36 Accountant
Seeing that his fellow villagers had been released, Wang Ermao had no desire to force Atsumi Abe into a corner. The two sides continued their discussion regarding Guan Jinlei’s decision to open the road south of the village.
However, the arrival of the Zi clan had defeated the Moon God tribe, destroyed the former prosperity of the Moon God Valley, and sealed the entire area, leaving it desolate and barren.
For a very long time, Lin Yuming had not thought of his childhood, but today, the feeling was exceptionally vivid.
Once everyone had left, only Su Jinxi and the Old Ghost of a Hundred Herbs remained, and the surroundings began to feel quiet and lonely once more.
Of course, I do not mean that I intend to set sail again. At this time of year, the sea winds blow directly toward the isolated island; even if I had the heart to try, I would be constrained by the environment.
But what was her name? Lin Yuming had no impression of it in his mind. He thought for a moment and suddenly realized that this must be Shen Yuling, the leader of the city-based sales team who had not been present yesterday. Yes, it must be her; only she would dare to be so arrogant.
"Ao'er, did you teach him the Innate Qi?" Gongsun Zhi, equally astonished, could not help but look at Zhou Ao with suspicion.
Just as Zhao Tiechu finished speaking, Ruya’s phone rang again. After answering, Ruya continued to speak in a language that even Victor could not understand.
Although Su Jinxi had learned a little about the situation in the Northern Wing, she was, after all, not a native of this time and space, and her understanding remained limited.
In this era, no one understood Ye Chen better than she did; it was as if she knew exactly what he was looking at.
"My mind is made up. Attack!" After a moment of contemplation, Li Tiancheng finally reached a decision. Xiang Yang’s heart also settled; since Li Tiancheng had agreed to attack, his mission could be considered complete. However, Xiang Yang remained puzzled: given that the Tiance Mansion was so powerful, why on earth had it been defeated by the Holy See of Light?
Before handing over the delivery, the shopkeeper had specifically instructed Ye Feng that the customer who ordered it required the items to be unpacked before delivery, or else they would leave a negative review. Ye Feng naturally complied.
"I gave you a chance earlier to come to me; now, it is my turn." He laid her down on the bed and kissed her back.
They were all Negro slaves who, after consuming the mutagenic drugs provided by the Black Witch, underwent various bizarre transformations. Most turned directly into mindless beast-soul warriors; those who managed to retain their consciousness mutated into grotesque, tumor-ridden monsters, while others, unable to withstand the potency of the drugs, died on the spot.
Among these people, discrimination and even war were rife, with such conflicts present everywhere.
"If you have the strength to talk, you’d be better off saving your breath. Who told you to eat so much?" Ji Wuming was tall but not fat, and he was holding up well, though he felt the atmosphere here was suffocating.
Ever since he took part in the great chaos within the Empire over a decade ago, he had been drifting from place to place. From the provinces of the Empire all the way to fleeing overseas, even as a laborer struggling to make a living, his quiet life had finally been shattered.
Upon hearing Huo Xiu’s explanation, Fang Zhen finally understood why Huo Xiu was so confident.
Pei Chu saw that in the darkness, Lu Xiping had seemingly sat up, his eyes shining as he looked at him, which left Pei Chu feeling somewhat helpless.
After searching the house, Ye Shaokang ran out through a gap on the other side, intending to search another house. However, upon arriving, he discovered that his teammate had already searched it; apart from a canister of gasoline, there was nothing left.
Feng Gaojie felt a stinging, burning pain on his increasingly swollen face, which filled him with a sense of grievance.
Kargath Bladefist hit the nail on the head, pointing out the difficulties the tribe faced in mining, storing, and using the Bloodrock Shards.
Earlier, he had eliminated quite a few people. Before, he wouldn't have dared to even think about such things, but now he found himself looking forward to clashing with other competitors.
The leader of the Mu family’s team, seeing the situation, shouted loudly, trying to stabilize their formation. The man was truly capable; after a few shouts, the Mu family’s team actually managed to hold their ground.
When Ye Xinghe opened his eyes again, it was already noon the next day. He squinted, rubbed his temples with a headache, and then struggled to get up and walk outside the tent.
The moment Xu Wei received the list, he checked to see if Nangong Qian’s team was in their group. As they scanned down, they saw that her team was not there, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt that this was what business was supposed to be like, as he only needed to focus on business matters.
In any case, Xuanyuan Hanshu had decided that once this was over, he would capture Nalan Lan, marry her, and then live out his days as a wealthy man. He could make money, and running around like this was truly too exhausting and dangerous.
From the very beginning, Xuanyuan Hanshu had been training them on how to minimize the noise caused by the army’s movements.
To abandon everything to save the Immortal Spirit Bird, disregarding the lives of all in the realm, was indeed somewhat selfish. But to Xue Hao, the Immortal Spirit Bird had saved him several times; if not for it, he would likely have perished long ago, with no chance to achieve his grand ambitions.
Hearing her say this, Gu Shen truly wanted to pounce on her and strangle her right then and there! No, he should have strangled her the first time he met her! It would have saved him from following her around and taking insults in bits and pieces.
Facing her anger and terror, he smiled wickedly and exhaled a domineering masculine scent against her red lips. The next second, there was a blur, and Su Ge felt her lips being fiercely sealed. She whimpered, but could not utter a complete sound, nor could she push him away.
The third brother also rushed up in a hurry. He had originally thought that with his second brother’s strength, dealing with the enemy before them wouldn't be a problem, but he hadn't expected Zhao Zilan to be such a tough nut to crack—not even the second brother could defeat her.
Su Ge felt a sharp pain in her heart and stared at him in a daze. Gu Shen’s profile, however, remained indifferent. Wisps of smoke drifted around him, and he lowered his head, his slender fingers holding a cigarette, flicking the ash in a casual, carefree manner, appearing completely unperturbed.
"It means nothing. I just think that a place like the Zodiac Gate is not worthy of Sect Master Zhou condescending to stay under its eaves." After putting down his teacup, the man in the black robe picked up another, slowly filled it, but did not drink.
In just over ten seconds, Zhou Bingran had appeared in a dozen different places—above the Pacific Ocean, the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai, the Yanhai Port, and so on. Even though these places were separated by tens or hundreds of kilometers, he was able to traverse the space between them in mere seconds.
