Chapter 47: Surely We Can't Let a Housekeeper Turn the Household Upside Down

The next day, Jiang Mi allowed herself a rare sleep-in, getting up at nearly nine o'clock. The sunlight was just right, and as she changed her clothes and walked downstairs, she was instantly taken aback.

Because a young girl was busy bustling about, holding flowers and arranging them in a vase. Upon seeing Jiang Mi, the girl looked somewhat flustered, her face blushing as she gazed at her.

Jiang Mi had no idea who she was, nor did she know how to greet her, having heard nothing about any young female relatives of the Wen family coming to visit.

...

Presumably, in Empress Meng's mind, modern people possessed thoughts, horizons, and concepts far more advanced than those of the ancients. Believing that a time-traveling Empress could bring prosperity to the common people, she had established such a bizarre rule.

"You... how have I been disrespectful to you? When you were bullied, I thought about standing up for you. And yet you... you are truly unreasonable!" Jiang Zhongtian turned his head away huffingly, throwing a young master's tantrum.

"Hey, hey!" Seeing Canghai's hand reaching toward the steamed bun, Shi Wei raised her hand to stop Canghai's movement.

Accompanied by the distinctive sound of the aged wooden door, Burton poked out half his head and quickly scanned the surroundings. Seeing that there truly seemed to be no one around, he finally felt at ease, walked out the door, and picked up the dinner contained in the wooden box.

Thinking everything would go smoothly, she never expected to run into Huo Hengling downstairs. Now she was in trouble.

High risk, high reward. That phrase was indeed true. Although the lightning marten was much harder to kill than a wild boar and far more dangerous, the experience points it provided were simply amazing. At this rate of experience gain, without even needing to kill ten of them, he would be able to level up once again.

"The human race has launched an attack?" After all, during this period, news of the human race continuously recapturing lost territory had left everyone in the city on edge, so at the slightest commotion, their minds immediately jumped to that possibility.

With those words, he buried his face deeply into Consort Li's chest, greedily drinking the fine wine that flowed down the valley.

Emperor Shengde frowned and drank down the bitter medicinal soup. Ever since he learned that the second prince had made a move against his nephew, causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood, his health had been deteriorating day by day. For the sake of the state and the dynasty, his body could not afford to collapse.

With half her face swollen, Li Suying stared in a daze at Zhang Yu standing before her. Liu Yiyi, who had been preparing to take her own life, was equally stunned.

"What are you saying? I don't understand a single word." Tony struggled to shift his position, but the injuries beneath the trail of footprints made every movement an agony of unbearable pain.

Hearing Nero's words, the few surviving people over there felt a slight stir of emotion. In such a dangerous situation, there were actually people willing to sacrifice themselves to save others.

"Gods-bless-us Great God, could you talk about your purpose in joining Glory Star?" The host asked after Ye Chen finished introducing himself.

"Oh, right, Sister Jiaojia asked me to check if your team has any practice matches scheduled. She wants me to arrange a practice match with you!" Ye Xin suddenly asked.

The question of why he wouldn't suffocate was practically a joke. Once Nero took on a spiritual form, the concept of breathing probably didn't even exist anymore, right?

"Confirmed. Let's move. If we hesitate any longer, their group will be wiped out!" Lu Chen didn't hesitate in the slightest. He leaped straight out of the bushes, initiated the engagement directly, and shattered the formation of the two clustered teams.

There wasn't much to tidy up in the cave dwelling either; Mao Rui simply placed some daily necessities inside, planted and decorated it with flowers and vegetation scavenged from the valley, and set up two sets of high-grade arrays before finishing the job.

They had always adored Ye Yu, but seeing Ye Yu being harassed at this moment, they didn't even dare to open their mouths to plead for mercy.

"I know. You want to see the Master so badly because you tasted the sweetness last time and want to wait for an opportunity to place another bet and make a massive fortune. Am I right?" Yingying mocked with a laugh.

A passerby shook his head and said, "Ain't that the truth? That damned wretch actually showed disrespect to the God of Light!" With that, he shook his head and walked away.

Before the battle had even begun, several Supremes had already fallen. Now, only he, together with Xingtian, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and Xuanwuan Bupo—fifteen people in all—remained.

Not long after, the group parted ways, as the Princess's Mansion had arranged a separate residence for each of them.
