“Farewell, Shopkeeper Su. Farewell.”
“Farewell, President Su.”
“Farewell.”
“...”

The carriage curtain lifted, and President Ti gave Su Tang a wry smile.

Su Tang bent her knees in a respectful curtsy.

After President Ti's carriage departed, Su Tang turned and boarded her own.

But before getting in, she looked back.

Under the bright lantern light, the sign above the Liu residence stood half in shadow, and County Magistrate Liu, who had been seeing them off at the gate, remained there.

Yet what Zhang Baoyu had shown just now had already far exceeded what even a mountain recluse had imagined.

Mindflayers, also known as mind flayers, were a species unique to the underground world. Among the underground races, apart from dark elves and dark dwarves, they were one of the few highly intelligent peoples.

Still, in Hou Nitao’s view, this kind of headcount-based marketing would only annoy customers even more. He could only hope Seria would be lucky enough for the inn to welcome its second guest as soon as possible.

The moment Landon stepped out of the tavern, Avina had already seen him. She had been watching him the entire time, and now their gazes met in midair.

As time passed, the white light grew brighter and brighter. Outside the door, the three of them felt more and more at ease, as if they had worked themselves to exhaustion all day and were now enjoying the hands of a top-tier masseur in a massage parlor.

If it were a practitioner of the Buddhist path, then as long as one brought them there, there would likely be no danger; afterward, there might even be a reward.

He simply stuffed the immortal artifact into Zhang Baoyu’s hands, then turned and went back to his own cowshed to sleep.

Of course, none of these were the reasons Landon found troublesome. The problem was that this second sister had an explosively foul temper and looked on her younger brother with extreme dislike.

Hearing Loli Anne’s drowsy voice, Hou Nitao let out a heavy yawn. Sleepiness was contagious; he felt himself growing drowsier too, his steps even beginning to feel unsteady.

The nearly three hundred experts of the two nations formed two lines and, with all their might, finally overcame the pull of the black hole.

He forced himself to stay calm. Everything else was secondary now. What mattered was his future prospects. Without a future, Chang Fang would never give him a glance. Men had to make a career before they could make love.

Inside the hall, Luo Jiuchen was personally welcomed in by Chief Steward He Mu. He did not take a guest seat, but sat at the place of honor.

When Shen Jiaojiao did housework at home, she rarely did much. Her grandparents handled the chores, or else her mother did them. There was no need for her to lift a finger. Even in her own room, she only tidied up a little herself. As for mopping the floors and the like, she could practically count those occasions on one hand.

“After this battle, I shall also leave the martial world behind. I wonder when I will see that chatterbox again.” Chen Guhong felt a faint trace of nostalgia, and also thought himself ridiculous for missing such an infuriating talker.

Upon hearing how arrogantly Liu Xie spoke, Cao Jie slightly curled her lip. Then, rising to her feet, she asked with an arrogance that actually surpassed Liu Xie’s, brazenly.

Soon after, the spirit demon relayed to Wang Hao how Sarah had entered Pangu Space.

After entering the hotel, Ye Pingyu arrived at a large private banquet room. High Jinren, Chen Zhicheng, and the other senior leaders from the provincial capital naturally sat at the same table as Ye Pingyu. Qian Yuansheng and Hua Jianlou, the two main leaders of the city committee and city government, also had to sit with Ye Pingyu, while the others opened another table and ate together.

Thus, many martial artists who had not yet entered the Sacred Realm also yearned to enter it and become online shop merchants.

Beneath the shadow of death, if the King of the Underworld did not leave, those underworld generals would not dare to move first, and so they urged him on with all their might.

Huang Xiaoyuan had originally wanted to object, but after Lan Ying glared at him, the mouth he had just opened obediently closed again.

“...”

Luo Lin was already beyond speech. Yet when he thought of the tens of thousands of players in each novice village, if only one item dropped each time, how long would the queue have to be?

After waiting for what felt like ages and growing truly impatient, Luo Lin suddenly had an idea. He turned to the thunder frog, sprang up onto its back in one leap, and thus the new generation of Frog Prince was born.
