Chapter 171: The Caged Bird (1.12W)

"A 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 as a guest in Wang Jingyi's mansion; as a disciple of Dishui Cave, he had few acquaintances in Hongdengzhao—why would anyone send him a pair of green-furred rabbits?

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

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

Right now, he suddenly hated himself for pretending to be mad and foolish—if he hadn't played the fool, he might have already seized Bai Bai and made her his principal consort.

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 Dahuang Imperial Palace like his own backyard—this kind of formal announcement was unprecedented.

Xia Yixue certainly knew all this; precisely because Murong Xuan had failed, 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 leg?

Entering the room, seeing how warm it was from the stove, the old lady took off her fur cloak and handed it to a nearby maid. Without being told, the servants brought hot tea and pastries, all bowing their heads and keeping their eyes down, looking very proper.

"Actually, I think I can help too." Before being sent away, Feng Hua noticed she was the only one left with nothing to do—still unwilling to give up, she clung to the doorframe.

Tian Sheng Group, centered on Gao Ze's hall—the closer to Gao Ze, the better the treatment. 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, Yuan Xiao stared at the tightly shut door of the chairman's room and fell into deep thought.

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

Seeing she ignored him, he assumed she was angry, dropped 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 truly owed Gao Ze more than they could ever repay.

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

"Now, I will explain to you all a new weapon I've learned from my discussions with the Lord of Tianxuan Sect. From now on, this weapon will become one of the core arms of our Taiyi Xian Sect—may all senior elders take this seriously."

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

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

At this moment, the two were only one step away from the center—when suddenly, thin strands of golden light, finer 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, Brother Hu'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 anguish 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 two newly formed giant legs; in the end, a humanoid monster entirely composed of mutated ants was completed. This humanoid monster stood forty meters tall, its surface teeming with densely packed, writhing ants.

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