Chapter 45: Auntie's Fierce Temper

"How about I go myself?" Jiang Jiuyue suggested, but instantly reconsidered. "A mere dairy farm hardly deserves my personal attention. What terms did they offer?"

Jiang Jiuyue was applying ointment, seated not far from the counter. After forty lashes, she was nearly spent.

Yet seeing the bustling business, the pain in her body lessened considerably.

...

Within the spatial barrier, the air was saturated with potent, wild energy molecules—purple, red, orange—swirling in a misty glow. Wu Hao sat cross-legged in the midst of the fluctuating energy layers, the dual forces of wild power and soul power erupting in full.

"Don’t move yet, your wounds were just dressed by the nurse," Lu Tianming smiled gently at her. Moments ago, Hanhan had fainted on the street, giving Lu Tianming a fright. He rushed her to the hospital, and fortunately, she was unharmed.

In the face of life and death, everything else seemed trivial. She was struck by a sudden clarity: a lover lost could be found anew, friends gone could be replaced, but family—once lost, was gone forever. Helpless, trembling, she leaned quietly against the wall, waiting for news.

Poisoning had not caused Wang Cheng direct harm, but rather indirect financial losses, so he had no sense of impending danger.

Qin Ming had become a guest elder of Hundred Flowers Palace, which changed everything. It elevated the situation to a contest between two great sects. Unless Star Palace was willing to risk war with Hundred Flowers Palace, Qin Ming was untouchable.

"Let’s see where you run now." Long Tianyi waved his hand, gently caressing the ‘Spirit Rhinoceros Demon Ring’.

Han Yao glared at Wang Feng with venomous eyes, murderous intent surging toward him as he growled low.

Madwoman Qiu Yun could never have imagined someone would ambush her by the waterfall. She knew Huo Tianya wouldn’t dare—he was firmly in her grasp. But she hadn’t accounted for Xiao Guo striking her, nor for Huo Tianya merely shouting in agreement, then falling silent, seemingly approving Xiao Guo’s actions.

Seeing Wang Feng’s astonished expression, thinking he was a Sky Pattern Master, the old man assumed he had guessed the truth. Pleased, he grinned and boasted.

"This time, I hope you can once again shine brilliantly and win honor for our sect," Sky Tyrant Tiger said solemnly to Wu Hao.

A soft-skinned creature hurled a splitting blade at me, striking my leg and shattering against my glowing shell. You sing only of death. I too can sing that song. I unleashed the power of sunlight; sharp crystals erupted from the earth, piercing flesh, splitting bone.

"Rest assured, this matter is mine to handle. I’ll notify you at once. I hope for your help as well, so believe me, I’m not so foolish at a time like this!" Gu Tianming nodded and quickly spoke to Lin Xiao.

Brad led Xuanxuan and her companions into the lounge. Inside, Xuanxuan saw Mie-chan, who hurried to greet her.

He had sensed unusual activity nearby and suspected they were being watched, so he alerted his comrades early. Though they were rescued, the price was not small.

If Xue Xingfu still failed to grasp Li Yuntian’s hint, he would truly be hopeless.

"Not only that, I must tell you a secret—I do not have long left. If you don’t know these things, my life’s regrets will be unbearable!" Elder Wu Feiyan said, leaning on her cane.

Had the great sword not been hanging above her head, she would certainly have chased after Li Feiyan and dragged her back.

"Really? But why was she expressionless just now?" Li Nai grabbed Liu Haocheng’s arm. Hearing this, Li Nai felt uneasy; he actually hoped Jiu’er would misunderstand something.
