Volume 1, Chapter 62: That's All for Today

As these words fell, the entire venue plunged into absolute silence.

Zhan Tong and the others, along with Qian Zhong, were holding back their laughter. Even Huang Yanchen wore a somewhat peculiar expression, wondering if the young master was being a bit too arrogant. This was Jinling, after all, not Jiangnan.

"That's hilarious."
"You must be Chu Lingtian?"
"You dare to come alone to ruin Lord Qian's plans?"
"What on earth are you thinking?"
"Where do you get the courage?"

Ma Bo was the first to break the deadlock, letting out a mocking laugh.

"Why are you in such a sorry state?" Chu Lingtian ignored him, raising an eyebrow instead. Huang Yanchen's mouth was stained with grease, and her hair was somewhat disheveled, a far cry from her usual gentle and refined demeanor.

"Just now, Lord Qian offered her some skewers, but she didn't know what was good for her. I..."

She acknowledged Selala’s beauty and admitted that Selala’s fragile appearance was indeed prone to stirring up certain physical desires in men, but... she believed herself to be in no way inferior in terms of looks and figure, not to mention Pandilia, whom they had rescued in the Lelasor Mountains. So why did Xialan choose Selala instead of them?

The transcendent status of the Wang Mansion was actually famous more because of its security, which was no less formidable than that of the Garrison Command. Configured by the world's most expensive private security company, it was the envy of even American bankers during the Republic of China era, let alone the wealthy magnates of that time.

"I am not going to choke you to death! I am simply giving you a warning!" The hand Xialan had clamped around Pandilia's neck began to loosen.

Amidst Sejuani's giggling gaze, Li Yunfei reluctantly dealt with this troublesome friend, hung up the phone, and shrugged.

The same question arose in their minds, causing them to cast their gazes toward the Nether Springs of the Dead Sea, while failing to notice Ye Yiming's eyes narrowing slightly, concealing the identical flash of doubt within them.

Yet that was only human nature; in people's deeply ingrained notions, older children were always expected to yield more to their younger siblings.

Clearly, regarding the matter about Liu Yuxuan, even the most honest Pandaren had misunderstood, which could hardly be blamed on Sejuani and the others for wearing those expressions.

"What specific attempts have you made? Could you give some examples?" Gao Chuan pursued relentlessly.

With that, Hui Chengze took a deep bow toward the audience, and the audience responded with warm and enduring applause.

Clearly, Li Tai had not realized this. If there were many reasons for his failure to contend for the crown prince position, his arrogance was undoubtedly one of the most crucial ones.

Lin An and Guo Yi were momentarily stunned. Lifting their heads, when they saw Chu Feng's chiseled, intensely masculine face, their eyes filled with bitter jealousy.

Fang Xu did not mention his surname, only telling them that he was sent by the current emperor, a decision he had arrived at after careful consideration.

When he met Si Nanyu, it was already past noon. He had eaten the dry rations given by the leader in the carriage, so he was not hungry.

In that case, Fang Xu wouldn't encounter any unexpected danger, right? Such a thought was only natural for Qin Suwen to have.

Cheng Rongjian, standing nearby, saw that Jiang Yuanjin's expression did not seem feigned, and felt reassured. He increasingly felt that this youth was a person worth befriending.

After all, Sui Xiaotian had only taken one science comprehensive test; perhaps he only excelled in that single subject. There were still three more crucial exams remaining—who knew what his actual scores were like?

In truth, she had not wanted to use this to play the recording, but she had no ordinary recording stones, and using this one was a measure of last resort.

Remembering that Yan Mingjiu probably hadn't eaten dinner either, Cang Zimeng playfully leaned a bit closer to him, bringing the half-eaten chicken leg right in front of his face.

Even from the perspective of Old Wu and the others, the inside of their mouths felt completely as if it were on fire.

Therefore, regarding Jung Soo-jung's dazed reaction to the news, Park Cho-rong took it quite in stride.

The northernmost part of Poyang County was entirely covered by mountain forests. Although there were no decent official roads, dispatching three to five thousand vanguard troops to hack through mountains and bridge rivers, given some time, would still allow them to break into Poyang County.

The sun was rather fierce today, so everyone wore baseball caps. Park Cho-rong, aided by Yoon Bo-mi, brought drinks, fruits, and some snacks to those present.

Chang Qiqi wore a smiling face, but inwardly he was utterly shocked. The power of this Four Images Spirit-Entangling Array was simply too overwhelming; it had scared Grove to the point of nearly wetting himself, left Berry looking like he had been thrashed by a dozen thugs, and frightened Alfonso out of his wits.

Just as Granny Yin was about to resume her narration, someone walked through the door. It was none other than Ye Chu, who had previously hurried off in a huff and a rush to the Cold Pool Ice Cave to check on Granny Jin. Only, judging by his current expression, his mood seemed much improved—at least he was no longer as angry as before.

These creatures primarily hunted, and they revered nature far more than the elves did. As for their traits... as long as they had sufficient nourishment, these trolls with long tusks could rapidly regenerate severed limbs.

Later, Zong Xin shifted the tone of the conversation, deliberately telling Empress Xiao that Yelu Chage had drunk the blood of the Fire Kirin, intending to provoke her into subjecting Yelu Chage to a thousand cuts. Because the topic had been successfully diverted, Empress Xiao's emotions gradually subsided.

Yet now, a youth whose aura had not even broken through the Earth Realm's third tier, failing to even reach the half-step Earth Realm, possessed the capital to contend with him head-on. The trace of murderous intent deep within Nie Wencang's heart swelled uncontrollably.

Another muffled explosion burst forth, presumably the sound of the white light striking the Undead of the Niluo clan.

"It is getting late. Xiaoxiao must have been waiting for me at home for a long time," Wang Ying murmured, lifting his eyes to look at the fiery sunset blanketing the sky. A faint smile curved his lips as he strode toward his residence.

People nowadays gave gifts solely focusing on extravagance and saving face, often overlooking what the recipient actually needed. Consequently, gifts were frequently of little use.

I stared blankly at Cai Jie. At that moment, I thought he looked wildly handsome. I had imagined this would be the time I admired him the most, but I never expected that what followed would make me feel he was so handsome it brought me to tears.

Crouched by the wall near the mechanism, observing for a long time, Cheng Qianjin could not find any abnormalities. He tried pushing the wall outward in all directions—up, down, left, and right—but it remained completely unyielding, definitely not a movable wall that could roll aside.

The water-grass monster panicked; Old Huang actually dared to provoke it—this was simply intolerable. Without another word, it raised its rifle.

Gan Lu got down from the chair, slipped off her shoes, walked over to the bay window, and sat down leaning against the glass.

The subsequent rooms each held different things: some concealed weapons and ammunition, others daily necessities, and there were even stoves, water wells, a bedroom, and an empty hall. Furthermore, these rooms were exceptionally well-sealed with lime and remained very dry.

The various generals seated here were all stout fellows of the greenwoods who ate meat by the chunk and drank wine by the bowl. Asking them to kill with blades was fine, but expecting them to devise strategies—well, forget it. If everyone had that kind of capability, what would they need you, Li Mi, for? To slaughter and eat you?
