Chapter 20: Selling Like Crazy

“Since they’re not leaving anytime soon, give your father a call and let him know.” Jiang Shen sat down on the stairs.

I had never felt the words “trust me” so sacred, as if they were a mantra from the Buddha himself, an incantation to banish demons. He wouldn’t lie to me. A wave of relief washed over me, as if all the energy had been drained from my body. I collapsed weakly, tears streaming uncontrollably—tears of survival after the storm.

Earning a few billion from ten billion? That seemed a bit exaggerated. But Jiang Shen didn’t really understand this industry and was indifferent to money. His main aim was simply to lend a hand to Zhang Fan and, in the process, recruit a subordinate.

While Mrs. Mi and Princess Changdi of Huiyang conversed inside the carriage, Lady Li returned to the capital with the unconscious Yun Yudie and Yun Manrou. Yun Yuexi, having received the summons from the matriarch, did not accompany them.

With a thud, at the moment their skin touched, the man seemed to hear his heart skip a beat, then stop entirely as if time itself had frozen.

“Bastard—” Shandi was nearly spitting blood; she had never encountered someone so uncouth. She had once hated Huang Zheng the most, despised him for killing Darani and shattering Hell itself. Now, in comparison, Huang Zheng seemed a saint with good manners beside Jiang Shen.

Li Qiu and Li Jin had no friends in the capital initially. How was it that suddenly someone took them out to revel and find lenders for their borrowings?

Qiao Chuxi’s face darkened as she glared at Qiao Nianxi, but after a moment’s thought about her true intentions, she restrained her anger.

Ning ‘Spring’ Cao sat on the mat, looking up at him. In the past, she would have immediately worn a gentle smile to soothe his restless heart.

The other shore fumed, about to leave and find another host, but fatefully encountered the soul summoner Sanmei.

Feng Tao then said to Cheng Shi, “That’s right. Madam Liu is correct. Just because of a flower, you accuse Madam Liu of having an affair with Lian Yun?”

Ningxia was somewhat confused. Pan Qiang explained, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. Without the old ancestor’s intervention back then, the Demon Sect would have been wiped out. After eliminating the Demon Sect, the three families divided Yong’an, Qianyang, and Hannan into spheres of influence to jointly expand trade routes.”

Xirang was supposed to love the aura of immortal materials, and this immortal lotus was an extraordinary celestial treasure. Yet this particular Xirang only wished to flee.

He went there to gain resources. Such resources cannot simply appear out of thin air—they inevitably encroach upon someone else’s share.

Compared to these seasoned veterans forged through countless fierce battles, Huang He was like a flower in a greenhouse. Since his account’s inception, he had barely faced any real competition, so naturally, he felt helpless in this situation.

Cheng Shi smiled, acknowledging Feng Tao’s strong sense of justice without being rigid, before continuing.

This was why Su Sheng chose to break through from the hillside direction—there were shadow shifts, posing the least threat to him.

It was unfortunate for Lu Sheng; he simply couldn’t take a hit and went down after one punch.

This creature, once hatched, would be of excellent quality. Even a single egg could cause trouble—what chaos would ensue upon its emergence?

Actually, Fang Yiluo of Baiyun Tower had found the exit from the ice cave immediately upon arriving, but was drawn away by a few familiar auras.

Analogous to electrical appliances, which function by gathering electric energy through circuits to perform work, this “precipitation divine beast” similarly serves to mobilize energy and accelerate the formation of rain clouds.

After Zhou Ping bestowed the essence of justice upon Annie to activate it, the power balance among the Earth dimension factions was formally established.

At that moment, Zhang Xue flew into a rage. She forcefully pulled Huang Kun away, gasping for breath and demanding he stop, warning that otherwise, she would never speak to him again in her life.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ping received a call request from Yang Rui. The automatic response of the Destiny Cube and the customer service voice need not be detailed. Let’s move directly to what happened next.

I tried to shift my body but was met with a violent coughing fit, choking out water from my nose and mouth.

Later, Jiang Ziya secretly dispatched three thousand troops and ordered Nangong Shi and Wu Ji to make arrangements. When Jiang Ziya’s army reached Qishan, Nangong Shi had already constructed a high platform topped with a straw effigy, all meticulously laid out according to the square regulations.

“Sister-in-law, thank you!” Si Zhanbei said gratefully to his sister-in-law, relieved not to have to take leave.

The Taoist Fang was deep in thought but suddenly sensed something amiss. Captain Jia had been chattering incessantly, but now his voice seemed to come from an unusual place.

At that thought, I suddenly realized—could it be that Brother Feng knew I was with Hui Zhan and thus refrained from telling me more?

“Everyone, everyone, let’s discuss this inside,” Director Tong immediately raised his hand to signal.

Shen Muyu now felt as if he were in a world suffused with vibrant green. Countless green light particles entered his body, and as they did, he felt his wounded body slowly healing, even growing stronger than before.

As the fireball descended, it exploded before Cang Qi’s horrified eyes, unleashing a thunderous blast. The scene was chaotic, with shards of the green bricks flying everywhere.

Ye Fan saw the principal sitting on a chair, holding a mirror and looking at his reflection. This middle-aged man in his forties had graying eyebrows, evidence of many troubled years—otherwise, his brows would not have turned white.

“What is that?” Chen Yun asked in surprise, noting the seriousness on Thunder Beast’s face. After all this time, it was the first time Chen Yun had seen such an expression.

Wishing so, she instinctively clutched her stomach, furrowing her brows.

Long Tuqi stood gazing in the direction she left, standing silently for a long time. Murky tears streamed down his weathered face, soaking his clothes.

Just as I was about to shoot, an unexpected event occurred. The monster climbing up was suddenly dragged down by several others below. They tore off its limbs and devoured it alive in an instant.

Feng Shaoming struggled out of the pool, fighting against the waterfall above, and climbed back onto the rocks. Now, a pressing problem lay before him.
