Chapter 52

Throughout the entire journey, not a single patrol squad was encountered, nor was there any sign of anyone coming to attack them. This was truly abnormal.

Qinghe absent-mindedly poked at the food in his bowl with his chopsticks, his eyes rolling about restlessly while his ears were stretched out as long as possible, listening intently while secretly complaining to himself.

"Sister Ling, do you think I look like I'm joking?" Liang Dong forced a smile. As expected, many people considered his matter to be unreliable, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the matter itself was indeed unreliable.

"Let's follow them as well!" Chief Leader One looked up and said. This was unavoidable; if he did not follow, Mu Ling'er's identity might be misunderstood, and it would be disastrous if any adverse consequences arose.

"Sigh!" Old Man Lin's words carried a sense of vicissitudes, causing a faint sense of unease to stir in Lin Xifan's heart. However, he also knew that if Old Man Lin could not handle the matter, his own worry would be utterly useless.

Hearing Cao Yu's words, Xu Zhe gave him a sidelong glance. Lanster, standing beside Xu Zhe, blurted out the word "idiot," causing Cao Yu to fly into a rage.

"Lord Lucifer, what you just saw was the God of Light, Bright," Wang Bao said.

"Alright!" Everyone responded and continued crouching. After a moment, the leading team of people had walked into their firing range. Lin Feng silently waved his hand, and immediately several strange "poof, poof" sounds rang out, causing a dozen of those men to collapse on the spot immediately.

Because this date held truly transformative significance for orphans like them who had once possessed nothing.

The First Prince also felt somewhat helpless. None of these people were simple characters. If they resorted to force, it would likely drag on endlessly unless it became a life-and-death struggle. Furthermore, even if they managed to break in, there was no guarantee that the Big Dipper would concede defeat. For the first time, the First Prince felt a sense of powerlessness.

Yeyingyi did not forget their previous agreement and called upon Nicis to go down to the sea to fetch plenty of seafood to satisfy Kretika's hunger.

Upon learning of this outcome, aside from the Chairman, all the senior executives of the Dragon Domain Group fell into a heavy silence.

That split second move was likely due to Li Yuzhu suddenly releasing the chain of her crescent-shaped short blade, allowing the weapon to fly out of her hand. However, guided by the tension of the chain, she was still able to control and redirect its trajectory, making it seem as though the blade had magically extended by a section.

The surrounding soldiers hesitated for a moment, and then most of them followed Qin Feng's instructions, raising their hands. Although it felt somewhat humiliating, there was no other choice. Who could blame them for their bad luck in encountering such a situation?

An Liang took a deep breath and opened the search engine "Omniscience." This was a search engine covering up to ninety-nine percent of the entire network, and the information it could retrieve was extremely comprehensive.

Xu Xiao frowned. This Zhu fellow had adopted such a strong, commanding tone right from the start, making him feel somewhat displeased.

Qin Feng did not try to stop them, because he understood the anger burning in his brothers' hearts, and this rage needed an outlet.

Without speaking, he handed over the membership card from his pocket. Raman instinctively took it, then with his unhandcuffed hand, awkwardly retrieved his phone and scanned the membership card—one of only eight gigabit-level membership cards in the entire world.

Qin Feng turned around and glared fiercely at the company commander. Meeting Qin Feng's murderous gaze, the commander was startled, swallowed hard, and obediently lowered his head without another word.

Xu Xiao had no choice but to gather his thoughts and briefly recount the events of entering Red Flag Village.

"Are you saying that you should perhaps have a jade pendant like this?" Ouyang Ya asked softly.

Tang Mei went over to the Old Madam's quarters. Seeing that she was fully dressed and adorned, the Old Madam led her out to where sedan chairs had long been waiting, and they headed toward the palace. In truth, today's event had come as a complete surprise to the Old Madam; the palace had proactively sent an eunuch to the estate to convey the Empress Dowager's will, which was the only reason for this trip.

Shen Huan slowly walked up to him, and his numb hands pulled a white pill from his sachet, crushed it behind his back, and let the pale yellow powder scatter with the wind, releasing a strange fragrance into the air.

The water in the wooden tub was neither too hot nor too cold, making it exceptionally comfortable to soak in. She closed her eyes and enjoyed it thoroughly for a while before returning to her bedroom.

Wine is a magical liquid; people like to drink it when they are frustrated, and they also like to drink it when they are triumphant. It has become an indispensable part of many people's lives. Some call it a poison that eats away at the intestines, while others praise it as a supreme cure for worries.

A timely snow promises a bountiful year. Heavy snow is an auspicious omen, foretelling that the coming year will be a harvest season. A snowfall that had not reached the level of a disaster draped the culturally rich, ancient capital in a pristine, foreign-looking wedding gown.

Unlike formations like the Twenty-Eight Mansions which required multiple people to set up, the formation of the Eight Immortals array did not rely on ordinary astrological positioning arrays, but rather required a celestial treasure.

Zhang Jun straddled the latest model of the Six-Eye Phantom, and Ding Shengnan fiercely revved the throttle. The Six-Eye Phantom erupted with the roar of a mechanical beast, darting forward abruptly and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Where should they go for dinner? That required no thought at all; the 16th floor of the New Century Mall was the best choice.

In June 2007, Jonathan arrived at his own club—a club that truly belonged to him. First came a series of handovers, followed by a lengthy speech in which he declared that he would definitely keep the club in the Premier League and that his ultimate goal was to break into European competitions.

"That was in the past. Now that Eldest Sister is leading us in making peanut crisp candies, I can earn money every day just by wrapping candies in paper!" When Yang Wanwu spoke of this, his heart swelled with pride. Ever since he started making candy with Eldest Sister, life at home had improved significantly. They had meat and meat soup every day, and he had grown much sturdier himself.

Afterwards, without waiting for Cheng Xiaolu to reply, Ling Yin walked onto the stage. She was the host, and Zhao Fan's impromptu event was an idea she had proposed.
