Chapter 99: Granddaughter
“Yes, our family and our nation continue without end. At my age, seeing these young people, I can’t help but feel deeply moved,” the old master of the Shen family echoed, then cast a meaningful glance at the old master Bai and said, “At our age, we view everything with detachment. Only watching the younger generation marry and have children, passing on the bloodline, brings true contentment...”
Several buyers who previously showed little interest suddenly perked up after listening to Mel’s explanation. In an instant, many buyers gripped their bidding paddles, eager to participate.
“Budding of Wood, are you saying my spiritual strength has to increase by at least fifty times?” I asked, because it felt nearly impossible to reach the level that character described.
Meanwhile, the two layers of sky canopy swiftly extended, covering the entire Yin-Yang Hall. All the jealousy and greed of the cultivators present was gathered and absorbed.
At 2:15 in the afternoon, the only telephone in the village committee office of Shimen Village shrilled. It was Zhou Meng, Lin Jinhong’s driver, calling with good news: thanks to prompt medical care, the three villagers who had been seriously injured were no longer in life-threatening danger. Arrangements had already been made by Zhou Meng and another villager accompanying the ambulance to admit them to the county hospital.
It may seem incredible, but the logic is simple. Lancang is a “brother nation” to Annan, and Long Ji is a renowned businessman in Lancang’s upper class—wealthy, powerful, and maintaining strong business ties with Annan. People like Long Ji from Lancang evoke a sense of kinship and security among Annan’s military and police.
Suddenly, Lin Jinhong stood up, his face darkening. He paced back and forth, his brows never once unfurrowing.
The roots of the King of Medicine Vine appeared white and red—white like skin, red like blood. This was precisely why Sun Simiao used them to treat blockages in the body’s meridians.
“Does your Demonic Sect intend to bully with numbers?” Li Xuanying stepped forward in defense, as Song Yun was already at a disadvantage. Even Li Xuanying believed so. For her to stand up at such a moment showed she truly regarded Song Yun as a friend.
Watching Jiang Wubian disappear into the rain, and seeing the tumor fighter begin to regain consciousness, Lin Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
One had the face of a great sage, the other of a shark—it was quite an odd pair. But noticing the gold badges on their waists and the silver badges on the four behind them, it was clear these were not people to offend lightly.
Yan Ning watched the black silhouette recede into the distance and let out a breath. She didn’t believe the Northern Yan forces would escape defeat this time. The thought of their utter rout filled her with satisfaction. Looking toward Yanzhou City, she wondered if her second brother could capture Su Liqing.
During this time, Qin Tian also observed the shopkeeper. Calling him a child was a misnomer—he was more like an old monster, his actions and demeanor indistinguishable from an adult.
“Ahem, so you’ve just started playing around like this?” Xi Tianling walked up behind them, patted them on the shoulders, and asked with exasperation.
“Gentlemen, after the area is cleared, I’ll leave things in your care,” Wang Yan suddenly turned and addressed Yu Lianzhou.
Erusa sighed. Though unwilling to admit it, he truly was that strong! Just how did someone become so powerful?
Upon hearing this, He Yueling’s heart stirred slightly. Smiling, he began recounting stories from his early days in the military, which fascinated Wang Qi. Soon after, he started to probe for information about “Big Gun.”
Now, the aura and indomitable conviction of the First Emperor had reached its peak—this was the invincible Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng! Victory upon victory, treading over the corpses of his enemies—how reminiscent of his unification of the Six Kingdoms!
In an instant, the silver full moon and the blue vast sea trembled simultaneously. The region bound by the Spirit Saint’s Heart Town Domain Fist was instantly shattered, and the terrifying force of the spear surged toward the Spirit Saint’s Heart.
