63 The Other Shore Manor

Seeing Ye Zi appear once more, Shangguan Hong was somewhat surprised and nodded with a friendly smile. Afterward, she discussed with Ye Qiu the matter of returning to the family to treat her grandfather. As for Ye Zi, she always remained like an invisible person, speaking very rarely—something Shangguan Hong had long since grown accustomed to.

"Why are you looking for the boss here? I see you're all carrying suitcases, and I'm very curious," Boss Chai continued to ask.

A sword intent like a soaring dragon surged around Chen Teng, radiating an unmatched, regal dominance, as if he were supreme and all creation must submit to him.

Therefore, he waded through the ankle-deep sewage to a certain subterranean location in the city, opened the pack he carried, and changed into the pre-prepared clothes inside. His heavy, mud-caked rubber boots, along with the backpack, were abandoned in the murky water, and then he climbed upward along the rusted steel ladder.

Chu Tian looked at his current position; it was a passage just wide enough for one person to pass through. If he wanted to let them through, he had to retreat to the other side of the passage, but those people gave Chu Tian no such chance.

Yet at this moment, the pressure the opponent exerted on him was entirely greater than that of any peak level twenty-eight opponent he had ever fought.

Meanwhile, Chu Tian smiled faintly and once again unleashed that divine art. This time, the power was far greater than before; not only that, but Chu Tian also switched to the Power of the Nine Netherworlds, causing his strength to instantly run wild.

The ground began to tremor, countless wisps of black Qi spread from beneath the earth, and a black figure crawled out from the underground.

This army of heavy infantry was composed entirely of recruits who had never participated in a hunt, nor experienced the clash of iron and blood on a battlefield. Through rigorous training, they had already transformed into an excellent military force—save for having never yet experienced actual warfare.

Two youthful hearts yearned to collide with one another, yet out of inner anticipation and fear, they kept a distance from each other.

"..." Fang Bai had the distinct feeling of having been doused with dog's blood from head to toe. He silently placed the baby dragon on the ground, attempting to guide it back toward its mother.

If she were to make a move here and provide others with something to use against her, the Prince Rong Manor would undoubtedly pursue the matter relentlessly. Should the people from Prince Rong Manor use that leverage to demand anything of her, she would find herself in a passive position.

A low shout escaped my lips as the Barbarian God Incantation instantly enveloped my whole body. At the same time, the force behind my fists increased once more; this time, I felt that my previous strength was far inferior.

Meanwhile, the creative vision proposed by Murong Xue had precisely illuminated a bright pathway in her life, instantly lighting up her entire world and giving her a steadfast goal to strive for from then on.

At that moment, Wen Jianren suddenly remembered that she had cut her finger twice, and wondered if the vital blood aura had dissipated.

Mu Nuanxi stared blankly at the two steaks Chu Lin had just prepared, her heart churning like rolling waves. That was right—before her rebirth, Chu Lin had always stayed by her side and had never gone abroad alone, which meant he had no such past experience that required him to cook for himself.

"Enough, Sherlock, we need to take a break. Apologies, Fang, we had no choice but to come to your place to hide out; I hope this doesn't cause you any trouble." Watson was practically on the verge of collapsing, slumping into a chair while barely able to maintain her decorum and politeness.

"That is simply wonderful. You should bring them over immediately; I love such adorable children," Carabosse laughed again, her brightly painted nails caressing her equally vivid lips.

Moreover, given the prior circumstances where only he and Yun'er were together, should he truly harbor malicious intentions and tamper with Yun'er in any way, she would be unable to verify it in the short term. Therefore, she had to be on guard and could not afford to let slip any loophole in his words under any circumstances.

Xiao Heng checked the time; it was already past eight o'clock. For someone who had been drunk and indulged himself late into the night before falling asleep, waking up at this hour could already be considered early.

He was aware of the events that had transpired in the Beichen Kingdom, as well as Gongyi Shuang's attempt to rebel and flee. Now that barriers had been erected across the territories of the Sea Kingdom, how else could she have arrived at Yixiao City if she were not in collusion with Xuanyuan Han?

She had already guessed who was behind the scenes—it was connected to the owner of the strange stone. It was not Xiuxiang, but rather the tight net cast around her by that Ayesi.

Neither of the heads of the two branches of the Shi family was currently in the capital, leaving the Shi family's finances unsustainable and virtually unable to maintain the dignity of a Marquis's estate.

"I will go into the palace later to dispense medicine at the Imperial Hospital, and have someone bring it over tomorrow. You must take charge of it personally and not entrust it to anyone else." You Xue found it difficult to reproach him too harshly; after all, no one wished for such an incident to occur.

Although the average consumption at this restaurant reached twenty-five thousand yen, taking a whole group of people to dine there still stung a bit in the wallet. However, thinking of the 1.1 billion already earned and the even greater revenues yet to come, Qin Han quickly felt at ease.

"Copy this surveillance footage; orders from the municipal bureau will arrive shortly," Song Guoyan said calmly to her colleague in the monitoring room.

Several of them indicated they understood. Afterward, Zhang San met with the gold-badge and silver-badge escorts recruited by the Hangzhou Escort Agency. It was the first time these people were seeing Zhang San, the backer and owner of the Weiyuan Escort Agency. Through his recent martial arts demonstration, Zhang San had not only subdued Shi Bao but also thoroughly awed these men.

Zhou You, hiding in the back, could hardly bear to watch any longer—why be so timid? The young woman had already made it clear: if she agreed, she would nod; if she didn't, they could still remain friends.

It would be abnormal if Swain were not moved. In fact, no one was more moved than he. Faced with human nature and mere survival, everyone would choose the latter while the former could be temporarily set aside. This scene reminded him of the days of his youth when he fought alongside the barons.

He had yet to resolve the bizarre calamity, nor had he dealt with Fu Bushan; these two major worries still weighed heavily on his mind.

Nor did the master give Lou Xi a chance to refuse. He cast a boundary barrier, scooped her up in his arms, and headed straight for the master bedroom. Having already been there once the day before, he was thoroughly familiar with the layout.

Watching the divine falcon soar far away until it completely vanished into the sky, Chuchu finally regained her composure. Given the falcon's speed, if all went smoothly, this letter would reach Ye Yixiao's hands in just two days.
