Chapter 36: Spending a Fortune for Her

"You would be better off just letting go; it would be for the best for both you and me."

Liang Youjia stood up abruptly, a cold, sharp curve forming at the corners of his lips. "I do not like women who are so overbearing that they make decisions for me, Yuyu. You wouldn't want Grandma worrying about you, would you?"

Xianyu choked on her words, looking at him sharply. The moment he used his grandmother as a shield, she suddenly felt as though she had never truly known him at all.

...

"What kind of martial technique is this? The battle energy cultivated by human martial artists... who exactly are you?" The Dragon Maiden's beautiful face shifted in horror. Her severed head rolled onto the ground, her lovely eyes wide with extreme terror as she stared at Wang Kai.

He turned around suddenly and shook Hang Yu's hand with great excitement. "Director Hang, you have done us a tremendous favor!" Although they were one of the top engineering teams in the country, it would be a lie to say they hadn't encountered difficulties in constructing such a major project.

"Come, have some tea," Wang Di said with a smile. Although it wasn't a drinking game, he clinked his cup against those of the two children anyway.

"Sigh, it's like this everywhere now; it’s not just our city. This is the result of the national climate," Ye Jintian could only say this. After all, he was merely a businessman, not on the same level as the government.

"And you say the compensation is poor? Which other company would let you buy a car after two years, especially when you’ve just graduated?" Hang Yu said.

In the mind of the man in black who sought to harm him, someone of Chen Xi's lowly status should have been kneeling before him, groveling, and fawning over him frantically.

Above the testing grounds, continuous booming sounds echoed through the sky, and rift after rift in space began to take form.

With a series of loud bangs, the monk Tianlong’s palms struck Shangguan Yun’s back first, and Shangguan Yun simultaneously exchanged a palm strike with Zhuang Yan. Shangguan Yun stumbled back five or six steps before spitting out blood; he had been severely injured by the monk Tianlong’s iron fists.

Upon hearing this, Guan Yonglin felt a bit tempted himself. However, he was doing increasingly well at the Jiangyan Company and did not want to abandon his high-paying position to start over, so he decided to offer the opportunity to Huang Yi.

"Senior Tongtian, please rest assured, I too have a Chinese heart!" Lu Yiping looked at the Daoist Master Tongtian and said earnestly.

"Is that my fault? Can't I be a genius? Maybe those so-called elite disciples of yours are just dull-witted," Ding Yu said, shrugging his shoulders.

"Yes, yes, Brother Hu, don't worry. I will find those poor students immediately. Believe it or not, I have only ever taken money from a few of them," Chen Fei said.

Because Li Tian had forcibly exerted his spiritual power during his cultivation, he was now feeling mentally drained. Fortunately, with the support of the Soul Refining Heart Sutra, he managed to avoid fainting.

Mijiaer felt the weight of Ding Yu’s fist multiply instantly, increasing a thousand to ten thousand times in the blink of an eye.

As for why such a commotion in the hallway had not yet alerted the teachers, it was because school was already out, and most of the teachers had returned to the faculty dormitory area to eat.

Just as the two were about to set off, Ouyang Ruolian brought over a middle-aged man. He had tiger-like eyes, thick brows, and an extraordinary presence. He walked silently, yet his presence felt incredibly heavy, as if every step weighed a thousand pounds. Ouyang Ruolian’s cold, aloof expression showed a rare hint of reliance and intimacy.

Before long, the Blood Maiden walked over unsteadily. Unlike before, she was somewhat absent-minded, her face filled with disappointment, and the lingering pain in her body left her feeling completely drained.

"Thank you!" After taking the map, Lu Yiping said a word of thanks, then turned and entered the ruins with Pang Zhong.

Unexpectedly, just as he reached out to grasp it, someone nudged him with their elbow, and his hand was lifted up along with it.

She was seventy years old this year, but due to proper maintenance, she looked to be around sixty.
