Chapter 123: Crocodile Tears! Director Zheng Pays a Visit!

Faced with Ma Weidong’s words, Ma Yulian’s gaze flickered. It seemed she was making a difficult decision in her heart—whether to carry out justice even against her own kin, or otherwise.

“Yes, exactly, it’s a combination of a bow and a hidden sleeve arrow. I call it a crossbow. Among the remnants of the State of Ba, similar devices were used before. Its range is farther than that of an ordinary bow, but it cannot shoot continuously.

The only thing you have to give up is ten or twenty percent of the profits, and at the same time, you save yourself the trouble of running the business.

Lu Xiao understood what he meant. Once the heart is tainted, inner demons will grow. For men of principle like Cheng Xukong, cultivation will stagnate from now on, for if they force themselves to advance, they will inevitably face backlash from those heart demons, leading to even greater calamity.

When the man drew near enough, Chu Chen timed his strike, poured his spiritual power into the weapon, and instantly activated the ‘Soul-chasing Needle’. The distance was so close that the man had no time to react before the needle struck him, damaging his heart meridian on the spot due to the power of the artifact.

“Where is there a tomb with such rich burial goods? Tell me, will you? This wasn’t theft or robbery. We were searching for clues on the mountain when my cat found a cave and led us there.

Thus they left traces of their Dao, which, even after thousands of years, had not dissipated. This left Qin Yu in awe—Immortals, truly the most powerful beings in this world, had already gained mastery over time itself.

Beside him, Taotie glared furiously at Ye Jun. It was clearly this fellow’s fault for not finding the proper entrance to the Western Kunlun Mountains, causing him to climb straight up.

An Qian’s heart trembled. There was not the slightest hint of enchantment in those deep eyes; in just a second, surprise turned into profound disgust.

Mo Wenhan’s gaze was icy as he stared at the receding figures of Long Qingtian and his companion, his whole body shaking with rage.

Lu Xiao was secretly alarmed. He couldn’t fathom what that bone blade was made of, that it could go toe-to-toe with an innate spiritual treasure.

But then, looking at the token in his hand, he hesitated. If the two guests upstairs were truly of noble status, his behavior might earn him even harsher punishment from the manager.

A single drop of blood that Teng Yun had touched transformed in midair into a hideous shadow, its form shifting and indistinct, terrifying to behold.

All the former partners had called to inquire, each hoping to buy in, but he flatly refused them all.

Fei Zhuohan couldn’t understand why such thoughts would arise in her mind. Rising up through physical means was something she had never considered, yet lately, whenever she thought of Ning Fuchen, such ideas would surface.

“You’re amazing. How about you go up and play the zither?” After a moment’s daze, Xiao Tangtang raised his thumb in approval.

Chenfeng let out a bitter laugh. After all the arguing, the problem was still unresolved, and the situation had only grown messier. Still, at least he’d had his fill of scolding, berating each of them in turn.

In medicine, although diseases are sometimes classified by grade, this is mostly the practice of certain individuals or organizations. There is not yet a unified system for disease classification in this world.

Chenfeng was conducting research at the children’s hospital, having had pleasant conversations with Cai Chengren these past two days. Meanwhile, he was completely unaware of the brewing storm. He was waiting for Lin Wei to retaliate, but Lin Wei had been too busy lately to bother with him.

“So what do you think?” That single word “you” clearly expressed Nangong Tian’s dissatisfaction. Yet whether the minister failed to understand or merely pretended not to was anyone’s guess.

When I spoke out directly, and in front of so many people, some began to murmur. Some accused me of showing off, others said I was being disrespectful. After all, so many people were waiting in line just for a taste of that wine.
