Chapter 22: Sowing Discord

Shen Ruoxi’s dowry maid, carrying a food box, walked straight toward Mu Yi.

She offered greetings to him and Jiang Lin respectively. Although Song Qiao was clearly standing nearby, the maid acted as if she did not see her and began speaking directly to Mu Yi.

Not wishing to make a nuisance of herself, Song Qiao turned and walked away, taking Peier to find a relatively warmer spot to rest.

Jiang Lin, however, brought over a bowl of soup shortly thereafter.

...

Consequently, following the joint report from the Ghost Demon God and the Giant Demon God, the Silver Moon Heavenly Demon began to take action.

As soon as he spoke, Jiu Tian understood his meaning. In fact, he had already prepared his own explanation. The matter of the Siren’s Pearl would inevitably be exposed sooner or later; after all, it would be needed for the upcoming company swimwear showcase.

Qin Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground in silence, his hair turned completely white. A pair of golden wings unfurled, and as the blade-like feathers fluttered gently, they tore through the void.

Indeed, it was simply a matter of forgetting a phone number. Most normal people only save others' numbers in their own phones; it is rare for someone to go out of their way to memorize a complex number that isn't their own.

Beside Qin Chuan, a silver halberd appeared. Without any visible movement from Qin Chuan, the shaft of the halberd vibrated, and the space seemed to overlap. Divine radiance bloomed across the sky, stretching out like a rainbow piercing the sun, filling the entire firmament.

Jiu Tian had not expected it to take so long. He had thought that Groot was just in heat and that bringing him over to mate with another Nine-Leaf Tree Puppet would be the end of it, not realizing there would be such an extensive prelude.

The current abbot, Master Miaoyan, was not only a Grandmaster but the foremost among them. He had held the title of the leading Grandmaster fifty years ago, and he held it still.

"Greetings. Young Master Sun, I have been sent by Old Madam Luo to escort you. My surname is Zhang," the old man said with a respectful attitude.

After waiting for about two minutes, someone finally grew impatient, took a deep breath, placed their palm against the gate, and pushed it open.

He was Scar Three. He had been forced into banditry, yet he did not wish for his only son to follow the same path. It was precisely because of this line of work that every time he sent money home, he told his son he earned it through honest labor.

This time, a total of thirteen experts had arrived from Guanlan, all of them at the Transformation Void stage. Moreover, five of them were at the peak of the Transformation Void stage. Such an opulent lineup was almost comparable to the Star Palace.

Damn it, how did he end up with such a坑爹 system? It was utterly unreasonable. Other people’s systems were golden fingers, but his?

Lei Jian checked his wristwatch. With less than twenty minutes left until the attack scheduled for 4:17, he called the three puppet soldiers he had captured over to verify, once again, the intelligence gathered from the Japanese stronghold at Zouma Station.

Beyond that, Chen Jiayu’s two former classmates, Jiang Zhonghang and He Zhenghui, had also perished. No one had schemed against them; it was simply bad luck that they had encountered a true Great Demon attacking the camp. Though everyone had joined forces to repel the beast, the two of them had died in the fray.

Lei Jian hoisted his body onto the tank, braced his hands against the hatch, slid downward, and vanished inside.

If he were too slow and missed this opportunity, even if he obtained the Azure King’s secret treasure, he feared he would never have another chance to dominate the world and vie for supremacy.

Never play all your trump cards at once—this was the principle Stuart lived by.

As for his parents being beaten, the culprits were Li Zhanwei and Du Hui. Those two had already been punished. Simple public order disturbances were still outside the jurisdiction of the criminal police; otherwise, why would the Public Security Bureau have separate departments for public order, traffic, and criminal investigations?

Five hundred kilometers from Flower Fruit Mountain, the Monkey gave a brief explanation, then obscured the senses of Bajie and the others before leading them into the mountain.

Lü Haotian looked down and, seeing the genuine joy in Bai Yixue’s smile, found that he truly could not bear to see her harmed. Let her be happy for a while longer; after all, it wouldn't delay anything of great importance.
