Chapter 40: Finally Leaving with Pride

There were simply too many people, so they had no choice but to split into two tables.

Meng Shuyue walked back and forth ten times just to finish serving the dishes.

Out of those twenty-odd people, not a single one bothered to stand up and help her carry anything, yet they still barked orders at her left and right to fetch chopsticks and bowls.

For the sake of letting them eat their communal meals in peace, Meng Shuyue endured it all, bustling back and forth like a dutiful nanny to fetch tableware.

Finally, the people at the table quieted down. Meng Shuyue wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead and looked at the two large tables.

Seeing her turn her head to look at him, Bo Yan foresightedly turned his head away first.

"And another thing, hereafter while in Ming, do not speak Mongolian to me. It might expose my identity, and I certainly don't want to live my whole life relying purely on luck like a fool such as you," Keloha Tun continued to provoke the other person.

"The money you had before, did you give it all to him?" Gu Wangcheng suddenly recalled the time she sold herself to him.

Sometimes it is simply exhausting. For most people, everything they are doing right now falls completely outside the realm of normalcy.

"I told you already, I must first return to my sect to report back on my mission, and then head to Central Continent. Besides, who wants to walk with you? See you in Central Continent!" With that, Feng Manshan patted her spirit pouch, and a streak of green radiance carried her soaring into the sky as she flew away on a spiritual weapon.

Sure enough, with the power of the absorption stone canceling out the repulsive force of the levitation stone, she descended to the lower level with ease. To her surprise, it was completely hollow inside. Gazing at the levitation stone floating in the very center, the corners of her twitching mouth betrayed her thoughts—she had expected it to be wrapped in raw stone like jade, yet it turned out to be like this.

Unlike ordinary villains, however, Ye Guichen did not let out a single groan of pain from being beaten.

He simply sat down, collapsing limply into the chair, seemingly aging several years in an instant as his spirit and vitality utterly dissipated.

"I've never heard of it either. But who did he say he was going to find? The He family's He Yandao on Abbot Island? Could it be the Wine Immortal He Yandao?" Li Zijun could not help asking in astonishment.

Seeing that the wine bottles on the table were empty again, Yang Ying instructed someone to bring another batch of her exclusive, unbranded, and unnamed wine.

"He looks so ordinary, nothing about him stands out at all!" Pan Yuyao muttered, hiding behind a tree.

This was Lin Yu's opportunity. Before long, he used his superb and flexible skills to overtake the first-place runner and reclaim the lead position.

Having once been schoolmates who shared meals together, Xie Mingxi knew Sheng Hong's dietary preferences inside and out. First, she served him a bowl of beef soup, and then picked out his favorite dishes for him.

"Alright, alright, I'll properly teach you a lesson tonight," Ye Hua said softly. Qing Yutong looked completely unfazed; anyway, her whole body had already been explored by her brother-in-law, so it was no big deal. She wasn't afraid.

Taking advantage of the moment when both of them turned their heads, Si'er mustered all her strength to break free from the restraint, ran behind A Heng, and trembled all over.

Sheng Zhe took another step forward and reached out to embrace Yin Xiaoxiao. While crying, Yin Xiaoxiao swiftly lashed out with a kick, sending Sheng Zhe stumbling backward before crashing to the ground.

"Has the Yun family arrived?" The seats on the western side were already packed. At the head of them sat the Yun family head himself, a faint sneer on his face as he swept away the gloom of the previous few days.

Anyone who received an invitation to the Xueyu Group Carnival would obtain special limited-time equipment during the five-day Huaxia Animation Carnival. After the carnival concluded, they could also redeem an exquisite gift package prepared by the Xueyu Group by presenting the invitation.

However, even formidable power depends on the circumstances. If these fierce beasts were to encounter ordinary cultivation masters or mere mortals, they would indeed be terrifyingly powerful.

"Qiuniang," Zhao Yangjun's face was brimming with smiles, his eyes filled with deep affection as he stepped forward to take Ye Qiuniang's hand.

Hearing the words "intensive care unit," Lin Anwan's mind went blank. Without pausing to think of anything else, she scrambled out of bed and ran all the way down to the hospital.

When Yan Xiangnuan caught sight of Jin Jitong's evasive expression, she felt a momentary flash of anger, mingled with a sliver of sympathy for Weiwei. To have ended up with such a mother was truly a crime committed in a past life; if Jin Jitong hadn't been so selfish, perhaps Weiwei's destiny would have been entirely different.
