Chapter 84: Contentment

A man who has had all his desires satisfied is always easy to talk to, and Zhou Ci thus let Gu Shenshen return to Lizhou without the slightest trouble.

The news of Gu Shenshen’s bankruptcy had already spread through Lizhou long before. Those who envied her were the first to rush about telling everyone.

However, since the Lizhou Group had nothing to do with the Magnolia Hotel, as long as it brought no harm or impact to the Lizhou Group...

As soon as the words fell, the package was opened. Several beautiful sets of clothing spread out before Gu Shengge’s eyes. He picked up a pale green dress and unfolded it. The tailoring was exquisitely delicate, and the patterns on it had all been stitched by hand, without the ornate complexity of court dress, simple yet refined in every detail.

“Last night, the city lord’s mansion in this city seemed to make some moves.” The Sword Master of Dugu glanced at Lord Luo and said.

They wanted to change this world, yet did not know how to change it. They looked down on the old era, yet were still influenced by some of its ideas.

Yun Qing did not quite understand such complicated feelings, but even seeing it made him feel uneasy and stifled, as though he were still lacking in ability.

After leaving those words, Nico Robin followed up with Medi and began asking what special treatment she might receive if she changed jobs.

“Didn’t you go to Zhengzhou? Why have you come back again?” As he spoke, tears could no longer be held back and streamed down her face.

But Liu Xiling herself felt nothing at all. Only the stillness of time returned to her body, leaving her fixed in place as though she had been cast into a wall of concrete.

If not for the honorary guild chairman, Mr. Medi, who happened to pass by with an umbrella, stand before him, and elevate him to the position of guild chairman, he would long since have starved to death on the streets.

“Cultivation?” Gu Shengge automatically ignored the latter part of Ying Lei’s words and asked in confusion, “You want me to learn martial arts? How am I supposed to learn?” Was he going to teach him personally?

Watching Banjira swallow that attack without so much as a struggle, a flash of delight crossed A’ju’s eyes. Because the poison powder of the Moth Beast was a full-effect ability, even if that move could not bring Banjira down, at the very least it should leave Banjira unable to move.

The next instant, the two powerhouses hastily unleashed energy spheres and beams of light to resist the enormous fireball, but the moment they met, they were still swallowed whole by it.

Over the years, because the Sacred Land Shi family had fallen from power, the Ice Palace Shi family had also declined sharply in status. The great families of the Ice Palace kept squeezing the Shi family. Shi Jue could not help but wonder if this would incur the wrath of the Ice Palace itself. Yet at the thought of Bing Wen, his heart eased somewhat.

“Is it all right that Young Master Chu is not here? Will the Second Prince complain?” Truly obsessed with tea, even within the Heavenly Vault Hall, Jun Wunian could not resist borrowing teaware and fine tea, and while carefully brewing them, he asked in a calm voice.

“Yes, you did very well. If things go smoothly, I guarantee you will enjoy wealth and honor for the rest of your life!” Zhou Jiegun said with satisfaction.

By evening, A Zhan finally quieted her sobs. With eyes red as a rabbit’s, she slowly chewed her food while listening to Wu Yan mutter beside her.

I think we should go out and look around. Whether these people are already infected and are about to mutate or not, at the very least we should bring back some food. We have not eaten for so long that I can already feel the weakness brought on by hunger.

The wooden fish and clear chimes awakened the mortal world, while ritual instruments sounded together with bright, ringing notes. More than a thousand disciples sat in solemn stillness, eyes half closed, devout and focused. Within the lecture hall of the Taiqing Temple, a clear and resonant chant filled the air.

Violent, dense earth spiritual energy shocked Reinor’s spirit. He circulated the method of the Dragon-Elephant Sword Qi, steadied his mind, and slowly guided it onward.

But after waiting several dozen seconds, the computer displayed that the network could not be connected. Ye Fusheng was dumbfounded. What on earth was this network cannot connect thing? So Ye Fusheng logged in again, but the result still showed that it could not connect.
