Volume 1, Chapter 30: Wanxi Takes the Initiative to Approach Him

The next day.

Song Wanxi slept until noon. The scorching sun shone through the window into the room; after a night of rain, the sky was washed clean and exceptionally blue.

A moment later, the two returned, each having captured a powerful Adjuchas-class Hollow, and placed them at Aizen’s side.

Mumu sighed, lamenting that the White Wolf had become a mute, leaving all the planning to be his own responsibility. These bastards were already acting drunk without even touching a drop of alcohol; there was no telling what they would be like if they actually started drinking.

Gripping the Heavenly Wolf Blade tightly, Helian Nuo felt, for the first time, how close he was to death. To kill or be killed—two completely opposite fates—were about to be sealed forever within this brief span of time.

However, the protective formation of the Yin-Yang Valley was not so easily deciphered, and after pondering blindly for a long time, he still could not find the key.

In order to squeeze out Guo Liang, the stock price had been driven down very low, and it should have been easy to profit with just a slight rally. Yet, every time it rose, it plummeted just as it neared the first target price. Unable to offload the stocks while the losses continued to mount, she watched in agony as the wealth Chu Tianxiong had accumulated gradually dwindled.

The rumbling was constant. The entire light barrier shattered, and as the mist of light swirled and spiritual energy whistled, the area was completely transformed into a golden ocean.

Cultivators truly possessed remarkable skills; overnight, everything that had been destroyed by Xia Tian, including the buildings, had been completely repaired. If one had not personally experienced the events of yesterday, it would have been impossible to tell that this place had once been devastated.

Fear was one thing, but she could not let it show. Pretending to get up for a drink of water, she casually lowered the blinds. Through the gap in the curtains, she peered outside, searching for those hidden eyes.

It took a long while for Chu Tianxiong to recover. "Oh my, that horseradish is truly spicy," he remarked, quickly taking a sip of wine and wiping his eyes with a tissue.

After all, as third-rank maids, the time they spent seeing their masters was already limited, let alone having the chance to speak with them. If they couldn't even talk to their masters, there was little hope of leaving a lasting impression, let alone being promoted to first-rank maids.

"Exactly, fifty yuan is not a small amount. When I returned to my maiden home, it was only twenty yuan, and yet she thinks fifty is too little!" Gao Liman felt deeply displeased. Why should Kou Xi receive a higher dowry than her, and more money when visiting her parents' home?

Every time Mi Le went to get food, Huo Jiaojiao would pile her plate high with the freshest and most delicious dishes. Mi Le had always assumed the cafeteria was owned by her uncle, having enjoyed free lunches for years.

As for the couple Xue Heng and his wife, there was no need to worry about them at all; she became pregnant shortly after their marriage, and the child was born at the same time as Xue Yan and his sister.

As for Shenzhen? Kou Xi suddenly wondered: since the Hong Kong financial crisis had begun and Gu Chen mentioned that many Hong Kong residents were selling properties to recoup their losses, what was the state of property prices in Shenzhen?

But Jiang Tiandao did not offer a word of explanation; he simply snatched the hoe from his hands and began working with vigorous strokes.

The office area of the Shanghai branch of Hezong Media was still chaotic. People were constantly moving about, and although everyone tried to keep their movements soft and their voices low, the moment one stepped inside, it felt more like a construction site than an office.

However, Longhu City was simply too vast; after several days, he had only managed to explore two or three districts.

Qingyu Valley excelled in flight-based martial arts, while the Profound Core Realm disciples of the Nether Palace were masters of assassination and virulent poisons.

More importantly, Chu Tiance was a Divine Rune Master, and combined with his study of the Heavenly Soul Scripture, he was far more sensitive to the Purple Soul Ganoderma.
