Chapter 64: Blood is Thicker than Water

"Well, aren't I back now?" Yao Shan forced a bitter smile, her voice tinged with a hint of helplessness.

As Qin Manyun spoke, she walked over and drew the curtains. The sky was already growing dim, and with the curtains drawn, the room plunged into pitch darkness. With a click, Qin Manyun struck a lighter and lit two red candles. The candlelight reflected upon her mature, charming face, making her look even more alluring.

Shi Zhengjie sat fuming in a high-backed armchair carved with dragons and phoenixes, puffing furiously on a cigar. The dark, gloomy expression on his face completely lacked the open-mindedness and casual demeanor he usually displayed to the outside world.

The meeting the next day was organized by Fatty. When it came to social connections and networking, he was naturally far superior to Zhang Tianyi.

When would they ever recover? It is no exaggeration to say that Azure Dragon is currently, on the surface, the supreme master of the universe. Who would dare to challenge him?

Although the battle on the street was unimaginably fierce, it did not affect the buildings on either side of the road in the least. The houses along the street were protected by formation arrays, so there was no need to worry excessively.

During the artifact-refinement process, Su Zheng deliberately added some materials with a higher density. As a result, although the staff was not large, it weighed nearly eight hundred jin.

The sudden change in the divine tree immediately alerted the two of them. Exchanging a glance, they soared straight up into the sky toward the center of the continent.

Hong Feng had other matters to attend to this evening, so he could not waste all his time on alchemy. He decided to temporarily refine a single cauldron. If six people poured their true essence into one pill cauldron simultaneously, the refining speed would naturally increase drastically. As long as the temperature of the cauldron was properly controlled, it would achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The competition process was not complicated and was divided into two parts. The first part was a melee in which all contestants from each faction entered the arena to fight together, with rankings determined by the order in which they were eliminated.

On the contrary, after Conch Island began producing silver, Xuan Ming would bring a chest of silver to Yun Bing every once in a while—anywhere from five thousand taels on the low end to ten thousand taels on the high end.

Chen Daosheng didn't do anything particularly complicated; he simply used the system to modify it somewhat before handing the phone back to Yu Xi.

"Much better." Out of the corner of his eye, Kong Yanhang noticed that as he rode his bicycle down Colorful Smoke Street, the figures watching him from the alleys were gradually increasing.

With no other choice, I had to listen to Mi Rou and run over to the cashier to buy a basket of game tokens.

After all, cold jade was immensely valuable. If she really had to buy it with money, even if Yun Bing had millions in silver, she wouldn't be able to afford very much.

In fact, he already had a candidate in mind in his heart, but he merely put on an act to probe Ma Xiao's true intentions.

Once the second subject of the examination was announced, Chen Jun began to follow the men of the Ninth Company as they marched southeastward.

The gold-to-currency ratio had instantly collapsed, causing merchants to collectively adopt a wait-and-see attitude, refusing to release any goods onto the market.

Li Mubai gave Qu Leying's voluptuous, rounded hips—clad in a tight hip-skimming skirt—a pinch, drawing a dainty cry of protest from her accompanied by a seductive, sidelong glance.

In her past life, she had never paid much attention to Su Ying. But later on, when she failed the college entrance examination and couldn't even get into a vocational college, Su Ying managed to get into a university. At that time, her mother suggested to her father that she should take Su Ying's place to attend university, and she had also felt that this was a wonderful decision.

Arriving at the company the next day, there wasn't much of importance to do. Taking advantage of a free moment, I gave a call to Zhao Changgeng, primarily to inquire about the acquisition of the factory premises and land from last time.

Qi Changfeng was also getting a bit carried away, his gaze beginning to blur, and he failed to notice these details, instead continuing to recount recent events of his own accord.

"Look, someone is coming out!" Lu Ming pointed forward, and sure enough, the main gates of the Luo residence were slowly opening as people emerged.
