Chapter 49: Climbing the Social Ladder

Lu Ciying could hardly contain her excitement, pointing at the items in the courtyard as she spoke.

"The Ninth Prince personally sent someone to propose marriage. From now on, I am the Ninth Princess Consort. Sister, aren't you happy for me?"

Lu Qingqing let out a faint smile.

"Of course I am happy."

...

Thinking of Ma Wulong, I realized I still hadn't mentioned the trip to Jinping to him. I wondered what he would think, so I took out my phone and called him directly.

In the third layer, various families were competing with their bids, and the price soared to six hundred and fifty thousand! At such a level, ordinary people could no longer participate.

"Pass down the order! All soldiers, charge forward! He only knows some tricks for dealing with puppets! I don't believe he has three heads and six arms and can withstand my two thousand elite troops!" Xiao Dan commanded.

Guo Jia nodded. Originally, Guo Jia had planned to use Gao Fu as bait and surround to attack reinforcements, but Deng Ai went a step further and suggested directly attacking Fulousha, which added a lot of difficulty, since it was the enemy's capital and surely heavily guarded. Guo Jia voiced his doubts, wondering how Deng Ai would explain.

Liu Bingyi narrowed his eyes and finally turned away. That birthday, for Huo Chengjun, was the most special, and one she would never forget. After Liu Bingyi left, Huo Chengjun's tears finally fell; she collapsed weakly, leaning against the wall, staring at the empty room where all joy of the birthday had vanished.

When I heard it was Second Artillery, I stepped forward and shook his hand. After all, I would need his help in the future, so I tried to be as polite as possible.

Jing Cheng pondered for a long time. Even if he no longer harbored any illusions about Dai Jin, he realized that, time and again, he had taken away the most important people in her life. He knew he had deeply wronged her. At the very least, in Jing Cheng's heart, he needed to give her an explanation.

Liu Qian looked displeased, but in front of everyone, he couldn't lose his temper. Moreover, Mao Zhong had once saved his life and was fiercely loyal. So he merely gritted his teeth and twitched his broom-shaped eyebrows.

What fascinated Wanwan was not anything else, but Dai Jin's remark: "Even the best coroner couldn't figure out what marks were left on the body."

"I know, I know! When I see him, I'll definitely pass it on!" Azure Qilin hadn't expected that the person he was impersonating was in debt everywhere. No wonder he was willing to share an identity. Turns out, he wanted Azure Qilin to take the blame for him, and Azure Qilin wore an embarrassed expression the whole time.

Before Xie Half-Ghost could finish his words, a melody from a golden bell echoed from the corridor. Immediately, chaotic footsteps approached from all directions.

Next, the four bosses looked at the loot dropped by the boss. The amount was unknown, but there were four pieces of equipment: a weapon, clothes, shoes, and a hat. Though all were platinum-grade, some were useful and some were not.

Hand in hand, they first stepped into a clothing store. Coincidentally, it was a shop specializing in outfits for couples.

"It's nothing, but why did you bring 'Bichon' back? Isn't it supposed to be in Hokkaido?" Twice now, Ouyang Yingqi had been startled by 'Bichon'. While she didn't dislike the dog, she was slowly developing a psychological shadow.

"Oh, I get it. You're saying that if Murong really is about to face a tribulation, after the 'Thunder Tribulation,' her body will be very weak. We can take advantage of that opportunity to kill her, right?" Ouyang Xue said excitedly.

"You can't leave!" The flood dragon bared its teeth at her, revealing sharp, scythe-like fangs.

Yan Zhehan wanted to help Shen Mengyao sit on the sofa, but seeing the messy state of the sofa, he hesitated.
