Chapter 109: Mushrooms
Wang Daniu burst out of the room in a panic, his entire body covered in black soot, clutching a wooden stake tightly to his chest. The moment he emerged, he broke into loud sobs, wailing in anguish, “What am I supposed to do now? How will I manage? My mushrooms, my precious mushrooms!”
Shu Yiming’s house wasn’t far from Wang Daniu’s, so at the first sound of commotion, he stepped outside.
In the very next moment, as the shovel struck the grave, the air was suddenly filled with the raucous cries of countless crows.
His sworn sister possessed a special constitution; she could have gone to the Royal Academy long ago, yet she chose to remain in Icefield City, even persuading one of the empire’s top mentors to secretly protect the Jing family.
The class was never meant to be a permanent place—at most, it was a stepping stone. In the end, Ren Yan would still take them out into the world, to meet more people and experience more things.
Dong Muqing’s gaze was deep and impenetrable. Though the words sounded mad, they were, in fact, the most fitting explanation.
By now, tales of the legendary peerless spear and the mysterious Twelve Swords of the Dark Yin had faded into obscurity—only this chaotic style of fighting remained.
Yet Ji Chang still harbored hope: that through diplomatic exchanges, he might delay the war, buying more time for Xiqi to strengthen its military. At the same time, handing over Jiang Ziya was a gesture to show they harbored no treasonous intent.
Of course, after this line of thought, Ren Yan finally understood why companies no longer bothered to recruit newcomers.
It wasn’t that they were unwilling to catch fish—it was that they had to keep a constant watch on the prisoners. If even one escaped, the consequences would be dire.
Aside from the sword stone created on the first day, there were eleven others, making a total of forty-four earth-shaking sword techniques.
Yet the ancient battlefield where the Azure Flame Realm was located concealed opportunities and treasures almost untouched by anyone.
After all, he was no longer in the Body Refinement phase; there was only a single realm’s difference now, so he wouldn’t be so easily suppressed.
Just as they were at their wits’ end, a chorus of angry shouts echoed from the gates of Xiyu City before them.
Du Ge suspected that Panuniverse Entertainment had credited him with the achievements of other alien warriors—like elevating the status of craftsmen, promoting commerce, and granting tax exemptions.
As she spoke, she seemed a little embarrassed, pursing her lips into a smile as she smoothed her wind-tossed hair.
He recited the incantation to send off the spirit, prompting Master of Flames to leave contentedly, promising to return if given the chance.
For example, it was common for the deputy mayor to also serve as the director of the municipal bureau, but people would usually call him Mayor rather than Director.
Wen Xien paused at a corner, turning her head to see the man staring blankly at the river.
Looking at Chu Chao’s clearly healed medical report, Lu Feng pulled out the previous one for comparison and, for a moment, doubted everything he knew.
Meng Hao eyed the chicken on the ground. Though he was tempted to start a fight, he decided to let it go this once for his mother’s sake.
His body was no longer what it used to be; it always felt as if even the slightest breeze could topple him.
The True Dragon’s long song, the Immortal Phoenix bathing in flames, the White Tiger leaping skyward, and the Black Tortoise forging a path—these grand manifestations of the Dao surged and emerged one after another in dazzling succession.
The moment she heard the familiar footsteps, she leapt to the entryway and opened the door, ready to welcome him home after a long absence.
Ever since Shilina became her friend, Mu Shiyu no longer clung to Xie Lu; now, she spent all her days with Shilina.
This was Prefect Geng Qiu of Hezhou. He had happened to be out when he received the news, so he came to see for himself.
Naturally, Zhang Yuan dared not let Ye Tianjiao know the truth. He simply plucked a few blades of grass, moistened them with his own saliva, and returned to apply them to her.
“Li Ge, I’ve heard you handled your tasks very well. Even the Second Master praised you, saying you are a man worth employing,” Steward Li said with a smile.
Zhou Yunzhen seethed with anger, thinking that after finally getting a chance to rest, the Governor’s Mansion just had to disturb him. It was truly unbearable.
