Chapter 139: Suspicion

In her eyes, transmigrators stood above everyone else.

Beiyu rescued her, and Jiang Jiuyue gave her enthusiastic approval again and again, overcome with emotion. She threw her arms around Beiyu and sobbed until she could barely breathe.

“I really don’t want to die a second time. Since Heaven has brought us together here, sister, we ought to build an empire of our own.”

Jiang Jiuyue proclaimed her ambitions with fervor.

……

Yang Xu raised a hand in a gesture of acceptance and called out, “You may rise!” The ceremonial court assembly imitated the order of the imperial court, causing one’s desire for power to swell without limit. It felt as though all creation bowed beneath one’s feet—an intoxicating addiction.

The two spoke at the same time once more. Tang Shi stared at Yue Qiniang in astonishment. What was this girl saying? She wanted to take him outside?

Firearms were not so simple that one could create them merely by imagining them. Even after understanding their structure, being able to conjure something extraordinarily realistic through imagination did not mean it could become a spiritual artifact suitable for Jun Qian.

“You’ll find out soon enough.” After saying this, Wang Siqi no longer paid any attention to Lin Bufan. Lin Bufan did not ask anything further either. As long as she did not violate his moral boundaries, he would do whatever she asked, for he did, after all, owe her.

There were less than two months left before that damned concert. Could he really take the stage in his condition? No—more to the point, could he really learn this thing?

Ye Xi seemed as though all the strength had been drained from his body. He abruptly crouched down and began wailing, his cries tearing at the heart.

The others slowly came to their senses. They approached the pool and peered downward, wondering what might be concealed beneath its dark, gloomy waters.

Hearing this, Horton grew agitated. Being able to contribute something to his master was the greatest honor of his life. He was just about to speak when, suddenly, a strange bird shot out of the water and began circling above his head, cawing loudly.

“Consort Qing, this servant advises you to drink it,” Pan Zhen’an said sarcastically, holding out the bowl of medicine.

Although Wang Guangli insisted that they stay for a meal, the three still took their leave. After all, under the old customs, a man who had married into the family was not considered one of its own.

The couple who had caused trouble during the road construction were said to have been thrown into prison. The authorities could not interrogate anything useful out of them, so they gave them twenty strokes of the cane and locked them up for several more days before releasing them.

“Tianfeng Mountain? I remember Big Brother is going to take part too. Will we be able to see him?” Liu Feng hurriedly turned around at that, asking with a face full of hope.

Sanye blew in the cold wind for a while before beginning to feel chilled. Whether in her previous life or this one, she had always been able to tolerate heat but feared the cold. So she decided to head back.

Big Brother, why did you catch a ling bird for Little Sister without bringing Second Brother along? Sigh, what a splendid idea—to catch a demon bird for Little Sister to ride. How had he never thought of it?

Old An had lived for several decades, yet this was the first time he had ever encountered a young man so richly endowed with spiritual energy.

Sun Yuwei clearly realized something. She instinctively tried to turn around, only to find her path inadvertently blocked by the steward.

Chu Jiajia froze for a moment, lightly pursed her lips, and silently sent a reply through her thoughts.

Cailing stood where she was, hesitating miserably. If she really slapped herself in the mouth in front of so many people, where would she put her face afterward? Eunuch Zhou had always cared deeply about his dignity. If he learned that she had made him lose face, he might never want her again.

Just as she was suffering unbearably, a pair of large hands seized the collar of her school uniform from behind and lifted her bodily off the ground.

Not only did he refuse to leave, but when he saw that Dong Xinyue had been there for so long without receiving any of the things the hospital was supposed to provide, he found a nurse, slipped her some money, and had her hurry everything over.

The Yiteng Club came from Lin Yi’s hometown of Harbin. The team’s strength was mediocre, though it did have several fairly promising young players. Lin Yi was entirely uninterested in any of that; he was merely curious about Camacho’s attitude toward him.
