Chapter 29: Reconciliation

Halfway through the meal, the supplier suddenly singled out Yu Xiangsi. "This young lady hasn’t had a single drink. Are you dissatisfied with our hospitality?"

Yu Xiangsi stood up and quickly replied, "I’m terribly sorry, but I don’t drink."

Ji Jing glanced at her upon hearing this. She certainly hadn’t been like this when she broke his record back then. After downing ten glasses of liquor...

For the Zhou family, the current state of Liaoning Province presents the perfect opportunity. By keeping pace with the expansion of Gao Fei’s business, the Zhou family’s status will become even more secure. Although Gao Fei’s company managed to wedge itself into the entertainment industry, when weighing the gains against the losses, the Zhou family still came out with a massive profit.

Moreover, the decomposition effect continued to spread up his left arm, threatening to dissolve his entire body completely.

It remains unclear whether the Seventh Prince can truly bring reinforcements within half a month. For now, Jian Xin can only wait and see, as his limited manpower cannot be spread any thinner.

He had been spending these past few days with Wu Jiaojiao. While he knew she would never harm him, it would be problematic if she discovered he possessed a spiritual treasure. As the saying goes, one should never flaunt their wealth. Long Pingfan had not even disclosed this to Xiao Qian and the others.

The subordinates of Wu Jinyu, who had been disguised as waiters, drew their guns one after another and began firing indiscriminately beneath the tables.

Qin Daguang and Huang Guozhang frowned, their faces twisted with grimaces as they forced down half a glass of liquor. Feeling a wave of nausea rising in their stomachs, they hurriedly grabbed some food with their chopsticks to suppress the alcohol.

Although the barrier, reinforced by the spiritual power drawn from a hundred-mile radius around Beihe, had temporarily withstood the "Devouring Annihilation Beam," it could not hold for long. Thus, he barked a low command to Jiao Mu, who was already launching an assault on Zhang Ling, to urge him on.

"What’s the rush? Since my master has already made his move, he will definitely be able to bring the person back," Wu Yao said with full confidence.

"Woof!" The Howling Celestial Dog looked up at the sky and let out an urgent bark. Yang Jian didn't have time to look closely; he braced himself and swung his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear upward to meet the threat.

"This is by no means a matter of urgency. You should think it over carefully!" Ling Zhiyuan said with calm assurance.

Before resigning, Wu Jieshi was an Assistant Governor of Guangdong Province, a department-level official enjoying vice-provincial treatment. In ancient times, he would have been equivalent to a Vice Minister of a Board, a high-ranking official of the third rank.

Chu Hong protested indignantly, absolutely refusing to let Old Master Qiu Ba accompany her. She claimed that the sight of the old man made her feel sick and ruined her appetite, adding that if he were forced upon her as a bodyguard, she might as well be dead.

Beichen Hao’s body trembled. Only then did he understand the true intention behind Su Fan’s conversation—the other party was warning him to properly keep Beichen Muyun in check.

The soldiers of the Hongmen had long possessed a fondness for nocturnal warfare, and their experience in night fighting was extensive. Therefore, for Niu Qiangwei, who was leading the team and taking charge of the overall situation for the first time, his first thought for a tactical approach was a night raid.

Thus, while Murong Jun remained ignorant of the details regarding the Battle of Zuo County, Fu Jian was perfectly aware of them. Although he had provided assistance, the reality was that the Northern Prefecture Army had served as the main force.

Li Tianyang was currently desperate for money and eager to sell anything he could get his hands on. Having finally managed to tinker with these two items, it would be a bitter disappointment if there were no market for them.

Zhou Bo had come to Anning County specifically to find Wang Conghan to discuss matters related to opening a gourd shop.

"During this period, you must all persevere. Strive to fully master everything I have taught you as soon as possible!" Jun Lin said with his hands behind his back.

Yes, to be born human in the Divine Realm is to be born into suffering. Not only are humans at the very bottom of the hierarchy among all races, but they are also constantly oppressed and persecuted by more powerful ones.

Just as Su Fan was lost in thought, the sky over the Fengdu Secret Realm had gradually darkened. With the sound of a resonant horn, the giants began to ignite dozens of large bonfires inside the stockade.
