57 Fry (Part 8)

Both skills belonged to extremely rare categories. After redeeming them, Tong Tian's mission points were instantly depleted. Spending the remainder on a few materials, he closed the reward shop.

The most crucial point was that by pinning down a massive enemy force here, they would lack the personnel to intercept Fatty, effectively turning a starving tiger loose in a sheepfold.

While still in the palace, she had administered the finest medicines to stabilize Prince Xiao's internal bleeding and external wounds. As long as he recuperated properly, there would be no major complications.

Mindful of yesterday's taxi incident, when driving him to the airport today, I did not dare to hail a random cab, and instead had a vehicle dispatched directly from the company.

I examined the barrier. For a barrier master of my caliber, such an enchantment was hardly insurmountable, though breaking it would require time.

As we spoke, I raised my gaze slightly to look at Miyamoto Musashi, only to find his expression stern and cold, rendered utterly speechless by my words.

Filled with astonishment, I reached out to pull Fulin aside for an explanation, but he merely offered me a gentle, enigmatic smile before striding away, leaving me completely baffled.

"In the future, I am bound to fall out with the Princess Consort of the Prince Regent. I only hope Your Highness will not be dragged into this. Take care, Your Highness!" I subtly reminded Dodo, hoping he might escape the impending disaster.

"Third Princess, you can rest assured. I am a person of the old era and I have a fiancé named Ziyu. Although we are not yet married, our love is true. As for Lin Xiao, I simply regard him as an older brother," Shangguan Qing'er said earnestly.

Meanwhile, the materialization of spiritual intent meant that spiritual intent could also become tangible. Attacking with spiritual intent naturally carried a lethality that could not be compared in the same breath. Spiritual intent was already capable of inflicting physical damage on the mortal body, a feat divine intent could never achieve.

As for the profit-sharing ratios, these varied considerably. Some would allocate twenty percent of the profits for distribution, some five percent, and others chose not to distribute a single penny at all.

Now that our primary stage of socialism has achieved success, what comes next? The intermediate stage, followed by the advanced stage? That sounds like the nomenclature used for professional titles—what happens once one reaches the advanced level?

Such a suggestion was adopted by Yu Jiang. After seeing Dr. Xu off, Yu Jiang kept watch beside Tian Pengpeng while making a phone call.

A remarkably tall man wearing a cloak and a golden robe strode with a proud, confident gait into the spacious Chief's Hall.

Hearing this, Liu Jia breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Xuan had mentioned that Luo Chen had over a hundred seasoned traders under his command.

A bitter ache surged in the depths of Mohan Chen's heart. In the end, he simply raised his wine cup, drinking every time she drank.

"Hand the lunchbox to me. The two of us have matters to attend to," Yu Jiang said to Yang Chen before Tian Pengpeng could express her stance.

Accepting the slices of Kun meat from Lu Ya, Liu Xuanye showed no hesitation, gently taking a bite from the exact spot where Lu Ya had eaten.

First was Elder Yu, whose age should be a dozen or so years younger than Elder Yang. The words "kind" and "gentle," typically used to describe the elderly, clearly did not suit him. He resembled a figure of authority far more, his brow and gaze steeped in majesty.

From the direction of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Elder Huang lazily spoke up, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"The teachers and professors seem somewhat unconvinced and are splitting hairs with him," Li Qingqing said in a low voice.

Though he understood what had transpired, the anger in the Demon Lord's heart did not dissipate in the slightest; instead, it grew increasingly fierce. Frowning, he cast a cold gaze toward Zhang Heng.

He never expected Ling Shaoxuan's reaction to be so extreme. Could it be... that something very serious had happened in the past?

Fortunately, the rabbit spirit and the fox spirit could not witness this scene. Otherwise, he would be waiting to become the butt of jokes for the rest of his life.

As Chun Teng played around, her phone suddenly vibrated. She nearly flung it away, but fortunately, she was a vine of the world and retained her composure, managing not to toss it. Then, she saw the line of text floating at the very top.

"It seems that bottle of white stalactite liquid can enhance cultivation," Xiran smiled and summarized.

They had to be people from the Lan family. It was not enough for these people to usurp her father's apothecary and drive them away; now, they even intended to burn them alive.

Her body leaned somewhat limply against the wall, her eyes narrowed against the sunlight, revealing deep vigilance and wariness. At the sight of Feng Linglong, she froze in a daze.

Looking at Murong Xuanxuan putting on airs before her, Xiran found it to be a rather unique sensation, feeling a sense of quiet amusement within.

Naturally, after the shock wore off, the media and fans in Keku also came to their senses, beginning to dissect the reasons behind the team's defeat in this match.

Linghushuo truly wished to witness what a weapon capable of destroying a star with a single shot looked like, but he was constrained by an empty purse.

Quite a few newcomers had come to seek refuge at Changming Fortress this year. Food in the mountains was already scarce, and he had gone several meals without a full stomach. Unable to simply watch them turn away empty-handed, he falsely issued an order in Yu Changming's name, led a troop out to intercept the caravan, and plundered ten full carts of grain.

Unaware of what had happened, we could only remain on high alert. Everyone retreated several paces just in case something lunged out from the water, especially given the giant lizards and leeches we had encountered earlier as cautionary precedents.

When it was time to leave, Lady Zheng had Hao Hua send Hao Qian off in her stead, retreating to the inner chambers without a shred of reluctance under the guise of lesson planning, entirely ignoring Hao Qian's expectant gaze.

Yu Kaizheng was coaxing Liao Xiuming into conversation with Liao Fengjun by his side. The two children took a distinct liking to Yu Kai; although they did not address him as grandfather aloud, they were nonetheless very close to him.
