Chapter 23: Unified Purpose

"Hehe, Young Master Jiang, aren't you a bit too eager? Have you taken good care of your stunning beauty yet?"

Jianghai City's wealthy district, Su Manor.

In the heart of the estate, within a luxurious villa, in the grand hall.

Jiang Chen leaned indifferently against the sofa. Su Luoxue, her figure alluring, wore a deep red silk nightgown, her snow-white skin exposed in generous swathes to the air.

...

Mo Qianxia spoke while slowly approaching Lin Mohan, her steps unsteady, her face vacant, with two streaks of tears seemingly still hanging on her cheeks.

Hearing her words, Lin Mohan's eyes filled with pain, as if tears threatened to fall as well. He clenched his teeth, said nothing, his gaze growing redder.

The Zhou and Li families had been completely eliminated, leaving only the contest between the Liu and Bai families. For decades, it was the first time the competition had ended in a tie.

Yet at this moment, Dantai Ao had other plans in mind. Even Xing Aochen had concluded that the Sword of Dread in Gu Fan's hands had become a blood-refined artifact. If he pinned the crime of colluding with heretical sorcerers on Gu Fan, not only Gu Fan but the entire Marquis of the Plains' estate would face annihilation.

Big Guai Guai, seeing Tong Guai Guai patting her head, leaned closer to her in enjoyment. Thus, she accompanied Tong Guai Guai quietly, neither making a fuss nor running about.

"The meat hasn't finished roasting yet. Eating it now would be bad for your health," Su Weishi's clear voice rang out.

At this moment, if she couldn't find a way to leave and take Hu Miao to the hospital, Hu Miao might spend the rest of her life in darkness.

Hu Shuntang coughed for a while, catching his breath to recover. Of the others, except Burial Qingyi, who avoided in time thanks to her speed, all reacted much like Liu Zhenming—nearly fainting.

With plenty of time, the three weren't in a hurry as they traveled. They journeyed by day and stopped to rest at night.

Upon entering, someone came to greet them early. The bridal shop was nearly empty—she assumed afternoons were always quiet, but that wasn't the case at all. Gu Yi had booked the entire shop, as arranged beforehand. For the next two days, it belonged solely to the couple.

Then, the many 'family members' present, along with a crowd of reporters, were so excited they couldn't contain themselves. They clenched their fists and raised them, shouting loudly, nearly frenzied.

Emerging from a hidden underground refuge was Cuihua, who had consumed a piece of Liu Eighteen's Taishui nail and regained her youthful appearance.

The ledgers had already been reduced to ashes; verifying anything was impossible now. They could only rely on the staff's experience for judgment.

So early in the morning, placing this thing on the nightstand—what could it mean? Was it a gift for her?

However, at that moment, Ao Hong and Ao Yu, the two elder brothers, failed to notice the sly glint that flashed across Bai Chen's eyes.

Lu Hanqiang paid no heed to propriety, reciting poem after poem plagiarized from Nalan like a gushing spring.

Suddenly, all the thread-like entities moved as one, piercing directly into divine consciousness.

After fierce battle between the over thirty thousand low-level demon wolves of the Golden Wolf Tribe and the over fifty thousand from the Fire Wolf Tribe, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Li Xiangqian, seeing her youthful face, didn't linger. An Zai Xu had truly bitten the bait, so the next phase of the game could begin.

Inside the office came Dai Quanchong's helpless voice, as if he was in the midst of something pleasurable yet suddenly interrupted, sounding very impatient.

After Chelsea regained possession, they didn't launch a reckless attack. The midfielders kept their distance, stretching Barcelona's formation. Gerrard dribbled across the center line, exchanged two wall passes with Lampard, then sent the ball forward.

At last, the ferocious aura from Tian Zhi's body completely subsided, while the "Aurora Magnetism" of Nightless City surged and gradually stabilized.
