Chapter 74: Heartache Beyond Words
Lu Qingqing was furious. No matter what was said, good or bad, how could he just fill Manman’s head with such nonsense?
“Xie Zhiyun!”

“He’s always like that. Sometimes…”
The biggest protests came from America, because they had no way to purchase Chen Yidao’s anti-cancer ‘medicine.’ In response, Chen Yidao held a press conference, humbly stating that he didn’t have the ability to do business in America, as he couldn’t afford such high taxes.
On the other side, the commando team’s six Czech ZB26 light machine guns, serving as support firepower, all remained silent. The Bushido spirit of the Japanese soldiers, in the end, could not overcome mortal flesh. When a comrade beside them was struck, blood spraying into the air and brains scattering, no one could stay unafraid—the Japanese were no exception.
Little did he expect that with just a few casual words, he would obtain such a priceless necklace. It seemed this tactic deserved to be expanded in the future. As Lu Lin thought this, he unabashedly put on the necklace. With the two skills it granted, not only was his life more secure, but his speed would soon make enemies tremble.
The next day, the entire Xi family of five rode in the spacious SUV that Xi Yixiao drove, heading for the sales center of Ten Mile Manor, set up at the West Suburb Metro Station.
The man in black looked slightly surprised, but said nothing more about the timing. He only cupped his hands to Jin Niang again, then, expressionless, leapt onto the carriage. With a crack of his long whip, the horse raised its hooves, pulling the carriage away in a cloud of dust.
At the same time, Zeng Hao imagined: if only his Devouring Gold Mantis could reach such numbers, and he could command them in battle—what awe-inspiring power that would be.
After all, the Celestial Star Cultivators’ Alliance was founded in secrecy and remained little known. But there are no walls so tight that the wind will not find a crack; sooner or later, the alliance would be revealed to the world.
“Zixuan, don’t worry. Go to bed early; you have class tomorrow. Don’t show up with panda eyes. Heh, but don’t worry—even if you do, I’ll be responsible for kissing them away every day. I promise, it’s the perfect remedy for dark circles.” The old rogue glanced over to see Old Zhao gleefully fiddling with that expensive Canon DSLR camera not far away.

Even as Wang Yan staggered unsteadily, sharp stones piercing through her thin stockings and slicing her delicate skin, she gritted her teeth and pressed on.
Knowing that such a rare opportunity would vanish in a flash, Wan Qingchun, who had devoted his life to the study of alchemy and believed his heart long since stilled, found himself unable to suppress his excitement. The desire to become a disciple did not fade after Chu Yuan’s gentle refusal; instead, it burned all the brighter.
