Chapter 44: Courtesies Between Close Relatives

Swallowing the cool and sweet saliva in her mouth, Yi Rongkun carefully recalled the reward her teacher had given her after studying in her dream last night.

She remembered now; the teacher had rewarded her with a recipe. At the time, seeing that it wasn't something to eat, she hadn't paid much attention to it.

Thinking about it now, wasn't that simply a recipe for making various kinds of candies?

There were even several varieties, only she hadn't listened too carefully back then.

Thus, she asked the system: "Tubby, are you saying that the teacher..."

If Song Yue's words were to spread, what would happen if people heard them and decided not to come and trade anymore? Or if it caused other merchants to harbor resentment against them, how massive of a loss would that incur?

The next second, a grey figure appeared in the courtyard. The newcomer was a white-haired elder over seventy years old, the wrinkles on his face resembling the bark of a withered pine tree, save for a pair of exceptionally piercing eyes that looked like those of a hawk.

Because the other person was showing half his profile, Fang Yi could not see him very clearly for a moment, yet he had a lingering sense of déjà vu.

Especially when she realized that Fang Yi had made such a long preamble precisely to help her, she blinked playfully at Fang Yi with profound gratitude.

Whether it was students going to serve as unpaid labor or classmates who had nothing better to do on ordinary days, all of them went along to join the excitement.

Witnessing the true might of a fifth-tier Immortal Emperor at this moment, Mu Xifeng held nothing back, igniting the final drop of Heaven-Opening Blood while simultaneously reaching back with a massive hand to grip the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.

Seeing this, Madam Qin had no choice but to make the trip. Fortunately, it was currently afternoon, and there weren't many guests in the shop. Mother Luo and the others also told her to set her mind at ease and just go out.

Once the divine pet was unleashed, Zhantian's pressure immediately plummeted drastically as the divine pet, the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf, swallowed the dual energies of ice and fire surrounding Zhantian into its belly.

Cultivating this evil technique required neither the consumption of the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth nor the absorption of the essence of the sun and moon; what it demanded was human nature.

Xiao Ke even harbored a faint suspicion that his excessive concern for Xue Tingfang might stem from the existence of a slight Oedipus complex deep within his heart.

Just as Yan Qing's complexion froze in a shifting palette of pale, ashen, and dark, and Yu Xi buried her head to count the grains of porridge in her bowl, Ding Han strode with casual elegance toward this corner table.

At this, the burly man with a fierce look waved his hand abruptly, and the remaining ten fellows behind him each brandished the weapons they had brought along.

Perhaps all the combat strength in the stronghold had gone to deal with Guan Yun, as Yu Xi's journey all the way here was smooth and uneventful. From afar, she saw Yan Qing sitting with her back pressed against the cage, showing not the slightest bit of tension about being locked up.

Unbeknownst to Xiao Ke, the black mist began to further remold his body, a process that lasted for more than two full days, right until the late night of the third day, when Xiao Ke finally emerged from his deep slumber.

Yu Xi's face darkened slightly as she thought to herself that this thief's martial prowess was truly formidable, managing to enter the room without her even noticing.

"No time." Xing Tian gazed at the earthy-yellow Primordial Earth Source, a trace of fanaticism flickering in his eyes.

"Die!" Xing Zhen exerted a burst of internal force, and Ice Red Tea's neck snapped instantly. With a gentle yet forceful push, the body was once again cast into the endless magma, being instantly swallowed up.

If she had remembered Cave Dwelling Number Seventeen earlier because of Fang Baiyu, then now there was an additional pair of crimson eyes, along with a figure capable of shattering the dream space and suppressing the demonic nature of the nightmare.

Power!! At this very moment, it erupted to the fullest. This was the strength that the black rain had bestowed upon him—the potential hidden deep within his body.

"Fine, go if you want to. I can't stop you anyway." Lu Yiming pulled open the wooden door and walked out.

"Are there fierce beasts with such peculiar toxins even in Tonglu Mountain?" Fu Chuan felt a trace of anxiety. Having checked a great deal of information before coming, although she knew Tonglu Mountain was perilous, she had only paid attention to the Aoyin and the Dwarf race, never imagining the existence of such beasts.

Wei Mingtang casually picked up a kettle to water the flowers, lowering her gaze to think: one was deflecting trouble onto others, while the other was killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

"Grandmother, why don't I take a leave of absence to take care of you?" Wealth could never be completely exhausted anyway, and if Grandmother were to suffer any misfortune because of this, Lin Xi felt she would regret it for the rest of her life.
