Chapter 49: Extreme Mission: Become the Top Star of the Fragrant Hundred Pavilion!

In an instant, everyone's gaze fell upon Shen Shuyi.

Pei Dongzhou had entered the Heshou Hall earlier and happened to hear the Old Madam and Pei Nanzhou discussing matters concerning the third young master. He also intended to observe Shen Shuyi's reaction, so he simply stood quietly to the side.

Upon seeing Shen Shuyi's intense reaction, he immediately understood the situation in his heart. Barring any unexpected circumstances, Susu must be Shen Shuyi; otherwise, this woman would not have been agitated to this extent.

Not only Pei Dongzhou had concluded this matter...

Upon seeing this, the leader thought to himself that it was settled. This was wonderful, as he could now return and report on his mission. As for whatever else Zheng Xu had said to the Vietnamese journalists, what did that have to do with him? Wasn't that a foreign affair?

The reporter was extremely excited. One could easily imagine that once such remarks were broadcast, they would inevitably capture the attention of the entire internet and trigger a global earthquake.

However, everything ultimately depended on whether they could achieve a flawless first-clear this time. Only with a flawless first-clear could the entire illustrated handbook of their homeland be unlocked; otherwise, the robot production line could not be obtained, making the plan to construct the fortress rather difficult.

"Chu Chen, how immensely bold of you to dare slaughter someone from the School of Law! By the order of the third elder of the School of Law, I have come to take your life!" Fa Ren stepped through the air as he walked out.

When he first returned through rebirth, Luo Yi had intended to follow the path of a titled warrior. Because he was already familiar with a warrior's combat style, it was his greatest advantage and something he could not simply abandon. However, with his subsequent evolution and growth, both the innate abilities he acquired and the strength of his personal psyche laid the foundation of a mage.

Lilith's pink, high-light-deprived eyes gradually regained their dewy clarity, and her rose-gold hair also reverted to pure gold, though a faint trace of the dazzling splendor still lingered.

If not for the sake of the steamed buns, one must at least fight for one's pride. Losing meant at worst working for free, but if he didn't even dare to show his face, Luo Yang was truly afraid that it would leave some kind of psychological shadow in his mind.

At this moment, Rao Xingping cast an eager gaze, desperately hoping that Zhong Zili would not stab him in the back right now and would instead put in a few good words for him.

As long as he stored enough fierce beasts, Ling Jiuyou was confident in maintaining that extreme combat state indefinitely.

The path chosen by Zhao Wanji was precisely the same path that Deng Xueling had walked previously—relying on herself and striving unceasingly to grow strong.

However, as she grew older, she also became more sensible and learned to show reverence. Knowing the family backgrounds of people like Li Xiang and Su Yuhan, she also understood how to interact with them properly.

Because the genes of mutants were unbalanced and they were merely semi-finished products on the path of evolution, the genes they contained possessed an extreme desire for evolution. In contrast, the bloodline genes preserved within the new humans were stable, successful, and full of hope. Thus, the new humans had become the most ideal evolutionary nourishment for mutants.

If Zhou Yue had not used a full twenty points of divine power internally to catalyze countless grass seeds this time and caused massive chaos, the projected faction would have been absolutely impossible to conquer.

He was not awakened automatically because his injuries had healed, but rather roused by the shout of "occupying the latrine without taking a dump."

Mu Chunqiu felt utterly desolate inside. He was the one who had incited the wild oxen to attack Wuyong City this time. He had thought that with the status of the wild oxen as a king among the myriad demon palaces of the Demon Realm, he could smooth over any problem. When the time came, not only would he be able to obtain Wuyong City, but he could also get his hands on the fragments of the Six-Path Wheel.

Xiao Bongan went to sleep relatively early today. In other words, the time he spent lying in bed was a bit earlier than usual. He was increasingly discovering that when he lay in bed, he could contemplate issues much better. Perhaps this was a rather strange habit.

The entire banquet proceeded in a very harmonious atmosphere. The chieftains of several other mountain strongholds clearly looked down upon Xiao Yu. After all, Xiao Yu had only brought four hundred and fifty heavy cavalrymen, whereas any medium-sized stronghold among them possessed a force numbering in the thousands or even tens of thousands.

Your humble servant believes that the fragmentation of the realm and the division among warlords in the present day stem from the excessive power wielded by local officials. Civil administration, judiciary, supervision, military affairs, and the recommendation of officials were all monopolized by a single individual, allowing them to gather cliques and cultivate cronies to the point where they grew too formidable to be controlled.
