Chapter 134: The Truth of Those Years

Qi Yan kissed her again. “Mianmian, you don’t need to worry. I deliberately let Second Uncle take the position of president of the Qi Group. Even if I’m no longer president of the Qi Group, I can still support you for the rest of your life.”

Ruan Mianmian asked in confusion, “Then why did you deliberately let Second Uncle become president?”

The moment she returned, she had hurried to exchange the medicine for Qi Yan because she wanted to hear him explain this very matter.

Qi Yan’s gaze deepened. “There are some parasites in the company. It’s time to clean them out. Let—”

“I don’t think either side can claim victory,” Shen De said. Rarely, he stopped talking and thought for a moment before answering Yang Jian.

Although these rare treasures had names and known places of origin, they were not easy to find. That was why Yun Yu was willing to pay such a high price for them.

That night, when Shen Shuiji saw Chu Ziliu sleeping beside her like a dead pig, an overwhelming disgust rose within her. Yes, as a young woman with beautiful features, she would never have tolerated someone like him snoring beside her pillow if not for the money.

I happened to remember that I still had to go with Lan Xin to the back mountains of Ancient Banyan Village to look for clues, so I had no choice but to let it go. “It’s fine! You’ll be mine sooner or later anyway.” With that, I contentedly kissed Yan Yu on the forehead.

Since Yun Yu had used beast hide of only the early Profound Spirit Realm level for this refinement, the luminous power of the talisman appeared capable of deceiving cultivators of the Profound Spirit Realm. In truth, however, its actual might had not increased by much.

“This is it.” Xia suddenly turned her back, removed her top, and revealed the black tattoo on her back.

The reason it had taken so long was simply that Ye Zhuo had not been hurrying along with all his might. Most of his attention had actually been devoted to searching the deep mountains and ancient forests for heavenly treasures, demonic beasts, and spirit herbs. Even so, after two months, he had still reached the end of the Southern Heaven Region, arriving at the banks of the Lancang River.

The valley plains stretching a hundred miles in every direction were the territory of the Xiangli clan. This square was where they usually gathered. Whether celebrating festivals with song and dance or solemnly worshiping their ancestors and the gods, the people of the Xiangli clan would assemble here.

“Luo Tian, can your mindforce control other things as well?” Xue’er asked, her expression full of astonishment and confusion, yet also intensely focused. Indeed, this was Luo Tian—a supremely fortunate man who had found himself beneath half a carrying pole.

Seeing that her attack had produced such remarkable results, Yin Feng’s assault erupted with power, accompanied by a clear, ringing peal of feminine laughter.

Having memorized the steps, Li Ji took two coins from the bag, tossed the bag at Wenren Junfu’s feet, and went off to play one of the claw machines. Wenren Junfu naturally noticed what she had done. He glanced at the plastic bag filled with coins by his feet, and the corners of his lips lifted almost imperceptibly.

In the past, she might indeed have thought that way. Tu Mi was right. Perhaps when she had first arrived on this continent from the twenty-first century, she had been burdened by too much weariness and unease, and had wanted to find somewhere to hide herself completely.

Just as she was gritting her teeth and preparing to eat a few bites of ice cream, a fair, large hand suddenly reached over and took away the transparent dish of ice in front of her.

Hua Feiye pursed her lips. After a brief moment of thought, she realized that unless absolutely necessary, the Black Fox would never allow Feng Xiyin to meet Yu Li’yang.

“They’re probably trying to wipe everyone out in one stroke!” Zhuo Qing habitually assumed the most sinister possibility. Though furious beyond words, she could do nothing about it. After all, they were using the same banner as the government authorities.

I sat up and drew a deep breath. The corners of my lips rose uncontrollably, yet tears began to fall as well. In astonishment, I stared at the tears gathered in my hands. Perhaps the body’s instincts were more reliable than the memories in my mind. I thought I must be very sad now—but was I truly sad, or was I not?

Ever since returning to Cherry City this time, Jiǔge had imagined countless times what it would be like to meet Feng Xiyin. She had never expected that when the two finally met again, it would be under circumstances like these.
