Chapter 89: Comfort Me

“He only sees me as an older sister.”

“Go on, keep lying to yourself. I’m not worried about what he might do to you. I’m worried about what Xu Yanchen might do to him.”

“He won’t.” Lin Lu lowered her eyes. “Zhao Yu saved my life. Xu Yanchen knows that. He won’t do anything to him.”

...

So the Free Empire put a large amount of grain up for sale, only to have the other empires drive the price down to the absolute minimum. Then there were the mineral ores of all kinds. These were basically the empire’s old foundations, but now that it stood on the brink of ruin, even this self-destructive move was unavoidable.

The two of them looked in the direction she pointed; it was the room the mad scientist had come out of earlier.

“Is there something on my face?” He crouched down so that his eyes were level with hers.

The next day, before dawn had even broken, Chen Feng and Lan Qianyi were already up, packing their things and waiting for the City Lord of Imperial Dragon City to arrive. Since they were entering the Ancient Battlefield in secret from the others, it was better to keep a low profile.

A scarlet glow lit up the entire Kui residence. Seen from outside, it was dazzling as neon, yet as deadly as the blazing sun.

“Because this is a matter for the Qilin Clan. It has nothing to do with our Ice Cradle Palace. We will help where we should, but these affairs will be handled by the Qilin Clan’s people. It is not our place to interfere,” Gu Shixin said coldly, folding her arms across her chest.

In the sky, there had originally been a few cultivators, but the instant the two appeared, they were forced downward by the fierce pressure rolling toward them.

With that sudden embrace, the resolve in Shi Nanye’s heart shattered all at once, leaving him at a loss. He had already thought it through: after this matter was over, he would no longer keep in contact. Whatever she wanted, he would do his utmost to help her achieve it.

Yi Mu’s gaze wavered; sure enough, she was shaken. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, a voice from outside the door cut her off.

After all, the seven production plants of the Guanghai Oilfield were located in three different cities, and the farthest one, Plant Four, was more than two hundred kilometers from Guanghai Petrochemicals. Yet the crude oil produced at Plant Four still had to be transported to Guanghai Petrochemicals. So Liu Cheng instinctively found the whole thing strange.

Zhou Liao looked at Li Zhiyun with a smile. As he spoke, he took the spicy snack strips from her hand and held them, simply holding them without eating.

Similar to this were the skills of low-level network node control and virtual technology integration.

Qiu Zishi was the strongest among them, and even he had been defeated in a single move; it went without saying that the rest were utterly powerless to resist.

For example, a furnace of pills generally produces ten in total. If there is too little medicinal liquid, it may end up condensing only nine pills, or even eight. That naturally counts as a fairly serious mistake.

The final fate of the paper effigies was to be burned to ashes before everyone’s eyes, as a farewell tribute to the King of Qinghe.

Though Shi Han said it so casually, and though he seemed unconcerned, he still did not dare be careless.

Bang. Man and wolf slammed violently together with a dull, heavy impact, like two beasts encased in turtle shells brawling brutally in a pure contest of flesh and strength.

The consciousness-type alien race was the rarest of all alien races, possessed of exceedingly high intelligence, and every time it appeared it heralded some major move by the aliens.

Especially things like wristwatches, bicycles, and radios. A wristwatch was even one of the famed three-turn-and-one-boom items, making it all the more coveted.

Chu Yi frowned, sensing that her condition today was very wrong, and gripped her arm.

When EDG ended this battle’s suspense with a crushing classic team fight in which they lost none while killing five, the Haier Brothers and the playful commentator on the broadcast desk nearly leaped to their feet.

He did not have much time left. After a brief weighing of the pros and cons, the Silver Armored warrior still decided to evade the strike of the Heaven-Sea Cannon.
