Chapter 19: Ashamed to Face My Old Mentor

Having grown up in the Su family, even breakfast was always Western-style. In their eyes, such classical charm was nothing more than dross. Suddenly arriving at a traditional garden that one usually only sees on television, the little girl felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, finding wonder in everything she saw. Chen Xing watched his daughter jumping about, touching this and poking that, smiling silently.

Sitting in a cafe not far from the Empire State Building, Blake listened to Su Mu explain the sequence of events, his tone dissatisfied: "It seems you really have nothing better to do. With this much money, you’d be better off buying a plot of land in Santa Clara or Fremont to build offices and factories."

Li Yan felt a sharp pain in his temples. This kind of mental shock was enough to make an ordinary person bleed from their seven orifices and die.

Beast King Manor is located in the southwestern part of China, deep within the mountains and ridges. The manor lord is a tiger demon with power comparable to the peak of a Grandmaster.

She truly never imagined that things would develop this way. She had absolute confidence in Xiao Ziting’s carving skills, and it was because of that belief that she had recommended this shop while they were in the car.

Bai Zhixian’s gaze suddenly sharpened. He dared to assert that this place was exactly the scene he had encountered in his dreams. The chilling temperature here was the polar opposite of the outside world; this was a place of great misfortune.

The investment amount was so large that Su Mu did not have much liquid capital left. He was trying every way to slowly pay off the bank loans. Because his assets far exceeded his liabilities, the bank was happy to provide him with flexible service.

How could that be? His winter seal was complete nonsense; all it depicted was white snow—after all, isn't winter supposed to be blanketed in white snow?

Her method was relatively gentle; she simply wanted to use public opinion to pressure the advisory group, thereby limiting Danzo Shimura’s power and dissolving the Root.

Of course, there were also the unlucky ones who were attacked by the green vines, their flesh and blood completely absorbed until only a skeleton remained.

On the tracks, the chimney billowed with thick black smoke as a red-skinned train rumbled past like a long dragon. Two groups of people scrambled back in panic, watching helplessly as the faces of their rivals were obscured by the passing train cars.

In fact, this strategy appeared to be in the interest of Tree County on the surface, but in reality, it was nothing more than a stalling tactic.

Yuntian had brought only his most trusted guards with him; everyone wore a solemn expression, still shaken by what they had experienced.

Li Yanyang felt something was wrong. Had the message not been transmitted? Or had they not seen the formation yet?

There is a specific threshold for dispersing spiritual power without harming the body. For instance, regarding the lungs Ye Zheng mentioned, using a late-stage F-rank force would disperse the spiritual power covering his lungs, but using peak F-rank force would not harm him—it would only cause him more suffering.

Guman Zhu understood this ability once she knew the formula; it was the most precious and core set of genes for a super soldier: the Tyrannosaurus Rex gene.

These butterflies were few at first, but in an instant, tens of thousands of colorful butterflies had gathered.

In the end, as the meteors dissipated and petals filled the sky, the collision of their ultimate killing moves transformed into a romantic spring masterpiece, immediately prompting the entire audience to stand and cheer.

The finger of blame immediately pointed at Xia Yuan. Song Yihong had failed to hire a killer and was instead counter-killed by Xia Yuan.

Yang Hao saw that the intruders were not spirit beasts, but figures draped in black robes with a giant skull painted on the back. It seemed the true mastermind could no longer hold back.

Fan gave a cold snort and tossed over his business card; Teddy and the others also arrogantly threw their cards over.

"Who are you, where do you come from, and what are you doing in Icathia?" the soldiers on the fortifications shouted.

After Zhou Chu finished speaking, the reporters’ camera flashes went off incessantly. At this moment, Zhou Chu’s expression was sincere and his tone resonant. He did not look like a leader whose company was in deep trouble, but rather like a victor.

"Madam, you’re awake! I’ll go call Master Wang to come and take a look at you." Seeing the mistress wake up, the maid ran out in excitement.

Although the Eighth Prince’s voice was mellow and his face still wore a gentle smile, the look in his eyes as he watched Leng Yu held a predatory glint that made one’s heart tremble. Yet, at this moment, Leng Yu was savoring this bloodthirsty gaze. Finally... was it time to face it head-on?

"This servant greets the Crown Princess!" To show respect, Mu Ximei knelt properly on one knee and said loudly.

Bi Ru, following Mu Ximei’s lead, gave a haughty hum, which completely amused Mu Ximei, making her clutch her stomach in laughter until she couldn't get up.

After a few days of recovery, Monkey and Gu Yi had been moved to a general ward, and their speech had become fluent. Being a man, Yang Le Fan didn't know how to care for patients, so he was grateful to Yue Yue, who arrived punctually every day with food she had prepared herself.

Mu Ximei looked at Li De with gratitude, and after Li De gave her a look that said "take care of yourself," he turned and left.

Mu Zihan asked Shi Kexi to negotiate with Pei Junhao to use this plot of land to trade for the land in the western suburbs that Pei Junhao held, forcing him to sell the western suburb land to the Muchu Group.

Cui Mei nodded and left immediately. In truth, Mu Ximei hadn't wanted to drink porridge at all; it was just an excuse to send Cui Mei away.

Since it didn't involve anything they were forbidden to speak of, and it could also cause trouble for the Church, they naturally saw no need to hide anything.

Being teased like this made her too embarrassed and angry. Her face burned, and she glared at him with dark eyes, gritting her teeth as she squeezed out a few words.

One by one, Tang Xuanyun pressed him hard, making Tang Yaozu’s face pale. After all, he hadn't thought much of it at the time; as long as it was what his mother said, he obeyed unconditionally.

The dog lying on the floor tried to scramble up in terror, but its paws slipped. Finally, after getting up, it dashed behind the sofa with incredible speed.

"You heard it too. I am a Fifth-Rank Supervisor; I can decide my own marriage, and I have long since promised myself to another."

Mei Qingwan felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. A strong sense of weightlessness instantly shattered her remaining psychological defenses.

Feng Shaotan had long despised his aloof second brother, but hindered by his official rank and the fact that the entire Dingbei Marquis Mansion relied on him, he lowered his tone slightly.

The crowd felt a chill run through them, instinctively looking around to find the positions of those snipers, but to no avail.

As pieces of charred remains fell, the people outside the light screen saw what looked like a legendary mosaic, causing them to sigh at the screen.

Lan Yin pursed her lips and smiled. Being with the infamous Gu Yunzhan allowed her to experience a whole new life. It held a kind of magic for her—good or bad, she had never been this happy or felt this alive before. This man, whom everyone saw as a demon, had made her willing to give her life without regret.

It’s better to be lazy when you can. Pirate, that fellow, obediently flew to the co-pilot seat and crouched down. Having followed his boss Zhou Quan, this guy had picked up all sorts of bad habits. He was now covered in fat and looked noticeably rounder than the other ospreys—a classic case of overnutrition.
