Chapter 129: Discarding the Millstone Once the Grain Is Ground

At first, there was no intention of bringing Su Shanshan along.

However, Qiao Lan, with her spoiled, young-lady temperament, simply refused to go out to work! She stayed home, relying on others, and paid no mind to anything her parents said.

She eventually compromised, but only on the condition that her best friend, Su Shanshan, could accompany her; otherwise, she wouldn't go at all.

And so, the two of them came together.

"They’re just bumpkins, aren't they? Why can't anyone say so?"

......

He was truly bewitched. How was it that now, no matter what happened, he would interpret it in such... an unhealthy way?

Zhu Yingying smiled in response and began to peel back the oil paper layer by layer. Sure enough, inside the wrapping lay a roasted chicken, its skin glistening with golden fat and still radiating a trace of warmth.

Just then, a delicate, youth-like figure was spotted skipping toward the haystack. Seeing that opportunity was fleeting and once lost, would never return, Lu Bu rolled off the stack and swept the youth into his arms.

Unexpectedly, the next words spoken by the King of Thieves, Meng Sanxing, left even the old drunkard, Lei Dongtian, completely bewildered!

Just as Song Yu was about to leave, Yingjun, hidden somewhere nearby, felt he had been shortchanged. Naturally, having been inexplicably hunted, he intended to claim the compensation he was owed.

"Then I shall trouble you." Murong Lanxin knew when to stop and did not press further. "It seems there are benefits to getting out and about... Oh? A dismissal letter? Who has such great standing that you must handle it personally?" As she spoke, she snatched the official document from the desk and opened it to read.

Feng Zhongguo was tired—truly tired. He no longer possessed his former vigor, and the corners of his eyes and brows were etched with sorrow and the marks of time.

The blue-haired man waved his hand, and all the men in black knelt down in unison, shouting "Young Master!" The sound was deafening and sincere, leaving Lin Yi to wonder if these people were truly left behind by his father. Yet, his father had been gone for over a decade, and he had never heard his mother mention any former subordinates.

"Early? It is quite early, but it’s all because of the noise those fellows outside are making. I’m going to make them pay." Yingjun yawned as he spoke, showing that his master was still not quite awake.

Zhu Yingying offered a mischievous smile. "No matter, watch how this Princess saves it!" With that, she lifted her skirt, prepared to leap out.

Qin Lie sat quietly in meditation until dusk, when he finally opened his eyes. A sharp flash of lightning flickered in his gaze, and even his breathing turned slightly more violent, laced with the swift, thunderous force of a storm.

It would have been better if Yi Heshuo hadn't spoken; but the moment he mentioned there were still remnants of the Qianyun Sect, a formless aura suddenly surged from Hei Han’s body, though it was suppressed as quickly as it had appeared.

In this hell filled with the most wicked of souls, there were quite a few whom he had sent there with his own hands.

Lin Wei carefully scrutinized the three of them. It was clear that they had no realization that they had just been caught in some sort of illusion.

By utilizing technology that surpassed Paso’s, countless biological genes had been fused to create this ultimate being, possessing the strengths of all creatures—power, defense, stamina, and regenerative capacity. With the advantages of so many species gathered into one, if such a creature were not the strongest, who could be?

Changsun Xiu was first puzzled as to why Ming Shen’s hometown had such peculiar customs, and then utterly shocked that falling in love required performing such shameful acts.

Furthermore, Meng Huo allowing Meng Qingtong to participate in the upcoming Hidden Dragon Ranking competition and sending Mu Xiang to Qinzhou City was surely not without the intention of scouting the situation there.

The Fire Dragon Pirates, led by the God of Thunder, Enel, achieved an unquestionable and overwhelming victory over the Straw Hat Pirates.

Some of the men choked back sobs, while others wailed openly. Seeing his brothers act this way for his sake warmed Li Songda’s heart, and a few tears slipped from the corners of his eyes. To die like this was enough.

A-Fa and Fangfang went on like that, one speaking after the other, never forgetting to stuff food into their mouths as they talked.
