Chapter 27: Sending Her Away

Feifan straightened its body and let out a low cry into the air, prompting the cries of birds and beasts to grow louder in response, as if in chorus.

Over these years, most of the animals they hunted were of common varieties; otherwise, their annual income would have been far greater.

Although none of the Life-and-Death Pills had reached a purity of over eighty-five percent, judging by the similarity in the lingering warmth of the pills and the slight, faint marks on them...

"Get out! I'll deal with you when I get back!" Cai Kun roared angrily. His colleagues would be arriving soon, and he did not want news of domestic violence reaching the bureau.

"I never imagined it would be a Tiger Clan warrior. Many thanks for your timely rescue." Everyone offered their salutes, though Hu Tu-er frowned, gazing toward the direction beyond the wall.

Upon returning home, Zhen Huimin was cooking in the kitchen. Wang Zixuan asked Du Kun to go in and find some fresh purple-skinned single-clove garlic and a fresh egg.

"Boss, I stand by what I said: pilot it first, then promote it. I'll dismantle one path in Zhejiang to test the results." Dai Jitao’s approach was moderate yet grounded in reality; without a precedent, no one could know how it would turn out.

If it were truly capable of generating profit, he would have sold this plot of land long ago. As long as there was money to be made, he was capable of anything.

Even though the plan was proceeding smoothly, he still felt that something was off. He had no way to think clearly about exactly what was wrong at the moment.

Pang Wei searched near the television cabinet in the living room and discovered a tightly folded piece of yellow paper in a slot behind the speakers. It took Xu Ziqian and his father some effort to pry it out; upon unfolding it, they found it was a talisman drawn in cinnabar.

Three more loud reports echoed, and Li Yuan was sent flying backward. However, mid-air, he gripped his right hand tightly, causing a massive vortex to manifest in the void. A strange suction force pulled him directly inside.

"Since that is the case, I will not force you. Just don’t interfere," Qi Wenli said, nodding. This was her only requirement.

Shen Muyun felt a bit suspicious. Yun Jingchu usually attached such great importance to her studies; why was she so calm today?

The soldiers were in high spirits at this moment. Initially, they had been feeling quite miserable and grim, fearing that something catastrophic might happen.

Yan Niang cast a soft huff at the departing Fuyunzi and ignored him thereafter. She turned her gaze to the east, a hint of confusion appearing in her eyes.

Looking back in a hurry, he realized that Zhou Butong had also been struck. The fat man’s body seemed to be impacted by an invisible force, his eyes rolled back, and he fell straight to the ground.

Upon hearing this, Pang Tong’s expression shifted. He quickly took the sash to examine it carefully, turning it over and over without finding anything. The secret must lie within the belt itself.

It did not take long to finish off the shrimp soldiers and minions. Once everyone was safe, they turned their attention to the two figures still locked in combat.

He Xin’er had specifically instructed her father yesterday to buy ingredients for eight-treasure porridge. When soaking the soybeans last night, she had also soaked the beans for the porridge in warm water and placed them in the vegetable garden.

Zhang Ruyun looked at his smooth skin and then down at his crotch, feeling as if he had suddenly returned to childhood. He could not help but wear a look of helplessness, swallowing his bitterness in silence.

The current Six Realms—the Celestial Realm, the Human Realm, the Asura Realm, Purgatory, the Underworld, and Hell—were far more prosperous than ever before, continuing to expand with each passing day.

However, negotiating with officers who insisted on executing Ferymanth’s previous orders via flag signals was difficult. The entire fleet remained anchored on the sea, neither continuing toward the Gretel Strait nor returning to the Strait of Malacca.

Lin Feng glanced sideways. A pillar stood against the wall, and the final image from the conch had rested upon it. Could there be something unusual about this object?

Her beauty was entirely different from that of Nie Fenghua. Nie Fenghua’s beauty was ever-changing; she looked perfect in both light and heavy makeup. When dancing, she was wild and aggressive; as a princess, she was dignified and unattainable; in the military camp, clad in armor, she possessed a dashing spirit that did not lose to any man.

Later, the assessment for the quasi-saint child concluded, ending with the battle between Ren Wokuang and the indigenous powerhouses of the Ziji Continent.

Xu Shiwan did not seem to expect it would be me. She froze for a moment before ordering everyone to lower their guns, as if she were not targeting me at all.

Nie Fenghua instinctively took a step back, but Bai Taizong did not intend to let her escape again; he took a step forward to close the distance.

Buddhist practitioners from outside the secular world kneel only to the Buddha, not to the masses. However, Xu You’s status was different; he was a Great Vibhasha. Zhi Xian had always observed the etiquette of a disciple toward him, so kneeling was of no consequence.

Qin Bukong glanced at Jiang Xuerou, then turned to look at Gan Mu, before turning back to Jiang Xuerou and asking, "Are you sure you aren't going?"

"Get out of the way! Is this a place where you can sit?" The eldest Yuan slammed his fat hand heavily onto the table.

Under everyone’s expectant gaze, no mishaps occurred this time. The biological submarine blindly plunged into the steel net and was caught perfectly.

Gong Ping said, "I'll go first this time." He reached out and grabbed a tile, followed by Wood. The dealer flipped their tiles, revealing two more nines.

"Director Li, I don't know who leaked this online, but now the entire internet is focused on this incident!" a staff member ran to Li Ze in a panic and said.

Three seconds later, the beam of light vanished. The open-mouthed electromagnetic cannon was still trailing arcs of electricity, now entering its cooling phase.

The golden beam of light, slowed drastically by the freezing effect of the ice crystals, came to a dead stop just before it could strike the Frost Butterfly, standing like a thick, slanted pillar of ice in the night.

From beginning to end, they did not exchange a single word; all actions were completed with fluid, seamless movements.

If Lin Weiwei were a superstar, 500,000 copies might barely sell out. But this was her first album, and in this era of widespread internet, even though she was a second-tier star, how many people would actually buy her album?

Never mind the three so-called masters; even Lin Chang was horrified to see his own master be so vicious. But after a second thought, realizing that the opponent was no saint either, he managed to balance his conscience.

He felt a pang of shame, recalling that Wei Qilang’s original intention in having him accept the imperial decree was to ensure he had the capability to protect his beloved. Yet he himself had been muddled, quibbling over a little so-called freedom.
