Chapter 116: The Family Banquet

“I’m done at last.”

The moment they stepped out of the headquarters, Zhang Liang hurriedly lit a cigarette for himself and Zhen Ye to calm their nerves.

Three days—they had spent a full three days completing this述职 report...

“Shouldn’t we treat ourselves to some hotpot?”

As Rong Aiyu spoke, her eyes kept darting toward Tong Wanxin. Their team leader was a true Beijinger; he must know where to find the best lamb hotpot!

“I’ve already asked your sister-in-law to prepare everything. Come to my place for dinner tonight.”

Tong Wanxin checked the time. Perfect.

But Nan Xuan and Ying Congrong kept their eyes fixed on the three innate spirits ahead and said nothing more, much to Li Yunyi’s disappointment.

Seeing his impatience, Cheng Xue muttered a few words inwardly, but in the end she obediently raised her hand and reached it into the beast’s mouth.

Strands of pale silver radiance flowed from its throat, each carrying a faint trace of oppressive power.

She would have loved to rush over and tear Qi Wan’s mouth apart right then and there, but with the ferocious-looking Shi Zijian standing beside her, she felt a little lacking in courage.

“I’ll let you go home if you drink this cup of wine.”

Hong Niang pointed at the wine cup on the table with slender fingers like green onions, her expression tinged with displeasure. A ready-made wedding night was right before him, yet he actually wanted to refuse?

And so Cheng Xue spent an entire month looking like an old woman, leaving Zhao Ning and the others worried when they first saw her. Once the real person explained what had happened, every one of them laughed until they could barely stand.

After all, the title of Tooth-Breaking Maniac had not been earned for nothing. Ninety percent of the spirit beasts in this forest had suffered at her hands, and their teeth had all been replaced at least once.

Tian Yi swung his palm with all his strength and slapped the most lecherous-looking lieutenant across the face. His strength was now several times greater than before. With a sharp cry, the lieutenant toppled backward and fainted.

Song Jia, the most straightforward of them all, was tall and sturdy, yet she sobbed bitterly the entire way, secretly wiping away her tears as though no one had noticed.

Thus, when Qin Haoyang produced an entire wild boar he had hunted in the human world, Feng Qi abandoned all thoughts of questioning his motives for suddenly showing such kindness.

Even if he suspected that the Allied Army maintained close ties with the New Human Alliance, Xiao Baizhu still could not accept this method of depriving others of freedom of thought.

Explain himself? It seemed that the more one tried to explain something like this, the more muddled it became. Besides, did he really need to explain himself to Zhang Lan? She was not Feng Xiaoxiao. Was there any need?

Now that he had seen Xu Mengyan in the flesh, he was instantly captivated by her delicate, refined beauty. Even so, he had never considered using force. He turned his head to glance at Feng Bingao, and an idea immediately came to him.

She could not help thinking about it. She felt that she truly was unsuited to court life. Enjoying a palace drama and actually living inside one were unquestionably two entirely different experiences.

Lin Shenshen sat to one side and silently glanced at Lin Yuanai’s face. Their eyes happened to meet, but before Lin Shenshen could react, Lin Yuanai coldly looked away.

On the way, he kept thinking about what Cheng Tianle had said earlier. His preconceived notions about the wheat fields might really have been somewhat misguided. It would be better to find time to take a look.

“My name is Li Xin.”

Susan was the first to give her alias. Since it was false anyway, she could use it without hesitation.

The executives behind him were also visibly indignant, believing Zhang Ruofeng to be a shameless and insatiably greedy man.

Because several days had been lost, the production crew began working overtime to catch up with the schedule, and Han Shaoxun and Ye Yaotiao both became fully occupied.

Therefore, at this moment, he still chose to deny it simply because he could not bear to let go of Luo Qingyue.

Seeing this, Ye Yun followed the direction of her gaze. Then he saw several extremely powerful auras surging in the distance.

Even the heavens revealed strange phenomena. Black clouds churned and pressed down upon the mountain peak, while lightning tore through the clouds amid thunderous crashes.

The azure bead trembled slightly, and azure radiance poured down once more. The dim gray light was completely scattered by it, while the gray chains were unwillingly forced down and suppressed, unable to raise their heads.
