Volume One, Chapter 43: Developing a New Map—Liu Village

“Alright, here you go, but eat less or your teeth will be eaten away by cavities.”

Dou Dou happily took the chocolate, fiddled with it for a moment, then asked curiously, “Second Uncle, is this the foreign brand of chocolate you mentioned last time?”

“Yeah, it’s Dove. I bought it in the city. It’s really delicious. Try a piece.”

Hearing that it was bought by Second Uncle in the city, Dou Dou carefully broke off a piece and put it into his mouth.

His eyes immediately widened, and he nodded repeatedly, “Second Uncle, it’s delicious, so smooth.”

Jiang Yunxiang came out carrying a clay pot. Seeing the chocolate in Dou Dou’s hand, she gave Ye Chengyi a sharp look...

The headache began to gradually fade as Hao Dong recalled this scene. Fifteen minutes later, he felt he had finally come back to life. Although still weak, at least he no longer felt like he couldn’t catch his breath.

To be honest, instant cappuccino in a soft package can’t really be called flavorful; it’s just sugary water with a hint of coffee. No matter how skilled Hao Dong was, he couldn’t replicate the rich aroma of a genuine coffee drink.

In other words, at this moment, no one knew that the Empress was not in the Nine Nether Palace.

Behind Shen Aotian, loud mocking laughter could still be heard from afar, along with curses and resentment from several clan brothers.

Mu Zishan took a couple of steps forward, then retreated, linking arms with Xia Yongning as they entered the building together, since she didn’t know which floor Seven lived on.

Song Qingyu pitifully begged Fang Yao for help, but Fang Yao pretended not to see and refused to acknowledge him—after all, Song Qingyu had almost betrayed himself.

The Emperor’s route changed every time; perhaps today it was this way, but tomorrow it would shift to another direction.

September arrived, and the biggest event at the Duke’s residence was the old Duke’s birthday. However, just like last year, since it wasn’t a milestone birthday, the old Duke had said early on that there was no need for a grand celebration. On the day itself, close relatives and friends would come to the house to drink and watch performances, enjoying a pleasant day.

Su Qianyun had basically lost the ability to move. To carry her up the elevator cable, they had to loosen the current security perimeter.

“The sun’s already high, and it’s still so early?” Chen Manyun emphasized over the phone.

“I like stubborn people like you, though they usually end up dead miserably,” Fuying Chuqing said, taking out a ring.

This “Dragon Sovereign Tian” was the second-ranked genius of the Void Divine Dragon clan. How could he have come to the Bone Refining Grounds? He had long since surpassed the Immortal Star Ancestor realm, and the baptism of the divine dragon blood in the Bone Refining Pool was insignificant to him.

But what did this have to do with the senior sister? Why could her child awaken her?

Since the twelve had been divided into two groups of six, each arena was used by one group.

His son had gone to the capital. What exactly he was doing there, Liao Zhangjin did not know. But at this moment, what his unpromising son could accomplish was a question worth the Governor’s consideration.

Ji Han’s face was stern, his eyes sharp like a hawk’s. Even before Ji Liang’s warning, he had already sensed danger.

The coachman finally rolled out of the deep snow, trying to brush off the snow all over his body, though it was hard to do so clearly.

At this moment, he realized that the rumors outside were true—it really was Ling Xiao, not someone else.

“Damn, Ling Xiao was indeed too impulsive. If only Yang Shuyi had become the Golden Monarch first.”

“I told the two ghosts of Impermanence to help Qin Tian inside to rest. I’m exhausted myself. I’m going to sleep first and continue the metamorphosis tonight.” Back in the room, I lay down and fell asleep easily, as if I hadn’t slept so peacefully in a long time, slipping into dreams as soon as I closed my eyes.

For example, knights also have spiritual power but cannot communicate with wind elements, nor can they control spiritual power effectively. Even wearing magic boots with embedded levitation crystals only enhances jumping, not flight.

What is this? It must be late. Come to think of it, when I decided to live properly, Xu Yiyong’s actions directly proved to me that once this village is passed, there’s no such shop anymore.

The insults escalated to accusations of treason. Fueled by alcohol and determined to reclaim the face lost in the boxing star contest, they began to surround Us.

“Since both of you have seen my true face, I won’t spare you today,” Bai Yuntang said with a ruthless gleam in his eyes.

If everyone knew that Chu Feng not only returned unharmed but also fought back against the Asuras and Kings of Hell in the underworld, they would be terrified.

On second thought, Dai Chong probably found Old Guo strange because his words and stance were different from what he expected, which led to some misunderstandings.

Whether the tall boy did it on purpose to attract Us’s attention or truly intended so, Us didn’t care. He disliked such people and gave the tall boy a second chance, hoping he would choose to leave.

After two cautious peeks, Ed gauged the risk level of exposing his head. Holding a red magical grenade, he pulled the pin and tossed it out with a slight lean.

Despite being severely injured, Ye Tian fought with increasing courage. His punch landed hard on Miao Dong’s stomach.

Yun Tingguo knew this was not the time to take a stand. Although several behind him had anxiously called him countless times and left many messages, after careful thought, Yun Tingguo felt he could not be the one to step forward.

“Your Majesty, I believe the Ministry of Justice was unfair in handling the Yingbin Inn case!” Minister Zhang said angrily.

At the meeting room, Albert, Jem, Hutton, Robert, Belay, Colt, and Bella, who accompanied Li Han, along with nearly all senior staff of Hank Farm, were present.

Generally, as wealth grows, power swells, and achievements accumulate, jealousy nearby rises accordingly. Once this discord reaches a certain level, even a small external force can trigger an explosion with disastrous consequences.

“Mr. Wang, your vegetables are excellent, and the flavor is very pure...” Jason said with a thumbs-up as he ate. Americans aren’t averse to raw food; for nutrition, they gladly eat raw fruits and vegetables.
