When An Songyu and his group finally managed to return home, the members of the demolition office had already ordered the dishes.
junto with them were three people in charge of the neighboring Lin Village.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, the director of the demolition office in charge of Lin Village spoke up first:
"Old Wang, what's the situation on your end right now?"
As he spoke, he also gave a slight nod toward the surveying team nearby.
Director Wang meticulously washed his chopsticks...
As soon as he opened his mouth, he demanded to buy fifty-five percent of our shares. Hearing that made my blood boil; he is simply too overbearing. It is like a toad trying to swallow the sky—his ambition is utterly boundless.
Senior brother, I am so afraid of losing this family bond, and even more terrified of losing such a wonderful girl. If you have any awareness in the netherworld, you must bless her safe return.
Yu Sheng subtly looked over Lian Xu. Her intuition told her that his motives were not pure, yet his attitude was so amiable that it made it difficult for Yu Sheng to treat him too harshly.
The eldest of the Jiang family returned to the main quarters, pushed open the door, and saw his wife and children all inside. Instantly, a surge of anger rushed to his head; taking a few rapid strides forward, he raised his foot and gave Lady Li a kick.
Her toes were white, soft, and cute, completely free of nail polish, retaining a healthy and natural flesh-pink color. At the moment, because of the pain, her toes were pitifully curling inward toward the soles of her feet.
When the family stepped into the elevator and arrived on the twenty-sixth floor, opening the front door with the key, they saw an apartment of one hundred and eighty-five square meters that was not only spacious but exceptionally bright.
With his current agility and capability, even if he encountered some fierce beasts he could not handle on his own, he still had the confidence to escape.
But the problem was that that world possessed neither longevity nor cultivation methods, let alone spiritual energy or celestial aura. If they went there, they would simply be like ordinary people in an unfamiliar place, with zero chance of winning.
Xie Nian said no more and led me away from the hotel. I do not know what whim seized Xie Nian, but he insisted on walking. Although neither of us was an ordinary person, relying on vital energy to travel on foot was quite inconvenient. Since Xie Nian was persistent, I had no choice but to follow him.
My going to serve in the military was recommended by the village, and the day I left was truly glorious. Everyone in the village came out to send me off; Great-grandfather pinned a large red flower on me, and finally drove a carriage to accompany me all the way to the assembly point.
Wang Chong understood that this fellow must have recognized him from the very beginning of entering the cursed land, but simply chose not to mention it. Come to think of it, as a former high-ranking member of the Ghost family, even if captured, his intelligence network could not possibly be so stagnant, and he might have even watched some CHF matches.
The tier-one warrior stared intently at Ah Jiu. He wanted to lunge forward yet did not dare, caught in a severe internal conflict. Meanwhile, Ah Jiu looked back at him through his mask with a chilling gaze, as though staring at a dying stray dog.
Clearly, there was bad blood between them, and in the past, Zali had the upper hand, but now he had fallen into the hands of the Gu-Burning Ministry.

"There must be some secret hidden within the corpses of these demons. If we find this secret, we should be able to fix this place, right?" Chen Huoquan pointed at the demon-polluted land, where the earth had turned completely black.
Jack, who was scouting ahead, suddenly stopped in his tracks, squatted on the ground, brushed aside a cluster of grass with his hand, stared at the most inconspicuous blade of grass among them, and grinned.
Chu Liancheng had done so many things in Beichen; it was no surprise that someone would investigate her identity afterward, especially people in the imperial court.
