Chapter 31: Rickets!

At first, I was only focused on the old lady, but now I could clearly see that although my uncle had a face full of thick whiskers, a closer look revealed that his features were actually quite handsome. While the beard detracted from his appearance, one could still discern the excellent bone structure beneath it upon careful inspection.

Zhang Xin? Chu He’s expression turned strange upon hearing this name. He thought to himself, isn't this the name of my first love? How could it be such a coincidence?

The three great families would unconditionally transfer one-tenth of their respective mining equity to the Mogao Group, which was under Han Feng’s name.

I must not have checked the almanac before leaving today, as I ran into Qu Jing. If I had known, I wouldn't have come all the way here in this scorching heat just to suffer this indignity.

Jing Yue stood outside, watching every move Lan Xi made within the room. Her heart was filled with extreme nervousness, and her vibrant red lips trembled in terror.

In the morning, Jin Qing slipped into the woods and tied the wooden sticks that the spider demon had helped her chop the night before to various hidden locations.

"You can't even remember your own birthday?" Huo Tingzhou directly used her finger to set up a fingerprint lock on his phone, so that even if she couldn't remember the password, she could unlock it whenever she wanted.

To be able to neutralize such a rare poison—it was clear how potent this antidote was. Calling it a cure for a hundred poisons would likely be an understatement.

Liu Gu and the others did not know Xiu Yuan’s true identity, assuming he was merely a subordinate brought along by Lu Manman for some errand. Therefore, they could never have guessed that Lu Manman would never have left behind a weakling like Xiu Yuan without any information.

As for the events of three years ago, she had already inquired about them from Fang Shiyao after giving birth to Chu Jiu. Fang Shiyao told her that although Wutong City had been breached, Chu Kouting and Tang Qinghan were unharmed, which was why she decided to leave.

Lin Zijun was stunned upon hearing this, then stood up dejectedly. After politely saying thank you, he walked toward the exit.

"Bang!" Zheng Ji slammed into the wall of the meditation hall and slid to the ground. He stared at Xuan Bei without moving, his heart filled with horror.

In his mind, since Yuan Xing had killed his brother in front of so many people, even if Lin Wei had a good relationship with Yuan Xing, he couldn't just let the matter slide—after all, there were so many witnesses.

Bo Xiong seemed to have guessed the reason for Chu Tianyu’s actions and wanted to speak up, but was stopped by Bo Qingping.

However, Chu Tianyu ignored him entirely. He drew his Youlong Sword and struck, giving the latter no chance to catch his breath.

Since Ming Huang didn't know what to say for a moment, Nai Ya waved her hand at him, signaling him to leave. Afterward, Nai Ya sat down with Xuan Er.

To capture this abyss tunnel, it would require mobilizing more than half of the King-level powerhouses of Xueyue, but the enemy had already stabilized and would certainly have defenses in place.

Seizing the moment when Old Fifth overexerted himself and couldn't retract his blade in time, the machete in Yuan Xing’s hand landed accurately on his arm. Old Fifth let out a miserable scream as half of his arm, along with the machete, fell to the ground, and he collapsed, wailing loudly.

When space began to shatter, Leng Ning sensed the flow of time, but her "Judgment" did not seem to suppress Attila particularly well.

A piercing white light shone from Ming Yu’s eyes, and the magical power within his body seemed to freeze in an instant. He retreated in panic, leaning against a wall pillar, looking at Chen Jing in shock. This terror arose from his very thoughts; just a moment ago, he felt as if he were standing amidst a sea of corpses and a mountain of blood.

This lethal strike failed to injure Shen Jun. The Demon Bull roared, its eyes appearing as if they were bleeding, and its body vanished once again in a strange manner.

However, the reluctance of the divine weapon, perhaps combined with the violent shaking and struggle caused by Shen Xing Wuji’s provocation, gave Man Li a chance. Man Li seized the divine weapon, but the scorching temperature, which threatened to burn him to a crisp, left him unable to voice his agony. At that moment, he was truly using brute force to contend with the power of the divine weapon.

Based on this single move, Wu Yong knew he was no match for Qi Xin. If their positions were swapped, he could have blocked that punch, but he could not have guaranteed that not a single shred of energy would leak out.

"Who the hell are you?" Qian Hao endured the pain in his palm, forced a calm facade, and asked while launching a venomous attack.

"Someone, summon Xue Caiyi! I wish to see her!" After a moment of thought, he finally retrieved the name from the depths of his memory.

Ye Shaoxuan and Tian Yan lived together day and night, yet he seemed to know very little about this enchanting Heavenly Emperor before him. It seemed necessary to invite him for tea and discuss life in the future.

"You, you are shameless!" James no longer knew what language to use to express his anger; it was clear that the man before him was far too cunning.

Sure enough, she had not walked two steps after getting out of the taxi when she heard arrogant shouting behind her. A motorcycle sped toward her, making a sharp, skillful turn that kicked up a cloud of dust.

In his gut, Da Min always felt as though he were being seen through by the other side. From the aimless wandering of the past few days to the Vietnamese forces accelerating their march, and then to the slowing rhythm tonight—everything felt like an omen.
