Chapter 62: Abducting a Fake, Ransoming a True One

After the blood transfusion, Long Haochen's attributes had shifted from light to darkness, but his fifth-tier cultivation remained unchanged.

To avoid arousing the Demon God Emperor's suspicion, Chen Zidian arranged for Long Haochen to drink a dose of Soul-Dispersing Powder.

Soul-Dispersing Powder was a potion that temporarily created the illusion of spiritual energy collapse, making Long Haochen appear as incapable of cultivation as Feng Yu on the surface. However, as long as the antidote was taken within half a year, his original cultivation would be fully restored.

Of course, upon seeing Xia Fan's confident expression earlier, she assumed he was going to cheat by secretly using internal energy.

Shi Zhenbang, like many compatriots, possessed an ingrained fondness for German cars. The old Santana was regarded as a legendary car in their hearts, holding a near-obsessive sentimentality toward Volkswagen that left Canghai completely at a loss for words.

Princess Huaisi could not help but feel a deep sense of guilt—she had taken the medicine prescribed by Wei Qingqing and recovered, becoming slimmer and more beautiful, yet Wei Qingqing herself had broken out in red rashes on her face from testing the medicine for her.

Ji Li had already placed his fingers on Wei Qingqing's wrist, carefully taking her pulse, but after a long and earnest examination, he could find nothing abnormal.

"Then let's see if you have what it takes!" Han Qianyu stepped forward, blocking in front of Centenarian.

Even Qian'er and the others were somewhat baffled this time; after all, apart from them, there was not a single soul around. What on earth was Chu Ze up to?

Consequently, the fierce, deadlocked battle instantly dissolved, and everyone rushed toward the spot where Liang Feng had collapsed.

Han Qianyu closed his eyes, breathing rhythmically through his nose and mouth, while using his ears to capture the sounds coming from all directions.

Liu Bo walked to the rear of the car and stared for a long time at a smear of blood on the trunk lid. He gently wiped it away with the pad of his index finger, brought it close to his eyes, and gazed at it for a moment.

He was seething with rage here, with volcanoes erupting one after another in his heart, while the man opposite, watching his retreating back, suddenly flashed a trace of a smile—a very faint smile that vanished in an instant.

Golden Toad was completely unfazed by the Sea King's warning; even though his cultivation was inferior to the Sea King's, he still had no fear that the Sea King would kill him.

Upon hearing the prefect's instructions, Advisor Liu also set his mind at ease. In truth, he was unwilling to make an enemy of Mu Hongyi, but the prefect was the master he served, and he could not go against the prefect's wishes. Seeing that the situation could be slightly eased now, he was naturally quite pleased.

Yet Shen Yi was unwilling to let it go. Having dismissed Yuetang, he stubbornly pulled me into his arms and kissed me for a long time before letting me go. Imprisoned in his embrace, listening to his thunderous heartbeat, my face turned crimson without needing to apply any rouge.

Take Wang Nuo, for example. Securing the charitable donations and turning value-preserving investments into value-appreciating ones was undoubtedly a plus, but the most crucial thing he needed to do was spend the money. When a charitable foundation goes out to fundraise, you cannot simply boast about how much money you have made; rather, you must demonstrate how much you have already spent, where it was spent, and what future plans you have.

In this regard, even Qin Buyi had to admit that he fell short compared to Qin Liang and Qin Lin.

Back then, when passing by this shop, she had seen many people buying things inside. Unfortunately, lacking any silver or copper coins of their own, she could only walk past the entrance and sniff the aroma drifting out from within. That fragrance had been so enticing that, even now, Taohua's mouth still watered just thinking about it.

Even with Wang Nuo, had it not been for a fortuitous encounter, Green wouldn't have bothered debating with him, as his "class hours" were extremely valuable.

Thus, with give and take between us, we fell in love. Later, she said she was ordered by her master to descend the mountain for a year of experiential training, which led to the scene of our previous encounter.

Something was wrong, something was definitely wrong! Yet, try as he might, Liu Jingye could not pinpoint exactly what was amiss.

"Madam, please extend your wrist." Tang Yue tapped the table, signaling her to place it there.

Xiao Jinxin watched as her mother lost all her dignity, weeping, kowtowing, her hair disheveled from her frantic movements, and her haggard complexion making her look a decade older at first glance—utterly devoid of the prestige she once held as a marquis's lady.
