Volume 1, Chapter 66: Not Within Her Consideration

Wen Li raised her gaze at the sound.

Separated by the distance of a single table, Zhou Huaiqing stood gracefully before them, tilting his head with an amused expression as he gave her a casual wave.

His lazy and unbridled demeanor was enough to give anyone a headache.

What was he doing here? Surely he couldn't be just passing by again.

"He didn't notice us anyway," the person who had been beaten retorted unconvinced from within the bushes.

After Zhao Yingjun punched a series of commands into the self-service ticket machine's screen, the displayed price remained eighty, with no half-price option appearing.

The grand feast they had eaten today, if converted into filling staple foods, would have lasted them a whole month if they ate sparingly.

The tall, dense trees provided excellent shade; though the sun had yet to set, the light within the forest was already growing dim.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the surrounding thieves changed drastically. When they looked at Shi Zhongyi and the others again, their gazes carried a hint of resistance.

The soundproofing of this hotel only extended between rooms; if someone spoke in the hallway while standing right against a door panel, they could be heard very clearly.

Years of experience gave Zhou Ning'an a crystal-clear understanding. He knew that He Nanzhi was bound to win some sort of award. The manager pulling him aside now was undoubtedly just due to concern over his lack of experience, needing to give him a few final reminders.

Early the next morning, Jiang Shunu went downstairs for work as usual, only to find Sheng Jingheng sitting on the living room sofa.

Referring to the task description of "The Lost Rubber Boat," if Zhou Dahai wanted to resign, he would have to pay a hefty penalty for breach of contract. Since Zhou Dahai had no money, he could only continue working. Jiang You deduced that his purpose in borrowing money might still be connected to the rubber boat and his resignation.

On the other side, Lu Wanlin and Gu Xingyue shared the same thought: to first take a general look around to see what the island was really like before making any further plans.

Cradling Ying'er to avoid the various fox demons, Xuanzhong used earth-tunneling arts to flee desperately, hoping only to put as much distance between them as possible. Initially, shocked by the death of her martial uncle, Ying'er's mind had been numb, allowing Xuanzhong to carry her. But when Xuanzhong fled to this place, she snapped back to awareness, only to realize with a shock that she was being held by a demon.

Surpassing all conventional stealth and invisibility skills, Chen Luo was transformed into an assassin of assassins. Ignoring all sealing methods also made Chen Luo the nemesis of many hidden classes.

A mysterious cyan staff and a brilliant blue divine sword, gleaming like autumn water, appeared almost simultaneously behind Xiao Yunfei and right before the Black Water Mysterious Snake.

The captains of the remaining forty-nine Going Merry-class maritime combat fishing vessels were all waiting for Chen Luo to speak, because they clearly knew that the actual commander of this naval operation was Chen Luo.

Crimson surged, and the dark fog enveloping the Ghost King was completely dyed blood-red, transforming into a massive sphere of blood suspended mid-air. Stimulated by the sword Qi of the诛仙 (Zhu Xian) Sword, the eerie blood sphere clearly refused to show weakness at this moment, rotating with a rumbling sound. Both sides were shrouded in brilliant light—one white, the other red—in a faint standoff.

The two coaches tentatively signed a preliminary agreement with Liu Shiqing, after which they symbolically handed him one thousand yuan as a deposit. Liu Shiqing now possessed a net worth in the hundreds of millions, so he wasn't afraid of the two coaches reneging on the deal anyway, especially with the agreement in hand.

Having constantly experienced Zhang Chen's amicable image, Yan Qiu suddenly remembered that he was not merely a collector and a businessman. He also held the identity of a third-generation scion of the Dragon City Zhang family, standing out as the most unconventional yet exceptional young master in the capital. He possessed ample influence and foundation to support such actions.

I thought to myself, wasn't this old man just messing around blindly? If he accidentally rammed and sank the boat, the three of us would throw away our lives for nothing. Yet, at present, there was no better or more effective method than this.

These people were all workers who had harvested ice the previous year, and they had also attended the celebration banquet hosted by Magistrate Cheng Yuanxiang at his estate,前来配合 (coming forward to cooperate) with the Dali Temple's questioning.
