Chapter 64: As Natural as an Old Married Couple

Jiang Jingming, whom Wei Qing was making a fuss to see, was at that moment reporting for work to Xu Cheng.

"The other party seems quite sophisticated, and it might implicate several individuals. Furthermore, they are extremely vigilant and even seem to possess some of our internal information, which is why they have eluded discovery for so long. Our investigations have yielded no results; every time we get halfway through, the clues inexplicably vanish."

Jiang Jingming shared what he knew along with his suspicions.

"No, certain ingredients for this potion are extremely precious, and some even originate from other worlds. Every batch used diminishes the supply. A significant portion has already been consumed in experiments, and as for the remainder, we'll be lucky if we can successfully brew a few more doses," Liu Xing shook his head and said.

Today is Sunday, and while a single-day weekend was still the norm, senior high school students couldn't even expect that much rest.

Ling Yue was appalled; she wanted to dodge, but found herself powerless. Her body rapidly deteriorated, shattered, and vanished without a trace.

Failing to control her strength, she pressed down too hard. "Hiss," she drew a sharp breath as a wave of pain washed over her, and she let out a soft cry.

A wave of emotion, akin to a cool spring flowing into his chest—icy, crisp, and refreshing—almost brought him to the verge of tears.

The stands between the away fans and the home fans were left empty, cordoned off on both sides with wire netting. Two rows of security personnel were stationed in each section to keep the home and away supporters separated.

Fortunately, the gazes of Shen Heng and that man did not linger on their side for long before turning away.

Following the direction of the dripping liquid, Pew instinctively looked up, and his expression grew increasingly ominous.

Actually, their West Village was quite decent, far superior to other villages in more ways than one. Yet, it happened to be right next to East Chen Village; compared side by side, even their own five-room tiled brick house appeared three shades inferior.

She had spent the entire morning standing aside, casting sarcastic glances and secretly praying that not a single item would be sold. Yet Ruitang treated her with such kindness, leaving her deeply ashamed.

Glug... Startled, Su Xinlan actually swallowed the contents of her mouth, her face turning pale with shock as she bolted toward the restroom.

"Heh, but Boss, you actually look quite sexy like this." Takeda Tadano only noticed Thunder's appearance after Thunder mentioned it, and chuckled right behind him.

Fukuda Meiko and Kelly also ran over to stand behind Thunder and the others, while Suchart and Kim Jong-hui tightly shielded them to protect them from stray bullets should a conflict break out.

No one spoke. Even breathing seemed suppressed, as if no one dared to make a sound. The entire area before the Anqing Palace fell into an unprecedented stillness.

He sensed the changes in his body and discovered that although he was only at the first layer of Qi Condensation, he was already stronger than he had been at the fifth or sixth layer. This strength was not merely physical or muscular; the volume of his vital blood was also far beyond what he could achieve during his previous time in the Qi Condensation stage.

A trace of rosy warmth slowly emerged atop his pale complexion, and his breathing gradually shifted from faint to steady and even.

Everyone around fell silent once more. After a moment, almost simultaneously, they spoke up—some naming Vice Patriarch Sun Fei, others naming Vice Patriarch Sun Qiming, yet not a single person mentioned Sun Wuji, the legitimate head of the Sun family.

"Old Huang! I still have two flash-bangs here. Give our captain some cover!" Kim Jong-hui tossed one of the two flash-bangs in his hand to Huang Yunfei.

As it turned out, during the time Brother Ying was away, Uncle Xing had taken over the management of a casino. Within two days of Uncle Xing stepping in, a series of incidents had occurred: someone had been cheating, and someone else had broken the established rules.

What on earth had she, Swan, done to offend the deities in the heavens, for them to play such a cruel joke on her? If she was destined to deal exclusively with such neurotic people, would she ever be able to live a normal life?

She finally understood the meaning behind his deeply suggestive look earlier. Without him, she would have had to step on the coachman's back to alight from the carriage—it seemed she had been pegged as someone capricious and fickle.
