Chapter 24: Selling Hides? Sun Xiao'e Gets a Beating
Qin Feng, who had been sitting beside Old Man Duo, gasped in astonishment upon hearing his words.
"A century-old wild ginseng?!"
"That’s right, it’s right there in the den of those wolf pups you slaughtered!" Old Man Duo said with satisfaction.
Qin Feng was completely stunned. Old Man Duo was talking about a century-old wild ginseng! This was a rarity, not even considering the current scarcity... Furthermore, Natasha was no ordinary woman; she would certainly insist on a spectacular, world-renowned wedding to ensure she was married off in grand style.
Ding Lingyun sat beside Chu Huandong, inwardly admiring his cunning and strategy. These fools had tried to unite to topple him, but they never expected Chu Huandong to turn the tables and capture them all in one fell swoop, effectively unifying the underworld from that day on.
"Don't worry, I know what we make ourselves; it’s all quality material and good cotton. You know what? I’ll buy two pairs. Ruyi is quite mischievous; I’ll save them for him to wear." Taking a deep breath, Ruyi’s mother finally calmed herself down, her speech becoming steady again.
At first, Chu Huandong would not allow Niuniu to go to kindergarten. When he went to the office, she went with him; when he went home, she went with him. He even brought her along to business social functions, keeping her within his sight at all times.
Finally, the trace of curse energy lurking within Gu Lan’s body was stripped away and assimilated by Bai Yi’s own curse energy.
She had betrayed Chu Huandong and forced him away, yet he had gone to such great lengths to maintain a facade of peace, leaving behind a tranquil space for her.
"General Sprague, what should we do now? Every battleship is sending telegrams asking for instructions. How are we supposed to respond..." The communications officer shouted, his face deathly pale. He knew all too well what was about to happen. The Japanese main fleet had suddenly appeared before them. This battle was impossible to win.
Su Yanchi’s intentions could not have been clearer: he wanted to pursue Wang Zhangzhu again. Even if Xu Yiming had sincere intentions for Wang Zhangzhu’s well-being, he was a married man, and it was best to leave the opportunity to woo her to others.
Ling Xue heard a sound and saw a man approaching with a swagger, wearing white sneakers, jeans, and a floral shirt. He wore sunglasses and had both hands in his pockets, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
At first, Xie Fei wanted to hide in the spatial turbulence, but once inside, those Fighting Gods could unleash their full strength, and he would never be a match for them. It was safer to stay outside.
Hua Chuanzi’s clothes were soaked through. They were outside the house, and without air conditioning, they were already drenched in sweat.
Two days later, Li Mo went to the Prince of Qi’s residence to pay his respects to Ning Shijing. Upon entering the gate, he suddenly caught sight of Sanbalagu, who also recognized Li Mo but lowered his head and turned away to avoid him.
When Song Yuqing’s gaze fell upon Gu Wanxue vomiting in agony through the monitor, his heart felt as if it were tightening, and his fingers gripped the edge of the table hard.
Although the matter was already set in stone, it was better to finish it early for peace of mind, lest any unexpected complications arise.
Li Feng had only found this secret passage by following the map; without it, it would have been nearly impossible for him to discover.
Of course, some people showed looks of disdain. Most of these were single people who had always detested such blatant displays of public affection.
Thin wisps of smoke rose from the target circles that had been shot. Before long, the temperature inside the circular passage seemed to rise, and beads of sweat appeared on the soldiers' faces.
"Very well, sir, please wait a moment. I will be right back." The middle-aged man turned back toward the store's rear entrance and headed up to the second-floor office.
With such a vast territory, if he had to conquer it all by himself, how many years would it take? How many tanks and cannons would he have to produce?
"Alright, the seven of you, perform your respective duties and keep the shop running well for me," Chen Liangyu commanded the remaining seven robots.
"Ah Nuan, don't you feel that those who are not of our kind must have a different heart?" the Master of Jinghong Valley asked Fu Yunnuan playfully.
In fact, after Tang Yin ran back to her room, she was waiting for Mo Mo to come looking for her. If Mo Mo really came, she would lock him out and refuse to let him in. Then, she would seize the chance to humiliate him until he was seething with rage, only to jump out at the perfect moment to make amends.
As the saying goes, true powerhouses never worry about how strong their opponents are; they only consider whether they have opponents at all, and whether those opponents are evenly matched.
Suddenly, a loud crash came from the city gate. It was unclear when Gu Hong had officially begun his assault. The shaking of the gate filled everyone with intense anxiety.
I knew it! How could I have leveled up without doing anything? It turns out it was just a dream. Sigh, when will I finally earn ten thousand experience points to level up?
Five days later, Li Deyi was impatient for the day to arrive, thinking to himself that in five days it would be the Lantern Festival, and it was time to call his elder brother.
Tsk tsk, this was incredible. Before long, the messages replying to him made his hands tremble. One look, and he nearly slapped his own thigh in excitement.
As soon as Lian Qingqing finished this sentence, she reached for the sword at her waist, but her hand grasped empty air. She suddenly remembered she hadn't brought it when she went out to buy groceries. Her face turned deathly pale—with a sword, it would be one thing, but without it, how could she deal with so many men wielding blades?
So that was what it meant all along. Wang Dong checked the time; his sleepiness had been driven away by her anyway, so he decided to just get out of bed.
With her mother by her side, Yu Xiaomo naturally wouldn't take the initiative to talk to Xing Yue; she didn't want her mother pestering her with endless questions later.
Wang Yuan’s stamina was actually being depleted even faster than his own. Although he had lost his weapon, Wang Yuan likely hadn't fared well after being struck by his punch.
This meant that if Yang Meng jumped in now to help Wang Yuan finish off Zhang Zuohu, even if the local police investigated, the military had enough backbone to stand their ground without needing to report to them. Yang Meng had the authority to do so.
