Chapter 34: Deteriorating Relations

Song Qiao was stunned by his reaction, and Shen Ruoxi was clearly caught off guard as well.

No one had expected him to be so cold and ruthless.

Shen Ruoxi had taken the initiative to swallow her pride and seek reconciliation, and it was impossible for him not to realize this. Yet, he had deliberately humiliated her in front of the servants and Song Qiao; it seemed his anger was genuine.

Shen Ruoxi paused for a moment, then walked forward with an impeccable smile.

She...

At two in the morning, Chang Shiren finally went to sleep, only to rise again at six. The assault troops were all in position. With one more day of digging, the tunnel would reach the city walls. Today's combat was essentially a ruse to deceive the opponent, yet it had to be performed as if it were real.

Yan Yuerong had hired Luoye and Shaye based solely on their reputation; she truly had no idea what the sisters' background was.

The roses on the archway looked incredibly vibrant, but they were actually paper flowers conjured by the Three Realms Supermarket. They possessed a unique aura of spiritual flux that was naturally different from ordinary roses.

Wang Fan did not know who was set to take over the Three Realms Supermarket, but he knew the boss was certainly unwilling to let it go. There must be some secret behind the person who could make the boss feel such resentment.

Feline creatures are nocturnal by nature, and Afu was currently in a state of high excitement. Caught off guard by his playmate being snatched away, he let out a milky, high-pitched roar and, teeth bared, lunged toward the feet of Jiang Fenghao.

With a beaming glance at the True Immortal of the Heavenly Court in the sky, he sent a chill straight to the immortal's bones, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

Hai Yuanwang said, "Hero, you saved the goods of my escort agency, and even more importantly, you saved our lives. This great kindness is something we will never forget. Might you be willing to share your name?"

"Your Majesty, I ask, where will the money and grain for forming the New Army come from?" As soon as this question was raised, all the ministers pricked up their ears.

Qin Yu moved without a sound, and at this moment, he held his breath completely. For a time, Zhen Xu, who was inside the room, did not even realize that Qin Yu was just outside.

They believed the Cavaliers would have a smooth path ahead. Xiao Sa had been demolished by James on both ends of the floor, and the only variable, Nate Robinson, had been exposed for what he truly was. What else did the Knicks have left?

It was the new year for the Han people. Shangguan You was a Han himself, and any official business he preferred to leave for the following year. He bowed to see off the Crown Prince, then, supported by an attendant, headed toward the front office while singing aloud.

The Noble Consort turned a deaf ear and a blind eye—mostly because she heard such things too often, day and night. In the past, his words might have frightened her, but now she was completely accustomed to them and no longer took them seriously.

The elders said nothing, but the impact of Han Hua's words on the inner disciples was unimaginable. Even Zi Chen stood there with a gloomy expression, unable to utter a single word.

Zi Chen was slightly startled. With his miraculous black-and-white perception, he naturally knew the moment Tong Dafu’s gaze swept over from nearby. He had intended to warn Shi Shangzao, but to his surprise, Shi Shangzao’s reaction was not slow at all; he had already sensed it.

Or was it that they didn't hold Balang in any regard at all, having long since prepared to win the siege and take over Balang’s stronghold?

After the two men died, the phantom above Yu Qiao’s head changed from its previously unapproachable state to something gentle. It seemed, just as the square-faced man had said, that the inheritance of the Sacred Thought had been activated.

However, was Tang Ming’s motive merely to escape their relationship? In truth, that was not the case. Escaping their entanglement, avoiding the spotlight of the Seoul prosecutors—there was a deeper reason hidden within. The corners of Tang Ming’s mouth curled up; everything remained unsaid.

By the time he realized what was happening, Chu Er had already stepped forward to support Wang Jingzhi’s body. Xie Du felt a strange sense of unease; how could his body be so incredibly weak?
