Chapter 23: Beyond Endurance, No Need to Tolerate Further

"Brother Yu, I have come to collect the medicinal herbs!"

Previously, whenever Hua Changxi arrived, Yu Gui would at least offer a familiar, if not smiling, response. Today, however, Yu Gui merely glanced at her indifferently, gestured casually for a male attendant to take her to collect the herbs, and then ignored her entirely.

"What are you dawdling for? Follow me."

Seeing Hua Changxi standing still as she watched Yu Gui, the male attendant urged her impatiently.

Thinking of the benefits this would bring, Xuan Yuan Chen would likely wake up smiling; it was an absolute steal.

Consequently, both Qin Tian and Hu Chenglin registered for the large house. Jiang Momo and Qin Tian requested the fourth floor, while Hu Chenglin took the second; both families were in the same building.

Wu Yani cast a hateful look at Jiang Momo and snatched the iron box to count its contents, though she kept her back turned to everyone.

"What is happening? Is it not over yet?" Shi Wuchen frowned, activating his Heavenly Eye to survey the surroundings.

Jiang Momo whispered to her two sons for a long time, comforting them, and before long, the two went off to play.

"Brothers, listen to the Master's instructions! Drop to the ground immediately!" Roka shouted without looking back. Disregarding whether such a rapid maneuver might cause injury, he took the lead and lunged toward Chen Chen.

The venue for the dinner was chosen at the Green Source Hotel, naturally arranged by Shi Wuchen; it was convenient to handle matters on one's own turf.

Facing these accusations, Huo Simeng remained expressionless, but when she turned to Huo Jun, her eyes welled up with tears.

Yet she understood well that nothing in this world is absolute; often, the things one is most certain of are the ones most likely to take a contrary turn.

Hearing this voice, Wang Shiyun looked as if she had spotted a disobedient child. With reddened eyes, she pulled Wang Tenglong directly into the room.

"I have given you a chance today. Do not blame me for being heartless as a mother in the future. You may all leave," the Old Madam said coldly.

Lu Hongming let out an angry snort. A surge of potent profound energy enveloped his right palm, and he struck Xiao Yanyang hard across the face.

"Boss, I have another proposal." After everyone else had left the courtyard, Ying Tianrui remained behind and spoke to Aotian.

In paradise, life that should not exist there had appeared, yet it was destined to depart.

At the aerial management base, the council representative had already grown impatient. To ensure the success of the capture, the representative had specifically requisitioned eight heavily armed special police officers to assist in the operation. Upon receiving the location signal, they boarded an aerospace craft, engaged the engines, and initiated the landing sequence.

If the Soul Profound Elder possessed a soul-martial art capable of searching human memories, that would be perfectly normal. And if Aotian had inherited the legacy of the Soul Profound Elder, did that not mean Aotian also possessed that same soul-martial art?

Hundreds of nutrient vials would be enough to push Ling Ke's energy field to the seventh level, or perhaps even raise his sensory perception to the eighth. This was fate; it simply meant those things were never meant for you, Leviathan consoled Ling Ke.

Tang Mei waved her hand and laughed, "I certainly wouldn't be able to taste the difference." She took a sip and felt a slight sense of surprise.

A few days later, Steward Wang sent word that the tea for the new branch had begun to arrive and invited Tang Mei to take a look when she had time. Treating it as an outing, she stepped out.

"This insect is called 'Guaizai.' Once it latches onto you, it will not stop until it achieves its goal," Bai Gaoxing said.

Yes, that must be it. He was merely testing her to see how much she truly loved him.

Not long after, she returned with her army, announcing to the public that they had encountered a large horde of zombies and suffered heavy casualties during the fierce battle, including the deaths of several internal officers. What followed was an internal election to fill the vacant positions.

The pressure exerted by this Qilin was too great; it wounded his body again and again, and he was repeatedly knocked back.
