Chapter 43: Birthday Banquet 5

Ning Chu walked over to Chen Yixin, who was currently eating. "You're finally back? I just heard someone say your ex-husband came looking for you?"

Ning Chu replied, "Yeah, there was a little matter."

Chen Yixin said, "I just saw Wanyan Yu."

"Who?" Ning Chu didn't register the name for a moment.

"Wanyan Yu, you know! The one who made the headlines with your ex-husband before." Chen Yixin leaned close to Ning Chu's ear and whispered, "I suspect she's—"

Of course, there were also romantic events and the like, where artificially bred butterflies would be purchased for release. Could it be that her own pet store was about to launch this kind of service as well?

This simply wouldn't do; what she wanted was victory! This first battle after attaining the rank of Secondary Sage naturally called for establishing prestige! If they ended up fighting and she could only rely on speed to maneuver and stall, it would hardly seem appropriate.

He hadn't been completely idle before this; he had indeed gathered some materials. Right then, he lay prone on the couch, ordering his attendants to light the furnace and purify the raw ingredients. However, the store of knowledge in his own belly was rather limited, and coupled with the fact that he wasn't doing the work with his own hands, the result was that after three whole days, there was practically no progress whatsoever.

She knew the gravity of the situation. At present, they were still in the period of evading Emperor Xuanzong's pursuing troops; they needed to get through these three months at the very least to be considered relatively safe.

"What did you say?" The guard captain turned his head with a gloomy expression to look at the registration officer, and a flash of displeasure flickered in the eyes of the other NPC guards as well.

"Nothing, just the aftereffects of not exercising for a long time. But it won't happen again in the future." Expecting to be laughed at by Jiang Weiyu, Jiang Xia still forced himself to say it with a thick skin.

It turned out that the piano required much more than just good playing skills; more importantly, it required the ability to steer and elevate the atmosphere of the surroundings.

Yet, however unwilling she was, she still had to make this trip. Hou Shengnan might not listen to her grandfather and father, but her uncle's words were an absolute command. Never mind that on the surface she appeared utterly indifferent to power struggles and elite family circles, with newspapers and magazines all claiming she had carved out her own world abroad entirely through her own relentless drive.

Meimei was very satisfied with Grandma Yang's reaction, which showed that in the old lady's heart, Yan Mingshun's position was the absolute most important. Besides, the old lady wouldn't just hand out kindness arbitrarily, unlike that Elder Yan.

Apart from those making inquiries, there were also a small number of skeptics who called in to question them, demanding to know how their television station could have degenerated to such a degree as to run advertisements for others, leaving the hotline staff utterly exasperated.

Amidst the prevailing panic and unease, the Chinese embassy stationed in Japan adopted a strong and resolute stance, declaring that the incident must be thoroughly investigated. If Japan lacked the capability to conduct a proper investigation, then China would step in.

Zheng Xiaobao said with a smile, "Then let's rent a three-wheeler and go look around together. Take your time walking, I'll go find a vehicle first." With that, he stepped out of the room.

This indicated that Ximen Qing, who had always brazenly flaunted his lustful nature, did not dare to acknowledge his homosexual inclinations out of fear of being ridiculed, harboring a deep sense of guilt within.

Before Liu Junyu could even react, he was seized by several bodyguards of the Liu family head and subjected to four consecutive strikes that shattered both his hands and feet. Piercing screams, akin to a slaughtered pig, echoed far and wide.

Qin Huairu still couldn't quite believe that such a wonderful opportunity had once been so close to her, only to vanish in the blink of an eye.

Jimmy had seen the person in charge a few times at the ranch, after all, the annual contract signings took place right there on the grounds, and the person would occasionally come over to inspect the growth of the vegetables, so they still looked quite familiar.

The Great Xia dynasty truly had no one else available to use, so whenever a Martial King appeared, the Great Xia would actively try to win them over.

She gave an exaggerated and distorted account of what had just happened, in the end claiming all the credit for herself while completely omitting any mention of Yang Haotian saving her.

Hearing this reply, Pan Xiaoting ceased to worry. At worst, she would lose one hundred thousand, whereas the other party was the one taking the heavy hit.

Therefore, wherever a spirit-grade plant was located, there would typically be no other vegetation within a radius of several miles; even the most common banyan trees and shrubs found it difficult to survive there, simply because they could not compete with a spiritual plant for resources.
