Chapter 50

During the New Year festivities, various households took turns hosting banquets and making social calls, passing the days quite swiftly. Because Li Danruo was in mourning for her grandmother, however, she spent this New Year in extreme tranquility, not even stepping outside her courtyard gates. It was not until the seventh day of the first lunar month—the memorial anniversary of Lady Jiang, the aunt of Jiang Yanming and wife of the founding Marquis of Weiyuan—that she accompanied Jiang Yanming to the Da Xiangguo Temple to hold a three-day grand Buddhist requiem mass for her.

"Su Yuyang, I am very frightened right now. I am afraid that you might suddenly wake up, and I am afraid that you will see me writing this letter."

After completing the handover process, Ye Tian and his group left the Noah's Ark Church, leaving behind only a few company employees and assistant lawyers, including Derek, to supervise the site on-site.

Around 4:30 PM, just as the French midday break had ended, the first top-tier jewelry designer arrived by appointment at the Hotel Regina.

Fixating his gaze on Daisy, Wang Kai entered the executive building and walked into Daisy's office. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief in his heart. After greeting Natasha, he walked over to Daisy's side.

The scene fell silent as everyone fixed their eyes on the surveillance monitor, following that dragonfly drone as it penetrated deeper into this cavern that resembled a living hell.

He wanted to have him leave the grand hall first and then slowly make his own plans, but Prince Gong was exceptionally calm; once an enemy exposed a flaw, he would relentlessly pursue it. Yet, he had no desire to defy an imperial decree, so he cupped his hands toward the Emperor and "politely" invited him to inspect the situation together.

He was indeed quite fond of this gold mine and desperately wanted to secure it. If he could acquire it at a low price, that would be absolute perfection. As for whether Ye Tian lived or died, why would he care about that?

After finishing his sweet potato, Yin Huai retreated into his own room. His room shared a single wall with Guoqing's family, and on the other side of that wall lived Guoqing's younger sister, Guohong.

The dark-robed cultivator knew the other party was about to play for keeps, but he was powerless to resist. More importantly, during such a critical and extraordinary period, making a few more enemies at the Golden Core stage would be extremely unwise.

"Since there are no other options, just make do and kill yourself," hard-fought battle ultimately led to the final decision.

To have Chu Yun personally deliver the invitation letter to her—Ling Miao could not possibly be unaware of how deeply uncomfortable this would make her. Yet she had still done it, and the more Lin Xiaohuan thought about it, the less she could understand.

"Qin'er, eat a bit less. You still have cultivation practice later," Yang Yuan said with a smiling glare as he looked at Yang Qin.

Regardless of which narrative one believed, it was an undeniable fact that the Federal Communications Group was currently rocking amidst a storm.

Ye Zhen's mind was made up; no amount of persuasion from the two maidservants had any effect. On the contrary, when Jun Ninglan heard of it, he simply let her do as she pleased, with the sole condition that he would accompany her the entire way, terrified that Ye Zhen might encounter danger along the journey.

Such is society: the previous second you are treated with utmost reverence, but the moment you fall from grace, everyone wants to step heavily upon your chest.

Having had past experiences of chasing after idols, Cen Kexin understood the physical and mental toll all too well. Sometimes, in order to catch a glimpse of their beloved idols, they had to wait for an entire day.

Accompanied by the gradual activation of the luminescent stones, the seven of them stepped into this unknown secret chamber. Door after door was left behind, and ahead of them, it felt as though some massive entity was emerging. Someone swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a gulp, a sound that appeared exceptionally terrifying within this confined space.

Meanwhile, seeing his palm-leaf strike swallowed up, Chengtian showed not the slightest trace of surprise; instead, he felt a sense of relief.

A wild, evil fire surged upward, clouding his mind. Disregarding all consequences, Qin Tian directly launched his assault.

"Heh..." Lin Yu chuckled. He truly did not know what there was to fear. Insults and verbal abuse had never once weighed on his mind, and as for anyone wishing to resort to violence—given his recently surged strength—truthfully, even if the opponent were a peerless expert of the younger generation from the Five Great Sects, he would not be afraid.

Once the two of them achieved synchronization in mind, power, bloodline, and the heavenly Dao, they plunged into a wondrous state. Their entire bodies were brimming with energy, and they felt an unprecedented sense of power. When the divine thunder descended once more, Lin Yu and Lu Lingmeng simultaneously transformed into streaks of light and charged forward.

President Kang Sheng enthusiastically invited Li Haoran to take a seat, regardless of the vast gap currently existing between Yihao Entertainment Group and Greenland Group. Yet from certain details, one could easily sense that the young man before him, Li Hao, was far from ordinary.

"Li Hao, I'm all done. Where are we going next? Are we going back to your place?" Zhou Ruotong wore a floral dress, and her smile as she spoke was enchanting and captivating.

Upon receiving the urgent report, She Chongming and An Shixian hurriedly climbed the city walls to observe the battle array of the Hanwei Army. They saw more than twenty thousand Hanwei Army soldiers halting at a distance of a little over a mile from Hexi Pass, while two artillery battalions comprising fifty great Fulaoji cannons were being successively pushed to the front of the formation. At the same time, the vanguard battalion and the Huben battalion's matchlock gunmen were also gathering in preparation.

Deng Rong turned back to look at Lin Yu with gratitude, only to discover that Lin Yu's state was somewhat bizarre. His usually bright gaze now appeared exceptionally vacant and completely devoid of any focus. Although it looked lifeless, it gave people a very strange sensation—though as to what was strange about it, Deng Rong simply could not put her words into a description.

"Pika-Pika-Chu!" The Pokémon Pikachu flicked its tail, unleashing a dazzling and brilliant bolt of thunder: "Thunderbolt!"

After his trusted aides departed, the second-in-command summoned the troops stationed within the stronghold. Even though it was already nighttime and everyone in the stronghold was busy eating, drinking, and making merry, at the second-in-command's single command, the eight hundred subordinates still very swiftly assembled in the open space of the stronghold.

"That's more like it. If you were to drop dead from my sudden offensive just now, you truly wouldn't deserve to be my opponent." A blade aura from Dao Zhan struck a massive boulder, leaving it etched with striated patterns.

The former had drawn Li Xin's sideways glance because the Shen family workshop's business was intricately linked to her. It could be said that she was the one who had originally spearheaded this venture; had she not assessed the situation and withdrawn midway, she would likely still be a veteran figure of the Shen family workshop today.

"Is that so? That's simply wonderful. I happen to be an absolute master in the arts of the Light Force—the Light Force and the Holy Light Force." Li Yingxue unleashed the Light Force, and instantly, the movements of the undead corpses slowed down significantly.

Tattered and in rags, Zi Bingxin dropped straight down to sit on the ground. Bathed in sweat, she felt vastly more comfortable in her heart at this moment.

The Blind Monk naturally heard these cynical remarks as well, but he did not care. Whether or not he actually knew how to give massages was not something to be decided by these people's mere words—it required one's body to truly experience it.
