Chapter 181: Unusually Mobilized Soldiers

"Really? Will I have the aura of a king about me from now on?"
Luan Taiping could hardly restrain his surging excitement, eagerly pressing Ye Cheng for confirmation.
"Naturally. With the aura of a king, I, Ye Cheng, can guarantee that Head Steward Luan will be cured of all ailments the moment that aura stirs," Ye Cheng replied, holding back a laugh.

......

However, doing such things in broad daylight was simply too much for the upright and traditional Huo Yuanzheng to accept.

"Found it." After a while, Xia Mengyou walked over to Liu Yaoxi, carrying several jars and bottles.

Man An felt a fleeting wave of regret for not holding onto Su Cheng back then. Looking at the man beside her and then back at Su Cheng and Yan Li, there was simply no comparison in terms of sheer presence.

After all, in the realm of art where various "isms" run rampant, not every master is capable of producing truly fine works.

After all, long before they launched an all-out battle with Brother Yu, the internal voices had already been filled with a desire to sue for peace.

"And then you used me? And what do you want to do now? Silence me? Travel back in time to undo your past mistakes?" Feng Jianming suddenly rattled off a series of questions.

"Attack!" Sensing that the distance was about right, Guo Xiong let out a low roar, abruptly seizing the longbow in his hand and drawing the string to its fullest. An arrow shot forth like a meteor.

Ruan Yue lay on the ground, clutching her leg as if she had suffered a bad fall, yet for some reason she could not sit up, breaking out in a cold sweat from the excruciating pain.

Accompanying him were Guo Xiong, who had just stepped down from his shift at the yamen, and Old Mudfish and the others from their shifts at the North Gate Pier.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you're willing to cooperate with me, I'll do whatever it takes—I'll even give you my life." Quan Hou chattered endlessly around Yan Shi, ruining Yan Shi's appetite entirely. After forcing down a couple of bites, Yan Shi retreated back upstairs.

The revenue from the pig intestines actually exceeded Cheng Xi's expectations. In just one month's time, the profits tallied up to over thirty taels of silver. After deducting the capital, she was left with nearly twenty taels in net profit, meaning Cheng Xi no longer needed to worry about paying the rent.

Although Zeng Rou remained silent, she still unconsciously took a step forward, looking pleadingly at Murong Fu.

Young Master Xue felt there was some logic to these words, yet deep down he still harbored doubts: could Xu Sanlang really make heads or tails of these crooked, winding things?

This was the sheer power of having a system. If Long Cheng had slashed out that blade himself, he would have had to pour all his concentration into controlling the purple magic blade. But with the random ultimate move awarded by the system, once unleashed, he didn't have to worry about a thing. It operated just like pre-programmed code, automatically slaying monsters.

"Prime Minister Cao now widely recruits talented scholars and has instructed us not to slight visiting luminaries. This old man can only abide by the rule of first-come, first-served and dare not arbitrarily inflate the price." The shopkeeper shook his head. Under Cao Cao's stern rule, they dared not challenge the law.

Now, thanks to the pill gifted by Yang Mu, he had broken through to the Mysterious Realm so naturally. It was so effortless that even Han Ying, who had already succeeded, still found it hard to believe. In truth, even with his success, it hadn't been easy, considering he had spent a full three days refining the medicinal potency.

"It doesn't hurt. If you are unhappy, my heart aches far more," Murong Fu murmured sweet nothings without missing a beat.

Seeing that the grand enterprise of merging the sects was on the verge of collapsing in failure, a powerfully built, burly man stepped up the stone stairs and hurried to Left Chonghan's side, whispering into his ear for a brief moment.

Those with shallow seniority saw the seniors and the prince bowing, so they followed suit and bowed as well. Even if they had no idea who the person before them was, looking at this formation, anyone with even a sliver of sense knew this was someone they could not afford to cross.

Madame Ma looked up at Xu Sanlang. Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, she swallowed the words hovering at the tip of her tongue. Since Xu Sanlang himself acted as though he hadn't heard, she had no standing to dissuade Cheng Xi from speaking that way.

Yet she found it all the more absurd. Why bother blocking her path now? Back then, he had dumped her without a second thought, acting with absolute ruthlessness—never seeing her again, refusing her phone calls and text messages, and even forbidding her from coming anywhere within a few miles of the Man family's residence.
