Chapter 78

These cries finally pulled her back from her thoughts; she hurried to wipe his face, spending the entire night like this until Qi Mo’s fever finally broke, and only then did she feel exhausted, slipping into a drowsy sleep.

This road happened to be the one leading back to town; as they drew closer, even without deliberately looking, they could smell a pungent odor.

Wang Ping and his son still couldn’t believe it when they returned to the county office—that the princess had let them go.

Shuke also knew that although he had never fought a Forbidden God, he had heard many legends about them.

So they stopped there, and the group naturally shifted topics, chatting about recent gossip in the circle and some emerging trends to watch out for.

With the Lady gone and the Young Marshal no longer returning to Wutong Courtyard, the entire Zhao household had grown strangely mysterious, everyone acting peculiar.

Marquis Hengye nodded and took from his pocket a summons made of special paper, bearing the distinctive mark of the Guyu Banquet—designed to prevent forgery and unauthorized entry, since the Guyu Banquet gathered only young elites and would never allow outsiders to intrude.

She could be called a workaholic, but precisely because of her efforts, Quanjing grew rapidly in just a few years—her contribution was indispensable.

“Fine, bring me the item—I want to see what kind of treasure it really is.” Li Xiuning, seeing his confidence, felt a flicker of curiosity.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible—this is ice! It can’t be water-type jade!” Du Gaoyang roared. He thought of a hundred million… then, disregarding his dignity, he lunged toward Ye Feng, snatching the water-type jade from his hand.

Then let the others rest for a while, and later join her to catch those people off guard.

Mingyang’s body and Lisheng’s body were no more than two centimeters apart, while the spirits of Shi Mo and Xian Qi had each left their physical forms—now, what they touched was truly each other.

Liu Shi mentioned this partly to show off, but also because the village wanted to hold a grand feast after the summer harvest to celebrate, and to pray to the gods for continued bountiful harvests year after year, so everyone’s lives could improve.

When the nobles heard Hopkins’s words and opened their mouths to speak, Sean silenced them with a single glance.

“Why?” Xia Ruoli thought this must be what others had meant by “fortune shifts”—here it was, turning her way in mere moments.

Mira was a doctor, rushing to the hospital—there was a heart surgery waiting for her this morning.

He saw nothing strange about the jade, and by its current appearance, it was certain to be a loss—but the raw stone gave him a feeling unlike its outward appearance. This intuition came from a lifetime of gambling on jade; he never expected a junior to possess such perception—truly, the younger generation was formidable.

Hearing this, Leon found it hard to believe—he had never fought those monsters himself, so he couldn’t know how powerful and relentless they were; only after actual combat did he realize that without using his trump cards, he couldn’t even break their skin, let alone kill them.

In Gu Xiaodie’s panicked gaze, Gu Changge turned and leapt without hesitation toward the cliff.

After speaking, Liu Erhu immediately turned to look at the Land Rover, as if waiting for someone’s reply.

Although the Alchemy Courtyard was a key location in the Wang family, right now it was guarded by only a few Senior Experts, and the Wang family’s newly appointed Alchemy Guest Elder was himself only a Senior Expert—so it was the safest place.

I was grateful to be saved by a bird—I silently thanked it a thousand times, thinking that the bald man would surely have bad luck now, because folk legend says: being pooped on by a bird marks the start of misfortune, a very bad omen.

This was the most frustrating, but Gao Hongfei firmly believed that if he truly focused and worked hard, he would find a solution.

Wu Zhihui grew angrier the more she watched, so she boldly began jumping around He Sibai: “He Sibai! He Sibai! He Sibai!” She jumped on and off the bed, making it creak loudly.

“Master, it’s confirmed—the mountain has no name; the locals call it Shiling. It was just bought yesterday by an outsider!” said a servant.

Once, when Gao Hongfei was preparing to go out on business, he happened to meet Wang Zhiyuan; the two exchanged greetings, after which Old Wang spoke with hidden meaning.

Shangguan Hao thought it over—it was true; lately he’d been so busy that even during the wedding procession, he and Qingzhu had been in the same group, yet he hadn’t spoken a single word to Qingzhu.

I glanced at him, took the bottle, and drank a few swallows; when I handed it back, a wicked thought flashed through my mind, and I pointed to the grave mounds in the barren land.

Lin Manman and Fang Yaqi stared at Adai in shock. Damn, she’d thought Adai had decent talent, but she had vastly underestimated her.

Winds rose and clouds churned; the original yellow, purple, red, and white clouds transformed drastically—the other three colors vanished entirely, leaving only yellow, which filled the entire space.

These dozen corrupt officials tumbled into the dirt, bound and unable to rise, crying out in pleading desperation.
