Chapter Sixty: New Cotton

The items displayed on the stall were very simple: teeth of the alpine white ape, priced at 1 copper coin each; teeth of the alpine black ape, also priced at 1 copper coin each.

"What do you think? This is black refined iron, dozens of times purer than your materials, and more than a dozen times harder. Is my craftsmanship alright?" With that, she gave a proud, self-satisfied chuckle and stroked the hair at her temples.

Murong Chen offered an amused smile, deciding not to tease her any further, and recounted the entire matter to her from beginning to end.

Yanmen Pass, also known as Xijing Pass, stands first among the nine great strategic passes under heaven. As a crucial fortification of the Great Wall, Yanmen Pass, together with Ningwu Pass and Pian Pass, is collectively known as the "Outer Three Passes." Leaning northward against the Yanbei Plateau and shielding the Xinding Basin to the south, it has been the vital throat for guarding the borderlands through successive dynasties.

The liveliness of the day had entirely subsided into stillness by this hour. Outside the window came the howling of the wind, while in the second-floor corridor, faint lamplight flickered. The night was exceptionally quiet, so serene that even the sound of a needle dropping could be clearly heard.

Zhaolu was momentarily dazed, only to suddenly realize what this scoundrel had just said. Her face instantly darkened as she delivered a sharp rap to his head with her knuckles. Expecting that his martial arts had been crippled and he would be easy to hit, she was stunned to find herself striking empty air without touching even a single hair, utterly shocked by Jun Wuye’s extraordinary agility.

Earlier, Letian had consumed too much stamina in order to pierce through the barrier, and then unleashed the fusion of the Three Thousand Divine Swords during the battle with the vines. Although the power was peerless, it left his already exhausted body even weaker.

Meanwhile, Tang Zixuan and An Shaohua behind them seemed to have also glimpsed their hidden cards; they curved the corners of their lips but remained silent.

"Alright, no problem." Since hitting anything was a question for him anyway, he might as well do a favor and agree to her first, Gu Ting thought to himself.

"Sigh..." Tongran let out a deep sigh, mourning his own tragic destiny a few days later.

At this moment, a crowd of cultists from the Rainbow Demon Sect were all prostrating themselves devoutly on the ground, forming a circle as if in reverent worship of something in their midst.

"Isn't that Prince Heng?" A sharp-eyed guard spotted the man in magnificent blue robes who had just kicked open the front gate and was striding inside.

What was so remarkable about Situ Jingheng anyway? In any case, no matter what, she could no longer remember the past. The present Su Weiliang was no longer the former Su Weiliang, and Situ Jingheng no longer wished to see her. Furthermore, he had even found a substitute.

Before his words had fully faded, a gust of violent wind seemed to sweep past his face as Liuxing brushed right past his shoulder. And the ball he had been holding in his arms was somehow snatched away by Liuxing before he even noticed.

At this moment, at the foot of Phoenix Mountain in Jinling City, stood a massive villa. Behind the villa lay the lush and verdant Phoenix Mountain, while in front of it stretched the tranquil Phoenix Lake.

"Hello, is this Lanlan?" The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered. After the connection was established, no one spoke. A sudden sense of foreboding welled up in Ye Qing's heart, prompting her to test the waters with a tentative question.

Gaogang rushed into his home with the Heavenly Dog and a dozen or so fierce-looking fellows trailing closely behind.

Though she managed to evade Dong Jian's mouth, Dong Jian began kissing the delicate white skin of Bai Rou's neck.

As the saying goes, every festive occasion deepens one's longing for family. Today was a day of reunion, and Long Daoling, an orphan, could not help but wear a trace of sorrow on his face. He promptly took out his phone, called his aunt far away in his hometown to send his festive blessings, and then also sent a text message to You Rou.

An ugly head was seen acting like a frightened bird, desperately trying to flee the area, only to be struck with terror as a sword beam flashed like lightning, instantly obliterating the head along with its soul's origin.

Chen De's house did not have many rooms, and almost all of them were piled high with timber. The courtyard was the same; fearing that the wood would get wet, they were covered with thick layers of straw.

After reaching the top of the cliff, I saw that the bovine injury medicine Shen Mengyao had thrown up earlier was still there. I hurriedly picked it up and stored it away like a precious treasure.

And Tang Yu, due to overly relying on this assistance arranged by his father, completely forgot that the place he was in was a battlefield rife with hidden dangers. For this, he paid the price with his life.

Yet there was still one final contradiction within this: if the parasitic fetus had been extracted from the belly of Old Master's younger sister at that time, why was her stomach still so large?

Many of these people were desperate criminals. For the reward of one hundred thousand, they were willing to risk their lives. Upon suddenly arriving at the North City Gate, these individuals stirred up quite a bit of trouble. Some even attempted to break into the garrison's camp to conduct searches, suddenly plunging the already heavily guarded North City Gate into chaos.

Little did I expect that this dinner party would mark the beginning of a terrifying and bizarre ordeal to come. Had I known at the time that things would develop in that manner, I would never have agreed to attend this dinner no matter what.

Hearing the commotion, I immediately crowded around, lowering my head and calling out Feng Tiansong's name over and over again.

After eating it, I felt as though half of my curse had been lifted. While eating, the Medicine Ghost Sovereign chuckled lewdly and transmitted his voice to me, telling me to order more of the dish in front of me.

Zheng Hao shook his head helplessly. He had originally intended to launch a sneak attack while Mephisto and Johnny were both exhausted from fighting, but he hadn't expected Johnny to be so impatient. Landing on the ground, Mephisto's expression instantly turned extremely grim as he discovered that he couldn't sense Zheng Hao's presence at all, which indicated that Zheng Hao's strength far surpassed his own.

He needed to touch base with Mimi first to avoid letting slip any secrets later... Yu Manman took out her phone, opened WeChat, and began sending messages to Yang Mimi.

Just at that moment, the thirty tasks published by Linye were all instantly marked as failed tasks, and all the bounties Linye had paid were refunded to his account, and even... a twenty percent penalty for breach of contract was refunded for every single task.
