Chapter 52: The Cannon Fodder Fiancée (52)

Upon arriving at the villa, Xie Yanci learned from a servant that Yun Jin had not returned to stay for the past few days.
During the days he was away, the villa was treated like a hotel; she came and went as she pleased.
Suppressing his temper, Xie Yanci had the housekeeper prepare a meal.
Afterwards, he made a call to Qi Ming, instructing a luxury boutique to deliver items matching Yun Jin's measurements straight to the house.
Xie Yanci was a major client, and the money he offered was more than generous.
The luxury boutique was extremely cooperative as well, and within a short time—

The Mohist school advocated universal love and equality among all people, hence subordinates were permitted to talk back to their superiors without it being considered disrespectful.

"Someone you would never expect." Sheng Ling wore an expression suggesting he was reluctant to bring it up, yet he still couldn't help pulling a cigarette from his pocket.

This commotion was no less powerful than a thunderclap from the highest heavens exploding right beside the ear, sending shocks through Lu Qing's physique that left his eardrums aching.

The next day, Gu Xiayang, meticulously dressed, went out early to head to the Peninsula Hotel to meet with Wang Letai.

Jiang Qing nodded with satisfaction. It seemed this scoundrel truly was laden with boundless sins; killing him had actually yielded such a massive amount of merit points.

At this very moment, the soldiers guarding the parapet and the refined lieutenant colonel changed countenance drastically. Hurriedly, they ordered everyone to abandon the wall defense and retreat straight into the village, preparing to use the traps laid within to engage the savage barbarians in urban warfare.

Chi Yujin had caused quite a stir when she entered, and even when she and Zhao Junan went out to the balcony, he had been watching them furtively from a corner.

The agonizing pain of being skinned and having one's tendons pulled provoked the Yamata no Orochi into wailing once more. Its remaining seven heads emitted shrill roars in unison, writhing in agony like dying, struggling earthworms.

"I can successfully enchant gold equipment twice in a row, yet you lot still keep your silver gear hidden away," Zui Mingyue said, finally vindicated as he mocked the surrounding players.

The other hand Lu Bai was keeping in his pocket tightened slightly. From time to time, he glanced at Chi Yujin running ahead of him; she would occasionally turn back to look at him, her gaze carrying a lingering sense that he might vanish.

"There should be no problem. In the state of a soul seed, a mechanist can even possess a mini robot. The more intricate the mechanical body, the better it can unleash its power... A bionic robot crafted from divine source metal is virtually the most perfect vessel," Karenz replied earnestly after careful consideration.

The sun knights instinctively scattered and fled, while Leni narrowed her eyes and swept her sword horizontally. The blade's edge wove a brilliant flash of light like a frozen mirror, precisely sweeping away the stagnant blood.

Since they dared to scheme against that divine axe artifact, they naturally had something to rely on; none of them were simple characters.

Less than ten minutes after Ye Tian returned to the hotel, the doorbell rang twice. Ye Tian pricked up his ears to listen, then walked over and opened the room door.

"Brother, you're an ambitious outsider we can't afford to cross." The leading ruffian supported the groaning man who had fallen to the ground, retreating a few steps with his cronies.

Judging by the geopolitical landscape of the continent of Arad, the battle between Karenz and Sosa was roughly at the level of a divine war.

Sure enough, the few youths opposite only now noticed he was carrying a weapon; their expressions shifted slightly, and they were the first to look away.

"It's a magic-like ability," Lin Ai said, wondering if they had ever read any xianxia novels. If they had, they would understand the current situation, but obviously, this world had no xianxia... Or if it did, it was thousands of years ago, and Lesden and the others certainly hadn't read any.

Besides, judging by the fact that the Heavenly Emperor did not completely destroy the Celestial Palace, those few supreme treasures clearly must have played a part. Otherwise, given the Heavenly Emperor's temperament, how could he possibly allow the Celestial Palace to continue existing? He surely would have completely demolished it long ago.

"Lin Ai, have you told those android troop commanders about YoRHa 2B and the others?" Sophia asked suddenly.

"Perhaps after tonight, the sect will stop searching for the imperial clan of the demon race, and by then, you and I will fight a duel on the martial arts stage!" Elder Lei declared, flicking his wide sleeve and turning away in high spirits.
