Volume 1, Chapter 23: The Old Man Who Loves to Drive Up the Price

"Meat? What kind of meat?"
If it was that fishy, bitter meat from just a moment ago, she didn't want any of it.
"Well, things that fly in the sky, run on the ground, or swim in the water... which would you like? Just tell me, and I'll go catch it for you."
As Lu Qingyu spoke, he noticed little Yuyu's eyes widening, sparkling as she stared at him.
As a family spanning a thousand years, if they lacked even this much composure, the Zhang family would have long since been picked clean by the emperors of history.
Therefore, this city also harbored many heinous cultivators who were hiding in Dragon City to escape their enemies; naturally, these individuals were highly likely to become a faction under the Dragon family.
The steel plate protecting the cockpit—the one that kept the human form from falling out—didn't look like it had fallen off on its own, nor did it look like it had been dismantled from the inside. It... it looked as if someone had pried it open from the outside.
Yet, there was something strange here: Xu Wuyou looked exactly the same as before, with no discernible change whatsoever. What could be the reason for this?
The pitch-black battle armor, at the Henggong level, hoisted the giant ax-shaped cosmic relic to meet the swirling star map. Each collision caused his entire body to tremble violently and cough up blood, weakening his momentum, yet he continued to shatter the layers of vortex seals with unstoppable force.
He was now a man of some standing; if the young lady really went to the banquet dressed like this and revealed even a hint of her martial fanaticism, finding a partner in the future would become even more difficult.
"Mengxue, contact Lin Ying'er. I need to confirm some things with her." Upon returning to Guangzhou, Li Fangcheng immediately set about making a series of arrangements.
Between waking and sleeping, Jian He felt as if a giant boulder were pressing down on her chest, making it extremely difficult to breathe. Her heart beat faintly, "thump-thump, thump-thump."
Ye Tian employed the Frozen Afterimage Fist to dodge the attack. Moshi shattered one afterimage with a punch and then chased after another.
However, no matter how poor the conditions were, there was no room to be picky. Past this point lay a boundless desert, and the legendary Tong Pass stood behind one of those sand dunes.
Seeing Lin Dongmei's expression, everyone felt that nothing good was coming, so they all kept quiet.
"Just take the money. Otherwise, try going out and finding a job right now; I want to see what you turn your life into." Dong Fuqiang wasn't looking down on her; he just understood Liu Ping too well.
Uh, Chen Shiyou was stunned. This was the first time he had ever heard someone talk to him about avoiding suspicion, and he was completely dumbfounded.
Moreover, this large group was the direct lineage of Wang Ziqian's paternal grandfather. There were also the children and grandchildren of his great-uncles, some in politics, some in other industries, and some at Jinsheng Group.
As I stood by the elevator door, hesitant and melancholy, the doors slid open. Dang Hanye appeared before me with a radiant smile. Dressed in a crisp white shirt and black trousers, he was classically handsome; even with the ugly scars still lingering on his face, they could not hide his spirited vigor.
"You are not allowed to come to me for stock until you've sold the antiques in your shop!" Mu Qingyan felt that her patience had reached its breaking point.
He was about to call Johansson again when he saw two armed men emerge from the house and begin patrolling the surrounding streets.
At this very moment, a sense of awe gripped her heart. The methods of a high-level immortal were so sophisticated; from his position of superiority, he had easily created such a massive problem for her.
The atmosphere was suffocating, and he was terrified that Xiao Mohan would question him. He decided to snatch the task he had originally assigned to his bodyguards and go to the airport to pick up the guest himself.
People noticed that the Winged Demon Commander seemed to have suffered a slight internal concussion. Though it wasn't severe, the blood at the corner of his mouth looked exceptionally bewitching, as bright and vivid as a ruby.
But Qin Cheng... all these years she had loved him deeply, yet his heart remained forever fixed on that village girl, Luo Qiuhua.
