Volume 1, Chapter 45: To Each Their Own Taste

Ye Yicheng frowned slightly. "Stop making unreasonable scenes."

"Me, making an unreasonable scene?" Qin Susu's gaze flickered uncertainly, as if countless words were pooled within those clear eyes.

"However, I wonder if anyone has noticed that this base mark, 'Made in the Xuande Reign of the Great Ming,' was later applied using a special adhesive technique. If this gentleman doesn't mind, he can try scraping along the base of the characters with a blade, and he will understand."

"Lin Shuihan, Elder Hong told me that it was you who used the Soul-Absorbing Rod to save all the people of Yishuang City, extracting the blood-thirst desire from their bodies, is that right?" Liu Ye glanced at the Soul-Absorbing Rod resting inside the box, then shifted his gaze to Lin Shuihan.

Lying on the bed, Kaiyang was still incessantly murmuring Jiayu's name. Feeling somewhat resentful and lacking any human empathy, Tianxiang forcefully flung Kaiyang's hand away and strode out of Kaiyang's room.

"You don't believe it?" Yang Jiaying was not surprised. Anyone with a shred of common sense would find this hard to believe, yet such a thoroughly unreasonable thing had indeed happened to her—and that parent of hers, her dearest mother, was truly her biological one.

My mind was filled with a multitude of vivid, brilliant fragments. They were chaotic and abstract, like a shattered jigsaw puzzle, yet they slowly fused together piece by piece. My heart began to race in tandem, and after a very, very long time, that scorching sensation finally subsided.

Out of sight, out of mind! The dark night concealed Ah Ni's graceful and alluring figure, allowing Chen Chumo's desires to drop to a low ebb. He had grown calm enough to keep the demon within him under control, ensuring he would do nothing to Ah Ni.

"It's like this, Director Jiang, I saw this old man selling burl wood, asking ten thousand yuan for it. I felt this piece of burl wood was worth at most two to three thousand yuan, but they actually colluded to drive the price up to five hundred thousand!" Young Master Long twisted black into white, spouting utter nonsense.

As her voice trailed off, a few more agonizing wails from Qin Meiniang echoed once again from within Wan Qing's estate.

Hongjun forcefully suppressed the urge to bury his face against Li Jinglong's chest and weep bitterly, managing a strained smile as he struggled to curve the corners of his lips upward.

Following Brother Hu, the crowd arrived at the storefront. Having received word in advance, Brother Hu's wife warmly invited everyone inside to sit, look around, and take a tour.

Lost in these thoughts, the Crown Prince's mind went entirely blank as an unprecedented fury surged from the depths of his heart.

Li Jinzhi: "..." She had clearly made inquiries; the Lin family sisters' most accurate divination fortune should have been at stall number eighty-eight.

During this time, he even spotted snipers stationed on the airport control tower, yet he remained utterly unable to determine who the traitor was.

"It's just that with so many low-level ghosts appearing tonight, and even fierce ghosts and ghost soldiers among them, leaving here might prove rather difficult." Yuebai looked with concern at the fierce ghosts wandering outside the lattice window, devouring other spirits.

Suppressing his yearning for Ouyang Hongxue, Mo Xiaosheng nodded and said, "I promise you, tomorrow I will select bandit brothers suited to become snipers and begin their training."

Sang Jue was left between laughter and tears. If she could have previously treated it as a temporary expedient, now that she had seen his face, she could no longer bring herself to act as the Ninth Prince under any circumstances—it just felt far too bizarre.

Regarding the multicolored material he had acquired, Yi Feng was thinking of having someone forge it into a short sword. If it could withstand attacks close to the Annihilation Heavenly Thunder, it should surely be able to endure the impact of the Primordial Start-Shock Thunder Sword, right?

Following that, he arrived at the Starry Corridor, where the changes were the most dramatic. The stars he had originally seen were now multiplied by countless times, and had become infinitely clearer. He could even sense the terrifying pressure emanating from every single star, as if each and every one of them were truly alive.
