Chapter 142: One Cannot Compare Oneself to Others

Wang Liqin covered her mouth in utter astonishment. She had never experienced anything like this herself. Now that she heard Hu Mengdie recount it, learning that the other woman had been coerced into doing such disgusting things merely to survive, she could not help but show a look of pity in her eyes.

A few seconds later, several glistening tears welled up in her starry eyes.

“Uh... (⊙...”

Some of the daily necessities and consumables that could not be produced within the manor’s territory were purchased from Rhine City.

Su Nianhe was incensed when she heard this. What a roundabout solution—why not take such a roundabout approach with her own career?

Though the two of them had been married for three years, before she returned home last month and began working for the Jin Group, she and Jin Chenyu had seen each other only a handful of times. For two people who were nearly strangers to suddenly begin living together, the thought alone was enough to make things awkward.

If, when the heavenly treasures had ripened, they did not immediately set out for them but instead fought among themselves, would that not be putting the cart before the horse?

After notifying the various households, Tang Jizong went to stake out the entrance of the Xiao residence. He watched Yan Xiaoyuan enter with his own eyes, and watched him leave with his own eyes as well.

Unfortunately, the Chaotic Martial Soul was only at the sixth level for now, and could not directly devour an eighth-level Golden Armored Bee Queen.

Even a Spirit King Realm cultivator could not suppress the power of his soul, much less forcibly seize his Heavenly Soul Seal.

The crimson sea of flowers swayed in the breeze. Light and shadow flashed across it, gilding the blossoms in gold. The radiance pierced the dewdrops resting on the petals, refracting into a rainbow-colored glow.

The dozen or so fierce guards from the rice shop rushed over, while Blade Thirteen and the others placed their hands on the hilts of their swords, ready for a full-scale clash.

The seven of them had been hunted throughout Great Rui, fleeing from place to place. For more than half a year, they had not enjoyed a single day of peace.

Lin Baiyu took up her bow and arrows and walked toward the place where the birds had gathered. Shi Mingyi and Li Yilang exchanged a glance before following her together.

Shen Zhe had reserved the entire second floor today. When he went upstairs, someone was receiving the guests—the person in charge of Shen Jewelry’s Z City branch.

Jia Jiayu, her mind clouded by excitement, failed to notice what was happening behind her. She had even automatically shut out the increasingly intense medicinal fragrance.

The guards on the city wall were terrified out of their wits. Just as the corrupted Camillas were about to climb over the wall, a gunshot rang out. A golden bullet tore through the air amid its mournful whine and struck the foremost Camilla. It immediately collapsed to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

Beside me, the Sunchaser mount was already gobbling up the souls of those I had slain, souls that were on the verge of vanishing. They were its favorite food.

The waiter and the guests at the other table finally came to their senses and hurried over to apologize and offer their thanks. The owner of the skewer shop came over as well and canceled the charge for Lin Baiyu’s table.

His tone was calm, giving away none of his emotions, but everyone present knew that he could not possibly be pleased inside.

He had sought out Su Li merely to have her examine his condition and see whether there was another way to treat it. He had never intended to engage in some romantic affair with her. Yet as he looked at Qiao’er’s faintly flushed cheeks, a stir of desire arose within him.

Wei Wei had seldom dealt with soldiers in the past. But after becoming friends with Zhuang Chaoyang, he had come into contact with them more often and gradually gained a deeper understanding of them. He genuinely wanted to help the most lovable people in the world, and was willing to do whatever lay within his abilities.

Outside the tent was a sea of fire. Boman and the soldier were guarding the entrance as well. I climbed to my feet, seized a grenade from the ammunition box, pulled the ring, and threw it outside the tent.

“No way. I only have two bottles of this drug, and we already used half a bottle yesterday. We’ll discuss this matter later.”

Ye Lei slapped the creature on its huge lion’s head.

Countless arrows rained down upon the five men. They were startled as well, never expecting a long-range player to appear out of nowhere.
