Chapter 173: Li Li

Xiao Li’s name is Li Li; she is an ordinary college student majoring in accounting.

She looks plain, her university is even more ordinary—barely a private third-tier school, not even a second-tier one.

She originally wanted to find a job in her hometown, but her hometown is a small county in Anhui Province; aside from passing the civil service exam, there were no suitable options, and she failed that too. With graduation season long past and no job in sight, she had no choice but to come alone to Shanghai, hoping to find one.

Gazing at his son, who had worn the same blank expression throughout, Grandmaster Gu felt an indescribable rage within.

Although he currently possesses only Level Nine strength, he isn’t afraid of Saint-level opponents—he can simply forcibly break the first seal of the Divine Binding Ring.

In midair, Zhao Xin suddenly let out a scream, then plummeted straight into the sea, sending up a massive splash.

Liu Zhengyang, just confirmed he wasn’t dreaming, heard Liu Xian’er’s words and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“One is the village chief’s son, the other the militia captain’s son. As long as I want to keep living in this village, I dare not resist,” Li Xiao lowered his head, knowing he had hurt the village’s sons—his life here would now be hard.

When Chen Qiu heard Guo Defen’s words, his lips twitched; he smiled bitterly inside, wondering if he truly seemed so worthless in his mother-in-law’s eyes. Besides, in the two years he’d been at the Qin household, when had they ever given him money?

She slipped silently to the kitchen’s front, inching step by step toward the doorframe, revealing one-third of her mechanical head to observe covertly.

The young man across from him never imagined Qin Feng would strike first; in his eyes, the opponent, faced with their overwhelming numbers, should have knelt and begged, handed over the bank card with both hands, then endured broken limbs while thanking them profusely before seeing them off.

The Daoist Bu Xiu, granted Duo Duo’s permission, once again suppressed the churning blood in his body. After ten seconds, it finally calmed somewhat; he immediately teleported back to the Pulse-Checking Vessel.

Is this person, who finds joy in making others unhappy, truly the famed ice-cold CEO the world speaks of?

Duan Zhengming glanced at the room where Duan Yu was still refining the alien true qi; he wanted to wait until Yu’er fully assimilated it before thanking Ye Feng—but it was already too late.

The strength of the Eight Extremes Fist lies in its ability to accumulate residual force from each strike and channel it directly into the next.

A voice suddenly rang out from the corner, drawing everyone’s attention; Huo Fen and the others immediately turned their gazes toward its source.

Fang Baishi cared little—he didn’t even know Chen Ao, so granting him a reward meant nothing to him. He simply refused to appear overly obsequious.

“Don’t you hear what I’m saying? I’ll say it again: stop pretending to be virtuous here. You’re deeply involved in the plot against the Wu and Yao. Never mind anything else—dare you claim you didn’t disrupt the Heavenly Mandate?” Hou Tu refused to yield.

After arranging for his master, Lie Shan Shi informed his mother and immediately rushed to the clan chief’s residence—he intended to spread his discovery and benefit the clan.

He had planned to deal with Chen Ao himself, so he hadn’t yet told Zhao Heng about Chen Ao’s connection to Zhao Ling. But Liu Dongquan had another plan—one that coincided perfectly with Kou Zhun’s.

Upon hearing these words, the previously wailing Qiti turned beet red, so furious he nearly swallowed the Patriarch whole—but he lacked the power to do so, so he fell silent, waiting for his master to act.

But now, look—Ye Kaicheng had given Xu Zuoyan no such opportunity. Watching Ye Kaicheng gently set down the bamboo tally, Xu Zuoyan’s brow knotted tightly.

Chen Ao didn’t know whether Long Qingping had gone far enough; he sprinted toward Jizhou City. Behind him, shouts erupted—clearly, the Khitans were chasing him.
