053. The Tycoon’s Sharp Tongue

"..."
Facing Su Qing's provocation, Lin Mi was just about to retort when the man beside her spoke first.

"What a nuisance! Are you a parasite living by the sea? Whether we have money or not, what does it have to do with you? We’re not asking you to pay, so why are you meddling? Do you feel the need to check everyone’s background here?

And another thing, please be mindful that this is a public place. Your voice is seriously affecting our bidding. If you’re so wealthy—"

"Ahem... Not bad, little girl!" Ye Xuan, though outwardly a bit embarrassed, calmly spread his arms.

If he were to tell Tao Guangming now, Tao Guangming might get angry and directly scold Section Chief Qi, which would ruin everything.

Above the heavens, in the imperial mausoleum beside the coffin, the giant brute ghost, originally composed purely of black mist, suddenly withdrew with a cold snort, its crimson eyes flashing as all the black energy converged into the body of the Lord of the Cult.

At the entrance of Qingyang Palace, Wei Shuyang watched as Xu Fengnian stepped down the stone steps, his face expressionless.

Last time, when they came to tear down the factory and damaged his wall, seeing Yang Minhui fall seriously ill and having learned his lesson, he chose to let it go.

But if, after reading all this history, she still couldn’t hold herself together and something happened, then she’d truly break.

There was no ethereal voice, no cute loli tone, but in the melody of despair, a trace of hope emerged, compelling one to want to approach the lighthouse.

No matter; all the encouragement and motivational words that should be given, Shen Fang had already offered plenty.

But she hadn’t expected these players to have already left the "Fortress of the Gods," advancing the story all the way to the "Northern Abyss."

Dinner was cheerful, but the result of returning home was overtime, working late into the night without knowing when it would end—collapsing into bed as soon as she returned.

Last night, Mu Chaoyang chatted with his father in the room, talking about Mu Caiyun, Mu Caihong, and even Mu Caihong’s child.

So Bai Li Shouyue placed his hand on Bai Li Xuance’s waist and found a spot to gently pinch.

I knew she was referring to Huo Mengyan. Truthfully, each of them possessed celestial beauty, but their temperaments were contrasting—one gentle, one fierce; their beauty was incomparable.

Yan Bei nodded, gestured for her to rise, refrained from any words of concern, and turned to leave the bedchamber.

In the blink of an eye, those fateful opportunities were gone; all that was real or illusory had become the past, and I would not have the chance again.

After confirming that everyone had left the air raid shelter, he no longer had any hope for the box. Even thinking with his feet, he knew this wasn’t the final circle’s box, but the very first one! How could the first circle’s box remain unlooted?

I could tell they were unwilling to speak further. They had chosen to slumber in the Tomb of the Living Dead for a slim chance at survival; it was certainly not a simple endeavor—there must be deeper motives.

This scene, falling into the eyes of all present, struck them like thunder from the heavens. Eyes wide, mouths agape, they were dumbstruck and deeply shaken, unable to speak for a long time.

Shi Jie was still eating sweet potatoes. He had noticed the situation, but made no move, as if Mo Yixi’s attack was beneath his notice.

"Envoy Ashina Mo, are you satisfied with our hospitality?" Wang Wei tried to break the ice, for since the envoy’s arrival, they hadn’t interacted, and asking such a personal question required a humble approach.

"You protect the one in red, I’ll handle these people," Tang Qi stepped in front of Dongfang, Kunwu Blade in hand, his energy surging. He’d recently gained new insight into the Five Elements’ attacks and was eager to test them out.

Outside Liangdu City, in the boundless wilds, clouds of dust rose as the thunderous sound of hooves drew near—a cavalry unit was charging straight toward Liangdu City.
