27 27—The World Teems with Talent, as Thick as Carp Crossing the River

A plan flashed through Cheng Yiyi’s mind. Once a little more time had passed, she would whisper into Xiao Hongjian’s ear that Chen Feng was merely a puppet, while real control of the company still rested with the Wei family. Unless they uprooted the weeds completely, they would grow back when the spring wind blew. Xiao Hongjian would certainly wipe out every member of the Wei family.

He circled around from the other side and happened to see the jade pendant as well. It looked crystal-clear and translucent, clearly no ordinary object. But in this world, it was practically worthless. If he found a buyer, he might get no more than a pound of rice for it. Still, a pound of rice was a pound of rice—better than nothing.

“I, the Lion Emperor, curse you to never find love…” The Lion Emperor began struggling coyly, while Ajiu silently rolled his eyes.

“All right!”

The man whom Director Zhang called Old Wang was not actually old. He was just over thirty, with hair that had receded slightly at the temples, thick black brows, and a pair of bright, lively eyes.

A Nuo respectfully offered his greetings, then fixed his gaze on the black-robed man who had appeared abruptly before A Xi.

Because the items on the second floor were all high-grade or unusual treasures, every product had a price tag in front of it, and each figure was followed by a great many zeros. Naturally, the higher the price, the more valuable the item.

It was probably because news of her having uncovered an Imperial Green jadeite had spread that so many people had come. Most of those in the hall were discussing the Imperial Green.

Tang Miaomiao was secretly delighted. Of course it tasted good—it had been prepared with spiritual water, using nothing but green ingredients from her spatial realm.

The Jun Xi of the past had always seemed to him like someone who could never sit still. Leaving the Prince of the Moon’s residence was nothing; going out of the city, even leaving the country, was as routine as eating a meal. Yet now she truly behaved like a sheltered young lady, remaining in her boudoir. It was more than a little difficult for him to get used to.

“Don’t cry yet. There’s another round after this one. For all you know, you’ll be beaten miserably in the next round.” Mo Tianluo spoke without the slightest mercy.

“Secretly teaching ordinary mortals the immortal arts is a grave violation of the sect’s rules. How could I dare commit such an outrage against the world?” Lu Chen said in a solemn voice.

After taking the roasted rabbit meat, Li Shan’s appetite surged at the smell. For the past month, he had eaten nothing but Five-Element Rice and was sick of it to the point of nausea. With meat suddenly placed in his hands, he found the temptation of roast meat nearly impossible to resist.

All she could see was white. She could not tell whether it truly was white or merely a heaven with no sky.

Tong Lexi was still thinking when Xu Mosen suddenly seized her by the neck and pulled her aside. She looked up at him with a complicated expression, but just as she was about to sigh, Xu Mosen covered her mouth with his hand. Tong Lexi slapped at his hand, constantly letting out muffled whimpers.

“That is something you need not trouble yourself over.” Once again, he drew a knife from his sleeve and sent it flying above Ye Qian. When the knife point came to rest directly over Ye Qian’s head, he stopped its flight. The instant he released the effect, the blade would pierce straight through Ye Qian’s skull.

Xu Mosen had no idea how deeply those words wounded the person who loved him so dearly. In his eyes and in his heart, there was only Tong Lexi.

“This…” Faced with Zhao Jinmei’s questioning, Zhao Dezhi was rendered speechless and had no idea how to answer her.

Gui wasted no time. He tore the door apart by force, casually crushing several zombies that were still “on duty” inside the control room.

On one side, disguised as Professor Yang, someone was administering electrotherapy to cure Cobrian’s “brain damage.” On the other, Kanoss single-handedly held back the berserk Pisas, while Sassarian stood like a pillar, leading the beastmen soldiers in a fierce melee against the charging Fang Druids.

A moment earlier, Lightning had been leaning against the door at the entrance, savoring the sweetness of the canned fruit he had eaten before.

At that moment, those ghost soldiers suddenly stopped paying any attention to us. Instead, they began shrieking wildly before fleeing in all directions. The ghost army on which the Black Yama relied had unexpectedly collapsed completely. Seeing this, I gritted my teeth, turned, and looked toward the blood-red coffin, my eyes reddening as well.

But now, the shopkeepers along Antique Street all wore solemn expressions as they watched the old man’s tears fall drop by drop.

What puzzled Qin Lang was that someone as extravagantly wealthy as Carrot should have had his own private plane. Why was he flying with other people instead? And why was he even sitting in economy class?

By rights, when the leaders of both sides discussed matters beneficial to the country and its people, he ought to have been glad to hear it as a bystander. Yet Tang Rao felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He neither agreed nor disagreed with the proposal put forward by the Island Lord of East Isle, but in his heart, he unexpectedly marked it with a cross.

He tossed the city in his hand toward Tian Wu. The moment it reached Tian Wu, it vanished without a trace.

When I saw this, my complexion changed dramatically as well. I cursed inwardly and immediately broke into a frantic run. Huang Qiming must truly have come to hate me this time. He was, after all, the dignified chairman of some Dao Arts Association, yet I had reduced him to such a wretched state.

Speaking of the Ago Search Engine, it had once been immensely popular in Hua Nation. Yet in the end, for various reasons, the Ago Search Engine withdrew from the Hua Nation market.

“There’s no reason. That’s simply how I feel.” As she spoke, she casually draped the overcoat around her shoulders.

Cui Baiyi listened to Tang Rao and felt that his words seemed rather reasonable. Still, something about them struck him as strange. As for exactly what was strange, he could not say.

Seeing this, the old man surnamed Hua was instantly overjoyed. He hurried toward the medicinal garden as though he had glimpsed the hope of life itself.

The nightmare creatures, including Stoke, gathered around Sang Ruo to watch from the sidelines. Although they were astonished by Seniel’s power and deeply doubtful of his identity and intelligence, they saw the oppressive gloom surrounding their lord, Sang Ruo, and did not dare discuss the matter too openly.

With his abilities, he could easily have kicked the other man into the sea, uttered a few ruthless threats, and then departed in style beneath the stunned gazes of everyone present.

The exhaustion of a night spent fleeing, together with the predicament of being trapped under military protection alongside his companions, finally dissolved in that fall into a brief burst of sobbing.
