After her son left, she moved as well. Without involving her son or daughter-in-law, she hired movers and relocated from the west side of the city to the north side. Yet, living in the north did not bring the convenience she had imagined; instead, it caused many inconveniences.
By now, the strategic intent of Kasinbas had become very clear. Yeluchi Xian and others, being senior military officials, naturally understood this. Their recent deployment to Shazhou on the Hexi Route was precisely to restrain the opponent’s strength.
Xiao Baichuan shot him a glare but said no more. With so many visitors coming daily to discuss business, he was indeed quite busy.
It was highly likely that he would rightfully take possession, under the pretense of managing their investments. Where the money might end up was anyone’s guess. Zhu Zhu would only receive what Wu Haomin exaggerated as a grand economic empire.
Fu Xinrui shouted unhappily. What sin had she committed to be treated so by the man she loved? Several servants left amid her sobs. Suddenly, her phone rang, and reluctantly she answered—it was Ji Shangnan.
“This is bad!” Li Yun suddenly thought of a possibility, quickly withdrawing his spiritual awareness, then probing beneath the ground around him. Sure enough, a large mass of shadows lurked underground, precisely where Li Yun had scouted the path earlier.
“That was the betrothal gift money given to her; why should I take it?” Wu Haoming was truly furious at his elder brother’s rude demand, speechless.
“Ziqian, don’t go.” A soft whisper, a solid arm blocking Ziqian’s slender waist, holding tight as if afraid she would leave.
They left with 60,000 cavalry, but returned with just over 80,000. Under Xin Kemi’s command, Zhang Zhenfen led 30,000 cavalry in pursuit. Yet, upon seeing their ranks, Haotian was dumbfounded—could this even be called an army?
The six-armed demon dragon’s heart was a storm of terror, but Chu Xuan had no time to care. After much effort, he had severely wounded the demon dragon; such a golden opportunity could not be missed.
Just moments ago, he was delighted to have embedded three combat power stones, boosting his power by 110,000. Now, a chill ran down his spine. If this young man really was Huo Ziang’s recruit, he fully understood what would happen next.
With that thought, Chu Xuan wasted no time and plunged into the raging torrent of light.
“It’s nothing, just feeling that the elderly have it hard,” Lin Qianyu smiled gently, showing no bitterness. Yu Musen gazed into Lin Qianyu’s clear eyes, warmth flowing through him. In the end, Qianyu was soft-hearted; he knew she didn’t want to put him in a difficult position.

After receiving the trophy from a veteran of the entertainment industry, Su Mo politely bowed her thanks. Turning to face the audience, Lan Fengchen nodded to her.
Whether magical instruments or treasures, once used they maintain a connection with their owner. The degree of that connection varies by artifact. Typically, flying sword-type treasures have especially close links with their owners, as they require agile control after launch.
Wang She shouted fiercely, shaking his snake-shaped longsword. Instantly, countless snake-shaped sword energies surged forth like a raging storm towards Chu Xuan, each sword energy slashing the void and tearing a long spatial rift.
This was a storage ring from a Marquis-level peak expert; Hong Yu had just given it away without even looking, handing it to himself and his brothers?
Hearing Han Feng say “no,” Han Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief, pulling off his tie and tossing it on the table, sweat breaking out from fright.
Xiao Nanye frowned slightly, bending down to silence her endless chatter. Since there were no debts between them now, some matters should be addressed ahead of time.
Zhao Desheng was utterly terrified. If not for Cai Yuanjun intercepting the ice spear aimed at him, his fate would have been identical to Wang Ben’s.
“Uh, well…” Kong Luan’s face showed embarrassment. He averted his eyes, wanting to avoid the topic, but couldn’t resist Zhao Han’s piercing gaze and nodded.
However, if Chen Xuan had been paying attention to the Nine Profound Talismans earlier, this talisman record wouldn’t have been preserved until now.
“Longyang!” Next, Zhu Hongyuan casually pulled Tian Tian into a bear hug.
Wind, fire, thunder, cloud... four different spiritual rune attributes were involved, each mastered deeply.
Seeing Sangouzi’s ghostly expression, the man grumbled irritably and instinctively touched his bald head. But that casual touch brought him a mixture of surprise and joy.
“Wait here for me; I’ll bring the clothes I picked out for you to try on!” Li Hanyun said, chatting with the clerk as they began selecting garments in the spacious store.

“All right! Here’s a fifth-rank crystal stone for you!” Li Siguang handed over a crystal he had been showing off to Shi Jingtian just yesterday.
Just as Lin Jingyi stepped in, a large group followed, clearly not patients by the looks of them.
Lin Jingyi frowned. He had a good impression of the elder moments ago, but now, upon hearing what wasn’t a particularly unreasonable request, the elder refused rudely, showing no regard even for Liu Hekun’s face.
“Great Shaman, the young master has returned and said he will treat you to lunch.” Zuobie’s expression was solemn—perhaps it had been different before, but now, this was all that remained, for in his eyes, the Beihai Bear was already ruined.
Qiu Mu recalled Han You’s repeated warnings from last night’s end, remained silent, choosing not to answer.
After the Gu Queen stopped her from continuing, she did not immediately give a reason, but looked at Chen Bo with some tenderness.
“This feeling... is truly disgusting.” Yoxisa, naturally immune to the power of light, panted anxiously.
“I’m just helping Sister Li Yan a bit; it’s not that impressive,” Song Qing smiled shyly, momentarily distracted, and clumsily pushed the freshly washed dishes back into the sink.
“Then why didn’t you say so earlier?” Li Shimin sat down again, forced to say this for the sake of his dignity.
