Chapter 36

Furthermore, there is a logic to the distance at which markets should be established and how each should be organized and managed. Under natural evolution, these emerge according to geographical and economic conditions, but with unified organization by the Farming Bureau, such layouts can be planned in advance.

"It’s nothing, I just felt that it would be a pity not to come out for a stroll on such a beautiful day," Lin Zihan replied.

If he had booked the seat in advance and we were sitting in his spot, then we would be in the wrong. But this table was reserved by Zhao Jinxi; why should we give it up to him?

Splashing water echoed from within. Rong Yao’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he subconsciously turned around, facing away from the bathroom.

In fact, at this moment, it wasn't just him; even the driver beside Li Chengzhe had reddened eyes.

"As expected of you. The three sects of the Heavenly Court refuse to intervene, yet because of you, that Xuandu was actually willing to come out of seclusion..." Ziwei smiled with an inscrutable expression, his mind racing. Could it be that a Saint had intervened in this matter?

A princess of a kingdom, who was also a demon encountered on the journey to the Western Heaven, had taken a liking to Ji Wushuang, this fair and tender piece of "Tang Monk meat."

"Let me go in first; you all stay here and wait for my news." Ling Yu lifted his foot onto the path of light and walked forward along it.

Darting toward the front right, they immediately dodged the impact of the coffin-ship. These two giant turtles were massive, yet their agility at this critical moment far exceeded all of our expectations.

Even if Chang Sheng could find the Blood Lingzhi, the half-month journey back would mean that all these elders would be nothing but skeletons by the time he returned.

"Fine, it had better be as you say. If it doesn't work, I won't let you off," Li Qiuling said, still half-believing and wearing a look of hesitation.

Thinking back to how angry my father was that day when he mistakenly thought I had been drinking with Ouyang Junyu, if the person involved had been Lou Yihang, he probably would have wanted to lock me away for life. I doubt that even if I eventually fell in love, my parents would ever agree to it.

Qin Feng didn't know either. He looked at the heart rate and other vitals displayed on the monitor; although weak, they were still there.

Yuan Haigang looked up at the circling birds and began to curse furiously, but before he could finish, *splat*—another dollop of bird droppings landed right in his mouth.

"Let’s not, it’s already past nine in the evening; it wouldn’t be right to disturb them so late," Father Gu rejected the suggestion.

At the edge of the wilderness, a dense crowd had gathered. Judging by their attire, almost every sect in the vicinity was represented.

General Shen hesitated for a moment before stepping aside, and the golden-armored soldiers followed suit, clearing a path.

With that shout, the creature that had lunged out was instantly provoked. Its two eyes, shimmering with ferocious intent, glared at Su Lin, and it assumed an attacking posture.

The giant dragon spoke, its cold, archaic tone echoing in the ears of all the ice-plain monsters. These creatures trembled under the terrifying draconic pressure, while the Red Dragon clan displayed expressions of fanatical worship.

Moreover, when facing such a stunning beauty, he felt not a single impure thought, nor the slightest intention to desecrate her.

Of course, under normal circumstances, there would be no issues following a massive support fleet, especially in the early stages of war, and in such a remote area of space as the X50 sector.

"You're lying! How could you know how to sing? Who taught you? I've never heard you sing before!" Hao Yin was the most skeptical and questioned him loudly.

Qi Qing looked at the bead of blood on her index finger, her expression uncertain. She remained silent, though her fingertips trembled slightly.

Li Hongzhui had been in the greenhouse asking He Zao for advice on vegetable cultivation. He Zao, finding the questions not too private, had explained everything in detail. Now, he followed her as she stepped outside.

"My father-in-law was a decent man who never did anything wrong. Why is it so unfair that he had to suffer from this disease, wasting away bit by bit?" Fourth Aunt Lu sighed again.

This term, "ghost slave," carried a note of contempt, but as it spread among the common people, it became a common designation like "cattle" or "sheep," simply denoting a slave.

Seeing Liu Ningyou appear before him safe and sound, Xing Zechen revealed a rare smile on his scarred face.

"Strange, why are there humans inside the Nine Realms of Ten Thousand Daos? Is this some kind of illusion? Or perhaps a test..." The fatty found it bizarre, as the old man possessed no aura whatsoever, appearing just like an ordinary human.

However, He Zao seemed to have a clear understanding of the history of every shop in town, as well as how well their businesses were faring, which left Liu Hui quite surprised.

"When we were in the Nine Realms of Ten Thousand Daos, I felt that Ji Zifeng was very hostile toward you, so I had someone keep an eye on him. More than half of the opponents you faced in the Mortal Stage were arranged by him to deal with you, and that Lieutenant Colonel Ma Jing was one of them," Sun Zi said.

Wu Hao looked suspiciously at the Overlord beside him. Seeing the latter examining the battle between the man and the bear with an extremely solemn expression, he swallowed the words he was about to say. In such an eerie atmosphere, Wu Hao could only sit by and watch quietly.

The eyes of both Wu Hao and the other man shifted to the front. They saw that in the region ahead, there was an invisible spatial barrier covering the entire area.

Time slipped away in silence. No one spoke a word. Xiao Guo sat on the ground, quietly holding Que'er’s body. His tears had long since dried, and Que'er’s body had already grown cold. Time seemed to speak of the ruthlessness of the world, and the breeze seemed to mourn for her as the emotions of life and death spread through everyone's hearts.

In the blink of an eye, the two shafts of white light merged into one and collided in the air with a thunderous boom. Layers of the void were shattered, and the white and green lights clashed, creating a massive hole in the sky from which flames scattered in all directions.

The noble etiquette of Dorm 201—the "airplane ride"—is something an ordinary person would rarely experience under normal circumstances.

He simply could not believe that the elite of the prestigious World Alliance could be defeated so miserably today. Less than a third of the original force remained, and that number was still constantly dwindling.

In the end, even though Nangong Ning stared until her eyes grew sore, she still could not find any trace of disguise on Shui Lianyue’s face. Shui Lianyue let her stare, meeting Nangong Ning’s gaze with a calm, direct look.

Cultivators are incredibly powerful beings. It is said that some possess unfathomable abilities that modern science cannot explain. Zhang Long, who worked for the Zhu family of the Eight Great Clans, had naturally seen such cultivators before; in his eyes, they were beings that defied the heavens.

"Brother Shunzi, we must rush back quickly! We cannot afford to drag this out any longer!" Qing Qing Zijin warned.
