Chapter 66: The Big Shot

The powerhouses of the myriad races all coveted the starry domains, as owning one allowed them to nurture more members of their clans. However, circumstances did not permit it, leaving them with no choice but to join forces and destroy it.

It was just that Ji Cheng had no desire to provoke them, which did not mean they would refrain from making a move. Initially, if Ji Cheng had stayed put, they would have paid him no mind, but as he attempted to leave, they tacitly and unanimously directed their attacks toward his direction.

"What if the item is small and makes a very faint sound? Not hearing it would be entirely normal!" someone raised a doubt.

"Yes! Director Linghu, I was wrong, I..." Chang Yunbo paused for a moment, then instinctively raised his head, only to be greeted by his cousin's stiff, forced smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang had just overthrown alien rule, and the hearts of the people were with him. Releasing these items wouldn't cause him much trouble, which was why I gave them to them.

"Senior Brother Dong, defeat that Yeling, crush him, and restore the honor of our Southern Courtyard!" The disciples of the Southern Courtyard shouted in support, hoping that Dong Yi could effortlessly defeat Yeling and wash away their past shame.

Instead, it was that boy who had protected her from the very beginning, treating her with the exact same steadfast kindness throughout.

"Terrible!" Qin Jian shook his head, indicating that Li Ba's voice was utterly grating. With a sudden kick, several of Li Ba's teeth were knocked out, flying through the air amidst a spray of blood.

"It seems this is the only way. Let's go." Liu Ran turned the car around. Yang Ji refused to give up, knocking on the door a few more times before finally getting into the vehicle.

"You're finally back. Without you here, we felt completely rudderless," Lan Lingfeng said with a chuckle.

"Silly child, we were the ones worried about you. Your original injuries hadn't even healed yet, and on top of that, you encountered such an ordeal... Heh, but fortunately, the storm has passed and the weather has cleared up," Mother Yan said with a smile.

The next day, he instructed the servants to take care of me over the next few days, letting me smash whatever I wanted without interference, as long as I ate my meals on time. After giving these instructions and offering a few words of caution, he left with Fu Bo to catch a flight abroad for a meeting.

The young man was already holding a purple-gold dragon-serpent bow in his hand at some point, his resolute gaze locked tightly onto Qingshui.

Was Ye Lingxi hearing things, or did the crying sounds of her three precious babies genuinely carry a hint of the message that they were hungry?

Aside from Princess Yiyang, probably no one else in this carriage procession was as extravagant and wealthy as the adopted son of this chief eunuch.

When Xiong Jiannan learned that Sun's mother had helped her arrange for campus housing, she viciously beat Sun's mother until her spleen ruptured, hospitalizing her for a full month before she recovered.

At this thought, Mu Ling no longer hesitated. His right hand formed a seal, and the nine baleful energy runes on the Samsara Altar within his body flashed in succession. The terrifying baleful energy in the baleful veins frantically converged before him, condensing into a blood-red ancient seal.

When Wei Xiao realized that his pitifully sparse sex life was due to such an absurd reason, he felt a wave of profound helplessness. Once the helplessness passed, he found it immensely amusing.

Just then, a group of people escorted a man inside. Su Wuxing recognized the detained man as the manager in charge of finances—a relative of their family. Her father had trusted him deeply during his lifetime, which was why he had been appointed as the financial manager.

Looking at the duplicate of his own face across from him, Ye Feng was deeply unsettled by its evil, sinister smile. He retorted, "Your smile is truly an insult to this handsome face of mine!" As he finished speaking, the two longswords seemed unable to withstand the immense pressure, shattering into pieces with a loud crack.

Yet, what use was there in speaking? It was true that this man was deeply affectionate, but it was equally true that he was cold and indifferent. If he loved her, he naturally would not fail her; if he did not love her, even if she knelt and begged him, he would not stay.

As for her, she knew very well that she suffered from an extreme lack of security. She truly needed a great deal of love—she needed Wei Xiao to love her very, very deeply.

Before the two of them, beside the Ferris wheel park where the thin mist had cleared, the pirate ship swayed from side to side, and an unknown trainee up there was screaming at the top of their lungs.

She wondered: for the sake of a base, both he and she had cast aside all familial ties, yet for the sake of Han Sui, he was actually willing to personally run over and demand a person from her.

"Yes, old Song said she came over last night, but turned back halfway and left. However, she will definitely come again," Xiao Yichen said, staring fixedly at Ye Moxing.

"Brother Hua," Su Ya cried out in sudden fright, quickly grabbing Ji Yuanhua's hand and gently removing the stone from his palm.

Yang Yu tilted her head, watching Li Shi's predictable expression, and subconsciously shifted her gaze toward Wang Jingzhi. However, that person's figure was already nowhere to be seen.

"His Majesty seems to treat you somewhat differently; perhaps he has other intentions," Zhao Dan said hesitantly, speaking in a stammering manner.

She ate very little, just a tiny bit, before going down to the stream to wash her hands. Then, wrapping her arms around her knees, she sat beside Xiao Yu, her hair fluttering in the wind. Amidst the undulating sea of flowers and under the warm sunlight, she sang a leisurely-paced tune, her voice clear and carrying an ethereal quality that was exceptionally pleasing to the ear.

Yang Yu was somewhat intoxicated, her head resting against the soft couch, half-asleep, her face tinged with an unnatural, flushed warmth.

Li Xiao walked slowly along the exquisite carpet on the ground, heading straight into Lopez's office. When he saw that the surrounding corridors and ceiling were covered in breathtakingly exquisite frescoes, a wave of inexplicable awe stirred within his heart.

Even though she could not see who had arrived, the sight of row after row of shoes visible through the gap in the bridal veil still filled her with joy.

To be honest, when Lu Xiangsheng proposed to appoint Li Xiao as the Regional Commander of Dengzhou and Liaodong, Li Xiao did not feel any particular excitement.

Jin Heixi suddenly felt that her life had been utterly pathetic! Upon careful reflection, it seemed there were hardly any days when she truly felt happy.

Yun Qing did not like being disturbed by too many people when bathing. Moreover, she now had to remain constantly alert to Xize's imperial procession, so she had dismissed everyone to guard the door.

Hai Tianjiao hesitated slightly, and Zhao Dan seized the opportunity to shoot him in the shoulder. Realizing he had no way to retaliate, Hai Tianjiao hurriedly turned and fled.

While she was momentarily overwhelmed with emotion, Cang Haiting took advantage of her throwing herself into his arms to pull her tightly against his chest.
