Going Up the Mountain (2)

Since Xiao Chen was paying twenty thousand for just a single room, renting an entire building with a courtyard for a little over twenty thousand was definitely not expensive.

Just when Geer thought she was about to suffocate, the man finally loosened his grip, allowing her to breathe fresh air once more.

Seeing the figure approach, Yanhuang immediately thought, "This is bad," and slapped the person unconscious with a single paw.

After flying for a long time like that, Zhao Qiankun finally recovered from the dizzying spin, steadied his body using the power of the Golden-Winged Great Roc, and hovered above the water surface.

Gu Qi looked to be in his early twenties, but the harsh labor at the mine had weathered him to look much older than his peers.

Glaring at him with boiling anger, she tried her best to display the stifled frustration in her heart, but within seconds, the corners of her eyes turned red. Xi Cao felt a sourness rise in her nose, and though she tried desperately to hold back her tears, they eventually welled up and blurred her vision.

Collapsing flat onto the ground, he covered his mouth in agony. Looking down, he saw a pool of blood and thought with utter despair: It's over, I didn't knock out my front teeth, did I?

Ever since the recognized leader of Scythia, Zeboist, was defeated and killed in battle, this loose tribal alliance had returned to a state of mutual warfare and scattered sand. Each region acted on its own, and various chieftains proclaimed themselves lords, fencing off pastures and territories. They could no longer muster a unified force to resist the fierce offensives of Macedonia.

"Was it the Crown Princess who ordered you to come?" Su Cheng could not conceal the agitation in his heart. As the descendant of a criminal, he had almost caused the Crown Princess to lose her life—a crime punishable by the execution of all nine familial relations. Yet not only did the Crown Princess show leniency and spare his life, but she also gave him a chance to showcase his talents, making him wonder if it was all real.

Rising early that morning and finding the weather exceptionally warm, he wanted to invite Fan Lihua to go on a spring excursion in the outskirts. Unexpectedly, several officials came to pay visits early in the morning. With no other choice, he endured the small talk for a while before hastily serving tea to see them off.

Su Jiang came before the raised dais to pay his respects and said, "This humble subordinate Su Jiang of Tujue pays respects to Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Tang." Li Shimin replied, "Rise. The envoy may be seated." An attendant moved an embroidered stool forward, and Su Jiang took his seat.

"Well, tell me after you find a job. But I guarantee you won't succeed." With that, he planted a kiss right on Xuanxuan's red lips and left for work.

"That Wuji cannot be left alive any longer. I'll leave him to Emperor Xiao to deal with. Qin is now preparing to lead the army back to the Blue Ridge Kingdom." Having completed his mission, it was time for him to return.

"Since Madam Qin is unwilling to admit it, then I shall have Wuli brought before you to convince you beyond a doubt, which will also do justice to my seventh imperial brother." He refused to believe that she could stir up any more trouble after seeing Wuli.

"Purple gold!" Looking at the glowing purple mass of gold, Lin Chen shook his head with helpless amusement. Such a large piece of purple gold could be exchanged for a vast amount of real gold. Coincidentally, he was short on money, so he accepted it without standing on ceremony.

"Hu Dong, why are you being so distant? Have you forgotten we used to be the best of friends?" Xiangxiang said with a smile.

"Let her go? I did let her go, but she remains inside my mind. How do you expect me to let go? How can I possibly let it go? I cannot." Xiao Yiheng said once again in agony.

With that, Wang Tian struck the ground with a palm, blasting out a deep pit into which he tossed all the corpses. Then, rubbing his hands together, a stark white "Infinite Heavenly Flame" descended into the pit, and within the blink of an eye, the corpses were completely burned to ashes.

After finally getting through on Fu Sinian's phone, she bit her lip tightly, waiting for the ultimate verdict.

Nemesis was not naive enough to think that anyone who could break into the imperial palace at such a time and possess such incredible methods was merely here as a guest.

Those ten individuals were faring poorly as well, especially the few directly struck by Xie Fan's sword beam. The immense impact force caused their star oceans to churn violently like boiling oil.

Yang Zheng and the others watched the surveillance footage clearly and were in no rush. They had booked five rooms, and the intruders had entered one of them. Checking the rooms one by one took time. They silently watched the computer screens and waited patiently. Before long, the three individuals entered another room to investigate.

Li Lingling watched as she drove up in a car with four rings, which looked high-end, atmospheric, and classy. At that time, she had no idea what the four rings represented, so she specifically searched for it online, leaving her with a lingering sense of deep admiration for Han Xu.

They were distributed across various territories of the tribe to assist with farming and construction, or organized into formidable ogre units.

By then, the sword beam emitted by the old man's left hand had already reached Xie Fan's chest, leaving Xie Fan with no time to completely evade it.

"I think the three of you are old foxes, and you've reached some sort of tacit agreement, even if you haven't realized it yourselves," Gao Shou said petulantly.

"How would we know unless we try? I'm not short on cash. Spending ten or twenty million for a shot at this is nothing. If it fails, it fails; what business never fails? What if it succeeds? Wouldn't I make a fortune? What do you say?" Yang Zheng said cheerfully, acting as if money was no object.

Xu Wen hurriedly pulled Mingshan aside, grabbed some white snow from the ground, and vigorously rubbed his face to cleanse it with the icy water. Then, he made him take off his outer garment and exchanged it for his own fur coat.

Having not seen each other for hundreds of years, the first thing that happened upon reuniting was a beating. Ye Shangqiu felt a burning pain on his face, but the moment his gaze met the tears in Xuanfen's eyes, a wave of profound heartache washed over him, and he hastened to coax her gently.
