Volume 1, Chapter 36: Greed Leads to Peril

Widow Zhang yawned and cursed, "Who is it? In the middle of the night, are you looking to die? Can’t you let a person sleep?"

"Aunt, it’s me, Ye Cheng."

Hearing it was Ye Cheng, Widow Zhang paused, her tone immediately softening. "Oh, Er, what do you need me for at this hour?"

"Well, Aunt, come help us tie up some crabs. I’ll pay you 150. Are you coming?"

The 150 Ye Cheng offered was quite generous. Half of it was because he knew working in the middle of the night was hard, and half was out of pity for Widow Zhang, who was raising her child alone.

"150?" Widow Zhang exclaimed. "I’ll come, I’ll come! Where are you?"

"At that plot the village assigned to us."

"That plot? That plot this morning..."

To this day, he still didn't know if his initial choice had been right or wrong. For generations, the Yun family had guarded the borders and stood as enemies of the Wei State. Though they were now at peace, who could predict when war might break out again?

Perhaps it was true. There is such a force in this world, a flame ignited when the heart commands the soul: that is love.

Returning to the spot, he saw Wei Rou-ti waiting for him, her head lowered, holding something in her hands.

The Ermigasha waterway stretched across the zenith. Hearing Susan’s words, the others agreed it was a good idea.

At this moment, his head was resting on the edge of the bath, his face tilted slightly upward, revealing a sexy Adam’s apple. Water droplets shimmered on his fair chest like pearls.

Chu Peng actually asked him to come here to bail out Su Jiaojiao. This was clearly backward. He had only agreed to bail her out to save face for Chu Peng, but now that he had run into Gu Lanshan, what qualifications did Su Jiaojiao have to be bailed out by him?

However, because Gu Lanshan was pregnant, many things were inconvenient, and in a while, her belly would be too big to wear a beautiful wedding dress. Thus, the final result of the discussions between the Sheng and Chu families was for the parents on both sides to meet for a meal to fulfill the formality of a marriage proposal and, incidentally, discuss the wedding arrangements.

The three Grade 9 beast-warrior elites disregarded their own safety, combining their strength in a full-force strike to block Naigaer’s heavy punch. Although all three were left spitting blood, the time they bought was enough for Leander and the others to arrive and rescue them.

Mu Zi-ang and Nie Yunhua also rose and walked over, but they didn’t rush to ask questions, instead staring unblinkingly at the sweating doctor.

Leng Yuan was just about to speak when the nanny behind her cast a glance at her and then lowered her eyes. She forcibly swallowed the words that had reached her lips.

Hearing this, the group was momentarily surprised, though Meng Zhao noticed the calm expressions of the elders, who had clearly known all along.

Just as Wang Xika was hesitating, a yellow figure pounced on a mammoth like a bolt of lightning. It looked much like a tiger, but was much larger than those of later generations—about three or four meters long with a shoulder height of two meters.

He was afraid of mindless praise from younger fans, and of course, the cafeteria was also stirring up trouble for no reason.

Below them stood a massive ancient city. It was vast, stretching for thousands of miles from east to west, with dense buildings arranged within. As they walked into the Ye Hong Blessed Land, they were awestruck, and Li Jihuang could not help but marvel.

That was why Harley had been ambushed today; she had been attacked by several factions the moment she stepped outside. If she hadn't been clever enough to duck into Church Street, she would have been gunned down long ago.

For Sun Jian, his son would eventually take over his position, so introducing him to the Vice President of Kaiyuan Network early on could only be beneficial.

Tailong and his party had already arrived outside the training room, hearing the screams coming from within.

Lu Yu had familiarized himself with the route when he arrived, so he could certainly name the place.

Green Bull did not answer Li Ao, but his body suddenly began to change, and a massive tail appeared behind him.

What Wang Xika was most curious about, of course, was why these Aztecs were chasing this giant phoenix.

"Yan Zhenzhen is perfectly fine? I clearly arranged for someone to lure her into the Rong prince’s room. How did it end up being me?" An Ran stopped crying and stared blankly at Yan Jiajia.

"Come in!" As soon as she finished speaking, a reply came from inside, and this single response was enough to reflect the urgency of the person within.

After refining and revising, she finally submitted the draft. In the final version, she incorporated the style of the bracelet originally designed for Xiao Jinxuan, making it almost a series. The theme was such a perfect fit that there was no way to avoid it.

"Mr. Ye Daoxuan is the only son of Mr. Ye Mo, the owner of Fanye Biopharmaceuticals. Although he is physically challenged, he has achieved remarkable results in the field of biological research, which our friends in North America have witnessed for themselves," the old butler said, speaking highly of Ye Daoxuan.

This chaos seemed truly chaotic; he did not know how much time had passed, yet there was no change. Lin Xiao waited for an unknown duration, thinking this memory regression had ended, and moved his mind to return.

It was a collection of star systems connected by a long, narrow star-gate network, looking like an ancient molecular model used for teaching.

Although Yun Chu trusted that the security at the CEO’s place was absolutely foolproof, they were, after all, complete strangers. If one had to call it anything, it was merely a brief "teacher-student relationship."

"I advise you not to get involved in this matter!" Sled looked at Andruska helplessly and said firmly.

"Sister Yingning, my mother is just too happy, so she’s talking a bit much. Please don’t mind her," Shen Yueyou said, looking a bit embarrassed.

At this moment, Cheng Yiyun’s body was slightly bent, her hips tilted up. A surge of restlessness stirred in Lin Kun’s heart; although he wanted to escape, it was clearly impossible. Cheng Yiyun grabbed his hand, placed it on her slender waist, and thrust her body forward, forcing him to pay his "public grain tax."

She felt she couldn't stay silent. If she didn't speak, she would implicate the friends who had traveled and fought alongside her. You had long since considered us friends in her heart, especially since both I and Shuo had saved her. Now, to abandon that and stay silent—You couldn't do it.

Just when they were at their wit's end, Lin Kun suddenly felt a tightening on his ankle. Looking back, he saw Yan Sheng had climbed down from above and grabbed his foot.

Because the pair of eyes he was meeting right then were not human at all. The originally black pupils had turned into vertical, spindle-shaped lines, and a hazy, amber glow emanated from around those spindle-shaped pupils.

Scrolling down, the remaining subjects on the schedule were math, English, physics, and chemistry.

"Clang, clang, clang..." The tin pipe was struck. After a few strikes, the people stopped and tilted their heads to listen to the sound coming from underground.

"Holy cow!" Lin Kun was so startled he cried out and hurriedly dodged to the side. Turning back, he was stunned to find that a ghost had emerged from somewhere.

Besides, even if she really had some plan, at most she was just an ordinary person—what could she possibly do?

The two men in black walked toward us. Suddenly, a purple light descended, blocking our path.
