Chapter 157: Three Years

Yuan Xiangdie’s face instantly flushed red. Little did he know, Xiao Wei was still standing right behind them. This man was truly impossible.

"Whatever I want, I will buy for myself. Besides, what if you can't afford what I ask for?"

Women in love always like to ask such strange and whimsical questions, much like the classic "Do you love me?"

Jin Yuan would always answer patiently, repeating it time and time again, "If I can't afford it, I'll just sell... little Xiao Wei. That kid can fetch a pretty penny, and then I'll use the money to buy it for you."

"You can't do that! You two are bad people," Xiao Wei said, turning to face the leather sofa with an indignant huff.

The road leading to this suburban area was rather rough and difficult to navigate...

"Is that so? Then I'll have to keep troubling you," Tang Xuanli suddenly flashed a faint smile. Before Jamie could fully process what he meant, Tang Xuanli already slammed his foot down on the accelerator. The speed of a top-tier luxury car was no joke, requiring virtually no time to pick up speed as the vehicle shot forward instantly.

After returning the courtesy and rising to his feet, Gongye Chihai caught sight of Ziyun and was momentarily stunned. Suddenly feeling that his gaze might be discourteous, a wave of panic washed over him.

Master Yushan recounted the judges' critiques of her painting from this competition, meticulously pointing out to Yueyao where her flaws lay and where her strengths resided. This discussion lasted for the better part of a day.

Compared to growing stronger, even if a spirit stone were placed right before Lingyun's eyes, he would not reach out to take it. Such was his principle.

Hearing Luoyao address Yueyao as her elder sister, An Zhichen's face darkened instantly. "Zhaodi, take her away." No matter how beautiful Luoyao might be, in An Zhichen's eyes, she was nothing more than a plaything for a man. How could such a plaything ever be worthy of calling Yueyao elder sister?

The person lingering at the shop entrance was presumably not alone, as they muttered a few more words under their breath, though Xuejian paid them no mind. Shortly after, someone darted out of the alleyway, and within moments, the sound of many more footsteps approaching could be heard.

"What... what is this again?" Since he had already made a fool of himself, he might as well ask and get a clear explanation. Xu Congan pointed to the wooden racks extending from both sides of the iron frame and asked slowly.

With a helpless shake of her head, Sivir temporarily dismissed this makeshift, desperate measure. She wanted to think a bit more; if she truly could not come up with anything else, she would then consider this most foolish of last resorts.

"By the way, I haven't asked for your esteemed name yet?" Ziyun began with his name, proceeding step-by-step from the simplest of questions to those of greater complexity.

This guitar was strung with steel strings, producing a bright and clear tone that made it absolute perfection for fingerstyle playing.

Zhao Yingqi turned to look back down the mountain, feeling that he had perhaps been overly nervous. Even so, he remained deeply anxious, believing that Liang Xiao was taking far too great a risk. He wanted to say more, but Liang Xiao raised a hand to cut him off.

Before he could finish his words, his ears began to ache. Turning his head, he was met with the sight of Hu Yan's eyes blazing with fury.

Liang Xiao did not even move. He simply watched as the feathered arrow lost its momentum and dropped to the ground right before him, then raised his bow and loosed an arrow in return.

Yang Hao's face turned completely pale as he sensed the aura of death closing in on him. After all, his cultivation was vastly inferior to Chang Wei's.

Indeed, Yang Can was not at the Innate Realm, but what Chang Wei had never anticipated was that Yang Can was actually at the Grandmaster Realm. He had all along assumed Yang Can was still at the Body Tempering Realm.

Seeing Dou Ying's smiling face, Tian Fen instinctively felt that Dou Ying was mocking him once again. Consumed by sudden rage, he immediately sought to make a fuss over it.

With the troop restrictions lifted, the Li family immediately set about recruiting soldiers and purchasing horses, visiting relatives and friends, and mobilizing a large number of elite forces to garrison the mountain passes, strictly awaiting the arrival of the North Asian Legion.

"Is that so?" Yamada Irufa asked with a half-believing expression, staring suspiciously at Yesu's face as if trying to uncover any trace of a falsehood.

This was a retort to Wang Batian's earlier remark. Yang Qian had merely spoken casually just then, but naturally, she shared the exact same concerns. However, being a person accustomed to official circles, her perspective differed somewhat from Wang Batian's.

More than thirteen hundred Demon Overlords, including twenty-seven Universe Overlords who had reached the ninth step.

Given the three men's cultivation levels, even though they were bound by the Qi-Suppressing Ropes and unable to channel their vital energy, their perception remained exceptionally sharp. The moment they heard footsteps approaching from afar, they immediately distinguished that three people were coming—precisely the three Zhang family soldiers who had imprisoned them three days prior, with not a single soul else.
