Chapter 28: The Heiress

After two in the afternoon, the number of customers buying meals began to dwindle, and Wang Peng finally had a chance to rest.

He moved over a small stool and sat down, checking the tally marks in his cousin’s ledger.

He could not help widening his eyes. They had actually sold a hundred portions of fried rice, making a profit of sixty yuan?

Wang Peng was delighted and decided to celebrate that evening, but for a moment he could not think of how.

The rice had all been sold. Li Fang began packing up the stall, clearing away the lunch boxes the customers had discarded.

Li Mengjiao sat down beside Wang Peng. “This is your business. Do you want to run it while attending school?”

“Smart!” Wang Peng gave her a thumbs-up.

Li Mengjiao shook her head. “A person’s energy and time are limited. If you run a business, you’ll definitely neglect…”

Beitang Hao untied Yin Lanxin’s bathrobe. It seemed that, to Beitang Hao, Yin Lanxin’s body possessed an irresistible magic, leaving him unable to stop.

The night wind howled outside the window. There had still been slanting sunlight in the afternoon, yet in the blink of an eye the sky had changed completely. The world was unpredictable, and the booming sound pierced her thoughts again and again.

“Mother, Mother, what is wrong?” Yun Luo nearly laughed aloud when she heard that Hallro was dead. Only after seeing her mother collapse did she come to her senses and hurry over to support her.

“How could you bring me home? Even if you brought me home, how could you call everyone one by one to tell them?” Feifei was one thing—at worst, she would return home and endure a furious scolding from her. But what about Leo? How was she supposed to tell him that she had gotten involved with that Song Tianming fellow again?

Xiao Hun’s main purpose in coming this time was to learn more about jewelry and jewelry processing. Xinjiang was also a region rich in gemstones, and many precious gems came from there.

Cen Jinghong laughed delicately. After not seeing Ye Muyao for several days, she seemed to have grown thinner, though no one knew why.

Those words were not courteous in the slightest. Though she kept her head bowed, there was not the least hint of submission in them.

Consort Su and the Emperor stood very close to each other. Consort Su lowered her eyes and stared blankly at the splendid, noble floral patterns on the carpet.

As the laughter drew nearer, the Apricot Grove grew gloomier, as though night were descending and a sudden storm were about to break.

Leo seriously followed the director’s instructions, walking along the beach with professional ease. Although it was early winter, he had to create the feeling of midsummer, so his shoes had been tossed aside. Barefoot, he stepped comfortably across the sand, leaving one footprint after another.

Previously, because the late emperor’s consorts had been moved to other palaces and the empress dowager had refused to move, Yongzheng’s consorts had been unable to enter the palace for a long time.

A terrifying name flashed through their minds. The two of them retreated almost simultaneously, no longer daring to challenge Shen Feng.

While he was lost in thought, a spotted leopard came charging across the Gobi, emitting a low growl. Wherever the demon beast passed, it stirred up a twisting dragon of dust.

After all, the human race was far inferior to the other races in both physique and strength. At the Spirit-Entering Realm, the only thing humans could rely on was spiritual power. Without even possessing a Voidless Battle Soul, humans found it difficult to contend with the demon and barbarian races in terms of strength.

Once the formation had been arranged, the next step was to release the soul of the Crimson Flame Python and use it as the formation spirit.

Han Che had been sitting there for a full hour and a half. He had already seen two experts with two consecutive victories defeated by an elder of the Yuanwu Gang.

To acquire this pharmaceutical company, Yu Qian had spent a great deal of money and called in many favors before finally agreeing on a price and signing the contract with the other party.

Du Jiajing’s attention was entirely focused on Wu Qiaoyan, so she failed to notice Sikong Fengxuan entering behind her. She strode forward as though a breeze were beneath her feet, seized Wu Qiaoyan fiercely by the ear without a word, and scolded her harshly.

My entire arm has turned black, like charcoal. I am truly worried that the slightest movement will make it crumble into powder.

Nearby, Song Huaizhong sat on the sofa with a gray, exhausted face, staring at Song Anqi on the hospital bed. His expression held both anger and heartache.

At that moment, the two evil cultivators opposite them saw what Lin Hai had taken out. Although they could not make out exactly what it was, Lin Hai’s expression and the faint aura emanating from the object immediately made their faces change. They knew something was wrong.

“And another thing—could you stop calling me Sister Loli from now on? I have a name. My name is Siqiyu!” Sister Loli added unhappily.

“Human, I will undo the seal on your meridians. The two of us can join forces against him. What do you say?” The instant the attack was blocked, the fox demon’s voice entered Song Zheng’s ears.

The man lifted the tent flap and walked inside. The atmosphere within was extremely strange. Some people remained silent, lost in thought, while others cursed incessantly. Cang Tu glared angrily at the chiefs of the various tribes, his blade-sharp gaze sweeping across the eyes of everyone present.

“Fellow cultivators, you must have expended considerable spiritual energy coming all this way. Rest here for a while and restore the spiritual energy within your bodies.” Qing Xuan glanced at the cultivators beside him before speaking.

Meng Feifei was naturally delighted to hear Yang Fan say this, and she hugged him even more tightly.

Diga’s palm-light arrows bombarded the second-generation Gazort, which neither dodged nor evaded, yet they had no effect at all. Instead, they were absorbed.

With the two forces layered upon each other, terrifying power erupted. The electromagnetic force released in the counterattack after the electromagnetic mass broke free of its restraints was also taken into account. Three forces surged in the same direction, and the electromagnetic mass instantly moved far away from the capital.

How could he not know what Su Qin was thinking? But he truly had no intention of arranging any guests. Everyone involved in the entire concert was one of his own people.

This award was naturally presented every year as well, but it was rather special. There was no shortlist; only one work received the award directly, so he had not paid much attention to it at the time.

Relying on the flashlights of more than two million people and the sweeping searchlights, Lin Xingchen and the others were still so frightened by the bizarre celestial phenomenon that they drew a sharp breath.

What Leng Yueqing had described sounded extremely tempting, but carrying it out would be fatal. He would never try it.

Xiang Jinjun did not know why his preceptor suddenly wanted to send him away, but he did not dare disobey. He rose, saluted, and withdrew.

Li Tai froze, then turned to glance at Pang Yi. At just that moment, Pang Yi also turned his head and gave Li Tai a subtle look.

Chen Daomai had clearly not been this happy in a very long time. While his son had been in the Western Regions, he had remained constantly anxious, afraid that something might happen to him. Especially when news of the war in the Western Regions reached Chang’an, he had nearly taken his guards and gone there himself to rescue his son. Fortunately, the two Yan sisters had stopped him.

“Where have you come from, Immortal Fairy?” Qin Tian sensed hostility from her, but for the moment could not determine what was going on, so he asked calmly.

A deep, furious roar rang out, and a dragon’s cry shook the heavens. Vast dragon-light, infused with astonishing fluctuations, hurtled violently toward the Fallen Underworld Phoenix.

Ding! System notification: You have won the victory in the five-on-five competitive mode and received two gold tokens. You may exchange a certain number of gold tokens for the items you need at the exchange merchant.

“In the past, if you had claimed to be the inheritor of the Imperial True Dragon, my Situ family might have feared you somewhat. But now that it has been confirmed… you are nothing more than an impostor.” Situ Chou gave a grim smile. An ink-blue sword ray appeared in his palm, and he finally stopped holding back.

“Yes. What I wish to say is that my wife should already have been cleared of suspicion. The Ministry of Justice has no right to arrest her.” If Shen Nianyi had not been before the Emperor, he would have wished for a pair of wings to sprout instantly so that he could fly back to Sun Shining’s side.
