Chapter 55: Stealing Grain

Su Xiaoyun caught a glimpse of him furtively glancing around and narrowed her eyes. She saw him crouch down and pull out a bag of rice from the cabinet, then hurriedly stuff it into the bag. Her eyes darkened—was it really necessary to take that much rice? Could it be stolen? She deliberately spoke up, “Zhou Xuejun, what good things are you hiding?” Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuejun shuddered.

I could easily unlock these handcuffs myself; even without my lock-picking skills, a simple pull with both hands would snap them. But that’s not my true plan.

At that moment, the Red-faced Tiger and General Fan Yuntong of the Dragon Soaring Army completed a non-engagement blockade against the second wave of Chu troops landing, and had arrived at the only passage from the Danfu River into Huanan Mountain—the Longxi Pass.

“How do you feel?” the Holy Sovereign asked. Ye Zhen knew this matter would inevitably involve the Holy Sovereign again. But there was nothing to be done; he accepted it, resolving to hold on through tonight.

The hotel was locatable via navigation. Ye Zhen went straight there after finishing up around five o’clock. When he arrived, the Fuzhou branch of the hotel had not yet received any news or notification from the Qida Hotel. Ye Zhen called again, pressing twice within ten minutes, after which the other side promptly addressed his issue.

Baji Quan is inherently fierce and unmatched, while Tai Chi emphasizes using an opponent’s force against them, relying on one’s own disadvantage to counter their advantage—which is not the act of a fool.

“Lankun, for someone like the Fatty, his travel bag should contain a medical kit. Show it to him. I’ll go wash the clothes.” Ye Zhen carried the clothes down. The water wasn’t deep—probably about one point four meters—and very clear. Still, Ye Zhen was cautious and didn’t dare to wade in, opting to wash near the water’s edge instead.

Only then did he remember that, fearing they might discover him, he had secretly placed a “thing” in the water.

After washing up, Song Hu went in to replace Uncle Li. Uncle Li wasn’t very sleepy and wanted to go out to buy breakfast, planning to wake Li Tingmo along the way.

“Thank you, Doctor Su,” A Cheng said as he took the medicine, glanced at Ming Lou, then went into the room to carry Ming Fan out, afterward returning with Ming Lou.

Ye Zhen decided not to discuss the matter further, including after regrouping with the main forces. After washing and a simple breakfast, the two prepared to continue their journey.

When Lu Jin spoke these words to the white-haired elder, it wasn’t shouted but communicated through their consciousness.

No one noticed that she had an extra arm and leg—how could her charm be so invincible?

Leslie Ishania covered her mouth, watching Fei Fan convulse on the ground, faint wisps of smoke swirling around him.

The Zhou family’s combat troops had been pulled out to train together with the Plum Wine unit—what else was there to say?

At this moment, Sikong Xi noticed that Yi Yu was holding a very long fishing net in his other hand, likely hidden by the grass after being placed on the ground, which was why he hadn’t seen it clearly before.

Feng Pingzhi’s tone was initially harsh, but after uttering a word, she felt it was wrong—after all, they were now in a position of seeking help. She softened her tone but still spoke as if others owed her millions.

A bearded man said, “Hold on, we’ll take Zhang Xiao to the hospital once we catch him! Charge!” and then ignored the matter.

If not for his identity being exposed, out of respect for Lin He, nothing would have happened.

Zhang Xiao looked her over again—her figure was truly captivating. He rarely saw such charm. “If, if you were single, I’d really want to invite you to a hotel, but, but unfortunately you have a husband.” Sweat broke out on Zhang Xiao’s forehead.

How to respond to that? Offending one side was impossible, but offending the other was even more so. Within half a minute, half the intoxication had worn off.

Sun Hongying nodded toward Yue Longtian, also with a grateful look. If it hadn’t been for Yue Longtian and Yun Xiaoxiao today, she didn’t know what she would have done.

After taking off her light green leather armor, the elf showered and changed into a white swordsman’s outfit. Her long hair, reaching her hips, was simply tied back with a headband. The delicate, charming face was flushed from the shower, and the faint fragrance she emitted startled Yan Fei as he entered.

Upon hearing Luo Yixuan’s words, Luo Yan immediately turned and glared fiercely at her. Frightened, Luo Yixuan shrank her head and pulled up the hood of her sweatshirt to cover herself.

After Dongfang Yi heard Luo Yan’s words, his expression darkened. He couldn’t guarantee that his family’s rejection wouldn’t hurt Yiyi.

“Are you okay?” Mi Duo, gripping the steering wheel, glanced sideways at Yu Han’s pale, ghastly face and asked with concern.

Chu Tianxiong thought for a moment. Given their current state, they indeed needed closure, so he nodded.

“Auntie, this is the Southern Zhou Kingdom.” Chu Tian nervously took a sip of tea, his eyes full of unspoken fear and worry.

Dongfang Yi sat on the sofa with a low, oppressive aura, silently listening to Assistant Chen’s report. Luo Yixuan sat beside him, terrified, wishing she could flee.

The grand household rooms were a row of finely decorated suites. Depending on the investment amount, the decoration and furnishings varied, ranging from four-person rooms to singles. Trading stocks here required a minimum account balance of at least three million yuan. This was the area Chu Tianxiong focused on most.

I don’t know what kind of help someone like him would need from me. But since he asked, I gave my promise. There’s no turning back from that.

In Fang Xin’s memory, after he lost consciousness, he clearly saw Zhang Wu and others nervously rushing to his location. But upon awakening, the person beside him was Bing Ling, which puzzled Fang Xin.

“I’m sure the disciples already know that in one month, the famous mountains battle will begin.” The Second Elder Ying Chujian’s eyes gleamed sharply as he spoke in a low voice.

The next day, Ali came to find me. Knowing we work at the same company, she wanted to come to work with me from now on.

However, aside from the direction, this gravity field research was all developed through her own efforts. In this, her pride and sense of accomplishment were greater than ever before.

Ye Congyuan was no fool; he knew these two didn’t understand the matter themselves and would probably consult an engineer who did once they returned. Actually, that would benefit him as well, so he nodded without exposing them.

Xiangshan is located in the western suburbs of the capital. From the mountain, one can see the elegant and beautiful imperial garden: the Daming Palace.

If Wang Meili and Manager Zhang found out, who knows if they wouldn’t be so angry they’d cough up blood.

Wang Chuan smiled and gently touched her cheek. His hands still bore faint traces of the blood left by Youluo—somewhat frightening marks.

The mechanical voice rang out the moment Jiang Chen inquired about the fall, and the content of that message made Jiang Chen’s eyes light up. Although the achievement points seemed somewhat more than expected.
