Chapter 43: Promoted to Sister-in-Law

In any case, Emperor Shitian estimated that at best he might recover less than a third of his investment, which naturally left him somewhat displeased.

Liu Ziling really was uncanny. She seemed to be right about everything she said. Now that she had suggested Mengmeng and I put on a “brilliant” performance together, Mengmeng had actually agreed.

Zhang Jiajia said this, leaving even Sun Hong, who had come along to see Li Feng off, and Zhang Lili stunned—not to mention Zhang Qing.

Sister Hong gave me a hint, but I pretended not to notice. I knew what she meant, but I did not want to do it.

I said, “You were the ones who asked me to get your food. Your lunch boxes are still in the cafeteria. If you don’t believe me, Warden, you can go and see for yourself.”

If this had been one of Liu Mang’s games against Darko Milicic in the NBA over the past three years, a three-pointer like that would probably have shattered Milicic’s confidence. But on the international stage… things were different.

“Should I ask someone to get me out?” Jiang Rou spoke again, as though she had finally made some sort of decision.

“But Li Shu’ao is very busy. I heard he recently took on a major job—a lucrative opportunity he seized in a bloody struggle with Ye Jihuan. I have no idea what the job actually involves.”

Terry turned and snatched up the ball, then sent a long pass straight to Huang Yu. After receiving it, Huang Yu faced Haslem and accelerated decisively, using a Euro step to throw Haslem off balance before going up for the layup. But the instant Haslem felt his center of gravity slipping, he reached out and dragged Huang Yu down.

Cang Luo had never tasted Spirit-Root Tea from the Xing family, so he had no idea what kind of spirit tea it was.

The bolts were cleaved into pieces by the cutting battle aura Zhang Yiming released. Once they lost their momentum, they fell scattered across the ground. Only then did Zhang Yiming see clearly that the bolt heads were pitch-black, plainly coated with lethal poison as well.

There were plenty of spoiled young heirs in the East Sea, and several of them were much like Song Tongwei. They were rivals in their daily lives, yet after hearing that Song Tongwei had been injured and confined to bed, they actually came to the hospital bearing gifts and flowers, hypocritically wishing him a speedy recovery.

Yang Jie spoke timidly. Despite usually appearing honest and saying little, he had a remarkably precise grasp of the situation.

Blood Sacrifice stopped speaking before he could finish, because he saw that the Dark Blood Rose’s damage level was exactly eighty percent! Perhaps the Dark Blood Rose believed that its remaining health was sufficient and had therefore stopped using repair potions to restore its damaged condition.

Huanglongshi’s eyes were filled with resolve. He glanced at the rift in the void, which was being torn open without end, then exhaled softly. With a movement of his body, he charged toward the descending figure.

That night, Fangfei brought all the sisters to the rooftop, hoping they could share some of the burden with Xia Liu.

Shi Chen was lying on the bed in the infirmary, throwing a tantrum, when—bang!—the infirmary hatch was blown open by a savage kick from Qi Feng.

Wang Shihan nodded lightly without saying anything. Ever since she entered university, she had known that her roommates would eventually go their separate ways, perhaps never to meet again. University was not like high school, where everyone basically lived in the same city. Whenever people wanted to get together, all it took was a phone call and some free time.

All these wild thoughts were known to Luo Hebin. On the surface, he sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, appearing to rest. In reality, he was using Soul-Seizing Arts, sending his consciousness into Gusna’s mind to see exactly what methods she was planning to use to prank him.

“Tch. I don’t need you to teach me. He is my prey, so naturally I’m the only one allowed to hurt him,” Teacher Kitty snorted.

Zhang Qian hated Han Ziyu intensely, but she was, after all, a well-bred young lady. Even when she cursed with all her might, those were the harshest words she could manage.

“What? Is there anything else in this world worth having?” Zheng Zha genuinely could not understand.

P.S.2: There have simply been too many things going on, so updates during this period will follow an irregular surprise-resurrection schedule.

I slipped the note into my pocket and fell into deep thought. What exactly did Song Cheng mean? And what did he mean by “Don’t get in his way”? We had only met twice, and had barely spoken to each other. By all rights, we had no bitter enmity between us.

“Now that the head of the Soul Jade has emerged, does this mean the Tomb-Digging Sect is about to reveal itself?” Elder Qingyun speculated.

Mu Rongchen had returned this time in preparation for boarding the stealth-type Ptolemy II battleship and infiltrating the Battle Star Base alongside the others in the first echelon. Naturally, some matters had to be clarified in advance, such as command of the fleet, the intensity of the fighting, and the boundaries of the battlefield.

Above the Pill Transformation Realm lay several further realms. With every breakthrough into a new realm, cultivators could wield more profound and mysterious divine abilities and techniques. The improvement of one’s cultivation was the ultimate manifestation of strength.

Besides, this matter was her fault to begin with. She had caused a negative impact on the company, so letting the manager scold her a little to vent his anger was still better than being fired.

“A divine artifact? What kind of divine artifact could it be? Could it be inside this stone coffin?” The Blood-Eating Divine Beast gazed thoughtfully at the stone coffin.

After Lu Qingge answered, she took out her phone, found Luo Kang’s number, and dialed it.

By that reckoning, even my title of Hilichurl Killer had been bestowed upon me by the Abyss Order?

Yan Luoluo looked at the exquisitely designed blueprint, then at the enormous, chaotic mess she had built, and silently gave in.

The King of the Underworld did not need support, but the majesty of the King of the Underworld could not be violated. Since someone had provoked her, the Netherworld had to make its position clear.

Fortunately, I did not know them. The Guo clan possessing these two men could be considered a fine story in its own right. Besides, Guo Tu was a true man of distinction and served as an important minister under Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao sat in the principal seat, examining the local terrain and reports from officials across the various regions while familiarizing himself with the deployment of the troops under each command. Bao Xin, Guo Yi, Yu Jin, and Gao Shun were all present.

Seeing Yi Chunzhi’s hesitation, Jia She looked toward Qi Zhenzu. Although Qi Zhenzu clearly understood the source of Yi Chunzhi’s conflict, he obviously had little desire to intervene or offer advice. Unwilling to be caught between his parents, his wife, and his son, he simply pretended to be deaf and mute.

When they turned on the computer, they saw it packed with games of every imaginable genre, like a computer in an Internet café—indeed, even more comprehensive. Chi Zhengxue and Fang Ling were so envious that tears seemed to trickle from the corners of their mouths.

For some reason, he had also gone to the Heavenly Perseverance Sect. He was not part of the expeditionary group, so perhaps he was hoping to profit from the chaos.
