Chapter 15: Selling the House

The longing gaze of Jiang Jiuxun appeared once more. If she didn’t go out for a walk soon, boredom would surely consume her in the harem—especially with Huan Yan absent. Yet, he had no intention of revealing these thoughts to the person before him. Over time, he had come to see her true nature clearly.

In recent days, much time had been spent searching for the Flame Shadow Dragon to fulfill the tasks assigned by the system, leaving him restless at night, unable to find peaceful sleep.

Meng Shengsheng withdrew her gaze, calmly taking out her phone. She looked at the photo on the lock screen, and only then did the smile, which had not reached her eyes until now, soften with warmth.

Xin Tian’s words echoed in her mind, and after speaking, she felt she might have been stirring trouble unnecessarily. After all, it was early morning—why would she be thinking about snow?

Meng Shengsheng knew she was beautiful, but not so stunning as to make a man who had only collaborated with her on a single film take such huge risks on her behalf.

Seeing everyone’s hostility directed at her, Ye Xuan chuckled softly. His gaze swept past the crowd, settling on the last person present.

It was as if the two had returned to the carefree days in the Southern Dynasty, where despite their low status, they lived happily and freely.

Cheng Qinghuan replied that it was nothing serious; Lin Ming’s training was very exhausting, so he was allowed a day of rest.

Looking at Wu Juhua’s expression, her heart softened again, reminding her of how worried Wu Guifang had been for her.

“Nan Guang is in seclusion?” Zhang Tao asked. Since he had informed them about the coming changes, everyone had become more motivated and diligent. Though Zhang Tao knew it might be futile, he did not want to dampen their enthusiasm.

Because Long Yanhua’s act of scaling the wall to skip classes severely violated the academy’s rules, she was suspended for half a month as a warning. She thought it might be a good opportunity to stay home and help her younger brother Long Xiyun break the seal in his head, hoping to restore him to normalcy.

The Hulk, clad in a solemn suit, began the final judgment on Iron Man, Black Bat King, and Mister Fantastic.

As for the ten elite elves, powerful cultivators in their late tribulation stage, they bowed their noble heads low, not daring to utter a single word of defiance, addressing the Tree Immortal: “Yes, Tree Immortal!” The ten elves, coordinating with thousands of others, responded in unison with perfect harmony, their faces devoid of any hint of objection.

Wei Yang sensed he wanted to say something but then stopped. Seeing his pained expression, she couldn’t help but inquire. She had never seen him so troubled before—not even during their shared life-and-death trials.

Cai Fei’s heart was in turmoil; she just wanted to soothe her mood. Her pale golden curls floated freely as she reached the “Years of Elegance” bar, where she first met Li Haolong, all within five minutes.

Upon hearing her grandfather’s direct accusation, Yan Qian’s eyes widened in terror. Trembling all over, she instantly knelt. Her expression was hesitant and uncertain, unsure how to respond. Faced with Long Haotian’s deliberate intimidation, she was too frightened to lie.

Chen Zhi’s soldiers numbered only five hundred, with three hundred currently following him. Since Sun Quan’s army aimed for total annihilation from the start, they fled at the first contact, kicking up endless dust. Who the hell knew how many troops had come to besiege the city? As long as the handsome banner did not err, that would be enough.

Finally, after more than a minute, Megatron ceased his kicking and trampling. The metallic mechanical body of Red Spider was twisted and shattered in places, continuously dropping parts. Seeing Red Spider unable to perform any mechanical reassembly, Megatron’s fury gradually subsided.

Dodging my strike with the same deftness as before, the big-headed one didn’t move his head this time but used both hands to grasp his torso, sliding it one body-length to the right. The maneuver was just right, skillfully avoiding my palm before returning to the original position.

“No matter what you do, I want my sacrifice—you understand?” Taking a deep breath, Andariel struggled to suppress his anger.

“Alright, let’s do it this way! With my personal troops plus the new forces you brought, we now have thirty thousand loyal soldiers. Adding scattered troops gathered from various places, we currently command a hundred thousand. Defending this city should be no problem,” Li Quan said confidently.

Only then did Wang Zhi notice Chang’an peering from behind Le Feiyi. A stunned admiration filled his eyes, yet he said nothing, merely ordering his men to secure the Le family’s carriage and leading the group into the mansion.

Dong Ze appeared calm and carefree, adopting a standard military boxing stance. His eyes brightened noticeably.

This was not about taking advantage of someone in distress, but rather because the woman had ill intentions toward him beforehand. Li Qiang was no fool who liked to suffer losses; he was a wolf cub ready to devour anyone given the chance.

Li Zhenjiang only knew that the barbarian retreat might be related to Dong Hua, but he was unaware of the details. At this moment, he was seriously examining Chen Shumin’s facial injuries.

However, fortunately, the unconscious Lacanix could no longer perceive his current miserable state.

No sooner had I finished speaking than the four ghosts—Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding—each pursued a different stream, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

That chubby Dong Hua had returned from the frigid Greater Khingan Range, bringing back many local specialties.

“You mean I have to score this goal despite the opponent’s possible malicious fouls? Alright, understood,” Kobe said without hesitation, though he wasn’t entirely confident.

The clash of sword aura and blade light rang out crisply, clear and resonant, echoing in all directions. At the same time, the cold moon soared with the sound, rising over ten zhang, its brilliance intensified and sharpness heightened. Yu Anmin had already merged with the Cold Moon Blade, transforming into the bright moon, proudly hanging in the sky.
