Chapter 490: The Bond of Sharing a Bed

On the street, lanterns flickered to life.

Li Qingrong saw Jiang Nian walking off quickly, hesitated a moment, then called out to him.

"Where are you going?"

"To get the car," Jiang Nian replied, turning back to explain briefly, "It's a bit damaged, but it'll do for moving."

Hearing this, Li Qingrong thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Hmm."

She had intended to say there were two cars in the garage at home—both bought by Li Lanying—but she changed her mind and stayed silent.

Following Zhao Hua's gesture, Qin Yi glanced over; the place was still filled with dunes, but atop these dunes stood many broken stone pillars.

When everyone had been introduced—including Lin Chuxue, who was presented as the granddaughter-in-law—Shen Qiyeh was conspicuously left out.

Xiao Yun raised a hand and effortlessly lifted the folding fan; it felt slightly heavy, at least several ten thousand jin-weight, and Xiao Yun could not force it open, nor could he channel energy into it.

The food was good; Xu Tianyu nodded in satisfaction, ordered one portion of each dish and two large portions of rice; after the bumpy journey, he was starving, then stepped aside to wait for Liao Yanran to swipe her card.

Kel'Thuzad's lich form would instantly paralyze any civilian who laid eyes on this "majesty."

The sky was just beginning to lighten, the ground damp, as if a heavy rain had just passed; the air still carried a cold, damp chill.

Hearing the Yang family's cheers, Qin Yi walked to the four corpses, collected the four storage rings and the four weapons on the ground, clasped his hands behind his back, and grinned wickedly at the four clan heads before him.

"Can his heart be grafted? I feel I won't live much longer—I need a heart like that," said Zhenren Chihe, already plotting.

"Is the Logistics Office not too busy lately? Any news from the stars? We've been tied up with the mecha tournament and haven't paid attention to that." I asked casually, not really caring about extraterrestrial news.

At this moment, the remaining seven chaotic beasts eyed each other warily, hostile yet quietly shifting their bodies closer to the Proton War Star.

"I arrived with the Crown Prince this morning, but he took the public route while I took the secret one—he's in the open, while I remain hidden," Ming Siqing said calmly.

In an instant, the rebel army stood before the city gates, which were tightly shut; soldiers on the walls stood ready, bows and firelocks aimed downward, and the cannon crews of the red-cannon artillery prepared to load and ignite.

The righteous and noble Princess stared coldly at Qin Mo, as if ignited by a "sense of mission."

This question naturally made Ding Yan awkward, but as always, she didn't need to answer—Wu Ming would never let such awkwardness continue.

Stay and help at the noodle shop? It could be a filial act. But helping at the noodle shop

brings no pay; better to go out and earn money, then top up his parents' accounts so they could achieve immortality and eternal youth.

"Good, very good, Ding Yan—this was all your doing, wasn't it? It seems you truly don't care about this family anymore!" Li Mei, powerless against Wu Ming blocking her way, finally vented all her frustration on Ding Yan.

But Cheng Jinghuan always remained clearly aware that most of these people didn't truly like him—they were only drawn to him because of Gu Jia Nan and the profit to be gained.

After recently becoming familiar with several projects in the design department, Director Zhuang began assigning her real tasks, such as designing a villa district in a residential area or buildings for an urban village renovation project.

To Xu Cheng's surprise, one swing of the hoe unearthed a beginner-level special treasure chest.

Rong Lisha was a key cultivation prospect of the Ninth Division—she had excellent talent and strong power, but her boyfriend was merely a local cultivator; even though they had been college classmates since before Earth's spiritual energy emerged and had dated for years, their relationship had ultimately reached its end.
