Chapter 37: Intoxication

Qiao Erliang leaned his head back against the grotto wall, gasping for air, his expression a mixture of exhaustion and terror, as if he had just escaped death.

Upon hearing the reply, Zhou Mei’s expression grew even more awkward than before. Since her husband had spoken this way, it was clear that the Hu Tu of today was truly different from the man he once was.

Yet now that he had become a wealthy man himself, he found that he was no longer repulsed by such phenomena at all.

When the wife of the Marquis of Pingwu celebrated her child’s "third-day" ceremony, no invitations were sent out, yet the noble families of the capital took the initiative to visit and offer their congratulations with generous gifts.

"Xue Po, don't you think there is something very wrong with this City Lord?" Xie Wuhuan asked once everyone had left.

As for playing the role of her boyfriend to meet her father, Hu Tu did not mind it much; after all, he had taken her virginity not long ago.

For instance, the three elderly men sitting with Zhou Bingyun were Zhang Songyan, the president of the Alchemist Association of the Qinwu Commandery, along with two of the association’s elders.

Upon seeing the true culprit, Jian Wendao was so shocked he could not close his mouth. The person dragging the corpse was actually—Xiu??

Having experienced darkness and loss, Lash understood even more clearly how precious this opportunity was; he looked up at Ben and nodded solemnly.

As he spoke, Huang Junzi reached into his pocket, pulled out half an incense stick, and offered it to the group.

When Luo Lin was collecting the medicinal garden and various daily necessities from the Martial God Tower, he had partitioned off half of his undead space to store these items.

He could not master his own fate simply because he was not yet powerful enough. If he were strong enough, then what would fate matter?

We all knew there was no need to stay. None of us really wanted to come for a drink, and if we ran into Xu Linghua later, it would surely lead to trouble. Moreover, time was tight; Xu Dong said it would be within the next two or three days, and we did not want to lose this chance.

Mu Yun refined the starlight energy one by one and channeled it into every part of his body.

They became upright citizens, and the Nanhua government granted them the same treatment as domestic compatriots, allowing them to conduct business and farm within Nanhua territory without restrictions, while even providing numerous incentives.

At this moment, directly ahead, Great Elder Leng Hong sat in the center, wearing his signature kindly smile as he gazed from afar at Mu Yun.

Such behavior made Ye Yian feel a tightening in her chest, but she did not stop for a single step. Whatever madness had gripped her, she would get out first and worry about it later.

Currently, three-quarters of those U.S. treasury bonds were still being held; they could not be sold for the moment, and mortgaging them to a bank would be too great a loss. It was better to wait another two months—by then, these items would be valuable, and wouldn't the American public be buying them frantically?

However, in response to the inquiries of his two old rivals, Cassino and Donald, Thomas uttered a remark that made them both roll their eyes in frustration.

Amon was lying on the soft sofa, refusing to get up, and upon hearing Wolf’s words, showed no respect for Dragon.

In a very short time, Shunfeng Express could potentially become a terrifying monopoly on par with Tiandao Entertainment. Backed by Tiandao Entertainment and its official connections, what private force would dare to contend with them?

It was her day off, so she did nothing; she simply sat in Tang Mo’s room, lost in thought for the entire day.

Without a word, Mo Yuna threw a magic orb mixed with smoke and dust downward, letting 'Cannon' have a good fill.

Wang Nian finally nodded and let go of Li Xiuying’s hand. Once Li Xiuying left and only the couple remained in the room, Chen Xu sat down beside Wang Nian and gently pulled her into his arms.

A chill ran down her spine; she found Qin Shanshan terrifying and, in her fear, stopped taking pictures and left with her child.

This pair of mistress and servant was also somewhat strange. Song Jiu took care of her with meticulous detail, while Yang Xianrong seemed accustomed to it, her every gesture revealing the air of a noble lady.

Although Li Meiling had cut ties with her father-in-law over the years, the old man was soft-hearted after all. Whenever he heard news about her, he would always fall silent. After all, they had lived together for so many years, though his feelings were likely more of disappointment.

Huang Ximei cooked dinner. The staple food was white rice mixed with an equal portion of yellow millet. Li Xiuying had intended to stir-fry the cabbage, but she had Huang Ximei cut it up and stew it with potatoes, resulting in a large basin of soup and vegetables.

As for why he knew those things were edible... ahem, naturally, he had eaten them before. He deeply suspected that his compatibility with Nefarian’s body was partly due to those things. Besides, the journey had been quite boring, and fishing was a way to pass the time, wasn't it?

Lin Feng stowed Mei Ji into the Hongmeng Golden Palace and began to teleport toward the gateway leading to the Xuansheng Continent. Lin Feng was very confident now—so what if the four great families were involved? He had already wiped out six of their Great Sages.

This Soul Dream space was extremely strange. Although it was daytime, there was no sun, and a dim hue shrouded the four horizons. Suddenly, bits of starlight spilled down from the top of this peculiar sky without warning, and stars began to squeeze out one after another.

"Hu Lan stepped forward and flipped Lei Hai to the ground with a shoulder throw." You all don't want to go, right?

The engine's cylinders shook continuously, emitting a rumbling roar. A smell of gasoline wafted from the exhaust port of the V12 engine. After running for a while, Fan Jindong shut it off.

Caster pretended not to hear and said to Bai Qingyan with a grin: "The most important thing between people is communication. I will answer your question: even if my weakness is known and I fail in battle, I don't care about any of that."

"Kajulong, the boss of the Stannos Federal weapons company! He gave me the funds to recruit a large group of outlaws, then sent warships to help me train my men in how to fight."

"The Fengtian treasury is tight right now, losing nearly two million taels of silver every year. Does the Governor really intend to support so many troops?" Jiang Fangzhen asked. He did not yet know how capable Ye Zhong was at fighting, but his ability to demand money was first-class.

In comparison, the foundation here in China was not only solid but also felt more grounded.
