Chapter 168

Saying this, three burly men carrying several large chests walked over from afar—they were all Ilina's suitors, and also the reinforcements she had invited.

"Da Bao, what are you doing?" Wu Liuqi stared, utterly baffled by Da Bao's move.

"Big Brother Sixteen, everyone has their own path—I hope you'll respect my choice." Zhao Hu fixed his gaze on Ye Ying, gripping his large blade tightly—his meaning was clear: he didn't care if he had to clash blades with Ye Ying.

Huiyuan's voice was cool but not aggressive; she merely urged Ilina to attend class.

I heard that to supply medicinal herbs to the frontier, you need Elder Song to submit a memorial first, reporting the matter.

Li Wan Ning also stared intently at Gao Ping, who was about to transform into a ghost—this aura she had never encountered among ghosts before; it was incredibly powerful.

"But since you look so pitiful…" Chu Ge casually locked the birdcage—with a twenty-digit password lock.

"What are you thinking? If you can mass-produce high-grade engineering weapons, maybe I'll even sign a soul contract with you."

"This is too precious—I absolutely cannot accept it." Huang Zisu saw the one hundred and eight silver needles inside the needle case, shook her head, and pushed them back toward Madame Xie.

"Wife, this is mine, this is mine too—you belong only to me…" He whispered breath against her ear with each touch, as if claiming ownership.

"If the Empress Dowager is unwell, perhaps I may take the liberty of removing her veil." Prince Gong saw Empress Cian sitting still, walked over himself, and reached out toward the soft gauze.

Perhaps because everyone was tired from climbing the mountain and their stomachs were empty, the food on the mountaintop tasted far more delicious than what they usually ate in the city.

Li Sanquan had barely walked a short distance when he encountered the Emperor and Empress Dowager's carriage; his arrival also caught Li Lianying's eye—Li Lianying knew Li Sanquan had gone out yesterday to pursue the assassin, so it seemed he had just returned.

I thought Xiao Xi had just gone to play in the southern suburbs, so I didn't think much of it and told Ah Zhong to handle Yao Zhonghao's matter first.

In terms of spiritual soul cultivation, he has already passed the eighth lightning tribulation, just half a step away from Meng Shenji's ninth tribulation realm—meaning Xia Yang is now extremely close to the Yangshen realm.

This lady—could she be possessed? Acting so dazed and foolish—it's laughable beyond measure.

"Big Brother Xia Nan…" Chu Yanner looked at his slightly angry face, then turned back to Blue Treasure and Manager Li.

He wore a white shirt with the top button undone, revealing an attractive collarbone; though dressed plainly, Su Nian'an found it strangely alluring. He leaned forward, long fingers interlaced on the table.

Ling'er sprayed the herbal solution she made around the cave's entrance—nothing was impossible in these woods; such a massive beast might appear inside the cave, and there was no telling if an identical one might be lured here. The sounds of firewood being added and water boiling caused the child to stir awake.

Ning Qian was amused again by Shen Chengren's words, because she had genuinely misunderstood his meaning, thinking he simply wanted to rest for a while.

Chu Xi glanced at her without meaning, then reached out and turned off the light: "You're sure that's not yours? I don't have that function—I can't give birth." Who's bullying whom here? She's lucky if she doesn't bully her son.

During break, Tang Bo was dozing off in class; his desk-mate in front was Ren Ping and Gao Jue, and behind him was his dorm roommate No. 2—the weirdo.

Shuang'er nodded, then lowered her head, finally no longer resisting Fan Yanyan—but her eyes still carried fear and alarm.

Xingtian Yao wore a smile, but Han Qingjue sensed Xingtian Yao was about to explode; if a fight broke out now, they wouldn't gain the upper hand.

"Launch a counterattack? Without precise coordinates, wouldn't such a counterattack just waste our missiles?" the Chief of Staff asked in astonishment.

"Sorry, could you tell me what's going on?" Chen Yiru looked at the three men standing face to face—the silence, the strange expressions on their faces—Chen Yiru smiled.

Ning Qian felt this was right: to face Shen Chengren's departure abroad with the proper attitude and a positive mindset; she had always been genuinely happy that Shen Chengren had received such a wonderful opportunity.

Wei Yang saw him, and tears instantly filled her eyes. "To see you again—it's so good!" Tears flowed down without her noticing.

Bandong Longnan raised his hand, and then a sharp screech of brakes rang out—a sports car executed a perfect drift on the highway and came to a steady stop by the roadside.

When Xia Liu participated in the Tianfu Chief Examination in Yanjing, he had already demonstrated many terrifying abilities.

"Then why are you moving out? Do you think I'll run short of food for you?" Yang Weiwei smirked.

"Huh?... You... Boss..." Shi Chen stared at Wu Feng, captured alive by Qi Feng; his tongue felt tied, his words came out in broken fragments, loud as if he were shouting to a deaf man.

"At the time, I accompanied my family elders to Weidu Wu'an, but got separated from them on the street and was surrounded by that playboy..." As she spoke, Zhuge Ling's hatred resurfaced on her face.

As for his promise to give the victorious magic artifact to Senior Liu, it was mainly to ensure he wouldn't go around talking and exposing his identity. After all, his purpose in coming here wasn't the artifact—doing a favor was no harm.
