Volume 1, Chapter 63: The Textile Mill Opens! Women Hold Up Half the Sky!

The reason old Mrs. Zhou did not expose her on the spot was simply out of regard for the many years of friendship between the two families, sparing her some remaining dignity.

Another possibility is that once the soul leaves the physical body, it becomes extremely fragile. Even a warrior at the Postnatal Realm could use their own vital blood to melt away a spiritual body.

Once those individuals trying to sell clues realized that the information could not be sold and no one wanted it, even if just to prevent others from making a fortune, they would eventually make their clues public—such is human nature.

That level of comprehension was so profound that even the Nine Heavens Protectors found it unfathomable and completely beyond their understanding.

Guo Lin was originally unable to perceive the energy of karmic merit and vow power, but after acquiring the Divine Soul Avatar, he could sense it clearly.

Trying to prevent these competitors from leaping into the black hole was terribly difficult; she could think of no immediate solution. Since she could not stop them, she had no choice but to... race against time.

Just as he was thinking this, Qin Shixu saw Su Ruyue pick up her chopsticks and directly transfer the corn buns from the bowls of the three little ones into his own bowl.

However, an unexpected turn of events occurred in this grand competition with the emergence of two variables, Chen Zitian and Fang Yu. Their strength was so formidable that even Jiang Fan lacked the confidence to secure a victory.

He actually bought this as a gift for her? Was he trying to win her favor? But why would he do such a thing?

Shang Xiufang's ethereal zither music drifted out from the cold and desolate Eastern Courtyard, sounding like a performer harboring intense emotional turmoil yet maintaining a stern and detached attitude, using music to interpret the joys and sorrows, partings and reunions, rises and falls of the mortal world.

Another man, similarly attired in a lieutenant general's uniform, led a group of officers over to Zhao Chunliang's competition group.

However, he was currently unable to move; otherwise, he could have apologized to Su Liuchuer. Unfortunately, his body had not fully recovered, and at present, he lacked even the strength to move a single finger, let down by his inability to even crawl out of the medical pod.

Zheng Weimin decided to go all the way now. With the evidence in hand, what was there to fear? He hoisted a bar stool and began smashing everything inside the bar—the fixtures, bottles, and glasses—creating absolute chaos. Shards of glass, drinks, beverages, and stainless-steel cups clattered and rolled all over the floor, leaving the bar in a complete shambles.

Chen Ergou's voice was ruined, making it impossible for him to shout out "No laughing," but the moment he saw Chen Fugui's mouth open, Chen Fugui actually stopped smiling. Turning his face away, he left his younger brother—who had never been willing to call him older brother—with a towering, majestic back reminiscent of the Changbai Mountains.

"I'm sorry, President Liu, but we are just following orders. I hope you can remain calm. We are merely investigating the matter clearly with no other intentions." District Mayor Zhou Weiwen of the Hongwan District glanced sideways at Vice District Mayor Lin Deming, who was standing to the side looking utterly embarrassed, and then turned with a smile to Liu Jie.

"Let's go and take a look." Upon hearing that Zhang Qing had brought the people in, Cai Ji immediately hurried to the backyard accompanied by Linglan and A Jiu.

"It is quite beautiful... I was just lost in thought, not spacing out." Qin Fen felt somewhat guilty saying this, as Song Jia's approachable charm during this period had simply been too powerful.

No matter how great his courage was, no matter how daring he might be, he would never dare to smash this wooden door to pieces in a single blow. Everyone understood—everyone knew very well—that no matter how powerful an elder's authority might be, it was strictly confined within the sect. Here in the auction house, those elders didn't even have the qualifications to carry shoes for the staff.

I am off to work. There is some breakfast left for me in the kitchen. When you leave, please turn the lock from the inside first, so that pulling the door shut from the outside will automatically lock it. Also, it was very nice meeting you. By the way, don't forget to take your medicine when you leave.

Yet, because they were registered in the household registry, they all remained safe and sound. In this way, the household registration of the Great Zhou citizens acted like a protective umbrella for them, and their lives gradually began to return to normal.

The shares of Jiaye finally hit the lower limit, and the shares of Chenlou also plummeted to a certain extent. However, Chenlou's shares had not dropped to an uncontrollable level, and it was finally time for Jiaye to make its move.

A certain nerve in Gu Yu's brain was struck hard, as if by a sudden doorbell, and his vigilance spiked instinctively.

This time, however, he did not plan to continue comprehending the three stances of Heaven-Opening. Instead, he wanted to memorize the subsequent two stances—World-Extinction and Void-Shattering—and comprehend them gradually over time.

Jiang Sheng waited until the next day to tell his mother about the Nine Emperors Society. Because the events of the Nine Emperors Society lasted from morning till night—the Pear Garden opera troupe had to parade around Peking city before six in the morning—if Jiang Sheng had to travel from Sanlitun to Pear Garden Town on top of that, it would be at least nine o'clock, so he stayed overnight at Pear Garden.

Though inwardly startled, Hu Xiao was swift in his movements as spiritual energy surged through him, and his figure instantly darted far away.

As time passed, Shi Tian was astonished to discover that the surrounding black energy had actually diminished somewhat, easing his burden considerably. However, Shi Tian's heart remained heavy, because the decrease in black energy could only mean that the Corpse King had attacked Yue Rou and the others. Without him there, Yue Rou and her subordinate zombies simply could not hold off the Corpse King.

"True Monarch Youtian, True Monarch Lufeng, True Monarch Zhouji, the matter regarding Changtian City has come to an end. The remaining tasks will be left to you. The demons have fled, so we must remain vigilant. Therefore, we shall first head to the Pure Yang Sect, where there is a teleportation array." After a moment, Xuan'ao of the Kunlun Sect spoke.

After all, in this era, the deeds of the black shopkeeper Baidi were far too legendary in Ionia... and far too many people knew that this high-ranking streamer, whose main game was playing tanks and AFK-ing under the tower, was precisely the legendary head of the four great flamers on the Chinese server.
