Chapter 26: Vying to Win Him Over

Tang Yan understood Zhao Chen's desire for revenge, but General Dantu was not someone to be trifled with. If things went that far, both sides would inevitably end up in a fight to the death. This also meant that Zhao Chen would no longer be able to engage in the jade trade, which would be a massive loss for her as well.

Zhao Chen’s face revealed a touch of madness and ruthlessness as he sneered, "Tell General Dantu for me: if there is no sincerity for negotiation, then there is no need to talk. I will never compromise."

"It hasn't reached that point yet. Brother Zhao, please calm down. Why don't we discuss this further?" Tang Yan tried to persuade him again. "General Dantu was just desperate to save someone and spoke in anger. As long as you don't harm Sister Wenmin, I guarantee you won't..."

Hua Yueman gritted her teeth, thinking, "I owe him anyway, so what’s one more favor?" Seeing his long, curled eyelashes lower gently, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Mo Jiuli had not finished speaking when she saw Baby, the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, and Qiuqiu tumble out. They had truly fallen out; Baby managed to turn over the moment she hit the ground, ending up sitting there.

Under normal circumstances, Physician Song would have reported any matter directly, but today he chose to seek out Shanyu first, which clearly showed that he felt this matter could not be made public.

Guo Ziqiang knew that continuing like this would lead to certain defeat, so he let out a roar, his internal energy surging rapidly as it began to gather in his right fist.

Gazing at the star-studded sky, I suddenly missed Lin Jingshen. I wonder what he is doing right now? I imagine he must be very happy. With so many people surrounding him, why would he ever think of me? Perhaps I was mistaken, but I invited everyone to take their seats, while Lin Jingshen continued to discuss the whirlwind project with Jiang Tingdong.

Then, Mufan added the essence of the Longevity Fruit to the medicinal liquid. The essence contained rich energy, and while there were fluctuations during the fusion process, it did not cause any dire consequences.

"Help me undress," Lin Jingshen said, not responding to my thoughts but instead gripping my hands and placing them on his waist.

With a clang, Byakuya held two pink lightsabers, blocking the suddenly appearing Zangetsu. Looking at Mo Ren, who was right in front of him, a mocking smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Mufan instinctively looked at the Golden-Crowned Thunder Eagle’s head, only to see that the top of its head was a brilliant golden color, adorned with a lightning bolt symbol.

"I might not be skilled in other genres, but no one understands this show better than I do," Lin Tian said with a smile.

Meng Ze changed back into his usual clothes and rinsed his hair under the tap; he looked quite refreshed. Given the speed at which internet trends shift, plus the fact that Lin Tian hadn't appeared in public for days, his popularity should have been declining.

Everyone had been chatting here for a long time, but if one really scrutinized it, there didn't seem to be any key clues. Especially since using a honey trap on this scoundrel was essentially walking right into the trap! There was no other outcome than being devoured by him completely.

Several people looked up to see Zhou Man, her eyes filled with malice; no one knew when she had arrived.

"Alright, it's noon. Let's all have lunch together," Master Shang invited. Everyone hurried to rise, and Ruan Wanwan naturally followed Shang Shaoyan to sit near Master Shang. Of course, he was very confident; Ruan Wanwan hadn't found a business partner yet, wasn't she just waiting for him?

"Even if I wanted to snatch it, I wouldn't do it in such a barbaric way. Please rest assured, Aunt Fen," Han Yangting said sincerely. He still had a few military advisors under his command, but after one had died previously, the remaining three were now afraid to speak.

Wu Guowei followed Lin Dongxian’s gaze and, sure enough, saw many scraps of paper on the floor. Infuriated, he couldn't help but clench his fists until they creaked. This Lin Dongxian was simply going too far. He had indeed contemplated killing the annoying woman in front of him, but if she were dead, he would never get the formula for the snake venom.

Zhang Yu vanished into mid-air with a flash. Just as he dodged, the ghost face swallowed his previous position with unstoppable force. Zhang Yu reappeared hundreds of feet away, panting slightly. In just a short time, one-fifth of his Dantian energy had been depleted, a statistic that made him frown deeply.

Xi Yan wrapped the space talisman around her wrist and muttered a few incantations, causing the talisman to cling to her skin like a tattoo.

"Different teas require different teaware to brew them in order to maximize their flavor," Liu Haohao said unhurriedly, her hands moving nimbly and elegantly as she brewed the tea.

"Carl, what you mean is: Annie didn't rely on the help of others to make Du Couteau submit? Of course, there was certainly some assistance, that is unquestionable. But in your words, that doesn't seem to be the point?"

"Heh heh, if you want to drink, just say so. Don't look for such a lame excuse!" Old Beggar Qiu Tianjue saw the twitch at the corner of his mouth and knew the craving for alcohol had taken hold of his brain.

The large fish that had entered the dark river circled in the water as if searching for something, and it was a long time before it disappeared into the depths of the river. "It finally left!" Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that Liu Haohao was the Vice Mayor and had a voice in H City, she brought up the old matter again. Because of her persistent attitude, the city began to take it seriously. To be cautious, Liu Haohao first invited experts from Jing University to conduct a preliminary assessment. With a report from authoritative experts, it would be easier to persuade others.

Seeing that they hadn't left in the middle of the night and noticing they were all drunk, Mother Wang of the Yan Hua Garden worried that something might happen if they went home late at night, and the Yan Hua Garden couldn't afford the trouble. So, she had them carried to the guest rooms in the backyard to sleep, intending to charge them for it the next morning.

Don't ask why they didn't resist; when everyone around you bullies you in unison, there is truly nowhere to turn—you have no one to appeal to, nowhere to go, and nowhere to hide. Nothing but death.

"It's fine. Is there something Lawyer Cheng wanted to see me about?" Jiang Si felt she couldn't accept this meal for nothing and decided it was better to ask clearly.

Shen Tianyi had video guidance from a skilled master chef throughout the entire process. She wasn't unintelligent, and she performed better than many people who were cooking for the first time.
