Chapter 30: Fighting the Landlord!

Page (1/3)

For the first two days, there was no news at all. At last, on the third day, they captured the so-called “Empress” who, according to the report, had appeared in Rongcheng.

Arcs of electricity leaped through the air, each as thick as an arm. The sizzling, scorching crackle radiated an atmosphere of dreadful terror.

She had clearly seen the ring before, yet when she heard him say that Xia Rusheng had given it to him, she had merely thrown a fit and refused to tell him anything. Perhaps she thought he had already defiled the ring, and that there was no longer any need for him to know.

Lao An’s guess had been right. These people had their own difficulties. They had initially believed that Lao An would silence them, but after returning home safely, they were all filled with gratitude.

Zhou Wushuang sneered inwardly. How could he fail to see what Ding Maoshan was planning? If he accepted, he would probably have no reason to move against the Ding family afterward.

In the end, everything returned to normal, as though nothing had ever happened. The rewards for Cheng Dalai and Yang Longting were also announced.

The Qilin had lost interest as well. It crouched on the ground and continued sleeping, leaving only Zhou Wuyi and the other two to endure the agony of their bloodline awakening within the pool.

This was neither a magical artifact nor a spiritual treasure, much less a postnatal or innate spiritual treasure. Yet it gave off an extraordinarily powerful sensation. Even from a distance, it caused an oppressive feeling of suffocation to surge toward them.

“Could it be that you’re afraid? If you fear us, open the gates at once and surrender. I’ll spare your life and give you the chance to lead horses and hold saddles for me.” Crimson Brow continued taunting them beneath the city walls. Whether Cheng Dalai came out or not did not matter. As long as they showed fear of battle, it would raise the morale of his troops.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and gazed from afar at the towering tree that continued to grow ever higher, her expression faintly dazed.

The one whose face looked even worse than the Jade Emperor’s was Ge Xuan. Just as he had nearly come to believe that Yang Jian was about to become a member of the Celestial Court, the situation suddenly took a sharp turn. He stood there, stunned, not knowing what to say.

At that moment, the man in the bamboo hat lifted his head, looking haughty and arrogant, and said, “I have no interest in your things. I’m leaving.” With a sweep of his sleeve, he collected all the cowrie coins laid out before the stall, then continued toward the other stalls.

“Xie Jiayue, did you grow up eating honey?” For the sake of a single cup of water, he had actually said so many sweet things. Su Mianmian was utterly impressed.

Xia Chuyi had finally figured it out. Qian Qian’s bold and combative side came from her mother, while her ability to smooth things over and speak well resembled her father.

No one had expected Ye Xuan to make such a grand entrance and still possess exactly the same level of cultivation as before—let alone announce that he intended to rob everyone.

You Cun had once competed with his uncle, You Hun, in extravagance. After meals, You Hun washed his cooking pot with sugar water, so You Cun burned lamp oil as firewood. You Hun built a forty-mile screen of purple silk, so You Cun built a fifty-mile screen of brocade. You Hun coated his walls with red mineral pigment, so You Cun used Sichuan pepper instead.

Though they served together in the Celestial Court, Ling Bai greatly admired the Mountain-Guarding Golden Immortal—his courage and his steadfast adherence to principle. The Celestial Court of today was no longer as pure and orderly as it had once been. On the surface, the Jade Emperor still had the final say, but as the power and cultivation of the Three Celestial Venerables continued to rise, the authority of the Jade Emperor’s rule was often challenged.

This time, he had come to Jinghai High School purely to have fun. Since he had already defeated everyone at Jinghai No. 2 High School, he had come to Jinghai High School in search of excitement.

After several strange cries, the flying beast tried to charge back and retaliate, but suddenly convulsed and slammed into a nearby tree. With a bang, it fell to the ground, utterly still.

The wolf cavalry and beetle cavalry from the forest launched their attacks as well, charging fiercely toward the warriors of Black Sun City. They were not as orderly as the caravan’s forces, but the sight was every bit as stirring.

Once the pain in his mind had completely vanished, a wave of comfort spread throughout his body. Unable to resist, he stretched, and his joints immediately crackled like beans frying in a pan.

If this continued, Tiantong Apparel would inevitably go bankrupt and shut down, leaving several thousand workers unemployed.

She seemed familiar because that bare, unadorned face had appeared in his dreams hundreds, even thousands, of times. Yet she also seemed unfamiliar because it had truly been a very long time since he had last seen her. Exactly how long it had been, he could no longer remember.

After the Noble Consort’s figure disappeared from sight, everyone immediately erupted into excitement and crowded around Han Weier, chattering all at once.

She had wanted to put those narcissistic, arrogant men in their place for a long time. Unfortunately, she was not very good at arguing or hurling insults. No matter how many times she went back and forth, she could only come up with the same few lines, and none of them ever felt satisfying.

Tang Ning’an now felt that she must have been an idiot at the time. A man had given her ten million to spend, and she had actually felt indignant about it. An opportunity like money falling from the heavens was not something everyone got to encounter.

Li Mengyao was already terrified out of her wits. She clung tightly to Chu Tiance and spoke in a trembling voice, her whole body shaking like a sieve.

Outside the rift, dazzling red light now flickered, dyeing the surrounding space for thousands of miles crimson. Countless spatial rifts also appeared within the area covered by the red glow.

“A distinguished guest has come to visit today. Grandfather sent me to bring you back to the old family residence for a meeting.” Seventh Master Song smiled as he explained the reason for his visit.
