Chapter 226: The Man in the Well, the Soul in the Eye (Combined)

Tick—tick—

A strange ticking sound began echoing in Zijin's ears as she stood in the small courtyard; at first it sounded like a clock's second hand ticking incessantly, then vaguely like water droplets rippling across a calm lake.

Her consciousness gradually blurred.

She paid no attention to the calls of Xiaoxiao and Qiaobiluo beside her.

She walked mechanically toward the well.

With each step forward, her foot sank slightly into the soft earth.

The entire stone-deciphering hall erupted in chaos. Everyone surged toward the rough-stone area as if afraid that a moment's delay would cost them their chance at fortune.

Tian'an nodded silently; such a family system was unimaginable in the twenty-second century—he had truly broadened his horizons.

Under Gushu's command, warriors boarded various light-transformed war vehicles, all of which fully activated their laser shields to counter the treasure-light beams fired from the Hundred Treasures Cloud-ship, while unleashing thousands of light projectiles toward the two Hundred Treasures Cloud-ships in the sky.

Upon hearing this, the Fire Fiends, though some sat on the ground to rest, mostly scrutinized the Catastrophe Crystal Cannons—after all, this was their first time seeing such high-end equipment; under normal circumstances, they'd never have the chance, and only because Huan Di was so uniquely special had the sect dispatched twenty-odd Catastrophe Crystal Cannons to hold the ground.

Thus, Karina deeply revered Su Yang. She believed Su Yang could indeed accomplish things ordinary people could not.

Regarding taxation, since the lord wished to return wealth to the people, taxes were nearly zero. However, with the establishment of the new city, countless shops would enter Havaei Island, bringing substantial revenue to the domain through taxation.

The golden light and auspicious clouds spreading layer upon layer from the horizon swept away the gloom above the city. Now, moonlight spilled like water across the land, the ten-thousand-li night sky crystal clear, and high above, countless solemn figures stood in dense rows, descending toward the mortal realm.

When Ye Shao was arrested, the Four Young Masters of Sang City hired someone to approach Wu, the deputy captain of the police force, and gave each of them 100, 00 yuan to secretly rough him up and cripple Ye Shao.

Ye Shao smiled faintly: "Didn't Feng Lei Hand say he'd turn my wedding day into my funeral day? Seeing this, he'd probably just die of rage."

Someone opened their mouth to speak, but after glancing at Tan Zhongyong's gloomy expression, they said nothing.

At some point, several squads—four hundred strong, clad in strange full-body suits, wielding wooden swords—formed a formation and blocked their path.

A deep, lingering village song, thick with rustic charm, fell from the sky like a sudden downpour.

A violent wind surged across the sea, waves tens of meters high crashing toward the Eagle Nation fleet.

While explaining, his tail lashed across Xiong Zhentian's buttocks, and he shot him a warning glance.

You second branch eat from my father's table, live in my father's house, and even you, you old bastard, are fed by my father.

Shen Shiyi's phone had been off all night; now opened, it showed 99+ messages and 99+ calls—Ji Hewan had sent the most messages and made the most calls. She felt a fleeting, inexplicable excitement, but the calls and messages stopped abruptly at ten p. . last night, with no further messages or calls afterward—the excitement vanished instantly.

Wu Zhen first gave orders to the city guards: regardless of what happened, they were not to obstruct Miao Zhiming and his group from leaving.

Listening to the laughter and chatter, Ye Chen could roughly judge that most students were quite young.

But who could know how long this seemingly good situation would last?

Of course, Com had his own grievances toward Bu Ni, yet the resentment he once felt upon meeting Bu Ni had now settled quietly.
