Chapter 202: The Capsized Boat's Water Is the Tears of the Common People

~8 min read 1,451 words

It must have been back in high school that the house was renovated. The structure was still solid, so they just rearranged the layout, redecorated it once, and it has stayed that way ever since.

In just that short while, the man seemed to have aged thirty-odd years; large patches of wrinkles appeared on his face, and his voice grew ever more hoarse and aged.

"Let me tell you, even if this bastard is unconscious, you still have to drag him inside and keep him in the dungeon." The mayor's Lady grew even more arrogant.

And in Germany, that arrogant momentum swelled bigger and bigger, and they began a live broadcast right there.

Next, he worked through each of the formulas on the blackboard one by one, and they were clear, well-organized, and perfectly on point, without a single stumble.

Yu Yu paid them no more attention and headed straight for that place. The place he was going to had more and more demon beasts, and the ambient energy was becoming extremely rich, with vitality growing ever more abundant—it was a vast mountain range. It looked, in fact, basically the same as the grandest mountain range Yu Yu had seen outside, perhaps even grander.

The points on his body had already reached a full eight hundred, and the trainees below the arena were numb by now, overwhelmed by the shock he brought them.

The rabbit kept yawning and giving answers that had nothing to do with the questions, and finally left behind the words, "He'll be back in a bit," before taking her leave.

The greeter nodded and left, and in a short while called over two attendants; the three of them carried the two pieces of scrap to the back room.

The crowd looked up toward the horizon and saw half the sky lit red by firelight, unsure whose residence had caught fire.

The scene deadlocked for a moment, and the people below the stage stopped their bickering too—even a fool would know by now that someone had come to make trouble for the bar.

"So he really did go there!" Lan Qian had guessed as much before, and sure enough he guessed right; he also wanted to go to that place.

Sister Lan took a deep breath, because after what happened back then, her whole family felt too embarrassed to come to the Liu household. If not for Big Sister this time, she was afraid she wouldn't even have gotten through the door. Sister Lan cast a sidelong glance at certain people who were equally full of envy, and smiled smugly.

"What do you mean?" The Empress Dowager's body tensed, and a look of suspicion crept into her gaze as she looked at Wushuang and the nameless one.

Moreover, Gu Xu also knew Huo Sining's usual temperament. Since they weren't married yet, they couldn't truly be considered one family, and this Miss still couldn't fully open her heart to him with absolute trust. Keeping things split half-and-half, public and private clearly separated, was actually quite reasonable.

He was willing to do it this way, believing it was for her own good, so she accepted it. Just as she was unwilling to let him know she had hurt her own wrist in order to kill Yang Yizun—both for the sake of letting each other have a little more peace of mind.

Yun Xiang loved eating mooncakes. Especially the old-fashioned ones with red bean paste filling. So a few days ago she couldn't resist making some herself. Who would have thought, once her family tasted them, they all loved the flavor, so she had already kneaded the dough early and made another batch.

Once the children of each household went back and told their parents, most of the parents would send some return gifts over. After this back-and-forth, the Jiang family's relations with their surrounding neighbors improved greatly.

Moreover, the atmosphere in the dormitory had been getting stranger and stranger lately. Xuan Qin was deeply struck and growing more and more silent; Lu Xiang was still the same, unwilling to engage with anyone; even Luo Feifei could no longer hold up her gentle, warm smile.

"Long time no see, Big Brother Liang. Is our manager still upstairs?" Li Huanfei greeted the security guard with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

At the same time, Yun Ya slightly raised her hand, and a crimson long spear flew out, carrying a world-shocking spear intent that shot straight into the heavens, slaying in all directions.

Hoodlums were smashing, looting, and robbing everywhere. Guo Jun had only about a hundred men under him in total, and to suppress so many troublemaking ruffians would take several days of work to get done.

The second one was more troublesome, though, because Dian had just played the role of Nobita for a turn, and he figured the other party wouldn't be like Shizuka, blushing and splashing a bit of bathwater to make do.

"What exactly do you want?" Yuè'er stopped in her tracks, glaring at him with furious eyes.

Lila glanced at the sky once more, then ran forward, with a handsome, agile young man following behind her.

At this moment, Cain's heart went still—another Pokémon was about to sacrifice itself for him—and he silently recalled the Claydol.

Passing through the residential district, they crossed the Xizi Bridge over the heart of Yingyue Lake, went past the pleasure quarters, and made their way through the wine shops.

Dian touched again the Sword of Royal Power at his neck, already fully restored, and the red feather on his chest. He refused to believe it—even if he couldn't win, surely he could still escape.

"That's enough! Stop right there! Let's move on from this topic!" Liu Zhi, seeing his big brother getting more and more worked up as he spoke, quickly cut off the conversation.

"Two half-step Heavenly Gods fighting one King-realm me—if this got out, where would you even put your faces?" Luo Tiange said.

Before Master Wu could finish speaking, Chen Yun raised a foot and kicked him hard in the gut with a thud.

Han Bei, who was focused on slaying the invading Lava Ant clan at the docks, had barely had a moment's peace from his communicator for over a day—it had been flooded with call requests from Spirit Demon Era, all of which he ignored. But one message he had just received nearly made him lose his grip on his bow.

The instant the announcement began, the two figures on the stage erupted with momentum, instantly flooding the entire arena; none of them showed the slightest hint of slackening.

The Seven-Glory Stars flew out, like seven stars shining in the void, blooming with seven-colored starlight. The Seven-Glory Stars Obliteration Origin Art bound that person in place—so much so that even moving a finger became a luxury.

"Lin Jingyu, this matter isn't simple. I've already informed the higher-ups to see if they can resolve it through diplomatic channels," Director Wu said.

If Tang Nuoyan's character caused the company to suffer losses, then Tang Nuoyan's position as chairman would likely be impossible to hold onto even if he wanted to.

Shopkeeper Hua had already decided to part ways with Tianxia Lou; regarding anything beyond his capabilities, he didn't even consider it, saying there was nothing he could do.

Awakening Lion was a fine hand at commanding legions in battle, and his own strength was also outstanding—of course he could sense the hostility from that group.

Her gaze fell on Li Rao, and she saw that Li Rao had listened to her words calmly from beginning to end, without a single change in expression on her face.

In Jiaozhou City, dealing with salt merchants and smuggled-salt peddlers every day, spending each day scheming about collecting silver—although watching the silver grow day by day made it feel as if my lord's enterprise was secured, as a soldier he still wished the work he did was a little purer, and a little simpler.

After arriving home, besides the hundred taels of silver she had given Father He last time, Qiao Mingjin also wrapped up five taels for each person. Yue Dalei also wrapped up five taels. Qiao's father and the others initially refused to accept it. Yue Dalei in particular said he had only worked a few days and taking so much money truly made him feel unworthy. But Qiao Mingjin insisted on giving it, so they all accepted it in the end.

Hearing this, the crowd only then noticed that Rong Zhan had also returned along with Marquis Ningping; he just hadn't found a chance to speak up, so no one had paid him any attention, that's all.
