Chapter 144: Anger

"Collect!"

Fan Xianyue uttered a crisp shout, shaking the bell in her hand while removing the stopper from the small black gourd hanging at her waist. A bizarre and eerie gale instantly surged forth from the mouth of the small gourd.

Those greedy, glowing green eyes were suddenly seized with terror as her body was forcibly sucked out of the pitch-black alleyway by this weird gale.

Her true appearance was thus completely exposed to the sunlight.

Half of her body possessed the enchanting face and graceful figure of a woman...

There were many matters requiring her assistance. After being busy for quite a while, Xu Yanting finally got a break. Upon entering her vacation, she didn't go out at all, resting obediently at home for several days to regain her energy before she began handling the affairs of the shop and the supermarket.

"What on earth is wrong with you, all of a sudden? I still don't understand why you insist on keeping her by your side." Listening to Grand Madame Hua's rigid tone, which sounded entirely devoid of any joking intent, Elder Zhuo finally began to take the matter seriously.

With that, Zhao Fengyao paused for a moment, then looked once again at the people assembled in the room. Everyone was sitting upright, fixing solemn gazes upon him.

Xu Yanting was very happy. After all, before returning, she had spoken with Xu Da'an on the phone. At that time, Xu Da'an hadn't said whether he would return or not, only that it was uncertain and they would discuss it once things were settled. To her surprise, he had already returned; when the New Year arrived, she could simply go straight back to her maiden home without having to travel all the way to City S.

Jiyuan County was a vital stronghold of the imperial court, and likewise a crucial stronghold for the Night Demon Army. Before the Night Demon Army breached Jiyuan County, Luo Tiancheng's apprehensive belief that there were ambushes hidden within Jiyuan County was also based on the geographical advantages of this place.

Suspended in mid-air, Guy completely lost any space to dodge, while the golden blade released by Li Lao seized the exact right moment. To outside observers, it looked as though Guy had deliberately thrown himself right into the path of the golden blade.

A tremendous roar rang out abruptly, its earth-shaking volume causing the ice and snow on those freezing giant trees to cascade down unceasingly. Judging solely by the sound, that deafening roar seemed to originate from a very distant place.

Although this mixer party had been organized in a hurry, it was initiated by representatives of the exhibition organizers, so its scale was quite substantial. Nearly all the attending bidders were present, among whom more than thirty were Westerners clad in black suits.

Most importantly, she wanted to see her child. From birth until now, she hadn't caught even a single glimpse. Remembering how lively the baby was when he was inside her belly, he must surely be a very lively and adorable infant now.

"No need to thank me. Nor do you need to be afraid," Zhuo Yixu said softly, looking at the slightly upturned thin lips exposed outside the mask.

Upon seeing Malaya University covered in banners that exclusively bore inscriptions welcoming the Ba's Group, there was no connection whatsoever to Dongjiang University or Huaxia.

After the call went through, seeing that Zhang Ming was safe and sound, Yin Peihan relaxed considerably. Immediately afterward, Zhang Ming instructed Yin Peihan to go to a specific location.

Some reporters invited to attend the ceremony exchanged glances, already starting to draft mental notes in preparation for heading back to stir up a major news story.

Right at that moment, Long Ling'er thrust out her proud chest and blocked the path, her stance clearly conveying an instruction to clear out.

"Those three announced their departure from Justice Heaven without any explanation or handover, completely disregarding me. Some punishment is definitely required," Chen Ge said bluntly.

The fierce sound of hooves shattered the tranquility of Malian Avenue. A large troop of soldiers and horses appeared at the northern end of the street, speeding southward. The total number of this troop was around three hundred, of whom only a dozen or so were on horseback while the rest followed closely on foot.

Within the immediate surrounding vicinity, based on the previous diffused perception, there had been no one else present. Wu Fan could be certain of this.

Then the boarding announcement chimed throughout the airport. Xu Anran dragged her luggage, turning her head back every few steps to wave goodbye to me. Only after she completely vanished from my line of sight did I turn and leave the airport.

Just as Kang Longji stepped out of the Qianyuan Hall, his call to Zhou An was neither loud nor soft, yet it carried quite a distance. Zhou An heard it clearly, and hurriedly turned back to see Kang Longji beckoning to him.
