Chapter 43: Employing Every Last Resource to Keep Him

At the end of North Street, many laborers came and went.

Groups of workers gathered in twos and threes at the entrance of the wonton shop, eating while stealing glances at the busy figure of a woman inside the traditional Chinese medicine clinic across the street.

“That young lady across the street is really beautiful. Her skin is so tender and moist, you could almost squeeze water from it.”

“I wonder if she has a boyfriend. Maybe we should pretend to be sick and try to strike up a conversation with her?”

A few dark-skinned porters exchanged sticky, lecherous looks.

When Liu Qi released the swift arrow, he did not adjust the attack to a higher level; otherwise, the residual force would be too strong, and the villagers would be unable to withstand it.

“Yuanyuan, I’m sorry,” Cheng Huaien finally uttered the words he had thought over countless times in his heart upon returning home.

For example, he wouldn’t let Xu Tanxi wash the dishes because, in his mind, by spoiling her, she would become dependent on him.

The next day, the biggest topic of conversation in Yunlai Town was the incident between Ye Kai and Feng Wu the previous day. Meanwhile, some covert forces lurking in the shadows began to initiate their own maneuvers.

Upon closer inspection, the so-called “Peach Blossom Village” resembled those ancient-style villages seen in movies and TV dramas, except this one truly existed, giving Chen Hao an added sense of authenticity.

“Thank you. I’ll return it when I get back,” Yun Chaohua smiled and accepted the compass handed over by Hua Rongshu.

The tree trembled slightly, and leaves fell from the branches like they were suddenly struck by a typhoon, drifting down in a mournful cascade.

The auxiliary police officer handcuffed Gu Feng without any explanation and, moreover, secured the handcuffs to a specially designed iron chair.

Throughout high school, Gu Feng, originally a fairly outgoing young man, gradually became silent. Whenever he had free time, apart from caring for his mother, he sought part-time jobs.

However, Zhao Yuan was quite promising. Perhaps unwilling to be dragged too far by Yuan Xing, he worked hard after joining the wind squad. Within less than a month, he was sent to Japan to study alongside Li Feng and gradually took over Li Feng’s duties.

Their combat style was simply a matter of firepower, numbers, or sheer recklessness. But since Yuan Xing had joined the Lin family, their battles increasingly involved tactics, making it rare for opposing teams of equal numbers to defeat them.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded. Then, the black mist parted on either side, revealing a white-haired youth in a gray robe. Though appearing only in his twenties, his eyes held the weight of countless years, clearly indicating a much older true age.

“Having a younger sister is wonderful; it’s truly enviable. Unfortunately, I’m an only child,” Zhang Yao nodded and spoke with a hint of envy.

Most present refused to believe the fact that Chu Tianyu could reach such cultivation. An Intermediate Martial Emperor was a top-tier existence, an absolute powerhouse.

After being attacked, they did not panic. Once concealed, they refrained from firing recklessly, displaying the quality of elite soldiers.

Looking up at the swirling snowflakes, Ye Feng’s face suddenly flickered with something strange before transforming into a smile.

The waiter began to serve tea and pour water when a man entered. His long hair flowed over a traditional cotton robe and cloth shoes. Tall and lean, with long eyebrows and refined features, he exuded a scholarly elegance and radiant spirit.

Though knowing she shouldn’t, she still fell in love with that unattainable man. Like a moth to a flame, even if the warmth lasted only a moment, she savored it as if it were sweet nectar.

“That’s exactly it, for sure!” With little trouble, Ye Yunzhao had effortlessly won over Jian Hansi, his confidence soaring and a smug expression plastered across his face.

She screamed wildly and moved her foot, ready to rush forward. But before she could act, the other nine elders immediately surrounded her, their spiritual energy surging and restraining her completely.
