Volume 1 Chapter 21 Building Wealth

The old man’s clouded eyes turned toward Li Xian, and he gestured toward the woodshed not far away. Li Xian immediately recalled the woodshed; he had just opened the door to peek inside and noticed signs of habitation, along with some food stored there. He figured the old man must have been living there all along.

Li Xian nodded and said, "My name is Li Xian—'Li' as in plum, 'Xian' as in leisure. I will return in a few days; you just stay here."

With that, Li Xian took Xiao An by the hand and left the Liu residence. As for the old man behind them, he simply picked up his broom again, sweeping the courtyard slowly, stroke after stroke, as if tireless.

After locking the courtyard gate, he glanced back at the Liu residence...

It could only be described as an inherent crushing of status. Just by having Qi Ping stand by his side, Chen Sen could already feel the gazes of those present filled with a hint of wariness and jealousy.

It was fortunate he wasn't drinking water, or he surely would have spat it out. To think that while the couple acted cold and hostile toward each other in public, they could be like nothing had happened once they were home and had shed their clothes.

Jin Linya nodded blankly, watching as the bullet slowly turned to sand in the air, disappearing completely with a gust of wind.

"It is merely a lost treasure. Furthermore, they do not even know who stole it. Who dares to be so presumptuous as to come and accuse this King!" Lan Yeming narrowed his deep, dark eyes, a cold glint flashing in their depths.

His brows, sharp as if carved by a knife, tilted slightly upward. His eyes were as deep as an ancient well, his nose bridge was prominent, and a gentle smile played at the corners of his mouth. His facial contours were distinct and profound.

Using an observer to confirm Ram's location, it seemed he was fretting over that pile of ingredients. Hei Shisan resolved to help Hao Ren; as for the final outcome, he would worry about that later.

Old Master He’s hand, resting on the table, clenched into a fist, his teeth grinding together with a grating sound that was quite frightening.

"Just providing a method, or a physical object, to someone else." Hei Shisan understood immediately what Cui Bis was talking about.

Nie Kong opened his friend list and dialed a call to Suixing Chengfeng, who usually streamed at this hour.

For now, he could only start from this dream; he would see what Pandora's goal was before making any further plans.

After receiving Bai Sen’s affirmative answer, Ying Yue was filled with excitement and threw herself at him without a second thought.

Mo Qianning waved her hand, truly unable to fathom how Wang Siyu’s brain worked; she couldn't grasp such a simple and easy-to-understand principle.

A man with a high-pitched, delicate voice—this was his most distinctive feature. With such a trait, it probably wouldn't be hard to track him down in the gambling den.

This trip to the North Sea turned into an ordeal. We returned to Yu City on the afternoon of the second day, and after we got back, Ye Hansheng was constantly busy with work. I could only stay at the villa; perhaps because I hadn't been going anywhere lately, I had become a bit of a homebody myself.

"So, that’s how it is," the man in the blood mist muttered to himself, then casually tossed aside the corpse of a Shadow creature with its neck twisted. Watching his relaxed demeanor, one would never guess he had been discovered by the enemy before fully recovering his strength.

Su Nan laughed while leaning down, whispering a few words into the Four-Wheel Fighter’s ear.

Fifty meters ahead of him stood a mecha. Judging by its movement patterns and the indentations on the ground, it appeared to be an assault-class mecha.

An Ruoran’s look of shock was etched into his mind. Mu Ximo closed his eyes; a long pain is worse than a short one. It was better to be clear now. The time they had spent together had already given Mu Ximo beautiful memories, so he did not regret it.

The giant ape was ferocious, its physique like divine steel, indestructible. It shattered Yang Yu’s sword radiance, sending him flying back hundreds of feet, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth.

Du Ruo followed the stretcher numbly, the vague, incomprehensible medical jargon ringing in her ears. She could barely hear it clearly, feeling as if she were in a dream.

Kre was ninety-nine percent certain that Earl Odin was Ye Yuhuan’s benefactor, and that the notoriously idle Young Master Aowei was her uncle. But still...

Ye Hua sighed and stepped forward. He understood his sister’s thoughts; she was afraid that if Feng Jiao gave birth to a son, their father would give everything to that child, including the title and property. However, he didn't care about such things; he could earn his own way.

Zhang Jing brought over the unfinished takeout that Fei’er had wanted, and took two sausages from the refrigerator along the way.

All the hard work of these many days had not been in vain. The four Hall Masters braced themselves to face this legendary pill tribulation. This was a genuine benefit; it was likely no other pharmacist in the world had ever encountered such a miracle.

She could feel Tie Yannan’s firm conviction, and she understood even better why he had to fight Wei Yefeng.

"The doctor said she has at most a few days left." As he spoke, both Zhang Hu and his wife were covered in tears.

The Hengfa Hotel offered good benefits and high wages. The two security guards had pulled many strings to get in, so naturally, they cherished the opportunity.

At the same time, a red light erupted a thousand feet high from the mountaintop, proving that Luo Caiyu possessed the purest bloodline of the Cailuan clan, which also confirmed what Long Xuan had said earlier.

"What a fierce wife," Jun Ninglan thought to himself. Her flavor was so exquisite that he forgot to show restraint, unable to help but gallop wantonly. After the clouds and rain had settled, he felt as satisfied as a sated beast, licking his lips as he pulled her into his arms.

Jun Linchu also noticed the heated way he was staring at Ye Zhen. He frowned, a surge of anger rising in his heart, and barked, "Second brother!" Jun Shaonian embarrassedly withdrew his gaze, pretending not to care as he pressed a fist to his lips and coughed lightly; it was, after all, somewhat awkward.

True enough, if it were Mana, how could she have put me on the bed and tucked the quilt in so snugly?

If he let her go, he would have nowhere to show off, and it would be difficult to manipulate Shen Tang as easily as he had at the beginning.

But though he thought it, Lin Yang did not say it aloud. Calming his emotions, he stepped forward. Since this group had come primarily for him, he could not hide in the back. Thus, Lin Yang said, "Since that is the case, I am afraid there is no room for negotiation."

Looking at the hundred-man team before him, Can Lang’s scarred face also revealed a satisfied smile.

With that, she rushed directly into the changing room, not bothering with Lin Zerong; after all, his wedding attire was easier to put on.

The people behind them began to crowd forward, and Ouyang Yunhui and the others, having given up on this cramped opportunity for gossip, slowly retreated.

Just then, He Jing’s phone rang. She pulled it out and saw a number that, while lacking a contact name, was all too familiar—it was Cheng Yue.

"Once my injuries recover, I’d like to see what the 'Number One Genius of the South Province' is truly capable of," Qin Yu sneered inwardly.

Leopards were quite accustomed to such pitch-black environments, but without a guide, they would surely have no idea where they were going.

Following a roar from Wu Zhehan, dozens of high-speed fireballs paused for a moment in the air before slamming violently toward Wang Ling.
