Chapter 35: Let’s See Who Dares!

As soon as Mother Zhou finished speaking, Zhou Siyao chimed in anxiously.
"Mother, you haven't called me Yaoyao yet! I want to hear you call me Yaoyao too!"
Realizing her daughter was feeling jealous, Liu Ruoyi helplessly relented: "Yaoyao, Yaoyao, are you happy now?"
...
...
Not long after, Ling Tian drove to Niantian Real Estate and entered the company with Wang Yayan.
The Lixiang Courtyard was a place of many prying eyes and loose tongues, so Song Anran asked Song Anjie to arrange a meeting with Jiang Mushao by the lotus pond in the back garden.
Li Yu said to Zhou Bin, "Junior Brother Zhou, I am going to check out the Six-Star Pagoda as well." With that, Li Yu moved in a blur and charged into the first floor.
After a long silence, a faint sound of footsteps echoed, disturbing the picturesque scene and sending ripples through the stillness.
When an insider revealed that it was Xiao Fei who had committed the atrocities, Elder Huang fell into a sudden silence. He knew Xiao Fei, and quite well at that.
Xiao Fei had heard every word of the conversation between Wu Yifan and Liu Fen, and he heard it clearly enough that the moment the call ended, he crushed his phone into a pile of debris.
In particular, Li Jiajun had been completely eradicated by Bai Yu. Even Li Lianxing had been dealt with by him twice, becoming much more docile and no longer causing trouble, having even disbanded the Li Family Gang.
Good heavens, such an extraordinary gift right from the start—it made the three ladies' hearts swell with warmth. Compared to the Song family, the offerings of medicinal herbs and fabrics brought by other relatives were truly not worth mentioning.
"Berserker Potion, it can double your physical attributes! The price is one zero-level crystal core!" Li Yi said. Combining this price with the talismans, he was making an absolute fortune.
Before he could finish speaking, Monkey San turned around, stuck his rear end high in the air, and wiggled it at him, drawing roars of laughter from the crew-cut youth's companions.
It was likely that some local officials or powerful gentry with poor reputations had been besieged and executed by the rioting cult members the previous night; they then used the severed heads to rally the masses and incite a sense of shared hatred.
"Salvation..." The simplest language is often the most moving. Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi’s frame stirred slightly, as if some long-held barrier in his heart had been touched. He stared straight at Jiang Shao, the deep wrinkles on his face appearing even more profound, as he muttered to himself, as if savoring the true essence of those two words.
The man guarding Xinghua was Cao Pan. On that night, while the Japanese pirates were already at the city gates, Cao Pan was still fast asleep in the arms of his lover. As the saying goes, if the beam is crooked, the rafters will be crooked too; if the commander is like this, what more could be expected of the soldiers? It wasn't until the pirates' cannons pounded the city walls that the soldiers finally realized an army was attacking.
"Xia Rong, I've finished the drawing. Take a look and see how I did." After checking it once more for a moment to ensure there were no major issues, Chen Zhe handed his sketchbook to Wu Xia Rong, signaling for her to take a look.
"Hmph, the good news is... your seven-day trip has become a two-week trip. How about that? Are you happy?" Watching her brother's sycophantic smile, Chen Yuqi reached out and pinched his cheeks. To Chen Zhe, the smile on her face looked just like a devil's grin.
If it were possible, Wei Xiang hoped that Si Mubai’s arrival would lead to his young master's rescue. It didn't matter if he himself could get out, but the young master had to be saved.
Hu Yuan knew his father's intentions, and he also knew that after years of hardline military policies, everything was like an arrow on a taut bowstring—it had to be released. There was no way to avoid crushing the Tufa tribe of the Xianbei.
After the lights in the arena brightened again, the unique saxophone prelude began to play. Hearing this, the audience in the stands began to tap their feet and clap their hands involuntarily, as if by instinct.
"He’s suffering from excessive indulgence; his body has been hollowed out," Bai Yi explained simply to Yun Mo.
