Chapter 65: Returning the Favor

But seeing her like this, Tang Yu was utterly enchanted. Unable to resist, she leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to her soft, fair cheek.

Ye Yue had never imagined that, in such an urgent and chaotic moment, Tang Yu could still find the mind to be so brazen. Outraged, her eyes went perfectly round, leaving her momentarily speechless.

Sensing her reaction, Tang Yu hastily said, “There’s no need to catch anyone. Yue’er, think—who do the soldiers at Beidaying trust the most?”

...

“To speak the truth, I’ll overlook your crimes,” Xiong Jing added, worried that Hong Keng would lie.

“But what about Luan Tingyu?” Yang Zhi still felt uneasy. In truth, it was not the two young heirs of the Zhu family who concerned him most, but Luan Tingyu—a man of great martial skill and unwavering loyalty to the Zhu family.

Dinner finished, and before they knew it, it was nine o’clock. The shutter gates of the department store rolled down, and all the employees breathed a collective sigh of relief. Today had been more exhausting than an entire year’s work. Their bodies ached in places they’d never noticed before, yet rest was still out of reach—they had to complete inventory before they could go home for the night.

White mutton-fat jade, red Langya stones, blue Qiulin gems, and various pieces of colorful coral and glass beads—all these jewels were extraordinary. According to the Prefect of Yingdu’s estimation, a single piece of mutton-fat jade was worth over ten gold, and the total value of the rest amounted to nearly three thousand gold. This foreign merchant had certainly brought ample capital.

Gai Tianli’s full name was the Shaanxi-Xi’an Shengqi Kirin Club Gai Tianli Men’s Basketball Team. Many people couldn’t help but know of this team. It later changed its name to Lithium Power, and after that, moved to Foshishan—now it’s the Guangzhou Securities Long-Lions.

“Father, hasn’t Master Feng always been on friendly terms with Old Wang? And isn’t the Division of Clerks unrelated to the Division of Crafts you oversee? How did such a fine opportunity end up falling to me?” Qiu Yuanyuan voiced the confusion she’d been harboring.

Furthermore, Wu Huateng had recruited more than a dozen loyal youths from her family, training them as second-level cosmic mecha warriors, and had also brought in several dozen first-level mecha warriors.

For someone who thrives on excitement, hearing this left him full of admiration for Sun Wukong. So he went to Flower Fruit Mountain, seeking out Sun Wukong to learn from his experiences and understand what had truly happened—the participants, after all, understand the story best.

Moreover, because these users actively promoted it among their friends, Moonlight Company’s popularity soared—for who among us doesn’t carry a few scars?

“Please wait!” Wang Mao, sharp-eyed, spotted Fulu coming out of the Tai’an Hall ahead, and hurried forward to intercept him.

Once, such words would have left me trembling. Now, though, they felt like the echo of a world forever changed.

With his current strength, Lin Yun found purifying these ordinary clansmen to be no difficult task. By the end of the day, he had already purified half. The rest, he planned to finish tomorrow—he still wanted to explore the depths of the abyss.

“Don’t panic, everyone! We’ll surround him!” At that moment, Celestial Master Fang appeared utterly calm. He shouted a command, shot into the air with a whoosh, and swooped down, his magical treasure casting a shower of light directly at Xiao Rang’s forehead.

Yi Yan’s body convulsed. He now understood the formidable power of the Thunder Realm. Staring blankly at Lei Li before him, a murderous glint rose in his eyes. He gazed at Lei Li, hesitated for a single breath, then suddenly exclaimed in astonishment, “It’s you…?” Clearly, Yi Yan had recognized who Lei Li was.

Then Xiao Rang swept his hand, and with a rustling sound, a cluster of jade slips tinged with a faint red glow flew toward him. He didn’t even glance at them, simply stowing them in his storage bag. With that, Zhang Henrong’s Great Bewildering Wind Formation was utterly broken—Xiao Rang had even extracted every last foundation stone without leaving a trace behind.
