Chapter 437: Off the Charts, Stealing My Credit

If the Shen Xiao mining vessel had already left Han Lao and Xie Qingxue momentarily silent,

then the spirit-material conversion plant on Tiangong Island utterly revealed to them the depth of the Nine Mountains Realm.

"As planned, current spirit-material supplies prioritize Jin Dan disciples first…" Zhang Shijie didn't need to consult the ledgers as she reported to Zheng Fa, "secondly, supporting Tiangong Island's construction and Shen Xiao airship manufacturing."

"Though there's still a slight shortfall, with the Shen Xiao mining

Wujiang lowered his head, his heart crawling with ten thousand ants—his inner turmoil ran so deep it shook his cultivation foundation.

While these two exchanged sweet banter, the others began dissecting the deep-sea demon whale's body, debating which parts to sell where and at what price.

In short, the Emperor held him in high regard, hence today's removal of Wang Yue and promotion of Xiao Jing.

Cang Jiuyao said nothing, walked straight inside, picked up each empty wine jar on the floor, carried them to the door, and Bai Hua immediately took them all away.

Chengguang Chengguang Zhi Zi held her teacup and thanked: "Sakura-chan…" She had barely finished speaking when she noticed Zaojian Jiunai's eyebrows twitching sharply beside her—she froze, confused about what had gone wrong.

Hearing this, even the slowest would know something was off between Jin Dongchuan and Li Yunhao—this was clearly nudging him to report it.

From his pale violet eyes, his own reflection appeared with perfect clarity, and Huaxi was deeply amazed.

Chengguang Chengguang Zhi Zi also perked up her ears; she suspected Li Ruhai was some conglomerate's heir, and she was curious about his exact identity—but her status made it improper to ask. Now someone else had asked for her, perfectly suited her wishes.

Feng Lan paused, then saw the extreme restraint on his face—he knew if she teased him further, he'd rather die than endure the humiliation.

"Officer Jin, have you recently felt things going poorly, often experiencing palpitations and shortness of breath, with strange sensations arising?" Tao Ran fixed his gaze tightly on Jin Dongchuan.

"I had foresight after all—it was indeed a move! Just reversed." Guangtou Qiang rubbed his bald head.

Someone shouted out, and instantly every pair of eyes turned sharply toward the sound.

Upon receiving their gifts, apart from Wang Yao, most of the Ten Ming Shiren remained modest, glancing once at their rewards before stowing them away—but two were exceptions, either too bold or too overexcited.

He probed the room with his spiritual sense again and again, confirming only Qiu Lan and Fei Lin Yi lying in the healing pod were inside—he couldn't comprehend what he'd seen earlier.

Pei Zeng tugged at his lips; he'd met Lin Manman only a few times, but several times he'd caught her eating?

"Sister Xie, this doesn't make sense—could this planet still have hidden elements?" Shi Yuxiong asked uncertainly.

Ning Yuan claimed he was rescued by a wandering immortal and had spent these three years learning many skills from him.

In truth, Qiu Donglu had never fully supported Qiu Gaohai's parenting of Qiu Lan, but she had little voice at home, and after Xie Yinrui's departure, she rarely interfered in Qiu Lan's affairs.

When he practiced swordplay, she would prop her chin on her hand and watch, utterly enchanted. Under the full moon, the Dao Lord stood with hands clasped behind his back, sword at his side, robes fluttering slightly, his expression bathed in moonlight—graceful, noble, and radiant.

General Chu Tian tossed his blade to him, turned his back—but his ears twitched slightly; should Yin Jie make any move, he'd strike with Lei Ting.

This unyielding, never-say-die, pure-hearted style and plot drew Zhou Xingxing in more deeply.

Hua Mingwei sat among the guests, arms crossed, glanced at the person lounging with legs crossed above, and let out a sharp, contemptuous snort.

That scene was something even she couldn't imagine—she knew she lacked the ability to match Zou Lin Bu Fan, and yet, she grew even more curious about Zou Lin Bu Fan.
