Chapter 44

The air outside was still quite cold, but the villa was as warm as spring. A fierce battle was unfolding on Guo Lin’s large bed.

Yet, this was the only way to ensure the safety of the Prince and Princess of Liao. Having made up my mind, I took a deep breath, leaped, and used the spring of a pine branch to propel myself over layers of tiled roofs, drifting into the backyard of the Liao Prince’s manor.

At twelve o'clock, Mengzhu arrived at the hotel on time. Someone was already there to welcome her, leading her to the restaurant on the third floor, where George and Shi Zhibang were already seated at the table.

Suddenly, the earth shook violently. A low, terrifying sound wave, like a rumble of muffled thunder, rolled toward everyone from the distance. The entire space trembled slightly, and the wild grass on the ground shivered in fear. The crowd was thrown into a panic, at a total loss for what to do.

Ye Chengxuan used Liang Zhongchong’s illegal activities, such as drug use, to blackmail him, not only forcing him to cough up the spoils he had already swallowed but also requiring him to put on a show here.

Lei Long, an old veteran of the Hubei wilderness, had discovered Ling Yu’s tracks long ago. Luo Kede quickly joined forces with him, forming a formidable team. Lei Long had watched from afar during all the battles, including those where Gao Fengye and Yan Mu were killed. Both men sighed, shivering inwardly.

“Don’t argue with me!” Chu Tao roared at him, a rare occurrence. Xie Junhe, though resentful, had no choice but to shut his mouth.

However, there was no intention for Xie Junhe’s sword to leave its scabbard. He stood perfectly still, like an iron pillar. The wind lifted his black robes before helplessly falling silent. At the corners of his brows hung a mockery so arrogant it reached the extreme.

Li Zhaolin did not play the fool and asked directly, “Has Brother Xie not already seen through it?” The atmosphere became inexplicably eerie.

This was only possible while running at a steady pace; had they started at full speed, the members of the coalition would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

Murong was startled and at a loss for what to do. Hearing the commotion, Muxing and Munuan rushed in. Seeing Wu Shuang rolling on the bed in agony, Munuan suddenly struck Wu Shuang’s head with a sharp blow. With a shrill scream, Wu Shuang went limp and lay motionless on the bed, though the expression of pain still lingered on his face.

Chu Tian, not wanting to invite trouble, took out the Vastness Token he had traded from the old fox for a jar of “Drunken Dream” under the menacing glares of two burly guards.

Yuan Tiangang heaved a deep sigh, shook his head slightly, and walked away. Behind him, Li Zhi stood in the long, narrow alley, motionless for a long time.

The soldier hesitated and said dryly, “Wait here for a moment. Shuoluo, come help me; I’m going to call Lieutenant Miss.” The latter part was shouted to a companion inside the guardhouse.

So many tears washed her face, as if washing away the long-standing knots in her heart, but why did these knots have to be untied only when Hansi was on his deathbed?

“China, from this day forth, shall regain the glory of the Great Tang!” Mr. Deng, full of bold spirit, drained a bowl of Maotai and smashed it heavily onto the ground.

Who would have thought that Manager He dared not stand up immediately, but instead looked up at Yongning before prostrating himself, not daring to move.

Stuck with a mistress who was calm about everything except perfumery and took nothing else to heart, she could only blame her own bad luck.

They were disciples of the Jie Sect, a large and well-established school. Although this man had crippled their entire cultivation in one move, they were not yet paralyzed by absolute terror, knowing that the Master of Heaven was there to support them.

This Yu Hai was the top secret agent for the Prince of Ying. His mastery of disguise was profound, and few had ever seen his true face. Legend had it that his martial arts were on par with Ruan Yu. Seeing him decapitate the guard Zhu Gou in the blink of an eye, how could the others not be afraid?

Hua Lian and Wu Yu’s meddling in this mess was clearly premeditated; they wanted to display their strength and entice their Master to join their cause.

Unfortunately, Hang Yiyi had misjudged her character. She would blame herself, but she would not flee. This time, however, she would no longer hide safely under their protection; even through wind and rain, she would shoulder everything she should and could. This time, it was her turn to protect them.

Moreover, upon hearing the name of Shengkang Hospital, her concerns diminished further, for no one in H City would dare use the name of a hospital founded by the Bai family to commit fraud.

What an abrupt choice. When good friends meet, shouldn't they share a friendly hug, have a meal, or go to a sauna?

Yan Chi frowned and looked deep into her eyes, but saw nothing beyond a slight sense of unease and fear. The reason for this unease might be as she said, or perhaps there was more, but if she wouldn’t speak, he had no way of knowing.

Charged with the responsibility of flood control, he had no choice but to travel upstream along the Yellow River, stopping intermittently to ponder how to proceed.

Therefore, based on various considerations—some that could be spoken of and some that could not—Bai Yuan never connected the “Overseer” with the people in this space.

Updates will occur daily at midnight and noon. Additional chapters are at my discretion, and I will notify you if I need to take a break.

Chu Yixian kept smiling as she entered the manor gates, but just as she reached the second courtyard, she bumped into a group of people.

Whether they had discovered it or not, he did not know, but she hadn’t opened that box for so long; it was likely blocked by someone with ulterior motives.

Shangguan Bing was speechless, thinking to herself that these two were too ridiculous. Lin Fei was indeed a medical student, but only a veterinarian. He might be able to treat a police dog, but how could he diagnose a human?

Yicimao dug a large lump of mud from the roadside green belt—guessing he couldn't find a brick to use as a weapon—and followed behind Gangtou and the others.
