Volume 1, Chapter 44: Escorted to the County Yamen

"That won't do," Liu Feng said with a grin. "Your husband hasn't had enough yet."

Mu Wanqing sighed. This husband of hers was truly too formidable. "Husband, why don't you go chase Lady Xiangyue back and let her stay the night? That way, the burden can be shared. Really, I've had enough. If this goes on, both my sister and I will turn into loose women."

Liu Feng laughed heartily. "So what if you're loose women? I like wives just like you. Whatever you want to do, do it; happiness comes first." With a cheeky smile, Liu Feng pulled both women into his arms, his hands seemingly guided by a built-in radar as they found their targets with pinpoint accuracy. The sisters hurriedly begged for mercy. "Husband, Qing..."

Later, Wu Yun sent a WeChat message, roughly indicating that the whereabouts of Wu Qiutong's mother, Wu Xiujiang, remained unknown, and that he and his friends would continue searching. However, between the lines, it was clear that Wu Yun no longer held much hope for it.

"How is that possible? We both broke through to the Void Realm realm, so why has your strength progressed so much more than mine?" Dongfang Xueqing said in disbelief.

Although Li Luohua and Bai Fuling were extremely worried about the safety of Lin Kongxue and the Demon General, there was nothing they could do at the moment. Rather than wasting time waiting idly, it was better to make the most of the time and cultivate.

Names such as Jin Yuanbao, Jin Yinbao, Jin Zilai, Jin Quanlai, Jin Baoer, Jin Xiuer, and so on—and even the servants and guards bestowed with his Jin family surname—had to be named according to the "name genealogy" predetermined by old master Jin Shanbao.

Twenty minutes later, the roundtable meeting concluded, and Jiang Feng and the others returned to Baoding City once again. All the content of the roundtable meeting had been completely recorded by Saul and publicly broadcasted.

"There are still many beautiful places in the world. Actually, compared to cities, such primitive rural scenery carries a more profound artistic conception," Wang Bugui commented.

"Actually, I mainly came to broaden my horizons, and also wanted to collect the bodies and blood of some primitive fierce beasts. After all, in the place I originally came from, these creatures can no longer be seen," Li Qing said.

Because he was born with a violent temper and had mistakenly injured people's lives back then, he was punished and restrained by his master, who placed a sealing seal of slaughter upon him.

If the number of zombies were very low, it truly wouldn't be able to stir up any big waves. However, Jiang Feng worried that the actual death toll of the zombies was not high, and that more of them had simply gone into hiding.

Looking out into the distance, it was a scene of churning rivers and towering waves everywhere. The floods ran rampant, making the misery of the human world even worse.

"Forget it, whatever, I'll just sleep first," Li Peng thought. The purgatory training camp was a closed-off facility; even if he wanted to help, he didn't have the strength. Forget it, there was no use borrowing trouble by worrying here.

Messages popped up one after another from different people, but Song Shi ignored them all, scrolling straight to "Glasses" and tapping into the chat.

No child would ever forget their mother, especially upon hearing that she had died such a miserable death. She wouldn't care whether her mother deserved her fate; instead, she would transfer her hatred entirely onto everyone who had killed her mother.

With such a vivid precedent right before them, the human cargo on the vehicle became even more docile, not daring to entertain the slightest thought of escape.

In the place known as Wa State, drug trafficking was not only rampant, but scams also existed—and arguably in even greater numbers.

Su Biao now wished he could slap himself twice. Damn it, why had he been so foolish at the beginning? It would have been fine just to call Li Xiao over to intervene; then Yuhang wouldn't have gotten hurt, nor would he have become someone else's vassal.

"I'll go in and take a look," Chen Yu walked in, lifted the white sheet covering one of the deceased, and examined the person's pupils.

Zen'in Toji wore a skeptical look; he had no idea what was wrong with Gojo Satoru that he actually wanted to go toe-to-toe with him.

Opposite the campfire, Shen Manyi's complexion gradually grew rosy, making her look as though her beauty had been elevated to another level.

Unaware of what kind of effect this action would have on the ambiguous atmosphere, she purely wanted to ask his opinion on the color of her lip gloss, though in reality, it was a reckless and foolhardy temptation.

When Miao Qingping launched another sword attack, Lingyun instantly unleashed his ultimate limit, hoping to seize the opportunity to create a chance for a counterattack.

After the battle between Qingyi and Junling Tianxia, Lingfeng's fans rolled up their sleeves, all planning to go wave their flags and make a scene under Qingyi's official social media account.

Not expecting the other party to respond with such an attitude, Baili Sheng cast a indifferent glance at Muzi's face and then closed his eyes.

Upon stepping inside, Lingyun kept hearing a voice muttering to itself. The owner of the voice seemed to have died long ago, and the voice sounded somewhat eerie and ethereal.

"Since that's fine," Ji Yanran immediately stood up, "Mother has prepared so much food. We can chat, and after we eat together, you can leave." Although she didn't particularly like Ran Jiuli, she couldn't send her away as a guest at this moment.

"Then there's no problem. Everyone, please take your seats. A while ago, some unknown lunatics ran into our stronghold to play human bombs. Although they didn't manage to pull anything off, we still have to be on our guard," the silver-suited man explained.

"Yet he is becoming increasingly unfathomable. How do you expect me to rest easy?" Su Chengyu immediately retorted.

Upon second thought, she decided against it. It wasn't out of misplaced mercy, but rather that a red dragon was such a foul creature; she simply didn't want to touch it—it was too utterly repulsive.

Shifting her body aside, a massive tornado, laced with his fury, brushed past Baili Chang and then viciously struck toward the demonic Qi.

One was a young man carrying a long bow and quiver, about the same age as Lu Shaoxi, with a heroic build, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long arms. His facial features were not particularly handsome, but his contours were sharp and defined. Coupled with his sharp gaze, he gave off an extremely formidable and martial aura.

Yingchun was very surprised and hurriedly rose to go welcome Old Mrs. Sun, but Old Mrs. Sun personally lifted the curtain and walked in. As soon as Old Mrs. Sun entered the room, Yingchun felt something was amiss. Old Mrs. Sun wore an angry expression, and the person supporting her was not Maideng, but Zelan. Yingchun's heart couldn't help but leap—could it be that Zelan had stirred up some trouble?

Hearing Zhou Yurong's words, Huang Yuan's brows furrowed tightly. He hadn't seen Zhou Yurong yesterday, let alone promised to accompany her every day.

Everyone said that the current Yingchun was different from the past, no longer the "wooden block" who wouldn't even utter a sound of pain when poked with a needle. Moreover, Yingchun was quite formidable; within the Sun residence, she had first exposed the provocative Chu Jiao, then punished Concubine Chen who didn't know her place, and even Sun Shaozu yielded to Yingchun by two or three parts.

"No, no, there's practically no blood relation..." Gide's mind raced. How could he dare acknowledge that lonely emperor, who was nothing more than a aristocratic puppet, as a relative?

"We must also thank Wan She and Wan Jie. If they hadn't deliberately gone easy on us, Daoist Five Bells and Reverend Kongji, you wouldn't have been able to make it in time," said True Person Chengtian.

Several servants who had followed out from the Rose Manor saw Ye Zi and hurriedly ran over to greet her. Ye Zi returned to the Rose Manor accompanied by the servants.
