Chapter 67: Being a Guest

Ye Yifan wore a displeased look. "A beating wouldn't vent my anger. Since you're working under Huo Yanshu now, I won't make things too difficult for you. Just give me a proper apology and treat me to a meal, and I'll be the bigger man and forgive you!" As he spoke, he lifted his chin slightly, the unconcealed smugness evident in his eyes.

When all was said and done, they had lived together for over a year, and Yu Zhen still knew a thing or two about Ye Yifan's personality. Hearing this, he let out a sigh of relief, putting on a fake look of remorse and acting solemnly.

Yuan Zixia's mind instantly descended into utter chaos, completely incapable of processing any of those things! She had no idea how she even made it home! Upon returning, she simply collapsed onto her bed, staring blankly into space. Should she share this momentous discovery with Yanyan?

The commander of the Guangxi Military Region had been successfully assassinated by a powerhouse of the Demon race, resulting in the elite 703rd Division guarding Guangxi being completely annihilated by the Demon army. Other military forces in Guangxi were currently engaged in encircling and suppressing the Demons across various regions, and gathering them would take a considerable amount of time.

Especially for Teigu users who relied primarily on physical combat, such as Akame, Leone, and Brat, possessing the Six Powers would undoubtedly yield an effect where one plus one is greater than two.

Even his enemies had to concede that what he did proved he was a great statesman.

"Why did you ask me to come here?" Yuan Zixia asked, slightly puzzled, as she slowly walked up to him. Reaching out with his slender hands, he pulled her onto his lap.

Using alchemy to transform the existing rice-grain bracelet into a more advanced one was certainly beyond the capability of ordinary alchemists. Not only did this require a deep understanding of the bracelet, but it also demanded profound alchemical proficiency and a vast amount of energy.

The living Buddha on the opposite side was no pushover either. Forming hand seals, he underwent a complete transformation, radiating a divine aura like a Buddha descending to the world, eclipsing all worldly brilliance. Shrapnel from a cannonball splashed against him, yet it failed to pierce even that layer of light—a terrifying sight reminiscent of the divine abilities found in myths and legends.

Aside from reaping a bountiful harvest in the three traditional events of badminton, table tennis, and gymnastics, Guo Ziyang contributed as many as three gold medals in track and field events alone. This once again cemented the Chinese team's position firmly at second place in the gold medal tally.

Zhao Feichen did not smile. He inexplicably felt an icy gaze fixed intently on him. Following the sensation, he turned his head to find a pair of eyes hidden behind a car window, brimming with bloodshot hatred.

Mother Yuan looked at her with a choked-up voice, not speaking, only shaking her head. Jiang Jinrun still hadn't been found, and no one knew how he was doing right now.

"Huazi, what should we do?" Xin Lan asked worriedly. If nothing unexpected happened, there must be a terrifying super-entity at the peak of the mountain. Otherwise, it wouldn't have become a so-called forbidden zone where even the mighty Azure Eagle King dared not enter.

Take those wealthy tycoons, for instance—once they made their fortunes, how many remained in their native places? Didn't they all flock to wherever they saw profit to seize wealth, grain, and women? The logic was universally the same. Those people were merely rich merchants, yet you are the vast empire of China! Why on earth shouldn't you do the same?

True to form, the old duke did not believe it. He had come here with the same purpose as the old steward, but his intention was to negotiate the terms first and then send men over to fetch the meat. As for the flavor deteriorating from prolonged storage, the old duke figured even subpar meat would still taste better than anything else.

However, he unexpectedly discovered that a mid-level magical beast accidentally brushed aside by a giant dragon could actually be treated as a low-level magical beast within this spatial dimension, with the only difference being that it required an extra step of medical treatment rather than direct subjugation and breeding.

Time-travel, how should I put it? Finding a man isn't difficult; the hard part is finding a good man across thousands of years of generational gaps with whom you can spend your whole life together.

Therefore, General Ding remaining unconscious was actually a good thing. As long as he was awake, he would have plenty to keep him busy—and plenty to infuriate him. Besides, it might even be enough to anger him to death a few more times.

Lin Xue's expression changed drastically. Together with another person who had yet to make a move, they conjured a dual energy shield, protecting the general within.
