Chapter 72: It Goes Without Saying

Shocking news! In just one week, the Jiang family has successfully established themselves in nearly twenty cities, and now they are the undisputed leading force within Jiang Province! In only half a year, the Jiang family rose from Jianghai City, blazing a trail of brilliance, and has now become the ruler of the province!

Mu Yunxin closed her eyes, her serene and beautiful face reflected in the car window, dreamy and ethereal.

The other four family heads shared similar expressions; if any one of them were alone, they might have already lost control and made a move against Xu Hong.

“Some say keeping ornamental fish is an idle pursuit. So I am an idle person,” Luo Yuan, with his bubble-like eyes, let a self-mocking smile curl at the corners of his mouth, causing the soft flesh on his cheeks to tremble slightly.

He took a glove from Gesang, which, on the surface, was made of layers of coarse hemp, lined with soft plastic and warm brocade. Yet from the worn-out hemp threads, one could glimpse the fine mesh of silk.

Su Yao’s cry of amazement had barely faded when he saw Bai Gui reach out to hold his left arm, his expression dark and grim.

After pressing the bark in, Su An took a step back. During these moments, the stone house echoed with the calls of crows and owls, yet because Su An did not look inside, he had no idea what fate had befallen those birds.

Mu Yunxin’s only concern now was that Lan Mu might harm her child; she would never allow such a thing to happen.

No outsider could imagine that the average farmland per person here was less than half an acre, yet this was their sole source of income. No matter how frugal they were, after seven or eight months, the jars at home would be empty.

The man gritted his teeth and said, “What you borrowed is usurious!” He clenched his fists, itching to land a punch on Chen Tuzi’s face.

Regardless of the reason, if Mo Qiqi forcibly erased the spiritual imprint from the storage pouch, it would certainly inflict some harm on that cultivator.

Seeing the sudden appearance of Prime Minister Turtle before him, Ao Qin, whose bones had nearly gone limp from fright, seemed to grasp a lifeline. The oppressive sense of death that had weighed on his heart was expelled with a deep breath.

Now, with Su Rui willing to lease the land, the township officials were overjoyed, and the villagers had no objections. Someone was leasing the mountain forest, and the villagers could receive some rent each year—why not?

As comrades-in-arms for many years, they had roamed freely through this universe, thanks to the Flame Warriors who became their guards.

To protect the lives of the Qi-refining cultivators on this flying shuttle, Mo Qiqi affixed a Fire Talisman in the rear compartment. Though it was only a second-grade high-quality talisman, the Golden Core cultivator rushed over, and within a few breaths, the talisman’s flames had already extinguished.

The Valkyrie of Wakiri resembled a puppet, holding his axe in a charging stance, crashing straight into the cage of lightning as if he had not noticed its existence at all.

Under the bright moonlit sky, Lu Li left the Ephemeral Inn. He did not know where to go, nor how he should react when faced with You Ning.

Several days after the order was issued, Liu Mu only managed to acquire a piece of obsidian slightly larger than his palm.

Cao Ping contacted a real estate agency for listings. This expense could not be spared; in Beijing, resources like storefront transfers were controlled by agents—finding them alone could take forever.

Li Mao gave no orders, and Hu Nanxiang dared not use force. Every time, they racked their brains, coaxing and tricking people to leave. If they couldn’t get them out, they had to follow behind anxiously, eyes wide as copper bells, guarding guests as if against thieves, yet unable to let anyone notice. It was truly a bitter ordeal.

On this day, as Mu Ya meditated, she suddenly saw a scarlet flash shoot from below the cliff. The light spurted forth like a thick blood spring, carrying a powerful aura of death.
