55 Dignity

Su Man also sat down and took a sip of pure mountain spring water, adjusting her breathing.

The warhorses of the Western Xia elite troops were meticulously selected. Such a warhorse, if put on the market, would be worth a full thousand strings of cash. From this figure, one could see that war is not something anyone can afford to play, yet the dividends of war far exceed the profit margins of ordinary commerce.

"Li Zishan, didn't you just promise me with your own mouth that you wouldn't sue my Big Brother Dayong anymore? Tell me, tell me, didn't you?" She pointed at Zishan, shouting excitedly, looking as if she would pounce on Zishan and fight her to the death if Zishan dared to say otherwise.

There were not many zombies here to begin with, because trade exchanges generally took place in the grand canyon below the port. Since the upper area served as the national border, people were not casually allowed to linger there, resulting in even fewer individuals on the outer perimeter.

After about two hours, they arrived at the foot of the mountains. Even though Fu Qiuning's constitution was not weak, she was now reduced to panting heavily. Out of consideration for the sedan-bearers and her desire to toughen up the boys, she gritted her teeth and persisted until the very end, leaving Jin Fengju consumed with heartache yet utterly unable to talk her out of it.

"Alright, alright, spare me the flattery. Huh? Is that fireworks? Come on, let's go take a look." Fu Qiuning said, then ran over excitedly, thinking to herself: Are these ancient fireworks? Their exterior craftsmanship is far inferior to modern ones, but looking at the ones set off by the estate last year, they were still quite pretty.

Fu Qiuning finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Jin Fengju sitting there, seemingly lost in faint contemplation, she could not help but nod inwardly, thinking that if one set aside the grievances of the past, this bastard actually possessed a bit of human warmth.

"But we don't have a boat! How can we get across with water this high right now?" Su Man knew that Mo Yang would lose his sanity whenever he encountered Zhang Dongmei, so she retorted.

Feng Dayong was already smiling. "Why say so much? Why don't you just call Zishan sister-in-law as well? Don't you want her to truly become your sister-in-law again? Well, where are the flowers?" He knew that Zishan had not completely forgotten him; although he had been in the wrong before, with Liu Yun dead, his mistakes could practically be considered wiped away.

Imhotep was unfazed by those weapons, but upon seeing a thick pillar of light descending from the top of the museum, terror flickered in his eyes. Before he could dodge, the pillar of light had already locked onto him and engulfed him.

Xie Nieyi shouted angrily at the top of his lungs, his echo resounding through the entire bamboo grove, but no one came out.

In the back garden of the Liang mansion, there was a lake formed by a natural hot spring, and the mist-shrouded "demon mansion" was located on the eastern side of the lake amidst the shelter of green willows.

Yet, upon second thought, this man had been gripping this very object the entire time he was controlled by Lolita. In other words, it was very likely that even Lolita could not force him to let go of what was in his hand. The only explanation was that this item was extremely important to the man, and it was a deep obsession in his heart that made him clutch it tightly and refuse to let go.

"It's not that I'm looking for you for something, it's our leader Long Batian..." Liu Hua had imagined all sorts of conversational scenarios along the way, but the moment she saw Xiugu, she was suddenly at a loss for words and had no idea where to begin.

They turned into a swarm of headless flies, crashing randomly across the deck. Some collapsed into fainting fits from excessive terror as they ran, while others, their entire bodies ablaze, ran a few steps before plunging despairingly into the sea.

For Li Ziyuan, failing to eliminate this Kenshiro Kōchi meant failing to avenge the innocent villagers of Wangjiagou who had died so tragically. After Kenshiro Kōchi was dismissed from office and left Hubei, he once thought he would never have another chance to get rid of this fellow. However, Liu Yanlai's intelligence rekindled his hope.

"Master..." Yun霜 looked at Gu Lingge, who was struggling to maintain an upright sitting posture, her voice trembling. Her hurried footsteps were chaotic. Thanks to Mu Yi's cloak, Yun霜 could not see Gu Lingge's wound at the moment.

In the dead of night, everyone was overwhelmingly exhausted, yet they still had not caught a single glimpse of the shadow of that flower-thief. Every household was snoring away, and some people were already beginning to waver.

In the center of the cave, a cluster of light hovered in mid-air, flickering incessantly to the rhythm of an aged and hoarse voice.

A moment later, the Myriad Demon Emperor laughed heartily, and then declared, "Since several of you have yielded this opportunity to us members of the Demonic Path, this Wan shall take his leave first!" With these words, the Myriad Demon's figure had already materialized inside the teleportation array.

"Haonan, forget it. After all, Yurui and I were classmates; what just happened was simply a misunderstanding!" Gu Xiaobei hugged Li Haonan's arm with a spoiled and naive air, speaking as if it were no big deal.

However, Liang Dong also figured out one thing: since this prospective father-in-law had built his success from scratch, there was likely the shadow of Mu Ling'er's grandfather behind the scenes—a point that Liang Dong would later verify.

Furthermore, this water emitted faint bursts of fragrance. Naturally, besides attracting cultivators and spirit beasts, this fragrance had another crucial purpose: to disrupt people's minds.

"This person is a madman!" Zhou Ping thought to herself. However, under that person's threats, Chen Li and Zhang Yun had already begun beating and kicking her. Zhou Ping usually bullied others and had never been beaten herself, so she instantly burst into miserable, agonizing wails.
