44. Hired a Shop Assistant

"Little butterflies, little butterflies, can you help me find where my master is?" Holding two butterflies in her palms, Jiuzhu murmured softly. She hadn't seen her master for a very, very long time; could her master have forgotten about her?

Ruan Jin had always been a filial person and deeply cherished his younger sister, Madam Mo, with the meddling Old Madam Ruan standing between them.

Left behind, Mother Tian shouted for a long time before falling into a state of depression, wondering why her daughter's thoughts were so completely different from everyone else's.

Seeing Ah Jiu's resolute expression, Junior Official Shen grew uncertain. Could there really be such a mathematical genius? Why hadn't such talent fallen upon him? A mixture of jealousy and envy swirling in his chest, Junior Official Shen irritably waved his hand, signaling for Ah Jiu to leave.

"We met three years ago at the Jingsheng Teahouse in Changxing City; Proprietor Liu seems to still remember me." Recalling their reunion at the commandery prince's manor, she brought up their initial encounter in Changxing City, knowing full well that he still remembered her.

That familiar scent and warmth gave her the illusion of returning to the past. Through countless nights in the past, they had slept embraced just like this.

If an esper were to lose their ability, they would have no choice but to rely on physical combat, just like an ordinary person.

Patrol guards constantly paced back and forth through the camp, though they took great care to make no sound, striving to create a peaceful sleeping environment for the resting members. From time to time, they peered at the outside situation through the gaps between vehicles, maintaining a rigorous attitude without the slightest bit of distraction.

"I don't want your charity." He sneered, turning his face toward the calm lake surface as willow catkins swayed above his head.

Hearing those words, He Silang finally broke into a radiant smile. Winning his father's approval had been his greatest wish over the past few years.

With a loud clatter, the door closed, and the room plunged into silence, leaving only the sound of the wind and rain outside lashing against the window lattice.

Only then did Chen Fusheng calm down slightly, waving his hand to signal the guards to release Chen Jingshu.

At this moment, the tears in Su Mo's eyes finally broke free, sliding down her cheeks like pearls falling from a severed string.

This class reunion was organized by Ma Shiran. Her family owned a corporation worth hundreds of millions, and rumor had it they even had ties to the underworld.

For the first ten rounds, Skinny Niu and the disciple positioned at the "tip of the sword" managed to hold their ground without losing the upper hand. In fact, they pressed the opponent to the point of near defeat, prompting disciples in the rear ranks to immediately rush forward with assists.

"Step aside a bit." Mrs. Sifus adjusted her angle around Xu Weiwei, shooing her cumbersome husband off to the side.

Opening her eyes, the first things to greet her vision were light blue curtains and white bedding. She was still wearing the same outfit she had on before fainting.

Qiao Wan was quite curious about Shen Zi's family background, but felt too embarrassed to ask. On her drive back to Jihe Court, she dialed Jiang Zhaojiao to ask if Ye Yanchi had an older sister.

Lu Jin was currently leveraging her influence to secure political achievements, while she relied on his authority to amass wealth. Once this fellow received a promotion, she could rely on him to step onto an even broader stage.

It was too tattered to mend, yet he dared not throw it away. If he couldn't acquire ration coupons, he would have no choice but to keep wearing it come spring.

He had no intention of continuing to game tonight. Having played for a full day, he needed to walk around a bit to relieve the discomfort caused by prolonged sitting.

Later on, the innkeeper finally managed to chase away these enthusiastic folks. Surveying the inn, which looked as though it had been thoroughly ransacked, the innkeeper could not help but feel like crying without tears.

While Dong Mingchun and the others were chatting, Dong's father scored another catch on camera—a crucian carp about the size of a palm, officially kicking off their harvest for the day.

During this period, Liu Wei once again summoned a reinforcement of two hundred thousand troops from the southwestern wilderness, placing them entirely under the command of Long Chengyan.

Such a massive physique was impossible to conceal in the night, so the moment the Holy Divine Tree moved, Yun Cangye spotted it instantly.

Ning Tian's flesh and blood dissolved entirely, his soul burning away as all his power was compressed into a single point, pressing close toward that ray of "light." When the destructive force of the abyss receded, this point revived and expanded once more, utilizing the blood on the All-Things Lock to reshape Ning Tian's physical body.

Yet looking at it now, both the Childish Heart Fiend and the City of Gold harbored sinister designs regarding the Coffin of the Dead Earth.

Due to the critical importance of the golden-veined rice, the image-recording equipment in the rice paddy space was the most advanced in the Azure Nether Star.

"Understood, Senior Brother." Zhang Chengyong and the other two acknowledged, descending to the ground alongside Long Tiantian and slowly walking toward Leng Yi's direction.

Just as Liu Wei was about to demand how he could be so certain, darkness suddenly fell over his eyes, and he lost consciousness in an instant.

I fell silent once again. I still had no desire to speak with Cui Chengshan at the moment; in this entire affair, I was the nominal victim and fully occupied the dominant position.

After interacting with his fans in the livestream for a while, Li Chong glanced at the six ghosts still locked in fierce combat within the main hall.

Instead, the true stumbling block came from the blood wings sprouting behind the Evil Wing Prince; these very blood wings were his greatest hindrance.

Midway through the brutal battle, Wang Chen heard the sound of the village gates swinging wide open. Shocked, he looked down hurriedly to see a somewhat robust Soul Demon tribesman waving his arms to summon Jitali in the distance.

Judging by Chu Fei's performance in this competition, coupled with the Night family's maneuvering, it probably wouldn't take long for Chu Fei's military rank to surpass all of theirs.

Lin Feng gave Thor a hand gesture and a meaningful look, indicating that he had everything under control, so Thor said no more.

Yan Xue suddenly realized that the man had easily accelerated and caught up to her with effortless grace. Refusing to play the easy victim—as sitting idly by waiting for death was simply not her style—she immediately brandished her double daggers and spun around to counterattack.
