Chapter 57: Two Ideas

Xu Shuyun was extremely cautious. The price quoted by Zheng Qian was simply too low—more than half lower than the average of other dockyard companies. She even suspected there was a trap in this contract.

After carefully reading through every single page of the contract brought by Zheng Qian, and finally confirming that there were no issues, she signed her name at the bottom.

During this time, Li Tao kept tugging at the corner of Zheng Qian's clothes, trying to warn him, but Zheng Qian completely ignored it.

Now they were really done for. If...

"How much in total? Including these two returnees." Wang Zhenyu paid the bill while deliberately trying to provoke someone.

I was still immersed in the Chairman's last sentence. Was that a hint? Or just a casual greeting? In any case, it seemed the Chairman had sensed something.

"Damn it, although fifty Ginns do not pose a fatal threat to the Archangel, they are still quite dangerous." I turned my head and found Lacus looking at me with a somewhat hesitant gaze.

"Are you Chinese?" I asked him in astonishment, noticing his yellow skin and black hair just like mine.

Let's set that aside. As luck would have it, Meiling's parents happened to be first cousins. Consequently, the girl was born with rather low intelligence.

The tung oil business was currently monopolized by four major families: the Zhangs, Zhus, Liangs, and Lius. Among them, the Zhang and Zhu families originally came from Jiangxi and Anhui respectively and were not locals, but having rooted themselves in Hongjiang for decades, they had become influential major families capable of impacting the entire western Hunan region.

Although Madam Ding did not quite understand why the two midwives had not implicated her, she felt an immense wave of relief in her heart at this moment.

Since her words carried no weight, following the flow was simply the best course of action—this was also one of Wang Zhenyu's life creeds from his later life.

"Wait for a moment, I..." Bei Mang said. A flash of light crossed Luo Chen's eyes upon hearing this, only to dim down immediately afterwards.

When Lu Shuxia channeled over thirty years of bitter cultivation of dantian internal strength along his governor and conception vessels right up to the protruding middle knuckle of his fist, it was no longer a fist of flesh and blood, but rather a cannonball leaving the barrel, producing a piercing sound that shattered walls and tore through barriers, invincible in its path.

"Get ready!" With a wave of Qi He's right hand, the formation arranged by the arriving Hidden God disciples slowly began to operate.

"It really hurts, huh?" Gu Yu said in an icy voice as he leaped backward. Right before him was Leng Feng, the assassin clad in pitch-black leather armor.

Jiuhuang trembled all over. This single sentence struck directly at the softest part of her heart, giving voice to the secret she had hidden deep within for so many years.

Although that was what they thought, achieving it was exceedingly difficult. After all, the strength of a Monarch was terrifying, and given their current mental state, resisting was still exceptionally challenging.

"Manager, did you get hurt again?" Li Shuang immediately understood the intent behind Jing Moxuan's words.

After Mu Kun finished speaking, the commoners gradually quieted down, waiting for him to continue.

Ever since that severe illness, Yu Xinyuan's physical condition had deteriorated drastically. Coupled with his overwhelming grief, after burning those items, he suddenly felt lightheaded with blurred vision.

The US military's supremacy in firepower was demonstrated once again. Shell after shell from the mountain artillery rained down on the water tower, sending shattered bricks and stones flying in all directions until it collapsed with a loud crash.

Sequencers possessed exceptionally high standards. This examiner did not believe that any trainee in the current cohort could attract Yu Tian's special attention.

Lin Yun was now a powerhouse at the Dragon Battle Saint level, and given the special nature of the Purgatory Blood Bat, it should have already advanced to a Dragon Battle King. How could it still be unable to speak, or even transform into human form without any problem?

Therefore, naturally, the only possibility of becoming a Prince of the Ao Empire rested upon Tixina.

Wuyan gave a hollow laugh and couldn't help shouting excitedly, "Boss! That's my boss! Good fortune is coming!" With that, Wuyan took a hop and leaped forward with a bang, only to be sent flying several yards away by Lei Li's boundary force.

"Master Offering and Poison Master have administered 'Paradise One-Day Drunk' to Ninger," she said with a pitiful air, as if she were in mortal peril.

The Illusion King looked at me with benevolent affection, as if looking at his own children and grandchildren. Seeing the hand he extended toward me, I couldn't help nodding and gently closed my eyes.

Unifying the Capital of Depravity—was that even possible? If the Capital of Depravity were so easy to unify, why had no one ever managed to do it after all these years? To put it simply, even the Holy See was unwilling to give up such a lucrative cake.

Even Wang Siyong's brows furrowed. He hadn't expected that someone else stood behind Chengcheng. Wasn't it said that this person no longer concerned himself with such matters? Then why had he shown up today?

The inn would not close until midnight. Tian Jiantian sat at the entrance, resentfully staring at the pedestrians passing by on the street one after another, yet not a single one showed any intention of stepping into the inn. However, the innkeeper had given strict instructions that the door must remain open until the third watch before locking up. Yet by this time, old man Wei the innkeeper must have already fallen asleep, right?

Lei Li watched as the chaos before him was gradually smoothed away by the night breeze, and a thoroughly disheveled figure appeared within his line of sight.

Jiang Guangrong quietly concealed the dagger in the pocket of his right sleeve, took the money from Zhao Junhai with his left hand, and then pushed open the door to enter the pharmacy.

Seeing his smile, Xu Tao'er couldn't help letting out a chuckle, and acting on impulse, she leaned in and kissed him once again.

Feng Qianli smiled and said, "It's fine. You trust me so much. Rest assured, with me, Feng Qianli, here, this matter will definitely succeed. Besides, Qianli isn't doing this just for you, but for the common people!" Feng Qianqi nodded in satisfaction. Shortly after, Feng Qianli left the manor and headed toward the dungeon.

"Didn't you all say that the enemy had truly retreated in defeat? You even claimed they fled in panic. Then why are there ambushed enemies inside the city, and why are enemies attacking from outside the city as well? Aren't you sorcerers? Don't your senses operate much more accurately than mine?" Duan Changce raged in anger.

Zhong Wuhen glanced at the five white apes. "Very well, are there any questions left?" Zhong Wuhen's meaning was crystal clear: if there were no further questions, they could begin extracting the bloodline. However, these ancient apes had lived for a very long time, so naturally, they would not easily let such an opportunity slip by.

Well, there was no way Tian Guihual could actually catch anyone; she had simply tripped while giving chase, and the young boy had kindly stepped forward to support her, at which point she grabbed hold of him and refused to let go.

After Wudi levitated above the house where Shedepan supposedly stored his gold and silver, he gradually descended and landed softly on the roof. Then, Wudi evenly poured two barrels of oil over the roof.

If it weren't for his handsome appearance, back when he first transformed into human form, he would have been captured and nearly made into a kept boytoy.

Liao Yiguang was the head of the household. Although the mother usually made the decisions in the family and he typically followed her arrangements, when major issues arose, the father still had the final say.

For instance, deploying the grand formation could fuse the power of heaven and earth, and at the present stage, Yun Xing happened to possess three major divine fires. Alternatively, once the formation was formed, a divine statue would condense within it, and this statue would require the infusion of certain sacred forces—at which point the Holy Artifact of the Flame Emperor would come in handy.
