Chapter 41: Birthday Banquet 3

Chen Yixin chimed in from the side, mocking her, "You haven't even sorted out your own mess yet, and you're already laughing at others."

Ning Chu retorted, "By the way, didn't everyone in the circle say I've gone mad? They said I beat up so-and-so. If you all provoke me again, I won't make a move at tonight's banquet, but outside of it, that's hard to say."

Ning Chu smiled faintly. "After all, since I'm a madwoman anyway, how about I give all of you a beating next time? As it happens, I have free time tomorrow to drop by your place and beat you up first—"

As the saying goes, forced sales never turn a profit. The Business Alliance had already achieved sweeping success on this trip, so there was no need to curry favor with anyone. Therefore, after staying at the Golden Flood-Dragon Clan's territory for half a month, they returned the way they came.

Taken individually, the stats of this card were quite ordinary, but once they accumulated in large numbers, it became terrifying. If two such minions appeared on the field simultaneously, the stats of each minion would become 1/3/3.

The contents were identical to the previous news, and Zhou Yong also mentioned that a pair of brothers named Wang Tian and Wang Feng had previously made great contributions and thus obtained superior medicinal pills.

He also crafted a spiritual talisman avatar according to Su Yirou's appearance and physique, preparing for a stealthy swap when the time came.

Meanwhile, judging from the fact that Ye Cuo showed no surprise whatsoever, he could deduce that Mi Jingzhou had acted upon Ye Cuo's instructions, which was why she was killed.

A brief silence fell over the crowd below. Everyone stared wide-eyed at this head. This was an Immortal Monarch of the Seventh Heavenly Tribulation, the deputy commander of the Ministry of Thunder's one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers! He had actually been killed by their Tiger King? And even had his head chopped off?

However, worried that some unexpected accident might occur, Ye Cuo still sent a message to Yu Feng to inquire once more, finding out where Chu Hentian currently was and roughly when he would arrive at Dongxuan City.

"This joke has gone too far!" Officer Li no longer doubted Xiao Ling's "premonition" and actually laughed out loud.

The members of the Paranormal Bureau felt a chill in their hearts. Most of them were neutrals, and there were also Qian Xueyuan's die-hard supporters, but at this moment, they finally understood that what Li Yang had said to Nangong Xuehen earlier must have been true.

Whenever things grew complicated, Lu Yu had a habitual urge to shelve them, yet the mere thought that this was a matter of life and death left him tossing and turning with insomnia.

Pei Feng had once heard Li Huangshan mention this person. He was the most elite soldier in the Dragon Teeth special forces. If placed in broader society, his capability would only be on par with Zhang Jian, one of the Five Tigers of Guangdong. At most, his combat skills might be slightly superior, though his physical endurance might not necessarily surpass him.

Not realizing that Gao Yuan was doing it on purpose, Zhang Lin hurriedly explained, "Gao Yuan, I didn't mean that, I just..." Seeing Zhang Lin's expression, Gao Yuan let out a burst of laughter. That immediately gave the game away, and now it was Zhang Lin's turn to be angry. Gao Yuan had to turn around and coax her instead. Perhaps romance was just a matter of coaxing each other back and forth like this.

Always law-abiding and cautious, the mere sight of the bloodstains on the threshold and the corners of the door made her heart skip a beat with dread. It was already remarkable enough that she hadn't been frightened to the point of weak knees or turned and bolted; how could she possibly dare to rashly enter the room to see what had happened?

Raw iron ore was the most common iron ore in the mortal world, which could be melted into liquid iron when heated. It was the fundamental raw material required by ordinary households for making daily necessities such as kitchenware and farming tools.

Chu Yunlian was startled and sidestepped to avoid him, but she wasn't fast enough. However, Mingming merely brushed a piece of straw from her hair. Chu Yunlian felt an inexplicable sense of relief, accompanied by a faint trace of disappointment.

Even though she was turned sideways, Wang Hu recognized her at a glance and softly called out, "Yating."

Yet, if one looked down from above, it could be seen that the black and white bands of light behind Chengyang were slowly drawing an arc.

"What did you say?!" Jin Feng had felt some suspicion when she touched Chu Yunlian's body that morning, but it was merely suspicion. Chu Yunlian had no reason to risk her own life to save him, as she and he had no ties to begin with.
