Chapter 115: The Grand Wedding on the Mid-Autumn Festival

“What a treasure!”

Shen Xin was overjoyed. Without having time to inspect the contents within the jade pendant, he hurriedly placed it inside the bronze gourd.

He searched the stone chamber for a while longer, but found nothing else of value. With no choice, he withdrew.

Upon closer examination, the blame did not entirely lie with those girls. It was simply that prolonged poverty and backwardness had inflicted a deep and lasting corrosion on the national spirit.

Well, Long Aotian really was lucky. The Black Jade Bone-Joining Paste I had fought so hard to obtain was finally coming in handy.

He could feel the surrounding gazes stabbing into him like needles, making him ache all over. The viciousness in his heart nearly burst from his chest, urging him to slaughter every one of those onlookers.

If he truly fought her to determine superiority, it would inevitably become a life-and-death struggle. Torn by indecision, he glanced at his two trembling subordinates, who were already cowering from one another in terror, then looked toward the corpse slurry flowing down the rock wall, now reduced to a thin, intermittent trickle.

Yun Qi usually went to the rear residence to practice his punches and train before returning to sleep. Since his injuries made that inconvenient, he decided to take a walk and aid his digestion.

The three of them each chose the delicacies they liked. At Yuan Han’s repeated insistence, the helpless Yuan Yuan and Zhang Dong could only let him pay the bill.

Looking at the strong, fair hand supporting him, Lin Aqi suddenly understood the meaning of his journey to the capital.

Song Guyan knew perfectly well that physical strength was soy milk powder’s weakness. She was deeply afraid that he would exhaust himself now and have no stamina left for the final sprint.

Back when the Zou family uncle and nephew ruled the underworld of Dengzhou, Sister-in-law Gu opened this establishment. Since it stood outside Dengzhou City, she naturally had to obey the rules of the trade and pay protection money. But relying on her martial prowess, Sister-in-law Gu refused. The Zou family uncle and nephew came to her door, only to discover that she was no pushover either.

Before Fu Yunyao could reach them, she saw Jiang Yixiu hurriedly walk up to Zhao Qiujin and take the food container from her.

Thinking that there had still been no result from the Mutu side that evening, and that he would have to face any unexpected development at full strength, he simply assigned a point to his “Reaction” attribute.

Knowing that he was outmatched, Liu Laozhi had only one last move left to save his life: relinquish the position of supreme commander of the Northern Command Army and bring Xie Xuan out of retirement. Once Xie Xuan returned, the Northern Command Army’s strength would truly suffer a setback. Wouldn’t every problem then be solved with ease?

At that moment, the other four judges, the two hosts, and even everyone beneath the stage and the station director were all looking at Li Changlin.

I lowered my head and composed myself for a while before looking at Su Daji again. Logically speaking, Su Daji and we should have been enemies. So why did we now seem to get along like teammates?

He had now realized that inviting Li Changlin to come and shriek through *A Chinese Odyssey* had been an exceptionally wise decision.

Old Zhao and the others could practically be considered his patrons. If he offended them because of Wang Derong, he would truly lose far more than he gained.

Su Hong and Miao Yue both knew that Tang Yi was powerful, and they had witnessed his strength before. Even so, they had still underestimated him. They had never imagined that Tang Yi could be so formidable. He truly lived up to his reputation as the prodigious disciple who had slain sixty-five Heavenly Beasts in the Heavenly Passage Palace.

The middle-aged man flew into a rage, and the others’ eyes flashed with sharpness as well. They could not help wondering whether Lei Zhantian’s defeat had emboldened the Liu family, making them intend to go back on their word.

After I had walked several steps away, I suddenly heard her begin to cry. It was as though a dam had completely burst at that instant. I paused, but I truly did not dare turn around to look at her, because my own eyes had grown moist as well. I wiped away my tears and ran toward the duty counter.

When Liu Renzhi heard the security captain cheering for him, he was instantly gratified and had been about to praise him a few words.
