Chapter 28: Annoying Me.

Prince Limang was extremely pleased that Lu Xia neither asked unnecessary questions nor failed to grasp the situation.

She felt that there had to be a reason why such a young female had already achieved so much.

The beauty balm developed by Courtyard One was so remarkably effective that she was certain the hair-growth solution would not disappoint her either.

Although the hair-growth solution had not yet reached her hands, Prince Limang had already begun to look forward to it.

If the hair-growth solution truly solved her problem, then from that day onward she would...

For such a vast Demacia to have allowed someone to infiltrate it for so long without discovering them was a disgrace.

The Sand Hidden ninjas were in high spirits. Many of them had gathered in the center of the camp to celebrate the results they had achieved that day. Their offensive had been fierce, and they had advanced thirty kilometers in a single push.

Among the thirty-three jade ornaments, more than twenty were exquisite masterpieces of fine craftsmanship. Each was worth around five million gold coins. To make matters even more astonishing, more than ten of them had been carved from immortal-grade jade, each containing a faint trace of elemental power and worth at least ten to twenty million gold coins.

“How... how could this be!”

All the youths flushed scarlet. The thing that had troubled them for so long turned out not to be a problem at all.

Everyone agreed that the place chosen by Liu Qingqing was indeed ideal for pitching tents, so they began working without the slightest hesitation.

As for the infighting within the company, Wei Xiaodong decided that he would no longer concern himself with it. He only needed to do his own job well.

However, no one had taken action yet. The City of Lava had not opened, after all, and all the clans were waiting for the major families to conduct their tests. If the drop rate truly proved terrifyingly high, every clan was prepared to pledge allegiance to Chen Feng.

“Yes, I’m human. Who are you?” Chen Feng asked, narrowing his eyes.

Kaxia froze, then rolled her eyes at him.

Ding Zhan, Feng Ling’er, the Nine-Ghost Perfected Man, and Jian Xuanfu were surrounded by the Three-Light Blade Talismans, while the Black-Bone Skeleton Monster was still recovering from its injuries. None of them could move, and they were locked in a tense standoff.

Shi Miyuan smiled as he pulled a sheet of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Xuan Zeng. Xuan Zeng took it and saw that it indeed declared the enthronement of the emperor’s nephew, Gui Cheng, as crown prince, with his name changed to Yun. It also bore the imperial jade seal. However, the handwriting on the document was not the emperor’s personal approval. It had been written by Shi Miyuan.

“When Zhao Min wakes up, have someone notify her. You should also return to Floating Cloud Peak and make your preparations. Three days from now, I’ll take all of you with me!” Lin Yue said.

They had grown smarter as well. Instead of confronting the columns of water head-on, they sought ways around them, charging forward whenever an opening appeared.

Xia Shihao finally recovered his senses just as the corpse crawled out. It opened its hideous maw and viciously lunged toward his lower body.

Nangong Xuan had never imagined that she would marry so young, let alone marry Xiao Ling as part of a political alliance. It was something she had never once considered.

Luo Mengyao’s car stopped in front of a villa in the suburbs. She seemed to be in an excellent mood; after getting out, she walked into the garden with a radiant smile.

Qiu Li looked at the man kneeling on the ground. “Do you know what happens to people who disturb my sleep?”

She patted his face with the knife in her hand.

Originally, no one had paid any attention to Zhuo Zijin. However, with the help of Nalan Churou, most of the servants still treated her with outward respect, chiefly because they feared being scolded by Nalan Churou.

The ministers fell silent. No one said a word. At a time like this, anything they said would be wrong. Whether to fight or surrender was not a decision they ought to make.

By the end, Xiao Xiao began acting coquettishly. The moment she did, Xiao Lin had no resolve left and immediately surrendered.

“I’m not going home tonight. I’m going back to the company.”

Pei Junhao had decided to give Zhihan the cold shoulder for two days and make her apologize to him first.

When the car finally stopped, Zhang Feng crawled out of it with his head askew. He was covered in blood and trembled all over as he stared at the terrifying Li Hao.

Wu Kai’s condition frightened Gao Tiantian badly. She grabbed Li Daniu by the arm and stared at Wu Kai with a grim expression.
