Chapter 150: Departure

Smithson felt the warmth of Shu Yiming’s hospitality, yet he remained uneasy. He had come to discuss a business partnership; the glass piling up in their factory was stagnant, and if not sold quickly, storage would become a massive problem. Their region’s climate was extremely humid, making the storage requirements for glass incredibly strict and the associated costs astronomical—it simply wasn't worth it. Only by selling the inventory could they convert it into cash, and only then...

However, based on the data he had recently collected regarding day and night cycles, seasonal changes, and continental temperature shifts, there were even more inconceivable facts awaiting verification.

"Is this the path you were talking about?" Li Shuang and Ban Diaochun looked at each other, staring at Xu Mengkong in disbelief.

His followers drank merrily, but he could not bring himself to join in—nor did he want to, as he disliked alcohol.

Nan Mu and Nan He had been raised under her watchful eye. To prevent Nan He from repeating the same mistakes, she had brought her out of Wanjiang, and then, to evade pursuit, she had sealed her soul within the body of Bo Yanhe for eight years. It was only a few days ago that she had finally summoned the soul and returned it to her own body.

At this moment, Yanyun City was in a precarious state. Nearly five hundred thousand troops were trapped within the walls, while hundreds of thousands of players worked alongside the military to hold the line. The moment the Xiaoyao Empire’s fleet docked, Lao Jiu dispatched the War Wolf Legion to rush to Yanyun City with all possible speed.

When it came down to it, the spiritual cultivation technique provided by the cat-raising system currently in Wu Ren’s possession was merely one among thousands.

Consequently, Comrade Chen Xu, who had just spent five hundred rounds of verbal sparring with debtors at the office, now had to hang his head in shame as he accompanied his son to have a "cordial exchange" and "in-depth discussion" with the school’s teachers and administrators, offering profound reflection and apologies.

On her twentieth day in Tu City, A-Quan stood upon the city walls, gazing at Uesugi Kenshin’s positions at Butani. She spoke to Ii Naotora, who was standing beside her, looking out into the distance.

Seeing this, Nan He knew her initial conjecture was correct: he truly did view her as nothing more than a plaything.

Looking back, she saw Taozi walking softly toward her, her bright azure eyes fixed on the black cat sleeping on Wu Ren’s lap.

Although they were nothing more than ruins, Chu Fengmian could still discern from their architectural style that these remnants were different from those of the Crystal Martial Arts Era, and indeed, unlike the architectural style of any era known to him.

At the same time, he spotted a stranger; it seemed that they were not the only ones who had been pressed into service.

But just because there were no powerful figures overseeing things now did not mean there wouldn't be in the future. The key was how to buy enough time to develop himself.

"Impossible! You are only at the late Nascent Soul stage; how could you possibly kill the Black Rhinoceros? You are lying!" the Black Ghost Tiger roared. It simply could not believe that Su Chen was capable of killing the Black Rhinoceros, for in its eyes, Su Chen’s cultivation level was so low that he was no more than an ant.

Su Chen could easily sink shots of far greater difficulty than this; how could he possibly miss such a basic one?

Mo Ruhui did not even feel pain; he maintained his expression from the previous second, with the reflection of Yuan Zhen captured in his pupils.

Under the vision of the Byakugan, the body—which still appeared to be Eve’s, so slender and delicate—contained an increasingly vast amount of chakra.

Ye Tianhao and the others had been flying for about two hours when they suddenly encountered a massive cluster of mist within the giant void of the starry sky. The mist was chaotic and obscured the view of what lay within, yet from time to time, seven-colored rays of light burst forth, accompanied by faint, auspicious glows that radiated a mysterious aura, covering a radius of several hundred miles.

"Humph, that’s more like it. I don't care what you say—if you dare to bully me, don't think about getting into my bed!" Liu Qingyan huffed.
