Bonus Chapter 131: Feng Kun

What Yang Yu said did carry some weight. If Qin Yu's Huayu Technology truly had no way to withstand Apple's acquisition, Qin Yu, as a Chinese man, would undoubtedly agree to the condition. However, the current Qin Yu had no need for that.

Kilns used for making porcelain are vastly different from those used for firing pottery; their construction is exceedingly meticulous and costly, requiring fire-resistant clay capable of withstanding temperatures of several thousand degrees Celsius, which involves an exorbitant expense.

Right at that moment, after holding it back for a long time, He Yiming finally erupted! With a sudden thrust of his waist and abdomen, he retracted the ball with his right hand, pulling it right back against his chest! Everyone thought the purpose of He Yiming's move was to shake off James's defense, but if that was the case, how was He Yiming supposed to shoot?

When the clock struck nine-thirty, someone would invariably come in to report on the work. This had always been the routine: if the Marquis was present, the report was made to him; if the Marquis was absent, it was made to the Second Madam.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials came to their senses simultaneously and bowed in unison: "We congratulate the Great King on obtaining such a fiercely valiant and excellent son."

"Search everywhere thoroughly and check if there are any hidden mechanisms here!" Ji Meng issued the command, and the Yinshan soldiers set to work busily inside the gloomy mansion.

Although his strength might still fall short of a Tier 4 raider, within Tier 3, he was more than capable of running amok at will. Skullcrawlers of this sort were at most of Tier 3 caliber, making them an absolute breeze to slaughter.

Because the system would continue to prompt the user after booting up in an infinite loop, ordinary users could not even change the operating system, as the intelligent core would automatically lock the BIOS startup item on the motherboard whenever the computer restarted.

Without any superfluous nonsense, Mo Fan flicked his hand, and a faint red glow covered his right palm. A weapon that had not been wielded for a long time materialized in his hand.

Shen Lang had visited the granary in Palembang, and the grain stored inside was only enough to sustain them for half a month. There was still some time before the autumn harvest, which would not yield results until July or August. Crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, sugarcane, and bananas would successively hit the market then, supplementing Palembang's deficiencies.

It was not the first time he had dealt with Chang Guanyan, and the man still had some understanding of Chang Guanyan's temperament. Since the latter said there was no problem, he simply let him have his way.

"He has just returned to the estate and is heavily injured into the bargain—what courtyard does he think he has? He is currently sharing a courtyard with Chancellor Song, in the second room from the left on the westernmost row. Hurry up and go, and make sure you don't blunder into the wrong room." Ah Jiu waved his hand to dismiss him.

Su Mu's weakness was his sworn brothers, but he had five such brothers, every single one of them possessing extraordinary strength. Who would dare to risk their own life in a test? Would they wager the entire God-Sealing Alliance on it? That was an utter impossibility.

"Ah Jiu, there's no need to rush. I'm back now, and I'll let you hold me to your heart's content," Ning Fei said softly, spreading his arms wide.

Without a second thought, she whirled around and lunged forward, using her own body to shield against the wolf's head. Seeing that she was about to be mauled by the wolf, she closed her eyes in despair.

"It is our absolute honor that you have all come to the Mount Shu Sect. Please forgive us if there is anything lacking in our hospitality! Shan-er, instruct the disciples to serve the dishes!"

A golden evening gown, simple and smooth in its lines, shimmered faintly with a golden luster under the illumination of the lights.

"Sister Ziyan, I have matters to attend to and must take my leave first. I shall come to visit you another day." Jiu Zhu, disliking the two of them and feeling that she had stayed long enough, noted that it was getting late—Wei Xin might already be back.

"Ha! You can't escape either!" Lu Fei immediately gloated with schadenfreude. Jiang Min shot an exasperated glare at Lu Fei and, though puzzled, still nodded in accordance with Zhao Xi's words.

The most practical principle throughout the ages was that brute strength must take precedence. While strategies required careful planning, raw strength decided the outcome the moment the parties met.

The primary reason Lin Zhuo adopted this method was that, deep down in his subconscious, he had already grown fearful of He Yu and his companions.

After finishing the adjustments, He Yu gently closed "Tianji," but his fingers paused for a moment before he opened "Tianji" once again.

The villagers had originally thought that Fang Jie was speaking up to help persuade Pu Cao, but to their astonishment, he announced that he, too, was leaving. This came as one wave after another; everyone was struck completely dumb with shock.

Though the doors had been shut for a few days, business at the shop was remarkably good. By around ten in the morning, more than half the seats were already occupied. He Gen and Zhao Santian were busy attending to customers, Mian Tao was handling the accounts, while Huhetao, Mi Tao, and He Lizhong were in the back hall.

"Just you wait and see! The humiliation of today, I will repay a hundredfold in the future!" Mu Wutian felt as though his heart had been trampled by a thousand beasts. Ling Yun bullied him, subordinates bullied him, and soon enough, any stray cat or dog would dare to crap on his neck.

Li Tianyang's lingering anger had not yet dissipated, and a raging fire burned fiercely in his gaze, frightening the proprietors present so much that they dared not pause, frantically begging for mercy.

Madam Wei shook her head with a bitter smile, dismissed the group of maidservants, and personally pulled her irritated nephew into the room to talk for a long while. When Fang Jie finally stepped out again, his face had transformed into an expression of ecstatic joy, and he hurried off as if his feet were born of wind.

When Kathy made her inquiry, Liu Ci put forward a rather difficult demand: she wanted to know how the seeds had been lost before she would answer his question.

The rattan vine swayed violently. This time, she was not as lucky as the night before to land right in the dead center of the hot spring; instead, her body plunged into the spring while her left leg slammed against the rocks on the edge.

Yet back then, how could Qin Zhen ever have imagined that this dull piece of wood would be the Crown Prince of the Cloud Country?

Ever since their last meeting, Tu Guo had, under Jing Tai's guidance, secretly investigated the situation in Jizhou. Some places he visited in person, while others involved intelligence reports submitted to him, after which Jing Tai taught him how to analyze and organize them.
