Chapter Ninety-Nine: Gentle Breeze, Blissful Days
I quickly opened my backpack and pulled out the Golden Whip, ready to charge alongside Ye Mo. Suddenly, I heard a furious roar: “Treasure box, who dares to touch my treasure box?”
When I looked up, a fierce ghost nearly two meters tall appeared right in front of us, brandishing a machete and wearing a terrifying expression.
But instead of attacking Ye Mo, the ghost swung the blade wildly at the nearby spirits. “No one is allowed to touch my treasure box. The treasure box belongs to me.”
“Die, all of you, die!”
“Don’t you dare touch my treasure box!”
Had the ghost gone mad?
Ye Mo and I exchanged a glance before shouting, “The treasure box is right here!” and then held it up...
The door opened, and Qin Siyuan finally saw the man who had appeared outside without anyone noticing. A flash of surprise crossed her face, but she said nothing.
The children, lacking the skills of the elder guards, resorted to surrounding the adults to force their compliance.
Before falling asleep, Qing Mengmeng had told her to live on her behalf; their souls had already merged.
She raised her gun and shot Wang Wu straight through, chilling him to the bone. Then, with a flick of her wrist, she pulled the reins and squeezed the horse’s belly with her legs. The horse neighed loudly, galloping forward at full speed.
“How did you handle it?” Murong Jin turned around, looking into Song Jinyu’s bright eyes.
It wasn’t hard to guess. Everyone knew that Chi Qian had no influence in this circle; her agent would never let her take such risks.
The shock of the three from the Blue Banner did not escape Bei Chenxiao’s notice. He stared intently at the interior of the carriage, still unable to understand why Ling Weichu was not there.
Song Jinyu entered the governor’s mansion and looked around. This Lord Liu might really be a decent official.
Lu Jingci lowered her eyes slightly and quietly withdrew her hand from Fu Shaoting’s embrace. Since the lovers had reunited, she should be discreet and avoid them.

“Since Brother Liu asked, it’s naturally no problem. But you know I’m in seclusion. If I go out again, what then...” Li Xiaoyao didn’t refuse but wore a mischievous grin.
Walking through the rubble-strewn street, Jiang Xia saw the former central square—the enormous golden clock tower had collapsed, and the ground was riddled with craters.
Zhao Liqiu returned to headquarters and immediately summoned the patrol teams back under the pretense of a meeting.
Zhen’er hurriedly blew out the glazed lantern inside the carriage. It was pitch black now, impossible to see anything. Sure enough, when the salt soldiers screamed for help, assassins struck unseen in the night, leaving behind numerous weapons before vanishing.
As a surgeon no longer stepping into the dissection room, Qiao An immediately recognized the unique features of this lightbrain.
Li Qiming’s mindset was easy to understand. Zheng Yu had granted him the greatest authority among the four deputy generals, above the other three. Li Qiming justified this trust by managing the Huaxia Grand Hotel meticulously, significantly improving its standards.
After leaving the hotel, Zheng Yu avoided calling Tang Ming to prevent raising suspicion and drove straight to the Yanjing City Safety Supervision Bureau on Huaibai Tree Street.
The intense energy waves radiated outward, breaking the load-bearing pillars. The walls, covered in ancient patterns, shattered.
Cheng Yuanyuan’s third uncle and aunt congratulated Cheng Ziliang and his wife, and every branch of the Cheng family, both main and collateral, immediately sought out Cheng Yuanyuan’s household. Everyone knew they had gained a powerful ally and clung to them tightly.
The room was neat and spotless, yet not a ghostly trace remained. Suddenly, a yellow shadow darted out and ran outside.
The lightning tribulation was actually attracted by the old fox, not something Xu Changsheng encountered by chance. By carefully avoiding the direct lightning, Xu Changsheng would not be harmed but instead bathed in the fierce Yang energy of the thunder, gaining great benefits.
Beneath Nagai Kafu’s feet, the sand seemed alive with countless writhing snakes, leaving winding trails akin to earthworms beneath the surface.
“Enough, don’t look at me like that. I truly am your ancestor,” Ji Zhantian said, catching Haotian’s strange gaze, thinking he still doubted his identity.
A storage ring, capable of holding items, was extremely rare. Even a low-grade one-cubic-meter ring cost ten thousand gold coins, far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The Twin-Headed Flame Tiger was incredibly powerful, massive in size with two terrifying heads. When it ran, its body radiated a red glow. Anyone struck by this light would explode on the spot.
After speaking, he opened the door and left without even glancing at the sobbing “Fu Jianxian” sitting on the chair.

Lu Lanlian sighed faintly, choosing not to correct him. Given their current relationship, “Miss Lu” was already the utmost formality, yet an indescribable irritation churned within her.
At that moment, a report came from behind, signaling the return of the demon scouts who had gone out earlier.
From all over Dongzhou, countless people arrived daily to enter the Divine Martial Imperial Capital, many of whom were experts in formation arts.
The second option was even less advisable. Dongzhou’s spiritual energy was thin, and spiritual stones scarce. Although Tianyu Sect claimed to be the top sect, it did not have an abundance of stones to waste. Besides, no one had anticipated the situation escalating to this extent.
Originally furious from Lu Zhan’s vexing words, Xie Wu’s lips involuntarily curled into a smile upon hearing Xiao Muqing’s remark.
“You’er, I won’t let you die,” Zhong Qing’s eyes shimmered with tears as she gripped Yuchi You’s arm tighter, clinging to the final moments of joy and attachment.
Even the Red Rainbow and Jiang Liu’er were wounded and retreating repeatedly, clearly intending to leave.
After Su Hang’s return, Qiu Shaoze had been busy and had completely ignored Shen Zhishuang. Coming to see him now could only mean trouble, perhaps even a summons for punishment.
A brutal, bloodthirsty roar erupted from the spotted wolf beast as its massive form dashed toward the man in black like a streak of red lightning, emanating murderous intent.
However, Zeng Fanyong had his own weakness: his skill with firearms was still lacking, leaving much room for improvement.
“That’s because the goose keeps biting and twisting, so it hurts,” Lin Yi explained.
“Big sister,” Xie Shi’s expression changed when he saw Xie Wu, but he still had to greet her.
Mina looked at the menu, troubled. Many of the dishes she wanted to eat were likely prohibited. Yet refusing to eat made her crave even more. After such a rare day off, could she really give up so easily?
