Chapter 39: Too Accustomed to the Finer Things

Deling bustled about for a while, preparing a few home-cooked dishes. Just as she set the food on the table, the doorbell rang.

Lin Shanni entered, holding a bottle of wine. "It smells delicious! You really have a knack for cooking."

Deling handed her a pair of slippers and glanced at the bottle in her arms. "I don't drink, so this whole bottle is all yours."

"Easy enough..."

Lu Yaoyuan was still preoccupied with why Chu Ci had come today, and she didn't even notice as she squeezed past her.

Hearing the title "General" and seeing the panicked expressions of the people outside the window, Qiao Fei’s heart suddenly leaped to her throat. Could something have happened to Zhou Linyao?

Don't two people in love usually prefer to be alone, without the intrusion of a third party? Why, then, did Jun Puyu insist that Ai Suiyi accompany Ai Suixin to the hospital?

Because Chi Huo’s cultivation level was truly too low. Although he practiced both profound energy and physical arts, he was merely at the Yuanyin Realm, comparable to the mediocre disciples within their own family.

Only Li Jihong had ever seen the man surnamed Lu. If she wasn't lying, it must have been a man. That means the buyer who traded for your and your sister’s lives is a man. Don't worry, no matter what, I will continue to investigate.

Upon learning that Bai Tang had been assassinated, the Duke of Rong immediately tightened the defenses within the estate. To him, Bai Tang’s life was now synonymous with Mu Shaochen’s; anyone else could afford to be harmed, but she absolutely could not.

Chi Huo entered the Chaos Space. Following the method previously taught to him by Wu the Mad, he flipped his palm once more, and the five-colored profound energy instantly reappeared in his hand.

"The clinical data from the pharmaceutical research and development—if the data supports the efficacy of the drug, I will never ask about this again, nor will I ever doubt you. Our wedding today will proceed as scheduled. But if you have deceived me, then this wedding never happened." As An Chujian spoke, she picked up her younger sister and turned to leave.

There were also chicken wings, cartilage, beef tendons, pork crisps, squid tentacles, bacon rolls, and many other large skewers of meat.

The address written on the note given by Li Xuewen was Dayang Village in Qinghe County, but she had searched everywhere, and even the electronic map did not show such a place.

Lu Ming wondered, what method could possibly awaken the other person? The system had warned him not to use external means, but rather to use his own emotions to influence them. How was he supposed to do that? The system was clearly making things difficult for him.

The person who snatched the money from the middle-aged man was a former Anbu operative brought by Minato Namikaze. Seeing the man and Minato looking at him with confusion, the ninja began to explain.

"Hardly impressive. As the Lord of Mozhou, if I didn't have some strength, how could I have conquered the Frost Giants?" Jiang Feng sneered, pulling back a fishing hook from the shore.

Lv Han hadn't expected that a sudden sneeze would attract three exotic beasts. He felt deep regret, but it was already too late.

Being surrounded like this was entirely due to the Empire abandoning them. For half a year, the grain and provisions provided had been insufficient, and their weapons and supplies had not been updated in a long time.

"Those merchants... are a constant threat. Their hearts are like vipers; once warmed, they will surely strike," Prince Cheng said indifferently.

Xu Yingnian stepped out of the confinement room. The guards at the door bowed their heads in salute as he passed, and Zhou Liangyu was already waiting for him outside.

A scream pierced the air, and the two thugs were silenced. At that moment, a fox with a tail adorned with skulls emerged, leaning on a cane.

Teacher Qin was absolutely right. Contemporary martial artists often covet high-level techniques, looking down on those with less power and failing to even practice them properly.

Lu Ming checked the bodies and was delighted to discover that these people were carrying over a hundred second-grade beast cores.
