Chapter 27: People from City B Safety Base Have Arrived
Perhaps feeling somewhat guilty for waking Chu Jiangyue twice before, the little fox truly didn't disturb her the next day, letting her sleep until she woke naturally.
Chu Jiangyue took her time washing up, had breakfast, and only then came out.
Today, Chu Jiangyue paired a stylish industrial-strap dress from her wardrobe with black combat boots.
Her wavy hair cascaded down to her waist. Were it not for the ruins still surrounding Jianglin Hotel, seeing Chu Jiangyue like this would…
Minghe Patriarch wore an expression of smug satisfaction, fully aware this act would make his deeds known throughout the Primordial World.
Beside them, Shimura Emiko struggled to suppress her laughter. She didn't know what it felt like to see her infant self, but serving as her own godfather was proving almost too much to contain.
However, Zhunti and Jieyin's thick skin was no joke—facing the mockery of nearly three thousand people, there wasn't the slightest change in their expressions.
"Fu Shaocheng, this is my first time taking care of someone. Don't be ungrateful." Xi Baiwei was furious, her cheeks puffing up like steamed buns again.
She realized there had been too many things happening lately, leaving her no time to calmly plan for her shop affairs. She could only hope that after leaving the palace today, she might finally have some free time.
This greatly worried Sir Paul, prompting him to seek help even more frequently—sending gifts and greetings at least three times a day, his gestures so impeccable that even the entire city of London couldn't help but be moved.
To become the richest person, even just the richest in Britain, would take at least half a year. Unless there was a way to extend his lifespan, he might as well return to settle his affairs and prepare to reclaim his avatar's energy.
A metallic clang rang out, followed by the crisp shattering of glass echoing through the void.
Holding the Fool's Tarot card, walking on the empty streets of Washington, unsure whether [Seghol]'s assistance on her had any effect.
Reading this, Yun Lianqing's heart turned ice-cold, her eyes widened considerably, filled with terror as she began struggling even more intensely.
Liu Feng's sudden shout startled the already tense Jiang Xue, who shot him an annoyed glare.
The golden-robed mage's heart chilled as he finally realized Lyon's ambitions had surpassed even the Mage Association.
"Hmm, no need to worry about that. Even if a Transcendent Realm expert comes, we can hold our ground somewhat," Feng Yuxiu sneered.
Indeed, this hulking figure had never truly fallen asleep, but had remained conscious all along—or rather, this had been the case for quite some time now.
Gu Feng had always disliked dithering in his work; quite the opposite, he was decisive and swift - when he decided to do something, he would act immediately. Having made up his mind, he prepared to head out.
After speaking, Sha Feihong instinctively scanned their surroundings, as if worried someone might be watching them covertly. Just then, however, his gaze was drawn to the sandpit Yang Fan had previously created.
No one expected her voice to be so melodious, so gentle, so sweet - listening to it felt like being tightly wrapped in an incredibly soft quilt on a freezing winter day.
This was indeed highly probable - whether for a nation, a family, or a sect, periods of prosperity are inevitably followed by troughs of decline.
The advisor and Li Xiaolan exchanged glances, both inwardly smiling bitterly. These people were clearly too deeply poisoned by Zhong Gufeng's influence. After all, men are all the same: a wife is never as good as a concubine, a concubine never as good as a prostitute, a prostitute never as good as an affair, and an affair never as good as an unattainable desire—what one cannot have will always seem the best.
Such a sound, if heard on Earth, would likely cause one's seven orifices to bleed and death to follow swiftly. But here on the Nine Heavens Continent, with everyone protected by their vital energy, they could endure it for quite some time.
Shen Mianhe, who had remained silent after greeting Celestial Master Tianji upon leaving, had already pieced together part of the situation from these brief exchanges. Hearing Jian Yi reprimand Qin Sicheng for slander, he naturally believed it to be true.
