Volume 1, Chapter 61: Controlling the Grain Transport

Thirty taels of silver a month was by no means a small income even in the capital.
To think that a boatman's earnings were almost close to half the salary of a Censor-in-Chief.
Guo Liang raised an eyebrow.
As the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture and a high-ranking official of the third rank, his monthly salary was only thirty-five taels.
He made a rough mental calculation.
"An Imperial-grade Saint? I truly wonder what that realm is like," Athena said with curiosity.
"Your Holiness Glory, do not forget that it is currently us standing in front of the powerhouses of the Dark Divine Realm! If the people of the Dark Divine Realm wish to launch an attack on the Angelic Clan, they must first cross the Radiant Divine Territory and several other divine territories!" said Aurora, the Lord of Brilliance, coldly.
"What? Is being linked arm-in-arm with me really that terrifying?" A miraculous smile appeared on Zhang Yao's face, and though it flashed only briefly, its breathtaking beauty was peerless.
"Wow! I knew it! Captain, Brother Feng, Madman, War Wolf, Boss—I knew you understood me best!" Looking at the neon-flashing characters of the bar, the Drunkard switched through five different titles in a row, excited beyond measure.
Among the group, only Tong Yu was a northerner, and she was not yet accustomed to the southern habit of eating breakfast, so she appeared somewhat uninitiated. She simply ate whatever Lin Xifan handed her, without any pickiness.
As the two continued to fight, Black Scar found himself completely at a loss for words to describe the shock in his heart. He acknowledged that Xu Zhe was formidable—that was something Black Scar agreed with entirely. However, he never expected that Xu Zhe, merely a four-star Origin Master, could actually hold his own against a standard six-star Origin Master like himself.
After Qing He left, Beidou took off her clothes and stepped onto the cobblestone-paved steps, slowly walking into the bath. Resting her back gently against the edge of the pool, she closed her eyes and let out a long sigh, feeling her entire body relax into bliss.
Yet ever since he arrived at the battlefield, although he was surrounded by danger every day and had to keep his nerves on high alert at all times, he could clearly feel that his mind had opened up much more than before. At the very least, he was no longer as icy-cold and lifeless as he had been at the beginning.
Reflecting on how the Black Cloud Armor was indeed a fine treasure, Xu Zhe could not help but mutter why the Headmaster, whom he had never even met, would gift him such a precious item. If it were merely because he had won the title of Adventure King, it seemed a bit excessive.
In truth, Gu Yue remained for precisely this reason as well. Having accidentally injured Nangong Yue, a sense of guilt had taken root in his heart. If he were to leave just like that, this lingering guilt might haunt him for the rest of his life. Only when Nangong Yue's injuries healed and this sense of guilt vanished could he truly find peace.
After all, she believed that before Xindayi knew Chen Juan's gender, he had genuinely and passionately liked him. Yet the disparity was too great, and not being accustomed to using overly profound and sensitive thoughts to drive himself into an extreme obsession, he simply and honestly let the emotion fade away, replacing it with a childish hostility.
Upon arriving in Konoha Village, whenever people checked the timeline and saw the major events and milestones marked there, seeing the Chunin Exams in Konoha always sparked a desire to witness them firsthand.
Lin Yu had invested forty million into Kung Fu Panda, so he needed to secure at least eighty million at the box office just to break even.
"Don't be nervous. If you're really that nervous, just think about what to have for dinner tonight," Su Yan gently patted Fan Jinyu's shoulder and said just before Fan Jinyu went on stage.
Lin Yu tapped his fingers lightly against his thigh, pondering for a moment before asking Mo Xinyu.
Clothes and hair were ablaze with raging fire, consuming the sinful lives of the three. Yet the three of them still stood, refusing to fall, looking like three glaring warning signs shining through the dark night.
