29. The Male Supporting Character in Show Business

At this moment, Mu Zuo, covered in blood, arrived with Emperor Xueming. The two of them had joined the fray upon witnessing the army of beasts and birds crushing the monster horde, fighting valiantly.

Shangguan Wan'er’s whip lashed out repeatedly, yet she grew increasingly irritated as Ling Xuan dodged every single strike.

The market offered homespun cloth woven by local farmers. The colors were limited to blue and black, but it was suitable for bed sheets and covers—thick and durable. Its only drawback was that it faded severely, as homemade dyeing lacked the precision of machine processing, yet it was cheap and required no ration coupons.

Duan Ran did not offer a direct retort, but his expression was more humiliating than the sharpest of verbal rebuttals.

Under this immense pressure, the disdain in the eyes of the Fire Kirin Colt vanished, replaced by awe. Simultaneously, its body, previously buckling under the gravity, began to tremble.

The spirit of the malevolent specter was already extremely weak. Its shrill laughter grew faint, dissipating almost as soon as it escaped its lips.

When Lin Weimin hurried back to the Lin family home on the hillside, he found the chickens, ducks, and pigs gone. He felt a sense of relief, thinking his older children, Lin Qiang and Lin Hong, were quite capable for having sold the livestock themselves.

"Gu Yansheng and his disciples are all subordinates of Crown Prince Li Jiancheng. That is why you have always said their mistake was choosing the wrong master. As for Abbot Bianzhen and Uncle Shijian—no, perhaps it is better to call him Yan Xingyun—their righteous cause is to oppose the current Emperor, or perhaps, it would be best if they could take his life."

Hearing their conversation, Murong Yiyi’s expression turned unnatural, and the next moment, it became indifferent.

The elderly man in the Tang suit wielded a magic-grade Breeze Sword. With a flash of blade light, he hacked at the heads of the Yamata no Orochi. Sparks flew as the steel clashed, accompanied by the scent of blood permeating the air.

This was the most expensive district, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. Every villa commanded a sky-high price, yet demand still outstripped supply.

Just then, faint Japanese music drifted from the neighboring room—if one listened closely, it was the flute melody of "Northern Spring."

The car drove off, but not toward the Presidential Palace. Han Ximing naturally owned many private properties.

The luxurious mansion bore a plaque with the words "Jing Garden" written in elegant calligraphy. She carried her luggage inside only to find the place deserted. Helan Jin went upstairs, chose a room, and crawled into bed after a bath.

Li Jinglan was left bewildered, but recalling the old man’s raspy behavior from the night before, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This gave him a foreboding feeling, and he immediately thought of his parents; once this thought took root, it became impossible to shake.

Damn it, do you know how terrifying it is to be stared at intently by an evil ghost, as if you are about to become its next meal?

This was why he kept emphasizing that no more blood should be drawn, for if her condition worsened, Mu Wan would face not just "symptoms," but a terminal illness that could claim her life at any moment.

A figure lay on the sofa. Although she couldn't see the face from her angle, the clothing was identical to what Helan Ya had been wearing when she left the film set.

The three hundred and thirty-six people who had successfully extracted the essence of the materials had not yet technically passed the first round of the competition.

For the rest of the time, Yue Linglong vividly and enthusiastically recounted the love story between Ouyang Nantian and Yue Qingying.

Lu Kejin was the leader of the Guo family’s Hidden Dragon Guards. Although he was only at the "half-step Void Realm," his actual combat strength rivaled that of a top-tier early-stage Void Realm expert.

The traditions of tomb raiding had evolved; the world knew that the Mo Jin clan used talismans, the Fa Qiu clan used seals, the Ban Shan clan used techniques, and the Xie Ling clan used armor.

Young Master Bai had no desire to punish them, but without law, there was no order—and what would happen then?

"Exactly, exactly. If you lose your life, won't Tang Jiayi be taken by someone else later?" Huang Kai chimed in from the side, goading him. The two acted as if they were genuinely concerned about Gao Yuanming’s future.

"Since the Taibai Jinxing is dissatisfied with the price I proposed, I will tell you the reason for my price increase," Zhang Yi said calmly.

"No, our Tianshui Star is mostly ocean. Most areas with abundant vital energy are islands surrounded by water on all sides. The environment is harsh, and the unique geological conditions are unsuitable for building Sky Iron," Shangguan Long shook his head, briefly introducing the geology of Tianyue Star to the group.

At this mention, Wei Jie realized he hadn't seen Duanmu He, and Liu Muzhi and the others shook their heads, indicating they were unaware of his whereabouts.

"Good, chase him! Lu Ming cannot escape!" The eldest brother’s face lit up with joy, and he led the four men to continue their pursuit of Song Ming.

Upon arriving at the Demon City, Luo Yunxi disembarked from the carriage with the others and was led to a designated area.

"Susu, why are you so worried? Perhaps Long Ziyan will come to school this afternoon," Mu Wei said, thinking her friend was worrying over nothing.

"What does it matter if you aren't tall? It's only a problem if one’s intelligence is the real shortcoming." Looking at Mu Yunmo, Mu Yunqing’s eyes sparkled with mischievous light.

It was said that those who worked as clerks in the supply and marketing cooperatives all had connections, as the pay was high and the prestige was comparable to that of doctors or drivers. The first floor of the cooperative sold groceries, while the second floor sold daily necessities and fabrics.

The servants in the back dared not take a single step forward, fearing that the furious Prince Xuan would vent his anger on them.

Even though the chicken leg was incredibly spicy and she could barely handle it, Gu Ye did not show any reaction on her face.

In the eyes of Elder Jiang, the enthusiasm shown toward his son-in-law and brother-in-law was truly enough to make him want to cover his face in embarrassment.

Shangguan Xiu saw her eyes were red, and thinking of how she had rushed over while pregnant, his heart tightened.

The two men were fierce-looking and burly, their faces twisted with smugness and malice, though they were wearing nothing but their underwear.

"Are you looking for this?" Yang Meishan stepped around the debris, walked over to Bai Zidong, bent down to pick up a pair of glasses, wiped them with a handkerchief, and handed them over.

Uh... it seemed Chen Yu was quite self-aware and didn't boast about being the best. However, while the world of assassins was novel, it wasn't enough to pique his curiosity. Besides, Chen Yu was currently bogged down by worldly affairs and couldn't afford to invite more trouble.
