Chapter 129: The Local Despot

"Who goes there!"

Suddenly, a eunuch in the palace pricked up his ears and barked in a deep voice.

Just a moment ago, as Ye Changmian was listening to the critical information, he could not conceal the murderous intent in his heart, causing his aura to leak out. Seeing this, Ye Changmian had no choice but to retreat. The masters here were no weaker than him.

...

Still groggy, Yang Pan'er could not resist the fate of an early start, so she had to let them handle her as they pleased.

Li Chengqian, his eyes bloodshot, grabbed Hou Lian'er’s hand and shouted in anger. Hou Lian'er was startled at first, then reached out furiously to scratch his face.

The Prince of Jin’s mansion was located in the center of Dayuan City. It did not occupy much land, and its mottled walls were already showing signs of decay, revealing the bare earth beneath in many places.

"Stop sighing, Zhang Yang is coming over!" Jiang Xiaozhu said, looking at Old Zhang, who was emerging from the dormitory building entrance with his head tucked into his coat.

"Why don't we go check the Chamber of Commerce branch? Maybe we can find help there," Yifan suggested.

...

The fashion of this era was still influenced by the previous dynasty; casual wear was designed to be loose and practical for movement, with a slight touch of foreign influence.

"Then what must I do for you to believe me, Your Highness? We have been childhood sweethearts for so many years; is that not even worth this shred of trust?" He Ling asked in a tone of profound helplessness, as she could find no better justification than this.

True to Brook's words, the group trekked through the forest. In such a dense jungle, they did not see even a single mosquito.

Although Han Chao had once prepared herbal remedies for Xia Yue, the formula was vastly different from Liu Qingyi’s.

At this moment, ignoring Valhalla entirely, he fixed his gaze on Landon, two sharp rays of light piercing through the shadows and striking Landon’s face.

Chen Li and Boss Zhang did not look particularly pleased, but they could only force smiles and follow along behind.

Listening to Hu Tingyu’s explanation, Hu Yudao’s heart finally settled, and he repeated the words with a sense of relief.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Situ Ce’s eyes. He was a brilliant talent, overshadowing the entire Northern Prefecture, revered as the Protector of the State and hailed as the Saint of Situ.

Ye Tian saw this scene, his eyes suddenly narrowing. "What the hell! Is he even human?"

Nangong Yue knelt on one knee, head hanging low, biting her lip so hard it broke and began to bleed.

He had expected Yang Liyun’s arrival to bolster their presence, but he never imagined she would be beaten black and blue, completely stripped of her momentum.

Ye Tian’s low roar echoed throughout the entire arena. Just those three words made the scalps of the junior students in the audience tingle.

...

Ji Nian’s face was twisted in agony; he truly did not want to give up this opportunity now that Ye Tian had become an ordinary human.

In fact, it was only four or five stories high, and its architectural style was actually quite similar to those on Earth—square and boxy.

"Very well. We shall proceed as you suggest. Also, Shen Yan, you must handle counter-espionage, while you, Xu Kehai, must maintain social order to prevent panic during the war," Li Junhao added.

Friendship should be based on equal contribution, but when I count it up, Yuezi has given me far more than I have ever given her.

However, Su Wei could already feel that the cold affliction in Mei Yinxue’s body was concentrated in the twelve main meridians, mostly stagnating in the three yin meridians of the hands and feet, as if the pipes were clogged with blocks of ice.

Zhao Rushuang merely nodded. The man bowed and opened the rear door, never once glancing at Su Wei from beginning to end.

Sophie lowered her head, thinking to herself: As I suspected, even though we do not speak the same language, I still have no idea where he came from.

I suddenly felt that if not for some flaw in his body or character, one could say that fate had been too kind to him. He possessed a noble background, a prestigious family, immense wealth, and an appearance that invited jealousy.
