Chapter Twenty-Nine: No Mercy in the Deal

Chen Min and Ye Feng entered a private room, which seemed to have been prepared in advance by Chen Min, complete with tea and refreshments. Ye Feng sat down, and Chen Min poured him a cup of tea. Ye Feng didn’t stand on ceremony; he simply nodded politely. “Ye Feng, Yi’er has already told me everything about you,” Chen Min said, taking a small sip of tea. “Uncle Chen, saving Yi’er was really just a small favor,” Ye Feng replied...

Dawn lingered long without breaking; the sky that day was heavy and oppressive. A biting cold wind swept along the long street.

Especially with matters of great importance in foreign trade, without Li Jingxiao presiding, nothing would proceed.

As the Son of Heaven, even if he truly was at fault, it was impossible to accept the other’s constant sarcasm toward him.

Eunuch Wei’s words were quite sincere; he was likely afraid that Wanying might inadvertently wander into a forbidden place and offend some revered presence.

She placed great importance on her son’s marriage. She had originally arranged the engagement with Liu Ruran, and had always hoped that this child would be together with her son, Lin Yucheng.

“If you need it now, you can come to finance and get it,” Zhang Zhiyuan said to me.

“I just don’t understand—right now the court can barely attend to the starving people. With Lord Shi helping out, what’s wrong with that?” Feng Xiuyao, no longer caring about his brother’s attempts to stop him, rolled his eyes—just in time for the Empress Dowager to catch it.

Qian Sanyun later learned that all expenses for the foundation-laying ceremony had been covered by Gaoshan Town, including the rental fees for six bulldozers and excavators, which were also paid by the town government.

In fact, Su Qishun already knew that his shrewish wife had arrived, but he didn’t dare face her. Now, with the hospital director calling, he was afraid things would escalate, so he forced himself to hurry over.

Wen Cang said, “I forgot to have him check on the whereabouts of Gongsun Changman!” With that, he turned to go back.

Time continued to pass. Chu Xiao still had his eyes closed, as if unaware that Junzi Sword had already completed the construction of the Taiji String Realm structure.

Thus, both factions grew powerful once again, and the cultivation craze surged anew. As the population increased, the frequency of wars rose as well. What had begun as battles every ten years, then every five, three, one, had now developed into one battle every three months.

“Your Majesty, Hao Meng has already been captured,” came the report just as Liu Bian, surrounded by the Imperial Guards, entered the city and heard the good news.

Angel was about to speak when she saw a massive black shadow suddenly appear behind Milia—a huge figure with a metallic head and powerful arms. In the most unseemly part below its waist, there was a protruding head. That head now opened its outer armor and began gathering energy.

He had slept soundly in the mustard seed space—a rest more comfortable than any he’d had in years. Once he was fully rested and thought of the upcoming ranking competition, he specially refined some restorative pills before emerging from the mustard seed space.

No one could say for certain how the Sagrosians had built such a massive altar back then, nor what their purpose was in constructing it.

At that moment, Chi Yu happened to glance back at him. A fleeting smile appeared on his face and was gone in an instant; his eyes rested on Dong Xinlei, then on him, before he turned away and looked no more.

Cao Ren and Cao Hong exchanged glances, each seeing the unwillingness in the other’s eyes. Yet both felt that Li Dian’s words made sense. For the moment, neither could make a decision. However, Cao Hong—renowned for his martial skills—knew himself no match for Ma Chao, so he truly had no idea what to do.

“Prepare yourself. Calm your mind and regulate your breathing. Open the Five Elements Source Power—I’ll help you return to your origin,” Pingfan said, raising his left hand. Instantly, a streak of blue light flashed across the sky, and the vast moonlight poured down like water.
