Chapter 49: If You Know How to Compliment, Compliment More
For a moment, Tang Siyuan and Zheng Hanwen were torn between joy and sorrow.
The joy was that they would receive a generous commission bonus; the sorrow was that they would probably have to spin like tops and work late into the night once again.
However, in the long run, seeing Yu's Grocery Store achieve such remarkable results still made them happy.
This meant that their income was not just a passing flash in the pan, but a continuous, steady stream.
For the sake of money, they were ready to risk it all!
Xiao Diewu completely lost her previous arrogance. Lowering her gaze and clenching her hands, she bit her lip bitterly as she huddled in Lady Gao's embrace. The two of them sat together on the ground; since Prince Min had not given them permission to stand, neither of them dared to get up or make the slightest move.
"A potion formula? So a single dose of medicine can alter the constitution of the Illusory Water Clan." A look of complete understanding crossed her face. She had thought it would be some difficult task—yet alchemy was one of her ultimate specialties, as she hadn't served as the leader of the Heavenly Condemnation Battle Alliance for nothing.
"Naturally. Since the girl has already been compromised by him, this marriage must be finalized. Otherwise, wouldn't our Liu family's reputation be utterly ruined? As for the Prince of Yong'an's Estate, you can simply tell them the truth and call off the engagement with that princess," the Old Lady Liu decreed with finality.
Along the way, birds sang and flowers bloomed; the scenery was incomparably breathtaking and pleasantly delightful, resembling a paradise away from the world rather than a graveyard. Compared to the battlefield they had just left, it was like heaven and earth, utterly beyond comparison.
Funing turned back, however, and said indignantly, "Second Sister, I only told you about this because I consider you a friend, thinking it was just a bit of fun. If you dare to go and tell my mother and the Sixth Brother, I will never let you hear the end of it!" With that, she stomped heavily down the stairs.
While applying medicine to Long Qi and the others, Rong Heng suppressed the shock churning within him. His mind was buzzing, and everything happening before his eyes was simply too much to digest.
The destructive magical energy gradually transformed into its ultimate form, and the true seventh-tier power emanated from her body.
However, as the two vehicles passed the first checkpoint, Wu Fan knew that half of the mission had already succeeded.
Zhang Long turned his head, casting a glance at the two grandmasters. A look of utter indifference in his starry eyes left the two grandmasters speechless once more, their faces sinking into an unnatural gloom.
His momentum rose higher and higher. Li Chang's entire body was enveloped by demonic Qi, and the intricate blood-red patterns along the black blade of the Demonic Blood-Shedding Saber began to emit a bizarre, enchanting glow.
The two walked and stopped intermittently, strolling leisurely into the market. Once they vanished from their line of sight, their movements could only be monitored through the surveillance devices mounted on their helmets.
The corpse of such a colossal demonic beast possessed a massive, boundless amount of vital essence. It would not be something the Demon-Slaying Saber could completely absorb in a short span of time.
It was not that the four sect masters particularly enjoyed putting on airs or flaunting their authority; rather, their spiritual essence was already potent enough to cause severe tremors in any given region. This lotus-like manifestation was simply a method of self-control for them.
No wonder he was so shocked. Over the past decade, the greatest threat to the entire Qingyang Town had been the five peak Mortal-Shedding demonic beasts roaming its outskirts, keeping all the common folk in daily terror, fearing that one day the beasts would descend upon the city and devour everyone.
According to his understanding, after he spoke those words, Young Master Chu would undoubtedly gift him this wine-pouring beauty for his amusement. Since he had brought over twenty beauties this time, trading for just one beauty to play with was hardly asking too much, right?
This sword was simply too precious, lagging behind no ancient divine weapon, and perhaps even surpassing them. Since she and Hong Wu had discovered such a priceless treasure, would it be improper of her to keep it for herself?
Amidst the creaking and groaning of the rolling carriage wheels came a series of desolate, lingering songs. Unawares, Yuzi's carriage had arrived at the very center of the street.
From now on, once the opponent was on guard, it would be much harder to easily slaughter Golden Core experts as they had done before.
