Volume One, Chapter Ninety-Two: Even the Shepherd Wants to Take the Lead

“No! I will not let you give up!”

“Master Lin Chong, what are you staring at, this crystal for?”

Dongfang Xuan pushed open the door, threw a heap of assorted beast meat he had bought from his storage ring onto the floor, and then looked at Sun Haochi, who was hastily putting away a crystal.

Chuze understood a little now. The old man clearly wanted to help him break through to the ninth rank as soon as possible; only then could he help him leave this Spirit-Gathering Stone and grant him life again. But in that place beyond all human reach, perhaps no one would ever be able to get there.

Han Qianyu was secretly shocked. Compared with the moves of old, this strike was far too fierce; if one took it head-on, an ordinary person would likely be reduced to ashes on the spot.

“Hmph! Is Han Xifeng not an old villain? Calling him an old villain is already showing him respect,” Yan Mantian said.

“Fine. I’ll bring it to you in a bit.” Gu Ye applied another layer of loofah water to Wang Liluo. Wang Liluo had combination-oily skin, with both cheeks tending a little dry, and Gu Ye kept patting on three layers before her skin finally turned supple and moist.

Lie Die hurriedly opened the bathroom door and told the two of them to prepare for battle, only to discover that the drain leading to the sewer had been opened. They had left in such a rush, yet Lie Die was deeply puzzled: was this meant to be leaving, or fleeing?

Because of the protection of the Jun family and the Chu family, the Gu pharmaceutical factory had been able to open so smoothly. In return for kindness, Gu Ye naturally would not refuse. Based on the constitution and condition of the State-Guarding Duke’s wife, she improved the formula for cold and flu granules, and also sent several bottles of Black Chicken White Phoenix Pills to Second Brother Chu to replenish qi and nourish the blood.

Qin Wu especially liked the atmosphere. She felt unusually happy today. She had never expected someone to remember her birthday and even prepare such a surprise for her. Delighted, she drank a little too much tonight, talked more than usual, and kept acting spoiled toward Xiao Mo.

“Ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm!” As a glimmer flashed through Sun Haochi’s eyes, he saw clearly the middle-aged man’s cultivation level, and his vigilance grew at once.

One had to know that the Commander’s Residence was one of the leading powers in the imperial capital; even royal kin would have to yield three parts of courtesy. Han Qianyu’s offense against the Commander’s Residence was clearly a path to certain death.

“This deal is crucial to the revival of the Imperial Ancient Group. Having it is the icing on the cake; without it, I would still be grateful for it, because it was what allowed Xu Nuo and me to confirm our feelings for each other,” Gu Moyan said with a smile.

The voices had already risen from the southeast. That was the gathering call from the kitchen. The head chef pointed out some shortcomings in their work and criticized a few of the kitchen staff. Though he did not say who they were, some people still kept their heads lowered as they listened to his reprimand.

What they could see now was nothing more than a phantom scene. The battles between the gods that had once taken place would appear before them once more.

Natasha had handled this perfectly. S.H.I.E.L.D. had just built a branch near Zhang Lan’s home, evidently for his convenience.

The older man looked at Xie Zixuan, nodded, and said, “Good girl.” Then he left without saying anything else.

When Ye Nuo heard that Gu Moyan had taken Gu Tingchuan and left the hospital, her heart filled with both joy and an inexplicable trace of loss.

“This condition is far too harsh. My Kunlun cannot agree to it!” Bu Tianyun said, shaking his head.

“As for the specific issue, I truly found nothing. But you must have some idea in your own heart about the suspicious people.”

He Muyang no longer wanted to waste any more words with her. He waved to the court staff, and they took Su Anna away.
