Chapter 157: Making Arrangements

"Haha, to eat and to lust are the natural desires of human nature."

Qin Xiao laughed heartily, feeling much more relaxed.

"Anning, I still have important matters to attend to. If you need anything later, just come directly to the Imperial Study or the Taiji Hall to find me."

With that, the two of them parted ways.

After returning to the Imperial Study, Qin Xiao...

Right now, however, Zhang Qi knew he was riding a tiger and found it hard to dismount. He had offended the Jiang family, and they would never give him any money in the future. If he were to go back on his word now, the Jiang family would sue him for defamation and slander, resulting in a loss that outweighed any gain. Thus, he pinned his hopes on Ning Bolun.

The passing World Tree plant guards made way for Malin. These treants, acting under Mana's command in the battle last night, had completely shattered the Forgers' security system.

Qin Qingchao smiled without speaking, her fingers still tapping lightly against the tabletop, maintaining a very gentle rhythm.

Five minutes later, another knight arrived, accompanied by the shared lord of both knights—Baron Fahim Calderon, who brought yet another knight with him.

Nurgle's remaining malevolent aura, like snow exposed to the scorching sun, instantly receded. In its place, the radiant light of life ignited the enthusiastic flames of vitality, burning without restraint.

"Look at your vegetable garden, Grandmother. There is neither a single weed nor a patch of dry earth. You must have tended to it with great care every day."

"Return to Taiyuan Prefecture." Li Jiancheng had no choice, reluctant though he was. He couldn't possibly chase after the vanguard troops and demand a share of the spoils; even if he swallowed his pride and asked, they might not give him anything.

"Go to the sanctuary to see my husband." The old lady smiled, a trace of sorrow and melancholy in her expression.

In a fraction of a moment, three or four Death Eaters were blown apart, losing limbs as green blood splattered everywhere. The black woman immediately wore a harmonious smile and nodded repeatedly.

Xili reached out to brush away Izumi's bangs, gazing at the Yin Seal on her forehead. With this thing there, he could feel a bit more at ease.

Now that Gu Xiao had finally delivered himself to her doorstep, she was certainly not willing to let such a golden opportunity slip through her fingers in vain.

He looked at Ye Yuan in shock, trying to connect this young man with the currently booming number one person in the Southern Realm.

Qin Muhan nodded, let go of her hand, leaped with a swift movement to the side of the mother leopard, patted its back, and pulled it along as they headed upward.

I found some strips of cloth to wrap my feet casually. After tidying up, I checked the time; it was already four in the morning. Neither Sixi nor I went back to sleep. We just stayed in the room with the lights on, smoking in silence.

However, Jiang Chen also noticed one thing: cultivators at the sixth level of the True Dan Realm or those with a combat power exceeding five would always regain consciousness at critical moments.

Presumably, Yufen must have known today that there was little hope of getting Chengfei a job in the city, so she harbored malicious intentions and deliberately told Zhou Yunmei, prompting Zhou Yunmei to come back and pick a fight with her.

The moment that person was pulled out of the water, in a blur, I seemed to see something pitch-black being dragged out from his foot. But when I looked closer, I found nothing there at all.

The world in my eyes was turned upside down. Below was pitch darkness; I could no longer see anyone else, nor did I know where they had been dragged by the vines.

As it happened, because Luo Zhiyong had left, Fang Pingying felt distressed inside and always wanted to find something to pass the time; otherwise, her mind would easily drift to Luo Zhiyong.

The pool of water instantly turned into barren ground, leaving only a few scattered fish leaping on the ground as the sole proof that the pool had ever existed.

On the other hand, Xu Ye, a disciple who had never coveted such resources, did not hand over the white jade bone he had obtained right away this time. Instead, he carried the white jade bone over to a tree to find Heitong.
