Chapter 142: A Moment of Quiet

"Have you heard? The Imperial Capital of the Dragon Kingdom has been quite turbulent lately! The three top modern noble families have been fighting tooth and nail for power! Within the entire Dragon Kingdom, goodness knows how many factions have been dragged into this. So far, directly or indirectly, at least half a million people have died!"

"Tsk tsk, who doesn't know that? But the fact that the modern noble families are this powerful certainly exceeded my expectations. Fortunately, though, our boss..."

"I only want the love you give me. I know that is the greatest happiness," Yang Shimin said softly.

"How are you?" Tang Hanfeng suddenly blurted out those words, instantly changing the entire atmosphere.

His grandfather first praised him warmly with a pleasant expression, then kindly imparted a great deal of wisdom to him, and finally generously tossed him a bank card. This made his grandfather appear so benevolent and kind-hearted that under such circumstances, how could he possibly have the heart to utter even half a word of refusal to any of Grandpa's arrangements?

Watching Gao Dapeng's receding figure, Jiang Ming suddenly felt that his previous understanding of Gao Dapeng had been quite superficial. At this moment, the impression Gao Dapeng left upon him was undoubtedly much better and far deeper.

Lu Yun wore a look of utter disbelief, recalling the scene of retrieving the antidote that day. Clearly, he had been eager to get his hands on it, only to be beaten to it by a single step. Could it be that this antidote, for which everyone had fought and bled, was actually fake?

There were three or five bailiffs on duty in the prison, and a dozen or so prisoners were locked up across five or six cells. Yet, after searching everywhere, she failed to find the person she was looking for.

After finishing their meal, Bald Qiang, Iron Snake, and the others drank the herbal medicine Lin Ruoxi had brewed for them. Following another bout of the agonizing pain of cellular compression and bodily transformation, Iron Snake took several of his brothers and headed back to Handsome's luxury yacht parked at the dock.

"Hehe, exactly. My physique is top-notch. Alright, let's take a rest right here." Hearing Long San praise his fine physique, Handsome was overjoyed and said this as he walked over to a large tree.

No one knew where he had gone, and when he finally reappeared, it was already four years later.

Yet MaidPeony could not muster a single smile at the moment. When the leader of the Zhuge Guild had departed, although he left behind no specific tasks, MaidPeony understood that her mission was far from over!

Right at that moment, from the puddle of water on the back seat, five ghostly white fingers began to stretch outward! Yet, Zhao Jian and Ye Yan remained utterly oblivious to it all.

When he first encountered the Four Spirits Envoys, Lu Xuan had told a colossal lie, attributing his artifact-crafting skills to the Heavenly Silkworm Venerable. This made it somewhat difficult for him to face the Four Spirits Envoys, and furthermore, he had no desire to be listed on the dual honor rolls, making it far better to simply avoid them altogether.

One must know that Yun Xiao's superpower was darkness, allowing him to render himself invisible within the shadows—the absolute best ability for an assassin.

Watching the villagers gathered in his home, Zhang Cuishan felt a surge of panic in his heart. Suddenly, he noticed a wisp of black Qi emanating from the person known as the village chief. To Zhang Cuishan's even greater shock, that wisp of black Qi actually drifted straight into his own heart and mind. Terrified, he hurriedly reached out to touch his chest and forehead.

If paired with a musical cultivator to invisibly set up formations and trap the enemy within them, this battle would have no suspense whatsoever.

Yang Ming examined the flame repeatedly and suddenly discovered that it seemed much larger than before. In particular, its color had changed from vibrant red to golden. Could it be because it absorbed true Qi? Could true Qi actually serve as nourishment for the flame?

Chen Bin's words caused Da Fei to halt in his tracks. Da Fei tightened his grip on the steel pipe and baseball bat in his hands, while Ah Cai held the flashlight high to illuminate the path ahead.

He pinched his lips with his thumb, then withdrew his divine vision and mystical powers, letting his dharma image naturally fade away. Only then did he fix his gaze intently on the old man, hoping to discern something, yet still unable to see through him.
