Chapter 45 Be a Good Girl and Obey

It took Zhou Yuan only twenty minutes to drive to the Jiangnan Restaurant. Pushing open the door, his eyes immediately fell upon Xia Xiyin and her companions sitting in a prominent spot.

Glancing around, he spotted Guan Hanzhong seated with a woman, eating with great relish.

Zhou Yuan walked straight toward Xia Xiyin's table.

On the other side, Mu Jiujian, Yun Huan, and Ye Mingyue were all defeated in the face of the formidable combat prowess of the Four Saints, ending up trapped within a thunder prison by Beitang Xian'er.

"Then we won't stand on ceremony!" Liang Jianxiong pulled Xu Fei down to sit, purposely nudging Xu Fei closer to Shi Hui.

Before long, all four low-grade magical treasures took shape: a small bell, a ruler, a hairpin, and a gourd.

Today's trip had truly been worthwhile. Wen Yiming had witnessed the true style of Hong Kong experts, where the most traditional master-apprentice etiquette was preserved, along with the most formal trade regulations and a group of collectors who truly loved antiques. No wonder it had become the art trading center of Asia.

The moment Situ Xiang's voice rang out, accompanied by the descending pressure of the third tier of the Dao Principle Realm, the entire venue instantly fell dead silent.

"Rubbish." Ji Jingxi dropped a rare swear word, intending to fiercely denounce the culprit. But realizing she was comparing this to the days when she had lost her mind in agony, his heart softened once more despite himself.

"Grade A!" Hearing this, Wen Yiming recalled the unfathomable depth of Daokong, feeling a massive shock to his core. The Wheel of Samsara?

"What are Archido and the Mouth Worm?" Seeing that the doctor had no intention of stopping, Shi Hui had no choice but to interrupt him.

"Why lose your temper just because you're going?" She originally wanted to say a few more words, but seeing that Lu Jue was genuinely angry, she swallowed her words and obediently got down from the carriage.

Ouyang Ying'er sat in her office, pressing her fingers together to gently massage her temples. She hadn't seen Liu Ming for two days, and she had no idea what he had been busy with during this time, or whether he had lent a hand in pushing the company toward delisting.

Unable to figure it out, she simply stopped thinking about it. Judging by the current situation, that cluster of energy was behaving reasonably well and didn't affect her actions or the circulation of her vital qi, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

As Meng Que listened, he felt that something was amiss with the entire situation. He pondered, "Could something major have happened?" Abandoning the thought of calling out to Guo Meimei, he quietly followed behind them, continuing to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Master." Just as Duan Ke stepped out of the elevator, she saw Tongtong looking relaxed as she sat atop the head of a robot—which happened to be Number 36, the very one she had noticed earlier.

Hera Mir struggled slightly, though not with much force. Once Avis released her, she blushed and murmured a word of thanks.

Though so many years had passed, everything here remained exactly the same. Aside from being covered in dust and filled with decay and desolation, nothing else had changed at all.

"You've got to be kidding me?" Hearing this news abruptly, Jin Yi was instantly dumbfounded. He had originally thought that upon reaching Penglai, he could seek out the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers to settle a wish of his own and make up for the dying regret of the Golden Boy, but it now seemed he had made the trip in vain.

"What? Is it not enough?" Seeing Bende's expression, the Third Elder assumed he was being insatiable, and a burst of anger flared in his heart.

"Brother Ai, I already promised Ningxiang today that I would spend time properly with her and not do any work. If anything concerning me comes up later, no matter what it is, please help me decline it." Duan Ke's state of mind was somewhat turbulent at the moment, and he failed to notice the strange look Ai Hanjun was displaying.

"Mr. Albert is indeed a reasonable man. Your words will be reported truthfully to our minister." Feeling that her mission was accomplished, Duan San smiled sweetly, revealing a hint of lazy charm. However, Albert was in a state of utter turmoil and was sitting in the back seat, so he missed this lovely sight.
