Chapter 49: Refugees

The chaotic scramble to buy goods was something the Cheng family had never witnessed before.

In two words: fierce and relentless!

“Hey, hey, who’s pinching me! If you want to buy something, just buy it, why pinch people?”

“Don’t pull down my pants!”

“My shoe, it got stepped on!”

Amid the uproar, the confusion, and the frantic noise, none of it disturbed Su Li, who was calmly purchasing items ahead of the crowd.

Others didn’t know that today was the day to buy ticket-free thermal underwear.

And judging by the sheer force behind those fists, they were lethal—like hailstones falling from the sky, capable of crushing a person to death. The giant fists before them were no less formidable.

Upon entering the courtyard, they discovered it held a world of its own. A single courtyard was divided by layered formations into isolated spaces that could each accommodate over a hundred people. No wonder the owner of the closed establishment had placed them here.

Thus, Murong Chuqing was not only a spiritual cultivation cripple but also utterly useless in every other respect.

Waves of spiritual energy formed behind Rui Jun out of thin air. As the waves surged, the sound of rushing water echoed, making one question whether the towering wave was truly spiritual energy or an actual physical force.

Through the spiritual mirror, Nangong Yehua witnessed everything happening inside the Murong residence and couldn’t help but smile.

Yu Ji blinked groggily, staring at the large ceiling fan swaying above the white ceiling, momentarily unable to recall where she was.

“Who needs your filthy smoke? I hate city folk like you the most, always flaunting your dirty money and acting high and mighty!” A fool smashed my pack of Red Golden Dragon cigarettes onto the ground.

A golden light gleamed from Luo Chen’s brow, and a short, golden immortal sword flew out, radiating immortal divine brilliance, slashing downwards to sever the divine order’s celestial chains.

He spoke at length, but Yang Caidie on the bench kept her head lowered, neither responding nor looking at him, motionless as ever.

Yun Lingjing was unaware that the moment she left, Puyang Ze approached. Seeing the two disappear around the corner, he thought for a moment before following.

Hua Mingde had quietly become the de facto master of the Laizhou Prefecture’s Judicial Department. Though he lacked the official title of magistrate, his covert power rivaled any.

Unit One spoke up, its tone filled with excitement. For a former machine, the greatest joy lay in upgrading both hardware and software.

The campus forum launched a hot thread where everyone eagerly shared their SSR summons, while some posted snide remarks below.

Hearing Song Xi recount Zhou Yan’s precise cultivation strength, all those on the fifth floor of Lingyun Tower couldn’t help but show expressions of shock.

Lin Yuan quietly thought, this trip to Kulu Village must have a purpose, as he looked at the silent Mr. Hu.

The interrogation room door opened as Cang Tian and his assistant entered. Once seated, Cang Tian began the questioning.

“You’d better figure out how to deal with your family’s pressure. I have my own limits here, so don’t interfere,” Ji Yanmo said calmly.

I truly can’t imagine it—I can’t even protect my own child, yet my child is supposed to protect me?

“As long as you have food, why so many words?” Lu Tangtang nudged her with an elbow.

“If I’m not mistaken, this is my house. There’s nothing wrong with me living here, right?” Ji Yanmo glanced at him.

Suddenly, recalling the strange scene they had just witnessed, Comrade Big Gray Wolf was struck by a sudden inspiration and poked Little Gray Wolf’s side.

But Mo Yi was different—her nature was capricious and unpredictable. Yet she was generous with kindness toward those close to her. Mo Yi knew how to control and win others over through her shifting moods.

After finishing the last cup of tea, Yun Chi left the teahouse, clutching a jade flute, and began wandering through Liuguang City again. This time, however, she wasn’t aimless but consciously attentive to the legends of Nanshan.
