“There are three woven sacks in all. I counted them for you—eighty-four green crabs altogether.” Widow Zhang reported the number briskly.
Ye Cheng: Fine. You can even beat me to the answer now.
The fact that Widow Zhang could report the number so quickly at least proved that she was not a foolish woman. Perhaps he really could consider giving her a chance in the future.
Ye Cheng opened the sacks and took a look. They were packed densely with green crabs, yet each sack was only half full.
“If you pack them too tightly, they’ll be crushed. Once they die, they won’t fetch a good price, so I only filled each one halfway,” Widow Zhang explained, gazing at Ye Cheng expectantly.
This was the moment when Ye Cheng ought to fulfill his promise.
“Mm.” Ye Cheng nodded, ...
The Sea Tribe is definitely going to Sea God Island. If you follow them, what else could you be planning besides laying claim to Sea God Island?
Yang Yunxi had never expected Xi He to come and pay her respects, and no one had told her about it either. Yet Xi He had not only come, she had been allowed straight inside. Clearly, Zhu Li had approved it.
Ji Ruoyu did not answer Yan Chen. She merely watched him in silence. After a while, no one spoke. Clearly, everyone knew about the relationship between Yan Chen and Ji Ruoyu.
“Mother, rest assured. I will certainly grow close to her!” Li Wanrou’s eyes lit up, and she was instantly overjoyed.
They had been mentioned in the same breath as the Saint Martial Hall for so long, yet they had never heard that the Saint Martial Hall actually possessed an Ancestral Saint consciousness.
“Never having happened before does not mean it cannot happen, nor does it mean it is impossible... I was born within the Creation God Domain, and the God Domain itself exists above the Heavenly Vault. In that case, do you still think I am the same as the other divine fires?” The Myriad Spirits Undying Flame smiled faintly as it spoke.
Just as Jun Yunqing charged into the line of defense formed by those zither slaves, turning it into a wall of bronze and iron, the figures of the elders and zither slaves pursuing her also appeared at the entrance to the hall behind her.

When that time came, could the Council of Ancestors, facing the pressure of all twelve major cities on the Heavenly Azure Battlefield alone, choose any path other than compromise?
As she spoke, Xiurong revealed a trace of fear. She blinked, and her eyes instantly filled with tears, making her look utterly frightened.
Even Gu Qingyu had been schemed against and lost her child. To be honest, Yang Yunxi had carried a heavy feeling in her heart all along. She was afraid that she would suffer the same fate as Gu Qingyu, especially since she did not even dare tell anyone that she was pregnant.
“Yuer, Qianfeng has lost this match.” Ling Xiaochen suddenly rose to his feet. Though deeply unwilling to admit it, after witnessing Qianfeng successfully suppress the power of kingship and still end in defeat, he finally realized that the power of kingship seemed to have surpassed the limits of his understanding.
Long Potian’s neck slowly returned to normal. Everything around him had already turned a sickly green, and visibility was less than three feet. Dense poisonous miasma seeped into his body through every gap.
Even with her back turned to the outside, Murong Qingwan could clearly feel a scorching gaze behind her, burning her spine until it ached.
“You will tell me if you wish to. Why should I ask a needless question?” Murong Qingwan closed her eyes, clearly feeling the medicinal liquid slowly seep into her skin, bringing with it a faint, stinging pain.
Who could have known that the moment he finished speaking, Crown Prince Huang’s stomach would rumble loudly, at the most inappropriate possible time.
Zhu Yan’er found the bead rather intriguing and could not help asking about it. It turned out to be called the Yin-Yang Pearl, a rare treasure in its own right. Under ordinary circumstances, it remained hidden inside an artifact or magical treasure, nourishing and moistening one’s spiritual essence. The pearl was also a treasure of the Intent Sword Sect, and its significance was immense.
She had thought no one was home, but when she entered the living room, she saw that Xiao Yan, Pu Yang, and her grandfather Xiao Anhe were all there.
Inside Zhui霞 Palace, Murong Qingwan was pinching her nose as she drank a bowl of extremely bitter medicine. Youzhu held a plate of candied fruit and watched her with a frown. The moment Murong Qingwan finished drinking, Youzhu hurriedly offered her the plate.
“Let go!” she snapped angrily. The man was nothing but a scoundrel, repeatedly taking liberties with her until she could bear it no longer.
Yet by the time she realized that something was wrong, it was already too late. Several soldiers suddenly leaped out from behind her. Like a net cast to catch fish, they seized Gu Huarui. She could not struggle; she could not even move.
Chi Yanfeng was feeling deeply frustrated at that moment. Although he was not the sort of man to vent his anger on her, it was certainly true that he would not give her a pleasant reception.

Shu Mingzhu was not idle either. Seeing her scheme proceed so smoothly, she was thrilled beyond measure. She was already imagining herself entering the marriage hall with Lu Chen beneath Lu Changcun’s watchful gaze once Lu Chen’s illness had been cured.
“As long as you are willing to work hard, you can certainly do it. Chu’er, do you love me? If you love me, then for my sake, work hard—please?” Luo Chenyu spoke almost pleadingly.
The facts proved that Lin Momo’s mind might truly have been blessed at Longquan Temple. Whatever she thought about came true.
As for the exact date of the wedding, it was tentatively set for the summer vacation. By then, Lu Zhi would have officially graduated, and Bai Qingqing would also find it convenient to request leave and return to serve as her bridesmaid.
Xiao Yuan covered her face and stared at Leng Hanmo in astonishment. She had never imagined that Leng Hanmo would suspect she had done it.
“Ouch!” Madam Yu covered her reddened old face and turned to run. Before Father Yu could even make sense of what had happened, his wife had already dragged him back into the house.
The doctor made a rough examination of Yu Siqi’s arm and the injuries on the rest of her body, then nodded.
Caizhi, Ziyu, and the others also withdrew one after another. Although Gu Huarui had said nothing, they had nevertheless guessed a few things in their hearts.
“No, I don’t want to put you in danger as well. But killing him will be difficult. Returning to the true nature of the Devil Fruit, he is extremely hard to kill. If he escapes to another naval base, as long as someone helps stop him, he may flee back to the government. We will inherit the same burden and continue striving.”
Sword energy instantly swallowed the God Defier. That powerful body was pierced by the sword light, then completely enveloped by a sea of swords.
“I only hope you will stop causing trouble!” Lin Chen said irritably. Fortunately, the one being teased was Lin Zhiling. If it had been someone else, Lin Chen would not have known how to deal with it.
