Chapter 102: The Garden Bursting with Spring Cannot Be Hidden

Staring at Aunt Bai, who had suddenly pulled him to the edge and kissed him forcefully, Liu Shen’s eyes widened, his mind momentarily blank.

A few days ago, he had been struck by an arrow in the shoulder…

During his recovery, his brother-in-law and Yuan Xiaofei had brought him various medicines. Whether by mistake or design, among the many remedies for internal and external injuries were a few bottles of “Dragon-Tiger Elixir,” known to invigorate the blood and open the meridians but with some side effects…

At the time, he still felt strong and robust, dismissing the effects of the potion.

A mixed gathering often included singing, dancing, music, jesting, and acrobatics; from a structural perspective, it was indeed quite a “variety,” which is why it was called a variety play.

After all, the choice made then was as mad as a diamond—liberating the hundred demons within himself.

At that moment, two forces suddenly locked in a stalemate, neither yielding, constantly rubbing and colliding. With a thunderous boom, Chen Yun’s surrounding space burst forth explosively, startling the Thunder Beast. Because he was engulfed in the mystery, unable to probe it himself, he could only watch closely from outside.

A man’s voice, crisp and clear like a slanting bright moon, trembled and resounded, bringing a sense of reassurance.

Zi Yun Yuan had long ago encountered powerful beings of the Spiritual Saint Realm. The immense strength of Bi Fang and An Gui left an unforgettable impression—the colossal meteorites and the all-consuming void power all attested to the formidable might of the Spiritual Saint Realm.

Saving money is earning money. Though Bai Helibu Shibi was a king, he was also a master of frugality, carefully counting every silver coin. Hearing how much could be saved, he was clearly tempted, but in front of Wu Zhi, he feigned restraint, nodding with a serious face but saying nothing.

He stepped forward and said, “You are doing well, continue.” After speaking, he led Chen Yun into the imperial city.

Even the puppeteer was uncertain; a rare creation must have its practicality and distinctive features. From an artistic standpoint, it was perfect, but from a combat perspective, it was worthless. How to verify it? How to test it?

Peng Ting’s gaze was filled with hatred, yet I could sense his panic. Like Ling Xuan, he faced death fearlessly, but that did not mean he was not afraid of me.

If this were the past, Letian would have had to call for a sedan chair from the prefecture office, inevitably drawing the mockery and disdain of the bearers. Yet, times have changed.

There is an old saying: “The weak bully the strong, the strong fear the reckless, but if someone fears nothing, that is truly terrifying.” Hearing Long Feng’s words, the old ancestor of Purgatory Island urged anxiously, “Wait! I have a solution.”

Li Yubang nodded. “Be careful not to approach ponds or the like, and don’t climb the mountains, understood?” In the village, there were always occasional drownings near ponds, so they were strict with the children.

High above, everyone waited silently. Inside Dangyin Mountain, all was calm; everyone behaved properly to avoid conflict, each seeking their sacred artifact.

Suddenly, a sense of fulfillment filled Wang Qingyue’s heart. So this was the feeling of friendship? Yet throughout the journey, Hu Weixin had scarcely spoken, as taciturn as a sealed gourd. From Liu Yiyi’s words, Wang Qingyue knew he was usually talkative—today, however, was inexplicably different.

In the center of the room stood a table, behind which sat a man. His complexion was pale, and he wore a black suit.

Saying “compensation” might be inappropriate—let’s call it reimbursement. Give them all the prize money and rewards this work has earned, but keep the authorship as your own. If that’s still not suitable, add some extra money as a modeling fee for the two of them.

The judges arrived one after another and took their seats on the podium. They had even invited reporters from television and newspapers to broadcast and interview on site.

Uh! I’ll tell you when I get the chance! Right now, I don’t know how to explain it either. Regardless, I must thank you for your advice. Long Feng sincerely expressed his thoughts.
