the slightest. On the contrary, she was enthusiastic about the design. In fact, time would prove her right—the golden smartphone brought Banana Electronics soaring to popularity. Yet it also left the impression that this brand was favored by nouveau riche upstarts, a contradiction that both vexed and delighted Ma Zixuan.

The entire staff division that Li Tao brought seemed off, particularly in matters of intelligence. Though he found it somewhat impolite, Lü Zhenyu nonetheless phoned General Bai Qiang to confirm whether Li Tao and his people were truly a delegation of military representatives.

Later on, Tai Yi no longer charged ahead recklessly as he had before. Instead, he carefully observed the ferocious winds encircling him, keenly searching for gaps among the surging blades of wind that swept in wave after wave. He caught the rhythms hidden within the dense onslaught.

Tai Yi let out a long yawn, roused himself, and rapped a few times on the ancient tree, finally managing to awaken the venerable old tree.

The Zhang family had managed to secure their place in Beihe through smuggling. People like them, it was a wonder they hadn’t already been arrested, let alone climbed to such heights of power.

Eyes intoxicated, Tang Li gazed down for a long while. He slowly bent forward, his warm lips brushing her brow, then moving down over her eyebrows, her cheeks, finally falling upon the twin petals of her blossoming lotus.

Tai Yi eyed Rhine Burnt’s black crystal point. At this moment, Rhine Burnt seemed to sense Tai Yi’s awakening as well; he remained still, quietly awaiting Tai Yi’s “operation.”

I raised my arm and shouted, “Seal!” Twin beams of golden light shot from my hands, forcibly closing the crack.

Over the past decades, the loyalty Sony had cultivated in its users had not collapsed. This brand loyalty was the greatest obstacle to utterly defeating Sony.

This past month had been even more bizarre than the last. Two mining districts—Number Three and Number Four—were directly invaded by fourth-tier spirit beasts.

The boy was Gretel—Yang Yi could see that clearly. His mind was now extraordinarily lucid, and he knew it was Hansel who was conveying the story to him. But was Hansel’s psychic power truly that formidable?

“Heh heh, so it was you behind the scenes, Shushan’s Yang Xuan.” A deep, shadowy voice rang out as Elder Kumu appeared out of thin air before the three of them. Two equally sinister figures materialized behind him, coldly watching the trio.

He looked back toward the south. The distance remained shrouded in gray haze, white smoke and yellow clouds billowing and swirling, obscuring all sight. But he knew the Yangtze River lay not far off. The brats on the river must have witnessed his glorious victory today, must have heard the roar of him, the fierce tiger of Sizhou.

She could not accept this fate. She had set out to conquer, yet before even reaching land, she faced annihilation at sea. Even her child, her dragon, had been wounded, its life or death yet unknown.

“Yes, she’s back. That’s why I can’t be with you any longer. I’m sorry, Lily. I can’t help you anymore. You may need to find another partner.” Zhuang Haoyu spoke with utmost seriousness, his face sincere in apology.
