Chapter 34: Actually, I’m Just Lazy

This had always been the habit: a smile could conceal many things, among them a murderous intent. Yet even so, holding a frenzied, empty-eyed phantom beast, Shangguan Chen’s face turned pale with fear, and he felt somewhat drained.

Zhu Da was uneasy about the hygiene of this era. When at the riverside new village and Baibao village, he enforced a system through sticks and money to ensure basic cleanliness. When gathering refugees, he maintained these standards, though he lacked the means to demand such from outsiders.

“What’s with that look? Am I really that scary?” The silver-haired child touched his face, disdain evident in his expression.

These psychic flames seemed able only to burn spiritual energy; they caused no real harm to the physical world. After the flames dissipated, the ground beneath remained exactly as before, leaving no trace.

“Heh heh! I did find something, but it’s not certain yet. I need to go check it out,” Long Yichen said with a smile, already running off as if afraid someone else might discover the treasure first.

Since they meant well, Xiao Han naturally would not turn them away. He nodded in thanks and consciously moved to the front passenger seat, opening the door and sitting down.

However, Duan Chaonuan did not consider herself overly virtuous. As long as these two refrained from saying anything vulgar or distasteful, or anything that would offend her ears, she was content to keep her distance.

After Zhuge Liang died at Wuzhang Plains, he commanded Jiang Wei to cover their retreat after Wei Yan. Upon returning to Chengdu, Jiang Wei was appointed Right Monitor General and Assistant Han General, granted the title Marquis of Pingxiang.
