Chapter 60: A Daughter-in-Law Acquired for Free
The land of fine wine and knights—within the empire, knights might be up for debate, but undeniably only the wines of Bein could be called truly top-tier.
This was sufficient to demonstrate the formidable power of that pale golden mysterious force; even the Primordial Purple Qi struggled to cope with it at a sluggish pace.
Advancing through the Profound Realm was no longer so easy. Pills like the Profound-Ascension Pill had zero effect on Qin Jingyuan. For Qin Jingyuan to reach the Profound Realm, he likely needed to completely construct the phantom of the phoenix within his body and divide it into the forces of the Five Elements. Through this, in the process of his conscious space transforming, he would drive the realm of his spiritual power.
Before departure, Chen Jie looked extremely reluctant, as if she were being led to the guillotine. Not long after boarding the train, Chen Jie fell asleep. She snored softly as she slept, and then leaned her head against Li Xiuyuan’s shoulder.
The two of them stepped out of the Tianyang Gate, and after walking only a short distance, they arrived at the stronghold of the Earth-Moon Gate. To their surprise, the one who received them was none other than Sect Master Jiang Zaiqi.
He had originally thought he would have to spend a lot of breath, but he never expected Shangguan Youran to agree so easily.
"I am not a disciple of those orthodox sects; I am Yi Yun from the top sixty-four," Yi Yun said indifferently.
The stars in the sky blinked, curiously watching the scene beneath the firmament—watching countless people emerge onto the beach, then watching these people disappear into the dark night like a winding serpent. Finally, when the dark night bared its sharp claws, they had already appeared right behind the indigenous camp.
The tribesman struggled slightly, the shackles on his hands and feet clinking loudly. Just as he wanted to rush forward, he was firmly held down by a fellow tribesman beside him, who begged him not to act rashly.
Mela had gone berserk; the excruciating pain of her wounds left her with no more desire to toy with her prey. Seeing the yellow-haired youth sent flying by the shockwave, she stamped the ground and leaped up, her speed skyrocketing. In the blink of an eye, she caught up to Yi An and lashed out to grab his head once more.
Glancing sideways, she saw a black Bentley Mulsanne parked quietly at the corner of the street, looking completely harmless.
Seeing Huo Yuqing’s shameless persistence, An Qinya knew that if she didn't agree to him, he would probably continue acting shamelessly until she did. She nodded immediately.
Guo Yixuan let out a breath of relief and nodded slightly. Perhaps she really was just too nervous.
After this round of conversation, the few of them seemed to be getting along quite happily. Putao hadn't said more than a few words from beginning to end, but she didn't find it boring at all.
Lu Qianmo stood up, walked over to him, and patted his shoulder earnestly. "Ye Qiao is a good girl; you must treat her well." With that, she turned and left, leaving Zhi Xi alone to ponder the major events of his life.
On the other side of the table sat Xiao Yinmo, acting as a third wheel. Xiao Yinmo glanced at Luo Anning, then slowly withdrew his gaze.
Industrial companies indeed had this weakness: they feared nothing more than a fracture in their capital chain. Once fractured, the bank accounts would roll up like a snowball, producing terrifying consequences.
Not knowing how many times she had been struck, Mochizuki Chiyo only felt that her backside had lost all sensation and was gradually going numb.
Guo Hao frowned. In his mind, an imperial figure like Diyun would never possess some kind of saintly virtue of returning evil with good. Anyone who could reach that level must have fought their way out of a sea of corpses and mountains of blood. Such a person, when facing an enemy's offensive, would undoubtedly choose a thunderous counterattack first rather than saving the enemy.
"Fine then, I'll go out and ask your mother to see who actually calls the shots," Ye Tianyu said, making a motion to walk outside.
"Feng Xinci is able to contact me. Her abilities in certain aspects are far superior to yours." When he said this, Situ Xian let out a low laugh.
The Dragon Gate currently held immense deterrent power, and Leopard was both bold and highly skilled. Although he knew that the Quanxing Gang had been constantly on guard against the threat of the Dragon Gate, he still brought only a few brothers over.
However, much like the promotional trailers for most movies, some explosive scenes and visuals could be appropriately revealed, but as for the main plotline and the like, nothing was given away. The ultimate feeling left for the fans was simply that the visuals were dazzling.
Dr. Jin had been at this hospital for at least over ten years. As the head of obstetrics, she had received countless difficult and complicated cases. With superb medical skills and a gentle demeanor, she was immensely loved by her patients. Yet, a year ago, she had proactively submitted her resignation.
Xiahou Ce muttered under his breath: she was already his fiancée, so why did she still need to be pursued? Weren't they already each other's people now?
After Leng Yue had refreshed herself with a clear and invigorating bath and pulled open her bedroom door, she saw Jin Xicheng and Duan Lingyun standing outside, turning their heads to look at her with smiles.
Upon hearing this, the stall owner flew into a furious rage. He didn't have any golden hairpins at his stall—wasn't this driving away business that was already within his grasp?
"They are demons! Demons who ravaged the homeland of us Tujue people! You... you aren't in cahoots with them, are you?" Timur glared fiercely at Liu Yu with anger in his eyes.
With a loud "boom," the young miss An Xiaoxiao was successfully driven by Gu Chen into blushing a super bright red.
Liu Yu specifically brought up wanting to find a few missionaries to come to Chang'an City. Haston and Peace were quite curious about this. As far as they knew, the people of the Shun Dynasty differed vastly in their beliefs; there were many people without any religion, some who believed in Buddhism, or some who believed in Daoism, but not a single one who believed in Christianity.
Were it not for certain special reasons, the ancient immortal who had discovered and claimed this planet still wouldn't have done that; or, even having done so, he wouldn't have been so negligent and dismissive as to merely set up some arrays and restrictions to enclose and protect it without paying any further attention, leaving everything that followed to evolve completely at random.
This time, the most important task of his current operation had already been automatically completed, and he no longer needed to linger on this planet. Just in time, he could seize the opportunity to meet with Immortal Yuanrong, handle all subsequent matters properly, and then embark once more upon his own journey.
Although they were not part of this circle, they knew very well that the entertainment industry was not as glamorous as it appeared on the surface. Countless unspeakable things happened in the corners they didn't know about every single day, and no one could guarantee what would happen in the next second within that circle.
