Chapter 33: Deepening the Investigation, First Glimpse of the Maiden

"Zhou Lianshun?" Qin Feng murmured the name to himself as he walked back.

Given the current situation, it would be best to head to Dayi Village first, locate Zhou Lianshun’s home, and have his family identify the body.

Thinking of Dayi Village, Qin Feng could not help but recall a girl named Zhou Hui; she seemed to be from that very village. Having hunted so much game this time, he wondered if he should sell the furs...

At that moment, the last surviving member of the Five Tigers of the Qi family finally broke free from his constraints, his expression wild with madness as he roared and charged toward Xia Yunshen.

"Reporting to my King, Yue Yi, Han Fei, and the others request an audience," Liu Tu whispered as he approached Zi Zhi.

They bypassed the Heaven-Reaching Waterfall and headed in another direction. With the limited visibility under the dim twilight, they could only search bit by bit.

Fortunately, Liu Bian did not hold high expectations for the standoff; after all, his opponent was none other than Cao Cao of Wei. Such a formidable hero of his generation would not be easily outmaneuvered. It had taken all of Liu Bian’s ingenuity, combined with overwhelming force, to annihilate Temujin and Wanyan Zongwang back then.

However, the origin of this note left Zhangsun Chong feeling bewildered. Who on earth sent him this note? What was their true purpose? These questions plagued his mind.

At the same time, in the dense forest on another mountain peak, the figures of Fang Heng and Yue Xian arrived.

Only Nie Qizhan was holding his opponent firmly in check. It was no longer a matter of him being suppressed; the two had reached a stalemate.

"Father is right; it was Imperial Brother who taught me to be this way. Therefore, Imperial Brother must take responsibility and provide this princess with enough silver as compensation," Li Lizhi said, glaring fiercely at Li Tai.

Zi Zhi raised his right hand slightly and said indifferently, "The Goryeo people are now citizens of my Liaodong. They are entitled to all the rights of our nationals. This is stipulated by the new law, not an act of my personal benevolence." Zi Zhi did not want to dwell on this topic; he was more interested in the purpose of Kong Jie’s visit today.

Emperor Mingxi frowned and asked, "What kind of beast could bite you?" He had personally hired masters to teach his son martial arts and had watched him master them himself. Ordinary people could not harm him, let alone a beast.

Xie Zitao took two involuntary steps back, his voice trembling slightly and his eyes shifting evasively, not daring to look at the fruit on the ground.

Lu Qingzheng had been sitting in restless anticipation, and upon hearing Pei Hanjin’s voice, he immediately stood up.

She had had thoughts about the cat-ear cafe last time, but after much hesitation, she suppressed the idea.

The overall strength of Yujiang City was very weak. If the Yongbei Mining Group had not been afraid of the Black Snake Gang in the south raiding their base, and had they not been occupied with dealing with the evolution of the Night Demons, they would have long since taken Yujiang.

Even he would not dare to engage in forced buying or selling within the sanctuary; such matters of principle were something even his backers might not be able to protect him from.

Wen Rong was truly exhausted. She was already mentally drained and pregnant, so once she settled down, she drifted off to sleep before long.

It was precisely for this reason that Qin Feng’s plan to build a city here became extremely difficult.

The tooth blade sliced through, and with one collision, it struck Kali’s outermost Wall of Sighs until it teetered; a follow-up blow caused the wall to collapse entirely.

It made sense; for a man like Fu Yunchuan, being cheated on by his wife would naturally incite anger.

After venting his frustration, Bennett managed to suppress his rage slightly, his head hanging low as his hands repeatedly clenched and relaxed.

"Oh, it stinks! I say, Mu Mu, why have so many flies gotten into your place?" Xiao Nuo joked as he walked in, his demeanor truly provoking the urge to punch him.

Therefore, Lian Zhu had made up her mind and announced the news, informing them that she would be preparing a special New Year’s Eve dinner for them.

Without any suspense, the Binjiang University basketball team won their first game and successfully advanced to the Round of 16.

The day before the wedding, Ouyang Wan’s dowry was paraded out in a grand procession, and after making a large circle along the widest and longest Imperial Road in the capital, it was finally delivered to the Ling Mansion.

"Did you see how the police caught those people?" Ye Mu looked at Xiao Nuo with confusion.

These were all significant matters. While they might just be domestic affairs of the inner chambers, one had to consider that if even the household was not stable, how could one expect outsiders to view these matters as respectable?

Long Ao could not help but sigh to himself; children these days were all precocious, truly understanding everything.

Watching the two figures walk away, Xu Liang’s eyes seemed to spew fire. What did he have to be proud of? Wasn't it Li Piaoxue who had resolved the matter? The more she acted this way, the more Xu Liang longed to conquer her. To a man, this was both a challenge and a supreme honor.

"Sleeping on a heated kang—haha, Boss, this is my first time sleeping on one." After washing up, Zhao Min looked at the bedding on the kang with a smile, leaped onto it, lifted the quilt, and burrowed inside.

The newly emerged Master Brain was even more formidable than those of them who had existed for thousands of years, causing their sense of crisis to skyrocket. Having existed for so long, it was impossible that they hadn't evolved, but the newcomer’s starting point was higher than theirs; whether they could continue to exist in the future was now in question.

His expression was focused and absorbed; even though there was nothing on the ground, he searched with stubborn persistence.

"This... as soon as the news of Princess Luo Qi’s death arrived, Princess Feng Yin sent someone to summon a coroner to investigate," You Ming replied after a moment of thought.

Zong Yang’s spiritual sense was weak; he only caught a glimpse of a soul flashing from afar, unable to distinguish its appearance through the blur.

"Big Brother is perhaps even further away in the Demon Realm," the silver-masked man said, looking up at the waning moon in the night sky.

They were already starving, yet they still ganged up to bully the poor soul—it was simply unbrotherly. At the very least, they should have let the person eat their fill before bullying them.

He walked over, snatched the instant noodles away, and said in a reproving tone, "Could you eat a little less? I’ll treat you to lunch early." Before I could even respond, he gobbled up the noodles in a few large bites.

"Ah Xue, what’s wrong? Did something happen to Wu Xie?" Luo Qingyue searched desperately outside the stone gate, but her efforts yielded nothing.

To the local people, Liuli was their living Bodhisattva; not only was she beautiful, but her heart was also incredibly kind.
