"Love the house and its crow."

“I’ve found a job pasting matchboxes, and I want to offer it to my eldest sister,” Lin Zhao said.

Madam Gu had heard rumors that the city’s match factory occasionally outsourced work.

But—

Wasn’t this kind of job quite rare?

Many city folks wanted it but couldn’t get it.

“Is it really true?” Madam Gu took two eager steps forward, her eyes blazing as she fixed her gaze on Lin Zhao.

“Of course it’s true. Sister Fen, who works with me as a sales clerk, helped find this job. The materials for pasting matchboxes…”

The three of them no longer hesitated, having understood the situation.

For the bewildered soldier, Leng Hao said little; he merely ordered them to remain vigilant and clear a space nearby.

Both were neatly dressed without any obvious wounds. Compared to the black magic defense professor who was barely clinging to life, they looked as if they had just returned from a peaceful autumn stroll in the Forbidden Forest.

As for Li Yan, his expression was somewhat complex. He hadn’t forgotten the recent news, which was still fresh in public memory.

They had collected the rewards from the tower—didn’t that make them even more of a target? With such a large prize, it was hard not to attract attention.

Feng Qingyan’s lips curled faintly as she pressed her fingertips to Xiao Yuchen’s wrist, beginning to take his pulse.

The snakes seemed intimidated by Gun Gun’s imposing aura. They actually lowered their heads, pressing them tightly against the ground.

Though the mechanism had ceased, the underground palace still held a grand formation. Yuan Geng then produced a metal plate—the Nine Palaces Bagua Plate. Only by holding this plate could one find the exit of the formation.

It should be known that the Marvel world is, in fact, a very peculiar realm. How to put it—the setting of the Marvel world consists of countless parallel universes. Ye Kai didn’t know exactly which kind of parallel universe he was currently in.

Upon hearing this, Lone Wolf, Monkey, and Squirrel all drooped their heads like frostbitten eggplants, their faces filled with disappointment.

Shangguan Yun’s heart was filled with frustration and helplessness. He apologized briefly and then returned to the backyard with Xiao Yingying.

“Hi…” Red Child burped and looked toward Fang Zheng, Lone Wolf, Monkey, and Squirrel, who sat outside with smug expressions, clearly not intending to leave.

A shadow flickered behind him, then vanished again. When passing through the shadow of the city gate, the white-clad figure emerged once more into the morning light. Feng Jingyan lifted his impeccably handsome face again, a faint, almost imperceptible sigh escaping his lips.

“What!” The people of Mingque Kingdom all wore expressions as sour as if they had swallowed something bitter. Wasn’t this blatant extortion? Did they think no one knew?

Xing Tianyu silently cursed his luck—why did all the misfortune fall on him? If it were just Zhao Yaru, he still had confidence to fight. Though she had evolved, she was clearly not a super-evolved being. But that super-evolved entity was another matter entirely.

Thus ended this inspection trip. Long Jianfei escorted the two municipal officials back to their offices. They still needed to visit Vice Mayor Zhao at the hospital. After offering his regards, Ye Jintian accompanied Long Jianfei back to the Ye family home.

However, this sense of pressure had no effect on Xing Tianyu today. After witnessing Victor’s tragic childhood, it was truly difficult to feel any fear toward this guy.

“What? Can’t say it?” Feng Beiling’s eyes reddened. Like a lion gone mad, he snarled fiercely, his expression as if he wanted to devour the person before him alive.

The sword sensed Xiao Zhen’s intent, but it twisted aside, brushing Xiao Zhen’s right-hand sword to the side, then thrust straight toward his chest.

Yuan Anning did not respond immediately, for Nan Feng’s words were too abstruse. Even she, so intelligent, needed time to ponder and understand.

Lin Yong dazedly took the medicinal decoction and drank it all in one gulp. Low profile... low profile... even lower profile! Now he was living entirely on the strength of this karmic connection and could not afford a single misstep.
