Chapter 244: Secondhand Fried Chicken

Shi Misi was in a great mood—so good, in fact, that he even felt like taking a stroll through the slums of Manila.

Though the men and women here disgusted him, the place did have its own distinct character.

After one disgraceful operation, his superiors finally agreed to transfer him out.

Right now, every nation was watching the causes and aftermath of the great battle in the Gulf of Aden; the wreckage still hadn't been salvaged, and they strongly suspected that Black Continent harbored some secret power.

However, his superior was very good to Shi Misi,

Police Superintendent Hu sighed, then changed the subject and asked—his own branch was swamped with police business, and he had little time to reminisce with this old colleague.

Not only did Liu Gengxin not expect it, but even Jia Min and the entire merchant caravan hadn't expected Baochai and the others to join the fight this time.

Once the two entered the city, Xue Rengui told Li Hao some bad news: the Tubo wedding escort had already departed for the Western Tujue—three thousand men strong. Flying Eagle had arrived a few days late, but he and his people had already gone to tail them. Xue Rengui had also dispatched scouts to keep a close watch, waiting for them to turn back.

Lin Jiu and Ma Madi both bowed in return. Under the sect's rules, even Ma Madi didn't dare appear in his usual slovenly manner.

Just as Sun Yuanfei had said, the Sun family was a prominent local household. Though the residence wasn't as grand as the Rong Mansion or the Ning Mansion, the land here was vast and sparsely populated, so it occupied an enormous area and was very spacious.

The moment they looked, they knew it had to be the object Qingfeng had told Wang Kaixuan to choose another burial site for, to be interred together with the zongzi's ashes.

"Alright, go back, get the military doctor to treat your wounds properly, rest well, everyone dismissed." Li Hao said casually.

The more Min Sinian drank, the brighter his eyes grew; the more Qin Mama drank, the more alarmed she became. Summoning her courage, she said, "Third Master, let's call it a night—your concubine truly can't go on." With the wine going to her head, Qin Mama's entire face had turned crimson.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaofeng was seen holding a megaphone, floating in midair, and shouting arrogantly at both sides.

A few people in charge routinely reported the results of the past few days' investigation to Qiu Yeming, then each returned to their seats and waited for his instructions and arrangements.

"You really are bored." Dean saw the deep seriousness in Ash's eyes, knew Ash wasn't lying, so he gave Ash a casual glance and said.

However, when the two faced the Xuanwu, it wasn't the swift defeat they had imagined. They took the Xuanwu's attack, their bodies blasting back tens of thousands of zhang, then steadied themselves side by side, a cold glint stirring in their eyes.

She looked frail, but was in fact extremely strong inside—otherwise she couldn't have endured three years and even found a way to ease the pain. It was just that everything before her was too miraculous, leaving her a bit dumbfounded.

To smoothly track down the missing commoners, the martial brothers each used their own abilities—even the strange knight Bao Fei was transformed into a beast demon, each of them covered in hair, with hideously ugly appearances, as they infiltrated the demon mountain.

Dugu Shuqin lightly clenched her chin, her expression growing extraordinarily complex—a mixture of surprise, unease, and conflict.

"Disgusting, lecher!" She turned her head to leave, her feet unconsciously stepping backward. Her heart was now full of shame and annoyance, her mind unsteady—where was the calm, composed will of a martial artist? She hadn't noticed she had already retreated to the very edge of the arena, with no place behind her to stand.

Hearing the Hunter Dragon's arrogant words, the soldiers were all seething with pent-up fury. Xue Dingshan, upon hearing this, realized the Hunter Dragon was far too overconfident and had to be taught a proper lesson. So he had his second brother Xue Dinghai display his martial skills and engage it in fierce combat.

Country H's current situation was chaotic—Shen Tu's whereabouts were unknown, and whether the mysterious Purple Sovereign could be used was uncertain. Chu Ping stared at the chess pieces representing those people, his gaze deep, lost in thought.

Wave after wave of evil qi seemed to rise from the ground, and also seemed to gather in the air.
