Volume 1, Chapter 38: It’s Her!

As noon approached, the staff began to slack off, and a few people started whispering about the rumors.

Yang Lele tidied up her desk and asked in a low voice, "Have you still not found the person behind all this?"

"It’s someone I cannot afford to provoke." Jiang Mengdie pulled her hands away from her face. In the dim light, Yue Ming could see that her eyes were bright, yet filled with a profound sense of dullness; the brightness was merely on the surface, while the dullness betrayed the fear lurking within.

Seeing her emotional state, the others turned back, their gazes softening with sympathy. They instinctively stepped aside to clear a path for her.

This was perhaps a natural trait among the Chinese: once they had wealth, besides the desire to return home in glory, they sought to acquire more land and property. Every Chinese person harbored a "landlord dream"; if they couldn't realize it in the Qing Empire, achieving it in America was a fine alternative.

"Really?" Feng Ming’s eyes lit up, and he broke into a grin. His face, otherwise quite handsome, was contorted so broadly that his eyebrows seemed to vanish into his eyes, a sight that left Feng Yue feeling deeply reflective.

After finishing her call with He Ziye, Huo Xueyan carefully inspected Ai Mu's luggage. Upon confirming that the girl had truly brought nothing with her—noting that some of the clothes she left behind were quite expensive—she breathed a quiet sigh of relief. In that case, the girl would likely return, wouldn't she?

If one possesses only the strength of a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, one is not a Saint. To hold the status or reputation of a Saint without the corresponding power is merely to become a puppet of heaven and earth.

He was using this method to warn her—to warn her to be obedient, or else by the next morning, the contract they had signed would be laid out before her family.

After Tokugawa Tateyan overthrew the Emperor’s rule, he wiped out the entire Imperial line to eliminate any future trouble. Consequently, the Three Sacred Treasures lost their legitimacy. Bai Qi had managed to secure them for Shikoku Island almost without any effort.

Repin was taken aback by Kempf’s sudden, nonsensical question just before signing. He froze for a moment, but his mind was entirely focused on how to get rid of Kempf; if he didn't secure that signature, he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep a wink tonight.

Most of these spiritual herbs were harvested by the Demon race to be refined into toxins and applied to their weapons. Combined with their incredibly long growth and propagation cycles, they were already scarce within the Corpse-Extinction Mountain Range.

Lin Qing smiled with innocent purity; whenever Fang Tianqi made a request, she would agree without a second thought.

As the Golden Phoenix Flame drew near, the flickering flame reacted as if facing a formidable enemy, instantly expanding several times over, roaring and surging. The temperature atop the mountain peak soared in an instant.

He sought out Dr. Zhu once again, proposing to borrow some equipment from the second basement level to conduct a comprehensive physical examination and data analysis.

Years of life as a thief had granted Zheng Dao a unique sense of danger; once the unease took root in his heart, he could not shake it off.

"You are right; I should repay you." After hearing what Shen Xiuying claimed to be the truth of the past, Nan Sheng no longer had any desire to explain anything to her.

This question probed the extent of Consort Qiong’s understanding of court affairs and her intentions. Without careful deliberation, it would be difficult to provide a complete answer.

However, since the system told me to prevent Bai Yue’s descent into darkness, the outcome will likely be better than my original plan. I shall take it one step at a time.

Seeing this, Ye Mu did not hesitate. Golden wings manifested behind his back, and with a powerful flap, he surged toward the sky, tossing the spiritual fruits and herbs in his hand toward the direction of the pool.

Therefore, he mobilized every connection at his disposal to source special ingredients for the Tang family.

The cave entrance ahead was already in sight when suddenly the scene shuddered. The aircraft swayed violently, as if struck by a heavy hammer. The sensor operator beside him cried out in alarm, "My God! We’ve been hit by an unidentified object!"
