Chapter 137: Waiting for You to Grow Up

The director narrowed his eyes. "If she dares to be this insolent today, she’ll be riding roughshod over me by tomorrow! Liaojiawan, is it? Find someone and take care of her quietly."

"Understood! I’ll go contact someone right away, but... their fees are a bit high."

"Never mind the cost, spare no expense!"

...

After a thorough examination, the physician stayed up all night to prepare medicine, personally brewing and feeding it to the patient, leaving Zhao Tiangong feeling deeply indebted.

The physician was filled with regret, but with matters having reached this point, there was no other way. After assessing the severity of the injuries—the patient’s breath was as thin as a gossamer thread, his life force nearing its end—they gathered to discuss a strategy. It seemed beyond saving, but for now, they had no choice but to treat the dying horse as if it were still alive.

The off-road vehicle had been modified; steel bars were welded across the windshield and side windows. In such sweltering heat, they had to keep all four windows open for ventilation to conserve fuel. The driver maintained a speed of sixty, only slowing down gradually once the coastline appeared ahead.

In the past, many believed that farmers should stick to farming and nothing else. Aside from fulfilling corvée labor for the imperial court, it was best for them to stay honestly on their land. This way, they were easier to manage, and trouble was less likely to arise.

"You damn... are you playing me? You took so many favors from me, and now you’re turning your back on me?" The man in the overcoat flew into a rage. He crushed his cigarette butt, grabbed the portly director by the collar, and made as if to strike him.

After resting for a while, they set off again, but something about the road felt off. It felt as though they were being watched, though Ye Tan didn't care; it was of no great consequence anyway.

At this moment, Shen Yu had no idea she was in grave danger. She was still fuming over Chu Yun’s nonchalant reaction after seeing her body, though she couldn't understand why Chu Yun remained standing guard in her room.

Given the circumstances, if he didn't take this chance to brutally crush Qiu Mu, he feared he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly for weeks after returning.

"Your meal, sir." Before long, Yue Lingshan brought over the items Wang Jin had requested.

Having unleashed the most formidable power in the world, how could that massive creature possibly survive? From a distance of a hundred meters, the beast had its life taken by a flying sword hurled by this severely wounded man—a sword strike from a hundred paces, sealing the throat in a single blow.

Even if Qin Shou knew of the relationship between them, some things simply could not be brought out into the open.

Whether it was a psychological effect or the influence of Qin Shou, Du Xiaoyue’s first shot hit a 9.3.

Many thoughts began to flood the minds of the onlookers, but for Xiao Feng, this sensation of breaking free from gravity was truly exhilarating.

Originally, he had intended to keep it for his own use, but since Hong Xiuquan liked it, Li Aotian had no choice but to begrudgingly part with it.

Ye Tian’s head was not only packed full of river sand, but many tree roots were coiled around his body, binding him tight.

However, to her despair, the others were all besieged by bronze corpses and had no spare capacity to come to her rescue.

In previous years when this project was held, there had been many deeply moving, er... I mean, many deeply moving tragedies and comedies.

As soon as these words fell, those who were preparing to bolt from the hall were struck dumb with terror, scrambling and stumbling as they retreated back into the banquet hall.

"Gentlemen, this area requires a ticket for entry. Do you actually have tickets? If so, please present them." The two men exchanged a glance and spoke with feigned composure.

The pool water, which could instantly corrode solid rock into nothingness, felt to Gu Feng like nothing more than ordinary water, possessing no corrosive properties at all.
