Volume 1, Chapter 55: Money Must Be Spent Where It Matters Most

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Su Wanyue invited the two of them to eat at a popular restaurant nearby.

He had not left just now; he was merely standing nearby making a phone call to handle a sudden emergency at the company.

Hearing this, Leng Lie frowned, his gaze lingering on Tang Yun for a noticeable moment.

Now that he knew where Nian Mei'er had gone, Xiaoyaoxiang felt somewhat hesitant. After all, Ye Prefecture City was a battlefield. Going there meant inevitably facing numerous people from the Central State, perhaps even a few acquaintances. If they recognized him, he would be forced to choose a side, a predicament that would certainly leave him torn.

Arriving at the rear, the Sixth Company and the medical team were still hard at work. For a medical team of just over a dozen people, treating hundreds of wounded soldiers was an immense burden.

He was worried that Tang Yun would have a sudden emotional outburst that her body couldn't handle, and he was equally concerned that Xiao Qi might have sustained internal injuries from that palm strike.

Meanwhile, moving like the mantis stalking the cicada, Ling Feng had taken the Seven-Colored Ghost Lotus from right behind the giant lizard, deliberately leaving behind a single leaf so that the creature could easily track down the rock.

"Master, I will follow your every command! Just tell me where I can unearth the Black Thorn Wood, and I'll go dig it up! Even if I wear my front paws down to the bone, I'll dig out that Black Thorn Wood!" The Venomous Spirit Serpent felt its hope rekindled by Xiaoyaoxiang.

Even among the many beauties she had seen back at the Prince Liu's Estate last time, not a single one could compare to the woman before her eyes.

There was a mixture of truth and falsehood in Xiao Qi's words, to the extent that even he himself could not tell how much of it was real and how much was fake.

Pranya had indeed spoken those words, but her voice grew softer with every single syllable. By the very last word, it had faded into complete silence.

"It is truly rare for Vice President Xiao to be so kind as to remember to check in on me. Out with it, what is it this time?" Ji Nuanxin knew that whenever Xiao Zhe called her, there was bound to be a reason.

She had already begun to harden her heart against him; she refused to let her feelings soften toward him, knowing that if she did, she would only be the one to suffer in the end.

His slightly lowered bangs were parted by the breeze, revealing a pair of crystalline, limpid obsidian eyes that seemed capable of piercing through all the dust and filth of the world. Paired with a matchless, peerless countenance rarely seen in this realm, it left onlookers momentarily stunned, evoking the ethereal presence of a deity descending from the heavens.

"Big brother, I didn't see anything, I don't know anything—thud!" Before Wang Kai could finish speaking, a ghost soldier knocked him unconscious with a single blow from a club.

Enter? Before Yunyi could ask how to get inside, a glowing door materialized on the stone wall beside her. Yunyi had searched for days without finding any switch, yet this door had simply appeared out of thin air. Indeed, her persistence had paid off.

"Still about Ji Xinliang and Xiao Yan, is it? Well? Has Vice President Xiao come up with some brilliant solution, which is why you were in such a rush to summon me and share it?" Ji Nuanxin asked with a seemingly casual, faint smile.

Lin Nuannuan shifted uneasily in her seat. She knew Xue Mingzhu wouldn't just sit there discussing romantic trivialities with her; she feared that once this night passed, the prelude to tragedy would begin.

In Lin Nuannuan's view, Old Dou's eyes were truly miraculous. Even without ever seemingly looking in her direction, she somehow managed to spot everything.

Having figured all this out, I suddenly felt my body lighten, instantly shedding the exhaustion and weakness I had felt moments before.

All the cultivators drew a sharp breath; no one dared to act rashly, and the city gates were packed with a dense sea of heads.

In truth, ever since the construction of the Poseidon aircraft carrier was first put on the agenda several months ago, this was the very first time Ye Xuan had ever set foot here.
