Chapter 326: The Gap Between People

After enduring those few minutes of social embarrassment on the road.

The brother and sister followed Xiao Xiao to a villa situated deeper inside the compound.

Along the way, Xiao Xiao explained everything.

There were only about thirty villas in this entire villa district.

In terms of privacy and land value, they belonged to the most elite tier in Jingcheng.

Of course, this applied only to areas in Jingcheng measurable by money.

Otherwise, going inside the first ring road would be the real thing.

The group of Count Cassel and others had no time for such nonsense, especially Nicolas Cage, who cared less about his grandson in the arena and instead fixated on Wu’s Tyrant War Hammer.

Their words completely dispelled Li Yi’s doubts. He bowed to the group, saying, “I’ll show my clumsiness,” and laid everything out plainly.

His body was covered in green feathers, with pale feathers below, a pair of enormous wings protruding from his back, fluttering slightly and stirring a gentle breeze; his head was enormous, mouth slightly open, revealing sharp, densely packed teeth; his tail, accounting for one-third of his body, curled and swayed gently.

“If it were me, I wouldn’t want my descendants to suffer such peril,” Lan Luos shook his head, disagreeing with the other’s view.

“No need to look further—we accept.” Yan Beixue grew excited; though she didn’t know whether Han Zhi’s claim was true, there was still a glimmer of hope, wasn’t there? As long as there was even a sliver of a chance to cure Yan Beihan, Yan Beixue was willing to try.

Having obtained the core crystal, Asu felt satisfied. He turned to see Han Zhi leading Yan Beihan and the others over, then turned to leave. As he walked away, he cast one final, lingering glance at Song Xiangcheng, licked his lips mockingly, and grinned with malice.

A flash of sharp light passed through his blood-red eyes; his right fist halted mid-air, but suddenly, between his left index and middle fingers appeared a golden needle, swift as a thunderclap, like a golden serpent spitting its forked tongue, aimed straight at Shen Yun’s throat.

To be honest, many mysteries on the Tianqi Continent remained unsolved, but Li Chen couldn’t wait—he felt there was no point wasting more time.

“Young Master, after you’ve finished with her, might I beg a favor—could you grant her to me? This girl has been insufferably arrogant in front of me.” Cameran, as Carina’s uncle, could utter such words—clearly, Cameran had fallen completely, his demonic nature laid bare.

When Han Daniu approached Jin Yaqi with a million-yuan annual salary offer to become the Mingzhu Group’s image ambassador, Jin Yaqi immediately understood what it meant.

The instant he was attacked, his body reacted instinctively—that was thanks to the system’s beginner gift package; at the same time, Chu Feng realized the system’s gifts were genuinely powerful.

Then again, it made sense—he’d been kicked several zhang away and felt absolutely fine.

No wonder that bird wasn’t afraid of people—it wasn’t a bird at all, but a demonic soldier. If I weren’t a demonic cultivator, I’d have been torn apart back then.

Gao Minqi had learned her lesson. She stopped struggling and calmly asked: “Then what do you know?”

But he never expected Pei Xiao to leap off her warhorse, duck behind Li Anquan, and then the man’s dagger plunged straight toward Li Anquan’s chest.

“Young Master?!” Su Tie cried out simultaneously. An Mei’s vision blurred—next second, two swords appeared before her eyes. One blade’s tip hovered just an inch from her throat; had the other not intercepted it in time, she would already be pierced! An Mei staggered back several steps in shock.

The man holding Wan Ying trembled involuntarily at the terrifying gaze, his grip on the sword at her throat tightening unconsciously.

Gu Minxing had never felt he disrespected Lin Ruan—he even believed he had shown her immense patience.
