Chapter 48: Buying a Courtyard House

Wang Peng was genuinely shocked; opening a video arcade in the county town required an investment of forty thousand yuan.

You must know that a three-hundred-plus-square-meter residential plot in the county town, complete with five old houses, cost only ten thousand yuan.

"Old Uncle, are you pulling my leg?" He could not help but scratch his head.

Li Longfei wore a playful expression and chuckled softly.

"Not at all. Without forty thousand yuan, you really cannot open a video arcade."

"The Sony VCR I'm lending you was bought this March, and it cost exactly eighteen thousand yuan."

"A video arcade cannot use a small television; you need color TVs of at least twenty-nine inches, all imported from Japan, which cost at least twelve thousand."

"Added together that's already thirty thousand, and the rest..."

Muxue breathed a sigh of relief. She realized that ever since leaving Tianshui City, she had become increasingly prone to anxiety and self-doubt. This still wasn't good; she needed to trust Quehuan more.

She guessed that even if she compromised with Gu Jingzhuo tonight, he might not necessarily let her see her father immediately; it would only make him demand even more exorbitant requests and conditions.

After throwing a couple of punches in frustration, Holf finally unstrapped his heavy training weights and followed the trainer's footsteps.

Recalling when Zhang Ergou left her, she had sworn to herself that she would never accept another man in this lifetime.

Right at the school gates, He Yanzhi, dressed in a leather jacket, leaned coolly against the car door. That aura of nobility was completely natural—just a single glance was enough to make one fall deeply into it. No wonder his affairs always caused such a huge sensation.

Return to the palace. Today, I shall pretend I never heard what you said, and that you never understood either, do you?

Then she looked at him, and he looked at her. The two remained silent for a long time, yet Tu Kuku did not feel that the atmosphere was wrong; she had not fully woken up from her daze yet.

"I am Ling Han, paying my respects to Master Mage." Ling Han suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to deal with the Spirit Devourer.

Sheng Xiao returned to the hospital room and saw the old man leaning against the hospital bed. Only then did his heart slowly accept that this stubborn old man was no longer the fierce geezer who could battle him for three hundred rounds.

Did he not agree to it? But what if he had accidentally agreed to someone without realizing it? It must have been because his brain wasn't working well enough and he had forgotten.

Coupled with humans and orcs hunting simultaneously, the number of pseudo-heavenly-tier magical beasts in the Wrath Flame Battlefield had plummeted drastically. Going out to hunt meant spending the vast majority of time simply searching for magical beasts.

However, no frantic magical beast would ever attack a clever beast. Legend has it that clever beasts are the darlings of the beast gods and the wise sages among magical beasts. Although their direct combat capability is frighteningly poor, they possess an immensely powerful ability.

There was no exaggeration in this; Ye Han had heard of the great name of the Cosmic Iris Root even before he set foot in the Central Domain.

He saw that this muffled, booming crash erupted the instant the legs transformed from Su Ming's puppet landed from mid-air. That sensation was like a towering mountain descending from the skies, slamming into the earth, causing the ground to tremor and kicking up raging gales in all directions.

After listening to Link's words, the citizens of Blazing Fire City fell into deep contemplation. Some wore expressions of disdain, some looked numb, and others lowered their heads in shame, among them Lenios.

As it turned out, Link had not only sent the Gold Cloth over, but in order to save Aiolos's life, he had also activated the function to modify the bodies of the Gold Saints, costing a total of six points of divinity.

Su Ming remained silent throughout, his eyes bloodshot. As his body flickered and rushed forward amidst the fiery mist, he raised his right hand, revealing the Scale Blood Spear he held, which burst into a dazzling red glow and was hurled fiercely by him.

At Asmita's request, the chieftain did not put on any grand ceremony to welcome distinguished guests, but instead led Asmita directly to a tent and said, "Mu, are you sleeping?"

An esper with psychokinetic abilities could resonate with other energies by altering the vibration frequency of their powers, allowing psychokinesis to manipulate various forces. Theoretically speaking, it should also be capable of controlling space.

Yecang's mind suffered a severe shock; everything happening before her eyes completely subverted her worldview.

Now, not only had she failed to rescue the blond youth and further establish her own prestige, but she had instead suffered a double loss, losing the army and the battle.

If not for the black-clad disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall guarding Su Su left and right, those emotionally agitated individuals might have rushed onto the stage immediately to demand an explanation from her.

Seals crafted from gold and jade were qualifications exclusive to monarchs, whereas silver seals were the possessions of key ministers of state and top-tier magnates.

Yoshikawa Great Sage's eyelids twitched. His intuition told him that Kanata would certainly not say anything pleasant.

However, holding it in like this was ultimately not an option. As a mandatory song choice in KTVs, Su Su could not resist humming those two lines, merely substituting "age" for "love" in the original lyrics.

All at once, everyone cast gazes of admiration toward Immortal King Quanfeng, and even Immortal King Azure Wolf and Immortal King Yuanfang were no exception.

Chen Yang struggled to climb to his feet, his eyes turning red, tears swirling ceaselessly in his sockets before finally streaming down.

The scene instantly grew quiet. Once certain matters were pierced through by Kanata, no one looked good on the surface.

Zheng Tianhua told us to keep a lookout. Since we encountered the soul-bewitching grass on this path, it must be right around here. If we find any wild grass bearing seeds, we might as well try eating the seeds.

And so he walked toward Drogba with a smile, extending his hand. Drogba himself did not know why he was waiting there—perhaps he was simply waiting for such a comfort. When Mazzari stretched out his hand, Drogba shook it.

"I am the club owner, why can't I do this?! I'll do whatever I want!" Jiuge said bitterly.

"What's the point of keeping it? Look at how skinny you are; you'll just end up giving it away to someone else later," Song Muyuan said unhappily.

"Chen, Brother Chen, they are just passersby with no food," Lu Yang said, looking terrified. Ever since he followed Zhang Zhao and the others down, he hardly dared to look at the ponytail youth.

"I've also heard Hanyue mention some of this. What should we do next?" Guo Rong instantly turned serious as well.

The land of Valhalla in the Divine Realm enjoyed a comfortably pleasant climate, maintaining a constant temperature that was neither cold nor hot.
