Chapter Sixty-One: The Promise

“All right, if you have suitable candidates, you can refer them to me—there’s a finder’s fee of two yuan per person. I’ll be leaving now, so keep an eye on things here for the time being. Make sure to tidy up; construction starts tomorrow, and we can’t have the place looking so filthy.”

Shu Yiming glanced at the time; it was already getting late.

He had something very important to do next.

Not long after...

A chair that could sway, that could talk, steeped in an ancient and mysterious history... All of this made Yuan Zhenxia feel dizzy and overwhelmed. When he opened the door to his own residence, his mind was in a daze and even his steps were unsteady.

“Your friend? Are you willing to become an enemy of the Lin family of the Imperial Capital for the sake of a friend?” Lin Zihao asked.

The second theory is that mermaids might be another variant of the great apes. Before a baby is born, it lives in amniotic fluid; the moment it is born, it can swim in water. Thus, the existence of an ape-like creature capable of surviving in water is not so strange.

Once everything was in place, he caught a glimpse from afar of Sirius’s silhouette emerging in the dusk. This, too, had become one of Duan Tianxing’s habits lately—he never felt at ease until he had gone out to patrol each new place himself.

Moreover, Yuan Zhenxia immediately realized that this winding path led up the mountain and cleverly concealed the houses built on the slopes, achieving a more tranquil effect architecturally—clearly the result of careful design.

Besides, this place was already far removed from the string of giant stepping stones that travelers used to cross the blazing red wasteland on both shores. There shouldn’t be any trouble here. Even if a lost demon stumbled upon them, seeing the magma destroyer at Doro’s side would surely scare off any ill-intentioned intruder.

“Young master! I understand. I will personally handle this matter now,” Wu Hu replied respectfully over the phone.

Seeing that Chen Ying was already deeply anesthetized, Wu Kai immediately instructed Lin Qinshi, “Qinshi! I’m going to change and disinfect. You need to use alcohol to clean off all the plasters from Chen Ying’s body right away.” With that, Wu Kai left the operating room.

“Second, since we want everything to converge, we must provoke all our targets. The commotion must at least alarm my own sect and stir up trouble between both sides, causing friction. At the same time, the one that Mister Bixiu seeks must also be drawn in. Only then can we fish in troubled waters.”

In addition, Long Jie bought two illuminated communication headsets from William, with a range of fifteen kilometers.

After saying this, Jin Shimin earnestly knelt and pleaded, “Dear wife, give me some money so I can go and have one more round of fun.”

Li Meng nodded. She was both excited and nervous, her fear diluted by anticipation. Truth be told, she had never seen the extremely rare mutated spiritual roots of ice, snow, fog, and cloud.

She had thought her father would also send her to Jiangnan, but after yesterday’s and today’s morning court, he never mentioned the matter again, nor did he discuss anything about Jiangnan with her.

She was standing on high ground, right at the center of the bulletin board. Without a ladder, it was impossible to climb up.

[Starfruit]: A wondrous fruit that can awaken a special ability in whoever eats it! The most precious fruit of the Moko tribe.

“Second Chief, if you are unwilling to go down the mountain to practice medicine, I won’t force you. I only hope you’ll sell me the herbs from the village. I’m willing to pay double,” Yu Wangfei pleaded, looking earnestly at the Second Chief.

“Thank you for giving way!” With a light laugh, Xiang Yi darted into the formation. The Panshan Seal that had been hovering over Ouyang Xisheng’s head vanished in an instant, clearly retrieved just in time by Wu Dabiao at the gates of the Luotian Immortal Palace.

Qin Jiangyue’s hearty toast delighted everyone. Once more, the crowd raised their cups, and after draining them, burst into cheerful laughter, their faces flushed with happiness.

“Leader Wu, we’ve come for two reasons. First, it’s been a long time since we ventured out, and we haven’t congratulated you yet, so we’re here to offer our best wishes. Second, we want to rebuild the Xuanyin Sect. We’d like to know if you have any instructions for us to follow,” Jin Shihuan, shrewd and courteous, said with great politeness.
