Chapter 45: I’m Moving In with Your Team

"Didn't I make it clear? The Shi family is under my protection. You bastards, how dare you bring chicken manure here to humiliate them?"

Yi Zhe was furious.

Several mercenaries were beating Chen Huaihai and his men until they cried out to their ancestors.

Qu Zhongshun's corpse on the ground seemed to have been deliberately ignored.

Neither Yi Zhe nor the other mercenaries noticed it.

Amidst the chaos, Shi Yuebai's eyes fell upon Chen Huaihai and Qu Zhongshun and the others...

Although that reporter had already issued a statement, she still could not believe that the two of them were truly innocent.

After Nian Mu left, Vivian specifically looked up what Amphotericin B was used for, only to discover that it was an antibiotic.

Be that as it may, seeing Jiang Qi's poised and measured demeanor, Cai Yan felt a surge of inexplicable favorable impression. After all, the people she usually saw every day in the capital were arrogant scions riding on the coattails of their prestigious families; Jiang Qi's effortless elegance today precisely suited her taste.

On the other side, the three members of Fairy Tail, who had already left the town, were now quietly walking along the path toward the temporary habitat of the wyverns. Neither of them spoke, which was somewhat different from their usual lively and cheerful demeanor.

Jiang Renjie's eyes widened in fury, his face filled with terror. Seeing that man's action, he was about to speak out to stop him.

"Sis, how could you be like this?" Ye Jinwei shook off her hand and said with bitter resentment, "You've latched onto someone so wealthy who can pull out hundreds of thousands with a flick of his finger, why are you still eyeing the meager money at home?"

A bystander, finding the scene difficult to watch, tried to smooth things over: "President Chen, this girl was found by President Wang for one hundred thousand, and she's still untouched. Since President Chen is still fond of her, how about this—let me give mine to you instead."

"No need. Aren't you going to that security guard's home? I'll go with you," Li Ni shook her head. In her current state, she was entirely unsuited to return to the villa.

Su Yao's face turned slightly pale, and her fingers curled up on the table, clearly furious.

Having stationed himself in Luoyang, he dispatched troops to search the areas of Mianchi, Mount Xiao, and Hangu Pass, and sure enough, he flushed out numerous Wu military ambush units.

"Ask for leave? Why didn't I know about this?" Taking leave without going through him, her direct supervisor, made Yi Fan somewhat angry, as he felt disrespected.

That leopard cast its cold, merciless eyes upon Chen Huang who was singing at the top of his lungs, and then immediately scampered far away, evidently unable to bear such a noise. Seeing this, Chen Huang breathed a sigh of relief, though he did not stop singing.

"How did it feel inside the Golden Scale Pond? I wonder what three treasures you chose?" Murong Kuangbo also asked out of curiosity.

It was precisely this reliance on her strength that gave Yang Huilan the confidence and foundation to set off ahead of schedule, ignoring Deng Yulong's attempts to make her stay.

Before that, however, it would be best for her to leave first. She had no desire to get in the way of Yiyi's romantic endeavors here.

Changlian Xin was currently plagued by anguish and fury in his heart, because his eldest son, Changlian Ping, whom he had always trusted, actually intended to confine him within his own estate. What shocked him even more was that among them were the figures of many loyal retainers.

"Consort Yan, this is the midday meal specially prepared for you by the King. He was afraid that, being new here, you might not yet care for the food from our side," the attendant explained. Qitie looked at the exquisite dishes before her, every single one of which was a famous delicacy of the Qi Kingdom. Just looking at them was enough to make her mouth water—no, wait.

"But there is simply nothing to do inside the back room!" Rimei argued anxiously upon seeing Takeda Harunobu's firm attitude.

"My name is Qi Sisi. Who are you, and why are you holding my mother?" Sisi asked with a straight face. Qi Yuhan, however, burst into hearty laughter, leaving Sisi completely bewildered. Now Qitie didn't even need to explain; with a face identical to his, no one in the world would believe she wasn't his child.

If it were the latter, they would surely exhaust every possible means to pursue the Daoist Priestess Taohua, whose beauty was in no way inferior to Tang Xue'er.
