Chapter 171: The Caged Bird (1.12W)

"Green-furred rabbit? And you're giving it to me?"

Wang Rongyuan was a shrewd man—he immediately sensed something was off.

Wang Yulou was staying at Wang Jingyi's mansion; as a disciple of Drip Cave, he had few acquaintances in Red Lantern Town—who would send him a pair of green-furred rabbits all at once?

Unprovoked kindness is either deceit or theft—better to be cautious.

"Uncle Rongyuan, it's been many years since we last met. You've reached Foundation Establishment, and I've grown up. These past years, I've made new…"

Now he suddenly hated himself for pretending to be foolish—he might have seized Bai Bai and made her his principal wife long ago if he hadn't feigned madness.

Su Qingying opened the door, her exquisite face cold and expressionless; in her memories as a human, Prince Regent Su Hentian of Dahuang had always treated the imperial palace like his own backyard—this kind of formal announcement was unprecedented.

Xia Yixue knew all this well; it was precisely because Murong Xuan had failed that she had acquiesced to the Emperor's wish to pass the throne to Murong Yan—how could she not cling tightly to Murong Yan's side?

Entering the room, she found it warmed by the stove; the old lady took off her fur cloak and handed it to a nearby maid. Without being told, servants brought hot tea and pastries, all bowing their heads and keeping their eyes down, looking properly respectful.

"Actually, I think I can help too," Feng Hua, realizing she was the only one left idle before being sent away, still refused to give up, clinging to the doorframe.

The Tian Sheng Corporation's central hall, centered on Gao Ze, offered better treatment the closer one was to Gao Ze. Yuan Xiao thought that if she were in their place, she too would envy the one closest to the sun—but was it truly good to be near Gao Ze? Sitting in her office, she stared at the tightly shut door of the chairman's chamber, lost in thought.

The maids stepped forward to apply medicine, but each was scolded until their eyes turned red—especially Ding Xiang, whose face had been slapped, now swollen and flushed.

Seeing she ignored him, he assumed she was angry, abandoned Xia Hongmang, and rushed out after her.

"It's the Yuan family that owes you." Gao Ze's calmness made the Marshal feel guilty; recalling the events of the past year, the Yuan family owed Gao Ze far too much.

Lin Yifan heard someone call out "Mrs. Lin," and reflexively turned his head—meeting Wu Yutong's gaze at eye level.

"Now, I will explain to you all a new weapon I've learned from my discussions with the Sect Master of Xuantian Sect. From this day forward, this weapon will become one of the core arms of our Taiyi Immortal Sect—may all Elders take this seriously."

Sargeras nodded, choosing not to speak again, his face showing no trace of concern.

Ba Wang Ba didn't feel restrained around Tang Rao; the inside of the shield sphere was spacious enough to move around freely.

At this moment, the two stood only one step from the center—when suddenly, fine threads of golden light, thinner than hairs, descended from above and sank directly into the Jade Yang Spring below.

Golden Bull Guardian: "Pfft, who needs your understanding? We're not from the same world~" Though he spoke this way, he still smiled as he walked away.

For the strong, no environment could affect them in the slightest—this filled Soro with immense envy.

Then Tiger Brother's spear blade veered off—if that were all, the world would still be doomed, but fortunately, she still had her superpower to move her body.

Years of suppressed grief exploded in this moment; Shu Yao screamed, wept uncontrollably, and turned to run away.

As time passed, the mutated ants that had originally covered the entire ground all crawled toward the forming pair of giant legs; in the end, a humanoid monster entirely composed of mutated ants was completed—this creature stood forty meters tall, its surface teeming with a dense, writhing mass of ants.

"I was just thinking you'd come—I wanted to look presentable for you," the old monster grumbled.
