Chapter 27

The other races in the world of Disboard began to settle down, gradually adapting to a new world defined not by raw power, but by games.

"Old Mother Wu, it’s not like your family is short on grain, so why are you buying so much?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Xi'er began to activate the chessboard, drawing in soil and rocks from the Gold-Stone Secret Realm, along with weeds and trees, intending to prepare a foothold where living things could survive long-term.

Her refinement was ingrained in her very bones; even while eating, she was a beautiful sight to behold, elegant and composed.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is a dear elder from my village, Ironhead," Ji Yun said, introducing the newcomer to the members in the room with practiced ease.

Her heart pounded. Even though she and he had seen each other’s naked bodies many times, she still felt a sense of shyness and a racing heart whenever she was exposed before him without a stitch of clothing.

Qiao Shan suffered in this regard; like Huang Bo, he had to rely on his wit to make up for his lack of physical appearance.

She didn't bother to find out who the Song woman was. Years ago, when her family occupied a piece of someone else's land and the owner came to confront her, she had tackled the man, accused him of lewd behavior, and in the end, not only kept the land for free but also extorted a significant sum of money from him.

Handsome as they were, cold weapons had limited deterrent power. Other special forces soldiers shouted, demanding that Pierce be released.

"Theoretically, we should be helping the Fire Giant now, but unfortunately, that guy harbors far more hatred for us than he does for Thanos."

Li Meng learned over the phone that Zhang Hongqing was on his way. She exhaled, gathered her spirits, and walked into the café, waving enthusiastically at Fang Yixin.

Because at this moment, the spatial seal covering a radius of several hundred meters remained unmoved and as steady as Mount Tai, despite the aura of the Immortal Sword, which was nearly equivalent to the peak of a Dharma Image.

Currently, there were no large-scale breeding farms near Xinning. The meat in other restaurants on Xiangshui Street was collected from local farmers, so the quality was inconsistent, and supply was intermittent.

To be precise, I really did not want to remain entangled with these two "old friends," but they had caused trouble in the country after all. If I let them off easily, it wouldn't be appropriate; I had to make them provide an explanation to the hotel.

My opponents were taking action while I was still hesitating; that was not my nature. President Xue walked out of the conference room, as the argument had reached no conclusion, with everyone holding their own views.

The Dashang Real Estate Investment Fund was clearly part of Chen Li’s overall plan—once this link was completed, it would save them forty to fifty million in financial costs from loan financing over the next two years. Since this link was not yet finished, there was no point in discussing anything else.

"What terrifying power! Is this the might of a third-grade divine rune array?" Long Yang gasped to himself. Compared to the Blood-Glare Array he had previously deciphered, this third-grade array made his brow ache just by staring at it. But more troublingly, it was like a block of iron; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move it in the slightest.

Bai Hongzhuo thought his older brother had taken advantage of Su Jian, so he apologized to her sincerely and promised to personally seek forgiveness from Lu Sinian. He was deeply worried that Lu Sinian would retaliate against the Bai family because of this.

Yet, looking at Zhang Haoran’s phone number, Chen Li hesitated. He didn't want Zhang Haoran to know about his involvement in the Ginkgo Garden project yet, mainly fearing that Zhang would be overly concerned and disrupt the rhythm of his contact with Qian Wanli.

It was the end of December and a weekend. Although the weather had turned cold, the day construction on the bridge began was filled with warm sunshine, sweeping away the gloom of the past and appearing bright and beautiful.

I don't know why, but I always feel that He Zhengyang possesses a kind of magic. Whenever I am struggling powerlessly in the darkness, his presence is like a sedative, bringing a deep calm to my heart—like a sanctuary in a bustling world that allows one to let go of greed and find peace of mind.

"Is that so? It seems the Prime Minister’s wife knows quite a bit. Knowing the Emperor so well, are you planning something?" Xia Wanrong continued.

"There are no conditions. Even if there were, I only hope you can take good care of Su Guanfeng. Don't take advantage of his illness to end him. Now that Lu Minglang has already..." Before I could finish, Qiao Xiuyu’s phone chimed, interrupting me.

Moreover, she didn't want to risk her meager friendship with Lin Wu. Who knew what Lin Wu’s true thoughts were? If she happened to anger him, she wasn't even sure if she could keep her own life.

Half a month later, her enemy was diagnosed with that disease. In a fit of extreme rage and despair, he drank too much alcohol, jumped off the bridge, and drowned.

Without delay, I grabbed a club and, from that direction, crawled forward, inching closer to the archer.

I called He Zhengyang and asked him to help find a seat for Su Jingpei at the wedding banquet—one that wasn't too conspicuous but still toward the front. When He Zhengyang heard it was my younger brother, he came to the lounge. He greeted Su Jingpei; I had wanted to find a time for them to eat together and get to know each other, but our schedules never aligned.

She was sitting in the courtyard eating fruit when she saw Han Shitou walk in. He sat beside her, coughed twice, and looked troubled.

This arduous flight lasted longer than the time we were trapped on the deserted island. When we finally identified our direction, avoided those warships, and discovered a fishing boat on the sea, it was already a month later.

Long Jing sighed and placed a hand over the ancient zither. A white light instantly erupted from it. In a flash, the light dissipated, and the precious instrument was as good as new, restored to its luxurious appearance.

How could she say it so lightly? Did I truly mean nothing to her?

Thinking of this, she had no choice but to turn back and walk toward Dr. Gu’s room. Before she could knock, she heard her own voice coming from inside the room, where the door hadn't been fully closed.

Since that was the case, I should take this opportunity to bring up the "Sang Family Sea Planting" matter and hear what this old man thinks.

As for Mourinho, he must be looking forward to returning to the Camp Nou to revisit the memories of his time there. Before becoming famous, Mourinho served as an assistant under then-Barcelona manager Bobby Robson; he was on the team in 2000 when Barcelona eliminated Chelsea in the Champions League.

The scene of fish piled like mountains at the old site remained vivid in my mind. This was the first harvest at the new site; whether they were there to watch the excitement or participate in the fishing, everyone was looking forward to it.
