Chapter 55: The Zhuge Repeating Crossbow

Though the other three businesses did not rival the one managed directly by Zhao Su, their combined daily income still reached fifty thousand strings of cash. Altogether, in a single day, the four shops brought in the astonishing sum of one hundred seventy thousand strings. If the other shopkeepers were to learn of this, they would surely bow to Zhao Su as if he were the God of Wealth himself.

What Zhao Su did not know was that, in the days to come, he would truly become the “God of Wealth”...

“Hah! How arrogant—to let me choose?” Cui Yong laughed in fury, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light.

But Yang Yuhan was about his own age; as for his powerful internal energy, that was the result of his father’s medicinal aids and secret techniques.

Not long after, Mo Bo unexpectedly issued a statement, urging everyone to refrain from discussing unfounded rumors during their free time and to focus on their work.

“The main issue... isn’t it just arranging an entrance for you? I’ll have a product manager discuss it with you later,” Wu Ruibo replied casually.

He knew that Chu Sheng had studied taekwondo and was even a black belt expert. In the past, he would never have stood a chance against Chu Sheng.

Upon hearing this, Jennifer kept prying at the fingers with which Beckett gripped her collar, looking at him as if he were a fool.

The Shadow Panther roared defiantly, unafraid. In his eyes, the two before him were nothing but insects, yet they dared resist—a crime beyond forgiveness.

“I understand,” Black Phoenix nodded. Annoying as Ye Tao might be, she had to admit he was quite capable. With his joining the Black Dragon Guard, their strength would indeed be enhanced.

Not wishing to waste time, Su Han launched an aggressive attack from the start. Wherever Lin Qingyin’s pieces showed a flaw, he struck. As for Lin Qingyin, she seemed unable to withstand Su Han’s assault and was forced to defend at every turn. In just a short while, Lin Qingyin was at a disadvantage, barely hanging on by a thread.

The three entered the house and chose a table by the window. Inside, the place was simple and clean: a porcelain vase with a few willow branches stood on the counter by the door; on the central wall hung a painting of an immortal bestowing longevity; six tables, each with wooden benches, filled the room, unadorned and straightforward.

Upon learning of these developments, King Yellow Shark realized the situation was far more complicated than it appeared. He determined to do whatever it took to eliminate the Red Snapper Corps, who at any moment could bring disaster upon him. He ordered King Mighty Shark and King Silver Shark to intensify their patrols and continued to seek assistance from King Dragon Shark, begging him to send more troops.

“Suliang Ying, what are you doing?” The clan chief appeared behind me with several elders and my father, his face dark, his usual kindness gone.

Zhuang Jian also nodded. The Azure Winged Divine Clan was recorded in the Book of All Creatures; if the Imperial Clan of the Supreme Heaven prided itself on noble blood, then the Azure Winged Divine Clan were aristocrats in essence, perhaps not even of human lineage.

“Finish him off for me!” Old Ren’s words still carried weight. At once, the two hundred people in the room charged at Guo Nianfei, some even grabbing sharpened toothbrushes from under the beds.

Without siege engines, the entire army—both soldiers and horses—was exhausted. To speak of attacking Luoyang, the most impregnable city in the realm, was pure fantasy; even marching the army to Xin’an was an extravagant hope.

“Whether it matters is for me to decide, not you,” Bing Ruiya replied with a cold sneer, utterly unafraid of the Ice Beast King’s terrifying gaze.

“I want you dead!” Iris shouted furiously, stabbing with her saber. Suddenly, Wen Hou revealed a sinister smile; he did nothing to defend, nor did he attack her again. He simply let Iris come at him, and just as she was about to land a blow, Wen Hou stepped back.
