Chapter 47: The Wild Dog

“Hmph!” Wang Dong snorted coldly, but the village chief pressed him back onto his seat.

He still found it somewhat uncomfortable to sit at the same table as She Yuqi. After all, She Yuqi’s first impression on him was that she was eccentric and fragile, often angry and coughing up blood.

If such a girl were his daughter, he would surely lose his mind!

She was not at all steady; she would never amount to anything in the future.

Along the way, both harbored their own thoughts, yet their actions seemed remarkably synchronized, as if bound by a long-standing tacit understanding.

Watching the slightly strange smile on Xu Yang’s face, the man opened his mouth twice but still did not make the next bid. Boss Sun stood there stunned. Originally, he thought this ancient zither would fetch at least ten million, perhaps fifteen million, or even twenty million. After all, it was a genuine heirloom zither.

The three senior officials rose to see the commander off, but upon returning, they found Luo Yunzi still with eyes tightly shut, completely calm and unhurried.

Initially, the nurse asked him to look at the child; he merely glanced once and then lost interest altogether.

When Hym sent word claiming that the Duke of Glassburg would join the allied forces, he thought only troops would be sent, never imagining the duke himself would appear in person.

The director was, of course, aware of the Hua family’s intentions, but since they acted under the pretense of protecting the Hua Chain, it was difficult to refuse outright. So, he agreed to their demands.

Even a tiger does not eat its own cubs, yet the thunder beast was born tearing its kin apart—such cruelty was truly horrifying. Looking at Yaya, Lu Tianyu finally understood why the thunder beasts were on the brink of extinction.

It must be said, the Adventurers’ Association, though a group formed by some for profit, nonetheless provided tremendous aid to this world.

Naturally, the first aggressor must pay a price: they must enter into a treaty of mutual defense and offense with the attacked party. If the latter encounters trouble in the future, the former must unconditionally come to their aid.

“Princess, princess, something’s wrong!” The butler hurried in from the gate, face full of helplessness.

The Quetzalcoatlus, drained of strength, watched helplessly as Heraklos charged forward. A bitter smile curled its lips before the world spun and everything faded from its senses.

Zekin remained expressionless and asked, “May I act alone?” His question sounded both like an inquiry and a plea.

The cross-shaped blade swiftly advanced along its cutting path, targeting Hattori Hanzo, who had just been pierced through by Zhengzong! Miyamoto’s sixth sense warned him that the latter would not be defeated so easily.

“Oh? Strange, very strange.” Liansheng sat silently on the ground, deep in thought. Soon, Honghuan and the others arrived. Seeing the once pristine canal turned to yellow sand, their spirits sank and hope waned.

Before the Black Matron stood a multicolored, lightning-shaped sphere, an ancient copper talisman tightly sealed above it. With a wave of her hand, a column of black smoke shot forth, swiftly engulfing the sphere. The copper talisman rang out like a bell, and from the lightning emerged a figure whose face was identical to Liansheng’s.

However, at this moment, Lingxu held a massive dragon pearl in his hand. The Purple Lightning Divine Sword struck heavily, instantly cracking the surface of the pearl.

“Prince, rest assured. Although I cannot yet fully control my power at will, I will never take their lives,” Li Qingshan said with slight nervousness as he faced Yang Rudan alone.

“Alas, I hope they return safely!” Naturally, Tan Zhenqi disapproved of Ye Feng’s journey. After all, the Tianshui River Cave Heaven ruins were about to open, and this expedition would surely cause considerable disturbance.
