Chapter 133: A Clean Death
"Elder brother, I am well aware that woman will not help us willingly."
Xu Changhong hurriedly added, "But we cannot just stand by and watch that scoundrel Huang and his men implicate you! You... you are the hope of our Xu family!
When it comes down to it, she is merely a woman. So what if she has bewitched those naive fools at the county office to serve her? Once we get a grip on her weakness, she will have no choice but to obey!"
Xu Changmao’s raging inner fire was dampened by—
Of course, the primary reason was the sheer strength of the opponent; otherwise, he would never have stooped so low, regardless of which faction in the Dragon Kingdom he had offended.
Seeing the beautiful young woman collapsing toward him, Li Gongfu was so startled he retreated two steps. With that retreat, the woman landed flat on her face with a loud smack.
Yang Qian had been sleeping lightly; feeling the movement, she woke up, and as she looked up, her gaze locked directly with the other person’s.
The snow arrived unusually early that year. As soon as the month of Liang arrived, the capital city of Shengjing was blanketed in silver overnight. People scrambled to dig out their winter clothes, and the coal shops saw their first wave of booming business for the year.
A man descended from the sky. He was tall, with long, powerful arms and a lean waist; his features were strikingly handsome, and his brow carried an air of heroic generosity that commanded instant admiration. At this moment, he was radiating killing intent, clearly enraged to the extreme. His previous strike, delivered in fury, had wiped out thousands of venomous insects before the city gate, a testament to the ferocity of his power.
Every mission issued by the system gave Jiang Xuan a massive headache, but to earn more rewards, he steeled himself and kept grinding through them.
If he were defeated by sheer strength or if the entire opposing team performed exceptionally well and he lost, he could grudgingly accept it.
But at this moment, Li Mo’s face was as puckered as a bitter melon—all-natural, harmless, and naturally green.
Tang Bingyu was stunned. She didn’t understand why they would suddenly go to an amusement park. It was said that a single ticket to that park cost over six hundred yuan... and once inside, there might be other expenses. Tang Bingyu felt her money might not be enough.
However, the old man’s next sentence was something Jiang Xuan never expected, causing him to nearly cough up a mouthful of blood.
"Insolence! That is the Sixth Prince of my Meng Kingdom—no, wait, he is the Prince Gong now! Your Majesty, I beg your forgiveness for my disciple’s lack of decorum. He has lived deep in the mountains for so long that he is unfamiliar with palace protocols." Daoist Yunmao’s face stiffened. What was this turn of events?
Antu Lei’s voice was loud, and with his deliberate effort, it carried far. Even the strongmen stationed around the parade ground heard it clearly, let alone those seated beside him.
Like the other three nations on the continent, this was a society built on the foundation of Dust Crystal energy. As the most vital source of power, Dust Crystals had integrated into every corner of people’s lives.
Less than three minutes into the game, Mu Jing ruthlessly secured a double kill in the bottom lane, and subsequently began diving the tower repeatedly to slaughter the opposing duo, treating them effectively like a human ATM.
Mo Ran whipped the egg whites and yolks separately using ghost energy, mixed them together, and then poured them into several large molds to set.
The group did not rush to leave, choosing to remain where they were. The mountains and rivers were beautiful, and they took the opportunity to rest while discussing their next steps; after all, they had arrived in the middle of the night, when they were supposed to be sleeping.
Mo Ran looked toward the fence. It seemed the ingredients were scarce; it must be that Qing Xing was away, and Chi Man, unable to control her appetite, had eaten too much.
She had never imagined that the things happening now would come to pass, and she now felt that everything from the past was as illusory as a dream, while this was the true life she led after waking from a grand, bustling fantasy.
Jiang Dong was shocked. This donkey was definitely a ruthless character; otherwise, how could it have survived here alone for half a year? Wandering between two ancestor zombies and staying alive—Jiang Dong admitted that was something he could not hope to accomplish.
