The morning market in Shanyang County was still bustling. Besides the townspeople, many villagers from the surrounding areas also came early to buy goods. Although it was Yun Yi and Yun Yin’s first time calling out to sell something, they showed no nervousness at all. Especially Yun Yi—once she squeezed into the crowd, she began to sweetly shout, “Fruit leather for sale! Delicious fruit leather! Try before you buy, if it’s not tasty, you don’t have to pay!”

Yun Yin wasn’t as outgoing as her sister, but she put in the effort, raising her voice, “Fruit leather for sale—”

Mu Jing grabbed Yuan Lin’s hand, turning his palm upward. This movement drew the side-eyes of the other two immediately.

No matter how the three acted, the soldiers around them kept their faces cold, showing not a hint of pity.

Murong Danyan laughed loudly from the side. The man in fine clothes flushed, knowing Murong Danyan was mocking his miserable state. Angered, he turned his wrath on Xu Yingyang, striking at him mercilessly.

“Shenglong Mountain?” Bai Qi’s expression was thoughtful, as if the name reminded him of something important.

With her back to the crowd, the flight attendant strode out the door, her swaying figure graceful, yet a smile tugged irresistibly at her exquisite lips.

“It’s just a few monsters, nothing to fuss about,” Ge Long said, snapping the visor down on his armor helmet.

Passing through several collapsed areas, Ge Long saw many corpses of priests and monks crushed beneath the rubble.

Upon discovering yet another of his idol’s hobbies, Bao Guo’s eyes sparkled with surprise. He’d always thought that the rush to supermarkets for fresh produce at dawn was something only elderly human women loved—who knew Jin the big shot and An Nuan shared this penchant?

Hua Zihui hadn’t expected Hua Ziye to be so resilient. He glanced toward the hall, where Hua Tiangeng had indeed come down from upstairs. At this hour, he ought to be at Hua Tiangeng’s side.

Seeing Bai Qi pull out a knife, the crowd below shivered and shrank back, falling silent. Of course, a few hot-tempered ones stepped forward, stiff-necked, and spoke out.

On the other side, two monsters charged at Fu Su and Yu Jinxiu. Both sidestepped swiftly, landing powerful punches to their flanks. The beasts howled, were thrown forcefully to the ground, rolling over before coming to a halt.

Catherine gazed dreamily at Lin Hao, idolizing him as a god. She murmured inwardly: Brother Hao looks absolutely stunning today. No wonder he holds such power in New City—everyone reacts to him like mice to a cat, fearful and respectful.

This round of negotiations was a major event for China. News had already spread nationwide, with people of all ethnic groups, political parties, student organizations, and ordinary citizens paying keen attention. A large number of domestic and international newspapers had dispatched reporters to cover the event.

“There are four floors in all,” Zhang Minghao rubbed his forehead. Although Liu Jiaxing was with them on this trip, he still felt that things wouldn’t be as straightforward as they seemed.

Considering the ways of wealthy families, secret marriages and the like weren’t uncommon, so he didn’t dwell on it excessively.

Everyone gathered around, cheerful at the thought of moving into their new house and receiving the one million yuan in cash.

The villagers watching erupted in excitement, each eagerly pulling out their bills and obediently placing them into the strong man’s bronze tray.

Gradually, faint coughing could be heard from the smoke. Everyone craned their necks, eyes bloodshot, to peer inside.

Bumblebee’s voice system had been damaged in a battle with Megatron, so he couldn’t speak. Instead, he expressed himself by selecting lines from movies and television that matched what he wanted to say.

Wang Xunda clutched his head, “I don’t know either!” He understood that his father was asking if he still planned to work at Chengzhuang.

Under the respectful gazes and loud cheers of the crowd, the sect leader took his seat at the enormous central throne. Instantly, an earth-shaking aura swept from the throne, surging across the entire dueling ground.

When he appeared at the Star Sect, everyone was startled, for Song Yu had always cultivated within the Song family and never joined the sect. His sudden presence at the Star Sect sparked much discussion—people speculated there must be some hidden reason behind it.
