Chapter 47: Food and Sex

"Smack!"

Su Wan showed no courtesy whatsoever as she slapped Liu Gui across the face. She never went looking for trouble, but when someone came looking for it, she refused to take it lying down.

Liu Gui was left somewhat dazed by the blow.

Everyone around them gasped aloud. Qin Yi’s young bride, who usually looked so gentle and fragile, proved to be unexpectedly fierce.

Liu Gui shrieked, "Help! Someone’s hitting people! Murder!"

Fearing that Liu Gui might hurt Su Wan, Qin Yi stepped forward to shield her, his gaze cold and sharp as he looked on.

Hearing that tone, Luo Yi knew immediately that Ji Ziming was in a foul mood and his temper was burning hot. Frightened by him, she almost spilled everything on the spot.

"Ah, well, it was indeed a solid, guaranteed-profit project initially, but later the government issued a new regulation. Naturally, the project could no longer proceed, so the preliminary investment in it was inevitably lost."

Dr. Xu took off his surgical mask, furrowed his brows deeply, and looked toward Ji's mother. His tone did not sound optimistic at all.

The four major legions were temporarily stripped of their organizational structures. Theia surrendered six hundred thousand mages in exchange for two hundred thousand behemoth cavalry, two hundred thousand lightning spearmen, and two hundred thousand sky archers.

Secondly, on Time Movie Network, everyone's anticipation for this film was extremely low, rating it a mere four-something out of ten.

The more Jia Yuan read, the darker his expression grew. In the chapter detailing the fate of the Jia family, the author incorporated many personal perspectives. Thus, aside from the collapse of the Jia family and the tragic ends of its members, what Jia Yuan saw included analyses of the family's downfall and what their fate would have been had the protagonist not transmigrated into the Dream of the Red Chamber world.

Time of death: three days ago, between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Cause of death: internal bleeding resulting from a physical beating.

Yan Jinnian thought of that glass of wine. It must have been tampered with by Fan Zhicheng, and she had consumed it in complete ignorance.

Typically, depending on the strength of the examining mentor or disciple, specific moves were prescribed; candidates merely needed to hold out to pass the assessment. Moreover, if a candidate performed remarkably well, they could sometimes be granted a pass even if they failed to endure until the end.

"You, go down and ask why Li Tian has gathered so many ghosts, what methods he used, and why these ghosts are following him so peaceably." The Scarlet Ghost King directly commanded a subordinate at the Mysterious Immortal realm to handle the matter.

"Linger, which of these stones is that aura emanating from?" Li Tian looked curiously at the glowing stones, unable to sense anything unusual about them.

"Thank you, thank you, Officer Fatty!" Kang Jiawei bowed deeply, a look of awkwardness and helplessness crossing his face.

True to her word, within half a month, Du Manling had skillfully mastered the entire set of Tuina and massage techniques. By coincidence, and even more gratifyingly, she had also taken an apprenticeship to learn acupuncture. Just like that, she became Kang Jiawei's in-home rehabilitation doctor.

Du Manling wanted to get to the bottom of it, but she was afraid that asking too much would displease Kang Jiazheng. Therefore, she could only ask Kang Jiawei in secret, but to her surprise, Kang Jiawei was equally in the dark; he too was trying to decipher the hidden meaning behind Kang Jiazheng's words.

Namikaze Minato returned somewhat earlier than Yang Xin, teleporting back the following afternoon using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"We'll search for two more days. If we still haven't found it by then, we'll move on to the next location." He had already spent a year in the ancient battlefield, yet within that year he hadn't even explored one-fifth of it; he simply didn't have that much time to waste on a valley that couldn't be found.

To make the armor of the soldiers underneath capable of contending with the Shadow Warriors, the only option was to upgrade the armor.

"Lin Feng." Just as Lin Feng was about to return to his dormitory to practice herb-dispensing and was about to vanish from their sight, Tan Lian called out to him.

Lin Feng did not respond. He disdained to respond; this life-and-death duel was not his choice, but Fang Qing's. Did it mean others were permitted to kill him, while he was not permitted to kill others? What kind of logic was that?
