Volume 1, Chapter 68: Clear It Up

"Very well." Shen Du agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Lin Zhiyu was somewhat perplexed, after all, this was by no means a small sum of money.

"The debt I owe you is growing larger and larger. Aren't you afraid that I might suddenly run away one day?"

"Do you think, with my abilities, I would be unable to find you?"

The man's eyebrows lifted slightly, the smile at the corner of his mouth completely unmasked.

Naruto was feeling rather defirned at the moment. After entering the Shangqing Sect, he had thought he had struck gold and had good fortune, encountering a sect worth following.

Yet, fearing failure and the prospect of cultivating himself into a powerful venomous insect that would plague his own clan, he left the thirty-seventh heaven and came to this lower tier.

At that moment, the Young Witch Lord raised a hand to block, a brilliant green radiance erupting from his palm. It collided head-on with the golden rainbow, producing a crisp, piercing sound akin to clashing swords, and the golden rainbow was bounced backward.

Furthermore, with an even more excessive tumble, he rolled into the inner side of the jade platform, closed his eyes tight, and prepared to sleep right then and there.

"How come I feel a somewhat sour taste in those words..." At this moment, Zhu Ziming's voice suddenly drifted over from the stairway beside them. Then, Su Mubai and Fox saw Zhu Ziming, also dressed in a black tactical uniform, walking down from upstairs.

Shortly after, everyone gathered around the table for breakfast. Liu Yan had just arrived and it was inconvenient for him to go out for fresh air immediately, lest he arouse distrust within the organization.

"Brother Meng..." I buried my face in his embrace, allowing him to hold me tightly. As long as I can stay by your side, as long as you are safe and happy, let alone grievances and humiliation, I would gladly bear the enmity of the entire world.

He had once heard that the state maintained secret organizations within all major military regions, composed of a group of super-powered individuals. This organization was extremely mysterious and undisclosed to the public, an absolute enigma. All that was known was that their primary objective was to safeguard national security.

If dragons exist in this world, why have they never left a trace? If dragons do not exist, why are legends of them found all over the world?

As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain. When Qi Zhengqian perceived that his status was under threat, he was bound to step forward and suppress the invader.

Having traveled for the better part of the day, his body was covered in wind and dust. Baochun intended to wash up first and was originally going to help her son wash up as well, but when she turned around, the unruly child had already run off without a trace.

Later, several other tables of guests came and went, among which was one table that had not come specifically for the tea and pastries. However, after they took their seats, were served their dishes, and had eaten more than half of their meal, they finally felt something was amiss.

Quan An kept shaking his head. Seeing that it was nearing noon and the Prince of Wu still had not arrived, panic grew in his heart: Could it be that the Prince of Wu had once again learned the inside information in advance?

At that moment, someone came from the front courtyard to report that the Crown Prince had arrived and requested Lady Wang to go out and welcome him. Lady Wang felt a flutter of panic in her heart: One should not curse people early in the morning, for no sooner had she cursed the Crown Prince than the Crown Prince arrived.

"Your Muzi? Oh, come on now, forget it. The only way she would come is if her idol—what was his name, Lin something—was right here," Nanyan bantered.

King Kong nodded, responding to the stone sprite. After all, he had nowhere else to go; accompanying Barry and the others who had rescued him on this journey was not a bad idea.

"Even if there is no illicit affair, I'm afraid they are well on the path toward one!" Lei Yuntao said firmly.

"Brother, didn't you just say you were full? Why are you eating again? Dad, Mom, Sister-in-law, and I haven't eaten yet. If you finish it all, what are we going to eat?" In the past, Zhao Hong would do whatever Zhao Mocheng said, but she had decided that when it came to food, she had to take matters into her own hands, otherwise, she would only be left gnawing on fish bones.

In her dream, she worked day and night to sew ceremonial robes for Brother Ling, yet for reasons unknown, the robes constantly encountered various issues that delayed the progress. Her bridal gown had already been embroidered, radiating brilliant colors, and her grandmother had told her to bring the bridal gown back home.

That couple lay in a pool of blood, struggling powerlessly. Their limbs were broken, the fractured bones piercing through their skin, and fresh blood stained the ground crimson. As for the man, his fifth limb had been severed, and he had long since fainted in a state of profuse foaming at the mouth.
