Chapter 39: What Kind of President Zheng Is This?

"Not bad at all, this car is truly impressive."

"Once our company turns a profit, I’ll grit my teeth and buy one myself, no matter what."

"There’s no need for that. With President Chen’s capability, at most two years, or perhaps just half a year, buying a car like this will be effortless."

"President Zheng, you are far too kind with your flattery, haha. With your own strength, you could probably afford ten, couldn't you?"

This remark, seemingly a compliment, was in fact a probe.

"Not at all, President Chen, you jest. I was just acting on a whim..."

Mo Chen felt a deep sense of regret, wondering why he had been so bewitched as to run out here and act as a "laborer." He understood Fan Tong even less; despite Aunt Feng having running water at home, she insisted on having him wait on her.

Reflecting on how the members of the Bai family had all addressed Yang Yi as "Grandmaster" today, he found himself even more bewildered.

If the gods and Buddhas of the heavens were here to see this illusory portal, they would surely be dumbfounded, their eyes popping out in shock.

The hall was filled with the fragrance of flowers, refreshing the spirit. Compared to every palace they had traversed before, this place was simply paradise. Even in the world they originally inhabited, it would be rare to find scenery that could compare to this.

"Thank you, Aunt Lian." Lin Lan reached out to take the clothes, her head lowered, her eyes darting in panic, not daring to look up into Chen Cuilian’s eyes.

"The law? Hah!" Black Tiger reacted as if he had heard a hilarious joke, and the three men behind him erupted into laughter.

Over the years, the Master of Dream Butterfly Valley had been trying to break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Venerate Profound Jade. Unfortunately, although both were at the realm of the Immortal Body, the Heavenly Venerate had attained it long before her. Furthermore, this was the Yuxiao Palace, the Heavenly Venerate’s own domain, which allowed him to successfully suppress her.

"I have already called the police!" Yang Jue said indifferently to the crowd before turning to leave. It wasn't as if the list lacked wealthy heirs or the children of officials, but those with poor character were excluded. He wanted to ensure this first event was a success, aiming for a seventy percent success rate in pairings, with at least half eventually becoming partners.

Mo Chen felt the trepidation of a thief. He pushed open the door to his parents' room, then suddenly hesitated.

They knew that when these people saw the Wuling Hongguang ramming the Bugatti on the real-time monitor just moments ago, their hearts had been wildly excited. Their admiration for the owner of that car was like the endless waters of the Yellow River.

The five brothers of the Power Clan restrained the limbs and tail, while Tireya used her Purifying Light Violet Thunder to desperately paralyze the beast. Victor and Xue Lian bombarded the giant tiger’s mind with soul power, and Keler used vines to bind its entire body.

He gritted his teeth and raised his sword to meet the impact. His strength was indeed formidable; he managed to withstand such a terrifying force head-on, causing the ground beneath his feet to explode into a massive crater.

With such an advantage, wandering ghosts might be manageable, but malevolent spirits were more excited by the prospect of a ghost marriage than a starving dog was by braised pork.

Watching his back, my heart twitched violently. Indeed, if someone could hold back Zheng Qingyuan, the power of the entire "Thousand Ghost Devouring Spirit Array" would be drastically reduced.

Could it be that the opponent had employed some extraordinary secret technique to make them all hallucinate?

A crater one hundred meters in diameter and two meters deep appeared where the Pangolin Beast had been. The creature lay in the center, gasping its last breath, its thick armor covered in wounds from the attacks.

Old Ancestor Evil Moon was not faring well either; using this demonic artifact came at a great cost.

Meanwhile, the six generals each unleashed their own techniques, a violent surge of true qi rushing toward Wu Tian, while the hurricane formed by Wu Tian’s own true qi swept out to meet them.

"Boss, the gates of New Leaf City must be heavily guarded now. Where should we go?" Niu Wuji asked as they fled.

Lin Tian nodded slightly. Forget fifteen days; he only needed one day to find Sha Tianrui.

These words caused Wang Hao’s expression to change once more, and prompted Tai Youqian and the others to instinctively tense their bodies, preparing to resist.

Five days ago was the very day Wang Hao and Zhou Shan had comprehended the Heavenly Dao! On that day, as the actual controller of the sect, how could Wang Hao not have felt the convergence of the sect’s fortune?

Zhou Wanrou felt a chill on her forehead and looked up to see Lu Henchuang with unfocused eyes and a pale face—the telltale signs of mental exhaustion.

He called it "good for the body," but could the sly smile he saw on the Princess’s face earlier have been fake? Was it not just to watch the Prince suffer?

She was aware of Hoshino Yui practicing kendo, and while she couldn't understand it, she didn't pass judgment.

Now that the Hundred Flowers Bank was closed, this one-million spirit stone card must have been withdrawn from there.

Yun Li allowed the Empress to humiliate him, secretly accumulating power for ten years, waiting for the day he could break free from her shackles.

By the time the chicken and duck vendor finally hauled up a dozen cages, the ox cart was already packed to the brim.

He had successfully lured them in and was just about to brag a bit before taking them away, when, heaven knows where those two unlucky brats popped out from, completely ruining his plans.

Duan Yu was stunned for a moment. Thinking he wasn't the one being called, he remained silent, hiding within the Garment of the Thunder Realm where he was invisible to others.

"Qingsi! My dear sister, I’ve missed you so much!" Mu Xuanyin embraced her tightly, tears of excitement streaming down her face.

Yet, he could not bring himself to believe that this was Wang Gongnan’s true ability. As a cultivator who had just broken through to the Upper Realm, Wang Gongnan stood before him like someone who had just cultivated true qi standing before a Heavenly Martial Master. He truly didn't need any martial techniques; a simple breath could have shattered Wang Gongnan to death.

This vine was not lush; its stalks were thin, its leaves sparse and fine, and its color appeared withered with age.

"If he really dares to fight, we can take this opportunity to eliminate him. When the time comes, we will send out a Great Being to challenge him, and we will surely behead him. This won't count as breaking the rules, and the Immortal Emperors won't dare to move against us," Qi Shang said to the King of Beiling, looking as though everything were under his control.

Duan Yu’s final trump card was the Heaven-Refining Map. Even if he were left with no strength to bind a chicken, as long as he hid inside the Heaven-Refining Map—where he could eat, drink, and cultivate slowly—he would have nothing to fear. However, this was his last resort; unless absolutely necessary, the Devouring Beast and the Heaven-Refining Map must not be revealed.

"Heh, that’s not necessarily true. But rest assured, with our cultivation levels, it’s hard for us to be moved by ordinary treasures. But if there really is something good, it wouldn't be bad to take it back to our families for our descendants to use," said the man with the fleshy bumps on his face with a smile.
