Chapter 175: Making a Fortune

The Loulan Grand Hotel, top floor.

It was reputed to be the Yang family’s private reception hall.

Under Wei Qi’s guidance, Lu Fei entered the place. The moment he stepped out of the gold-inlaid elevator and onto the top-floor corridor, he was overwhelmed by its extravagant splendor.

Every member of the service staff was a beautiful woman without exception. In the hall at the end of the corridor stood numerous tables for card games. Opening at five in the afternoon, it was the favorite haunt of the wealthy from the Western Regions.

…

The more Lexus thought about how Lei Zhengtian had actually done such a thing for Bai Xue, the more furious he became.

Seeing the smiles on the three faces, Yu Tianhen shook his head with a laugh, then turned serious. There were some matters he no longer wished to delay even for a moment.

Moreover, when Gu Qiulan heard that Liu Lang had taken a liking to her, her heart gave an inexplicable little leap, and she found herself filled with an equally inexplicable anticipation.

The Red Dust Fairy softly uttered a single sentence, and Long Wei’s pupils suddenly contracted.

He had learned only two life skills. One was the Art of Fine Crafting, which he used to forge weapons. He was currently at level three, which was considered quite impressive among crafting players.

After Yan Mingcheng finished speaking, he sent the group leader back to the formation and began addressing everyone.

At once, a jade-green Lotus of Life appeared in his right eye. He took another step, blood spraying from his mouth as every pore across his body split apart.

The traffic officer’s voice was filled with helplessness. Sweat trickled from his forehead down his face and fell to the ground without even stirring up the dust. Li Wei understood the difficulties faced by these public servants, thanked him, and turned to return to the car.

Although, deep down, they hoped Yu Tianhen could resolve the situation, judging by their age, they simply could not believe that the things they themselves could not understand were within this young man’s ability either.

One had to understand that Lin Tao had passed the alchemist examination only after refining the Qi-Gathering Powder to the Perfected Realm. What did that signify?

“I am only responsible for you captains. Each captain need only remember the respective duties of the elite guards. If any assignment is mishandled, whoever is directly responsible will be punished, and the captain will bear joint responsibility. Is that clear?” Zhan Xiu said to the captains once more.

Was it because she had just bitten him so fiercely, tearing his arm into a horrifying mess?

Third, please direct your attention toward the newly arisen religion known as the Twenty-Second Century and uncover the mastermind behind it. At the same time, safeguard the few Netherworld artifacts already in your possession. Do not allow them to fall into anyone else’s hands—not even mine.

“So weak, after all. Hmph!” Xinba was somewhat surprised. He did not know that those dozen or so Sky Warriors had suffered the backlash of the Qi-Gathering Pills; otherwise, they would never have been so easy to deal with.

Fan Xueyi nodded lightly. The Grand Princess would certainly be present at the banquet, so it would be better for the two of them to have as little contact as possible.

“If you are willing to explain, I can listen.” He looked at her and spoke as though conceding, an unmistakable desolation unconsciously surfacing in his voice.

The veteran general, drenched from head to toe in blood, had been roused to a murderous frenzy. Yet after the engagement began, his army remained comparatively intact.

Tong Guaiguai felt as though she were about to faint. The distinctive scent of a man enveloped her entire body, slowing her breathing and making her feel as if her head were filling with blood.

The radiance in the sky faded, and a figure drifted down from midair. It was Huan Lingyue, her face deathly pale. She took several steps forward, then seemed to have exhausted all her strength and leaned slightly ahead. Gu Fan hurried forward to support her, took out the pills he had just managed to obtain, poured two or three into his palm, and held them out for Huan Lingyue to swallow.

With a clatter, the prison door suddenly swung open. The corner of a yellow robe appeared before him at the same time.

Ever since the Xiao family woman had married into the Mu family, Mu Qingge’s official career had proceeded smoothly, and he had risen steadily through the ranks. How could that not have made her increasingly overbearing?

Xie Le thought for a while, yet still had no idea how to continue. In the end, he decided to play the emotional card first.
