Volume 1, Chapter 37: Changing One Character, From Falling in Love to Killing Each Other

Chen Jiao thought it was worth a try. For a man like him, the land was just going to waste in his hands anyway. Renting it out meant he wouldn't have to farm it himself, yet he would still receive money every year—wouldn't he be perfectly content with that?

The position of investigator had been mentioned earlier, and now the director of the Bureau was bringing it up as well. Her eagerness to have Chen An hand over his profitable businesses to the eldest son’s household was, in fact, partly motivated by these considerations.

However, because of the beating Zhao Zhiguo had given him earlier, Banggeng dared not get anywhere near him, keeping his distance from afar.

She didn't particularly care for the styles of clothing available at the local supply and marketing cooperative; she would need to find a time to go on a major shopping spree.

"Uncle Bai, please calm your anger. Elder Qian is a master physician after all; he must have a way!" Li Shaoming still pinned his hopes on the old man he had brought with him.

After a long while, the old man sighed, took a medicine box from his pocket, and tossed it directly onto the table.

Regarding history, there is a common consensus among all enthusiasts: the concept of historical revisionism.

Xu Ningxue understood Mother Song's worries to some extent, so she quickly changed the subject and spoke to her with a smile.

Before they realized it, they had reached the edge of the mountain. A massive fault line lay before them, and in the distance stood another mountain range.

Su Tianrui was anxious, and Helian Nuo was growing impatient. He had spent two thousand taels of silver on his invitation, and no sooner had he sat down than someone came over to tell him he was in the wrong place.

Entering through the deep canyon, one could see thousands of peaks rising into the sky, with ridges crisscrossing everywhere. Stone pillars jutted out from the ground, surrounded by surging, dense white mist. Within the fog, demonic beasts roared, and some martial artists began to clash with them. The sound of impacts was incessant, and the surrounding rocks were constantly shattering.

The implication was clear: only by swallowing the Death God’s Brain-Nourishing Pill would he save them; otherwise, they could only wait here to die.

***

When he asked this question, Helian Nuo already had a rough idea, but he hoped that Xia Zheng, for the sake of the two thousand taels of silver, would give him an explanation.

Jin Xi nodded with satisfaction. However, as soon as Qing Huan finished eating, she thought of Su Ying at the Longyue Palace and rushed over there without a moment's hesitation.

Su Ying wanted to say something, but Qing Huan had already turned and left, her silhouette hurried and distressed. The hand he had reached out halfway slowly lowered. Forget it, let her go; he had other matters to attend to now and no energy left to deal with Qing Huan’s affairs.

The moment the broken arrow pierced her chest, Cui Wei took one last look at the beautiful sunset before collapsing flat onto the grass.

Chenxi called out a few perfunctory words on the public channel, but I did not respond, fearing that overdoing it would arouse John's suspicions.

"Condolences? Who are you? What right do you have to speak so lightly of condolences? Can condolences bring my brother back?" Liang Xueru glared at Chang Qinghuan.

Thinking of this, Ashina Duda gritted his teeth and steeled his heart, gathering the thousand men under his command to charge fiercely toward the battlefield where Buga Khan and Agudamu were engaged.

However, in the footage, Li Xueer was merely smiling at the camera; she did not do anything out of the ordinary.

Under this punch, Uchiha Obito's mask shattered instantly. His less-than-handsome face swelled up immediately, and his mouth was struck until it bled profusely.

Seeing this, Zhang Yingxia turned to look at Gong Sha, but Gong Sha shook her head; she was the least qualified person here to persuade any of them.

His bones rattled and popped. Po Xun tried to break free, but this "Immortal-Binding Lock" was the life-bound holy artifact of a powerful expert, designed to tighten or loosen based on the resistance of the one bound by it.

After being praised by Luo Feng, Zhen Wanying seemed a bit flustered, but then she remembered she was wearing revealing clothing, which made the situation even more awkward.

Yang Su had not expected that while Yang Guang had been wailing on the floor just a moment ago, he was now addressing himself as "Zhen" (the imperial "We") without the slightest bit of pretense.

Lin Qinghou led the group to the old tea pavilion. The main issue was that a large number of carts delivering fruit trees were blocking the lane, and the workers were slowly hoisting the trees down one by one, which was far too time-consuming.

Dahu moved his limbs mechanically, the thing between his legs swinging unashamedly; it was even more formidable than Lin Qinghou's.

Kato Eagle had no time to deal with the Rock Ninjas. He threw his Flying Thunder God kunai high into the sky and then pulled out dozens of explosive tags, tossing them all onto the bridge in one go.

Lu Xuan’s eyes were not deceiving him; those corrupted zombies were indeed rushing over. Lu Xuan was basically certain that such a significant change was caused by the parasitic eggs behind them.

"Don't worry. As long as your grandfather still has a breath left, I can bring him back to life. Once he’s back on his feet and full of energy, won't your problems be solved effortlessly?" Xiao Yang comforted him with a smile.

At that time, the two had hired a carriage, and while the coachman drove, they healed their wounds inside. Not long after leaving the capital, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Oh, Sister Florence, is there roasted meat today?" This was Princess Anareta speaking, her face filled with pleasant surprise.

Qi Wei appeared before Zisheng. "You seem quite agitated," Qi Wei asked.

The guard team rushed over to engage the sea beasts, but that was all they could do. Aside from Sha He and Wusu—both of whom possessed Tier 1 Star Power, with Sha He perhaps being even stronger—they were limited.
