Chapter 74: In a War of Words, Ruan Mianmian Never Loses

Ruan Mianmian’s voice was not loud, yet each word was clear and distinct. Some of the noblewomen nearby had already begun to cover their mouths to stifle their laughter. Gu Yaxuan’s face immediately turned unsightly, for tonight she was wearing an expensive ruby necklace.

[Congratulations, Host, you have gained 400 points.]

Seeing her friend falter, Shen Wanru stepped forward, deliberately raising her voice, “Mianmian, so you’re interested in jewelry and antiques as well?”

Time ticked by, but Xiao Kuang’s figure never appeared, and the Blood Realm’s ruler’s mood gradually sank to rock bottom.

The Empress Dowager’s blind trust in her maternal clan had plunged Jiangdong into chaos. Now, the Yu family had lost its power and been expelled from court. Before Yu Yi made any significant moves in Yuzhou, he could not openly support the Empress Dowager. If there were any rumors in the inner palace, they were nothing out of the ordinary.

At the same time, just as Liu Yifeng returned triumphantly, the Mercenary Guild was the first to receive news of the Tianya Mercenary Group’s ambush.

By chance, he discovered the secret glyphs of the formation path. Delighted, he tried to comprehend them, but the glyphs wounded his soul, causing his memory to fade and even triggering the cave’s restrictions, which led to his imprisonment.

Reflecting on history, it was likely that when his father had faced such temptation from the court, he had discerned the hidden intent to destroy him, and so resolutely refused, choosing instead to march west toward Jiankang in defiance, his actions not without a sense of tragic indignation.

Thanks to all these preparations, when the court assembly arrived, Zhuge Hui remained relatively composed. With no news from Jingzhou, it was clear that Yu Yi, too, was anxious and watching from the sidelines. As long as he was not struck down immediately, support and opportunity would eventually come.

Zhang Wen was just about to ask Wen Qingye about that person’s identity when, at that moment, a voice sounded behind the crowd.

From a distance, Zhu Bajie, still fighting, looked at the top of Qin Jun’s head with disbelief, while Tang Sanzang and Sha Wujing also widened their eyes in astonishment.

Mr. Ma first thanked Lin Zixuan for arranging someone to buy him a coat. Lin Zixuan replied that it was his duty—Mr. Ma was a guest of Good Dream Company, and it was Good Dream’s responsibility to look after its guests.

Unlike other countries where, once the highest-ranking officer of a unit dies, the government must appoint a new leader—creating a brief power vacuum.

In the distance, music began to play. Thirty-two magic mirrors surrounded her, and as far as the eye could see, the entire F11 was reflected in her gaze.

Experts skilled in advanced counter-revolutionary psychology were, in fact, a threat to the Soviet regime itself; thus, they, too, had to be purged in a timely manner, ensuring that the work of rooting out traitors remained firmly in the hands of the dear leader.

The Battlefield of Gods and Demons was currently where the armies of Light and Darkness faced off. The monsters there were numerous, all humanoid, and incredibly troublesome to deal with. The higher-level monsters were even more powerful.

As Yulong Zhan made his way through the Sunset Corridor, he gradually understood the attributes of its monsters—all tough-skinned, thick-fleshed warrior types at level forty. Even he, a warrior himself, had to skirt around them. For a fighter to train here—well, it smacked of showing off.

This was the price for wantonly destroying flowers and plants, the result of all manner of demons and monsters exerting their influence together.

Luo Kai was in no mood to watch a second episode; having seen so many classic dramas from Earth, he had become quite the critic.

Thus, Lin Dong was out of luck—severely criticized, warned, and even blacklisted by New Zealand, subject to strict searches at every crossing.

These orbs of light possessed unparalleled power—with knowledge that surpassed anything from the human era, the wizards, on their ruined homeworld, founded an unprecedented nation.

Loaded with supplies, the team began their return journey. As they traveled, Lin Mu started to consider reorganizing the team. After a day of observation, he had come to understand the performance of each member and was now ready to make the necessary adjustments.
