Volume 1, Chapter 27: The Shadow Market

However, considering the scarcity of food on the mountain, Ye Qiyun carried a large backpack filled with medicines, essential water, and provisions.

A black Rolls-Royce was parked at the entrance of the underground boxing arena. The man in the driver’s seat put down his phone and glanced toward the main gate.

“Isn’t that right? Everyone who knows us is well aware of my relationship with Qiqi,” Fang Yu chimed in.

Although Fang Shiyu was unaware of these matters, his mother had told him that his martial arts originated from the Shaolin Temple. So when he saw the old monk collecting alms, he naturally gave it no further thought.

She verbally agreed but felt reluctant inside. She had thought Xia Ranran had married a penniless man, but now it seemed her husband was both handsome and wealthy, and he doted on her in every way. The phrase “Xia Ranran is a qualified wife” was etched like a brand upon his heart, filling her with jealousy and resentment every night.

Since the disappearance of the patriarch three years ago, their research institute had lost contact with the underworld. Even if they captured a vengeful spirit, they could no longer send it to the netherworld.

Therefore, Yun Chen clearly understood that this exam was ultimately about survival, not combat. Otherwise, the failure rate of this unified test, with its 50 percent chance of death, would be inexplicable.

At this moment, an abrupt change occurred. Xue Rouyan and the others who had been running alongside Yun Chen suddenly found themselves halted as if blocked by an invisible barrier, unable to advance even an inch.

Such an experience would be distressing for anyone; moreover, it was happening through a screen. Incidents of school bullying like this would be unbearable for anyone else today.

She desperately called out to the system in her heart, questioning why it had not warned her about Yan Xi leaving the Xi family.

“You, Youyouzi, go assist Hutang. That guy is too weak to handle Wo Ban alone. If you go, at least you can maintain an undefeated situation,” Chun said as she approached Youyouzi.

Reba’s words were like a lifeline. Given Nazha’s current predicament, she naturally chose to accept without hesitation.

Then she confronted him sharply, saying, “Isn’t ‘of course’ your motto?”

“Of course… Jiangxia is the gateway to Jingling. Jingling has a superior geographical position, connecting various regions, and has never suffered from military disasters,” Liu Lin said proudly.

How could Cai Hua accept this? Leaning against a tree by the river, head in hands, he was at a loss… Well, perhaps this would be the last time he leaned against a tree in his life. After all, once he returned to the city, Meng Yue would likely have his way with him.

Upon hearing the system prompt, Chen Lie realized the system had not suggested that remote retrieval was safer. After a brief inquiry, he felt at ease.

By the time he returned with the goods, Wanligu had already entered his house. Wanligu, gentle and graceful as a Japanese woman, had begun helping Chun and the others sort out the chores left over from yesterday.

However, if they knew that Chen Lie’s acquisitions were far more than what appeared on the surface, they would surely be even more shocked and envious.

Regarding martial artists who could rival or even surpass her, she felt only joy and never rejection.

Although she evaded the shadowy attacker, the excessive movement caused her to strain the wound on her thigh.

After Gu Qinzhi finished speaking, he fell silent, his face dark and mood sour along the way.

During the authorization process, mother entrusted me with managing all the shares she held in these three companies, with all seals and signatures clearly in order.

Putting aside the constraints of identity, if Nanyu were to interact with Tang Huaijin in her usual true self, she truly would not be easy to deal with. With her obsessive-compulsive tendencies and perfectionism, without such demands, Chen Fan could never have made significant progress within a year.

Heichenzi then asked Han Zhenzi to sign, and Lady She also signed. Finally, I had to sign every page and affix my seal as the Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty.

“Forget it. Give me the cheque, and I’ll exchange it for ten million. That way, you won’t keep asking me for money,” Zhang Jingchu said, knowing Li Kejue was not greedy and would surely use the money wisely.

“Greetings, Lord of the City,” Elder Tianma respectfully bowed upon seeing a middle-aged man in a white robe. Zhan Tian had also seen the man before and knew him to be the lord of this Dream Crystal City.

“Wait…” Mu Bai opened his mouth several times before finally uttering the two words stuck in his throat. At this moment, his mind held only the image of that departing figure—like a lone wild goose with a broken wing, like a setting sun fading away, like fallen crimson petals.

“Heh, I have everything arranged. Let’s just enter,” Long Yichen waved his hand confidently and continued toward the hall.

Seeing Yu Huan, Zhang Jiayin burst into tears and clung to her like a wronged child.

At this time, although Lin Yuxue appeared calm on the surface, her heart was extremely tense, leaving no mood to enjoy the scenery.

Kaka followed Ronaldo, Carlos, Ronaldinho, Cafu, and others, and as soon as they got out of the car, they were surrounded by reporters.

“I live there too. My room is pretty big anyway, so you can just sleep on the sofa,” Xu Tianci said lazily.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Lin Yuxue felt that Gao Ouyi’s words carried a hint of pride, making them sound less harsh.

At school, Qin Zhiyi always fell asleep during Mr. Liu’s dull lectures. Upon waking, she would face Liu Yinghan’s cold, disdainful expression and Gu Nanfeng’s amused eyes.

Ding Shao shouted in frustration, unwilling to believe his bodyguard had been killed in such a manner. But seeing the fresh blood flowing from their throats and the fluid leaking between their legs was undeniable.

Naruto quickly rushed forward, summoning a large amount of spiritual chakra to help Sasuke heal his wounds.

Wu Yingbo thought about this bustling street and wondered if he might run into someone he knew. Just then, he heard someone calling him from behind.

Yu Qiao’er was not deaf and naturally heard what was said. She felt uncomfortable but did not lash out.

Her voice was gentle yet carried a tone that struck Ji Liunian’s heart, leaving her momentarily at a loss for words.

“Zifu, the Grand Empress Dowager will surely take good care of the emperor. Why must you hold this grudge?” Liu Che helplessly looked at Wei Zifu, who was blocking the cradle and stepped forward to embrace the child.

No! She was unwilling. How could she accept dying just like this? How could she so easily let Feng Qinyu have it easy?
