Volume 1, Chapter 66: The Blind Courtesan

Hearing this, Lin Qingwan turned as pale as a sheet and shook her head repeatedly.
"I am not a prostitute. Take me to—"
She wanted to say the General's Estate, but her throat felt as if it were paralyzed, unable to utter the words.
If people were to find out she belonged to the General's Estate, would it bring shame upon Mo Lingxuan? Would she become a stain on the General's Estate's reputation?
She could not wrong Mo Lingxuan.
"Can you take me to the Tongfu Inn? My brother is there, and he will give you plenty of money. As much as you want!"
"Grandpa, Grandpa..." The second attempt at pronunciation was much clearer. Zaozao's action made Huo Changqing beam with joy from ear to ear.
Li Yuanhao chose not to tell Zhao Heizi the real purpose of his trip to the Changbai Mountains. It was not because he feared that the temptation of wealth would corrupt hearts; he still had full confidence in a brother who had lived and shared hardships with him for so many years.
Emily shook her head and said nothing more. At that moment, her gaze fell upon Rose, and after a long while, she spoke slowly.
As soon as Second Uncle Chen saw that both Chen Fangping and Ye Yixia wore stunned expressions, the sense of disappointment in his heart instantly vanished by more than half. Consequently, his nervous anxiety dissipated, replaced by a radiant sense of smugness. He even cast a look of high praise at his subordinates for bringing Ye Yixia out so promptly.
To mention nothing else, just the spatial-attribute monster cores required six of them, and all had to be above the late Qi Refining stage. As for spirit stones, the number was a staggering one hundred and upward, all of which had to be middle-grade spirit stones. As for the various other items combined, they practically emptied out everything Zheng Zheng had collected over the years.
The entire city of Pompeii was tightly surrounded by hundreds of thousands of the undead. From the ground to the sky, not even a single bird could fly out.
"Although there are marshes here, the water grass is also rather lush. These sheep gain weight easily after eating it. Those wolves have been scared witless by humans over the years and pose no real threat. A couple of shots will naturally frighten them away. Besides, the prairie mice and wild rabbits are out now, so they aren't lacking in food either."
"To be honest, I really want to see Lord Saruman, the Dreadlord of the Plague Legion, lead his army back and hang this incompetent monarch to death..." At that moment, an undead citizen said indignantly.
The week-long interviews finally came to an end. On the morning of the following Monday, those who had passed the interviews at Hellfire Entertainment arrived at a bright and clean conference room located on the thirtieth floor of the Wenluo Building, according to the instructions in their text messages.
Although Monk Bubei had no idea what quirky new notion Wang Yuetian had cooked up, he truly had no optimal way of dealing with Murong Ping at the moment. Since Wang Yuetian was so confident, what harm was there in letting him try?
The images in her mind were a chaotic jumble, yet they contained many scenes of Cheng Yiben proposing to her romantically, as well as numerous moments of tender intimacy between them.
Brushing away the sudden sentimentality that welled up within him, Han Yun went to another family's chicken coop to spend the night, resolving to leave the morrow.
"Yet he is the root cause of your family's ruin and destruction!" Qiao Jinnian interrupted Zhang Nian's words through clenched teeth.
Ever since they met Bai Qi and witnessed his formidable supernatural abilities in the sewers, everyone in the team viewed him as their absolute pillar of strength. To exaggerate somewhat, he had become like a god in their eyes.
Therefore, Lan Ze had to take a risk and walk a perilous path to restore his body to its peak condition in the shortest time possible. Since his body could not generate vitality on its own, Lan Ze would stimulate it, finding a catalyst to rouse the life force within.
For these obstinate and unyielding people, Pang Tong merely ordered the troops to descend the city walls and open the city gates. The cavalry, who had waited long and imagined the situation inside for so long, now swarmed in. However, they did not blindly charge directly at the enemy forces. The sword-and-shield infantry took the lead at the very front, followed by the archers, and the cavalry brought up the rear.
