Chapter 19: Mulberries

“No problem!” Huang Weiye said. In the taxi business, he held a senior position and had long-standing qualifications. Both Li Yuan and Shitou respected him, and when he agreed, they didn’t dare to oppose him.

Gu Xiyu immediately smiled and said, “Big Brother, we won’t bother you any longer; we’ll head back first.” Seeing that Gu Xinian remained silent, she quickly took Ye Qinglan’s hand and slipped out.

After a fierce battle, everyone had developed a sense of fear toward Mu Tianchen and his group. Their gazes were somewhat timid, reluctant to meet theirs directly. Watching this, Man Gan gave a helpless smile.

But in front of Aqi, I don’t want to resort to too much bloodshed. If Aqi weren’t here, I would certainly employ some cruel measures against the old lady to prove whether she is truly a demon witch.

Zhou Yang chose a vacant room and sat cross-legged. The other two rooms had their lights on; Zhou Yang knew those belonged to Wen Renxue and Niu Sheng.

After confirming that the three survivors were safe and sound, the fishermen brought forth a representative. He stepped forward and first expressed the most sincere gratitude to Piao Wuzong for his righteous rescue. Then he inquired with concern about the other companions who had fallen into the sea.

Mu Lao’s voice echoed in Wang Tian’s mind, lingering for a long time. A faint smile curved on Wang Tian’s lips.

“You speak, but my father doesn’t have much say in these matters. If you want extra money, I’m afraid it won’t be possible,” Zhao Kai said bluntly, setting clear terms with no great benefits.

Following that, Sun Shuang, along with her angry elder brother Sun Bin, left the room to find Zhou Yang.

Jia Dong was momentarily stunned, then laughed, “Alright, alright, Boss Yun is a guest here, so it’s naturally the reception department’s duty.” Saying this, he ignored Yun Zhongwei’s displeased expression, smiled farewell, and turned to leave.

While the disciples whispered among themselves in the audience, the master of ceremonies appeared. Wearing a black hat and robe, he carried a white whisk and ascended the altar, chanting softly as he danced around the incense burner. This was a necessary ritual before the Yi Quan Sect changed its leader.

After several dodges, he couldn’t evade any longer. Blood splattered as Ouyang Xu’s left thigh was pierced about an inch deep by Lu Feng’s sword. Ouyang Xu groaned softly, lost balance, and fell to the ground. Lu Feng’s sword then pressed against his throat.

The accountant the young master had hired began tallying past accounts. Every ledger he handled was filled with worries.

The conversation between Yi Bixia and Yi Demin was loud enough that Yi Qingcheng and the Ten Heavens Sect flying overhead heard it clearly.

Just looking at the person before me, it painfully highlights how corrupt my own thoughts have become... Perhaps this is his mother’s intention.

“Finally saved!” Duan Mo immediately turned and sprinted towards the car. Drunken Dream had already prepared it; as soon as Duan Mo got in, the bulletproof jeep accelerated and sped away.

Anna was unaware of Nan Gong Ao’s formidable skills and had no idea of Richard and Laura’s standing in their hearts.

Yi Xin looked at him, her expression unsettled. She bit her lip lightly, as if making a major decision.

However, for the Ten Heavens Sect and Yi Qingcheng, who had just crossed from the battlefield to this place, everything was unfamiliar. They didn’t realize they were trapped in the void within the Devouring Heaven Pot. Landing at the forest’s edge, they immediately warily observed their surroundings and used spiritual senses to detect any danger.

I was not disappointed. My chest swelled with emotion seeing Mother Su walking with a guide cane. I felt both heartache and sorrow.

He’s held my sister captive for so long, and she’s so afraid of him. Now that she’s mentally unwell, how could she possibly discuss divorce calmly?

Generally, only masters at the Divine Ability realm can use such precious treasures to forge weapons. Lower realms have no access to such rare items.

Gu Ping calmly arranged several crabs, lit the fire, and even had the presence of mind to observe how Zhou Annian was handling things during the cooking process.

Agnes smiled faintly. This was the second time she had expressed fondness for something besides ice cream milk tea.

Professor Sun asked Gu Xixi, “Am I disturbing you? Perhaps I should leave first.” He assumed the caller might have been Gu Xixi’s boyfriend.

Ning Peichen, just returning from outside, saw Song Yulin suffer a humiliating defeat. Crossing his arms and hiding out of sight, he watched like a spectator, amused. These days, few dared to confront the six great families so directly.

Though the kitchen was simple, Peng Chenglong was meticulous, even preparing the towels neatly.

“Come on, that’s just the decoration style. Do you think your son lacks aesthetic sense like you?” Chen Chuyi couldn’t tolerate it and sent Su Lianzheng to help move tables.

“Don’t take the enemy for a fool, even if he is a tree,” Caesar said irritably.

“This is the place. Boss, let’s go check it out.” His subordinate immediately stood and prepared to leave.

Thus, within the mountains and forests, the combat power of the medicine spirits was truly terrifying! Yet, despite knowing this, Yang Fan never considered letting Ling’er fight.

Feng Lingxue then checked Xue Tiaotiao’s nose and faint breath, confirming it was still alive, just unconscious.

“It’s truly brutal,” Sun Yan frowned as he observed the fierce melee unfolding.

Violet and Qing Xue stood motionless before Yun Tianyang, their stance resolutely protecting him.

The Longevity Association grew livelier year by year. Searching for someone at such a vast gathering was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Lu Tianyu knew these three could never leave the village. Yet, the thought of soon departing filled him with inexplicable joy. This experience had taught him a new spell, strengthening his power yet another notch.

The Yellow Dragon, suspended midair, suddenly lost control and crashed down like a falling star. The desert erupted in waves of swirling sand.

The startled minotaur stared blankly as its kin charged at it. By the time they came to their senses, the iron-hoofed slave army had already stormed the tribe.

Huo Ziyin was himself part of a vast food chain, prey to many animals in the glacial lands.

Though the Osaka branch usually kept at least a hundred formation members—lowest-ranking members of the Black Dragon Society, akin to cannon fodder—losing so many in a mission was no pity. But to be wiped out by a single person was something he simply could not accept.
