Volume One, Chapter 51: I Am the Capital Magnate 5

“How do you expect our entire family to survive?”

Seeing this scene, Lu Hong immediately realized there must be news about Lu Xianger. Yet they wouldn’t tell him, which meant the situation was likely dire. The more Lu Hong thought about it, the more anxious he became, but he could do nothing but lie in bed and wait for news.

Huo Qingqing had spent considerable time with the Fourth Prince and understood well the pervasive mistrust within the royal family. The emperor, still in his prime, naturally did not want his sons mingling too closely with his ministers. It was not unusual for someone to be sent to summon the Fourth Prince back to the capital.

The Red Child had been holding back for a long time. Upon hearing Tiansheng’s words, he burst into a sinister laugh, a red mist rising from his body as he shot like an arrow toward the Gu Demon Sect’s buildings.

Since the opening of the Underworld, many players had stationed themselves there, such as the Dusk Underworld Guild and the Piggy Alliance Army Guild. The Underworld was another realm for players, featuring a town called Ghost City. Though not comparable to Vermilion Bird City, it still served as a vital supply point.

Yang Bin instinctively tried to use the bullet-dodging technique, but when it proved ineffective, he realized this was only a clone. At that moment, a pebble struck his head, followed by a chair crashing onto his back, causing him to bleed and stagger, nearly falling to the ground.

Zhao Dingguo glanced at the respawn timer in the upper right corner and shouted over the voice channel, signaling an immediate attack.

“Fine skills indeed. Truly, there are always stronger hands beyond the strong. This time, I’ve opened my eyes,” Qin Feng applauded with admiration.

Feng Jie was responsible for the western route, starting from Panyu, connecting the districts of Guilin County, Bushan, and the two counties of Zhongliu, then all the way to Linchen, the seat of Xiang County. If Meng Kuo had already mapped the western part of Xiang County by then, Feng Jie’s road would continue westward, stretching ever further.

Startled by Tang Youyou’s scream, I turned to look. She was crouched amid the frozen dragon’s corpse, holding two stones as transparent and luminous as pebbles, resembling millennia-old ice.

“Chao Xia, do you think they really will...” Lu Xianger’s eyes widened in disbelief. But recalling the dark truths she had learned, it was indeed possible. For a moment, she was at a loss for words.

She also trusted that Mo Yinchuan was a man of his word. He wanted their two household registrations linked together, and now Jiang Tiantian knew she was no match for him.

The young man’s expression darkened noticeably when he saw Jiang Fan sitting beside Ye Qingrou, clearly displeased.

This was one reason she particularly disliked her—Yun Shao always dressed flamboyantly, as if to proclaim to the world that she was Qi Yan’s wife.

Meanwhile, the narrative interwove introductions about pioneering domestic entrepreneurs who had begun exploring and innovating business models.

Thinking of the Ling family’s seven sisters, with their radiant beauty and alluring figures, he smiled smugly, his mind filled with vivid fantasies.

Yun Shao blinked, her bright, moist apricot eyes sparkling with innocence and mischief as she gazed at the handsome, inscrutable face before her.

Because he had previously sung this song in front of classmates, Chen Fan had to release it first to avoid exposure.

“You might fool a few lecherous old men, but don’t think you can deceive all of us. We’re not that gullible!” Fang Minyi’s tone grew sterner, sending chills down one’s spine.
