Chapter 64: The Status of the 14th Detachment

Fan Honghong was wondering what she should say to Aunt Lin when she suddenly heard Aunt Lin ask:
"Honghong, you're back. Why didn't my Xiangxiang come back with you? Did you two have another fight?"
Fan Honghong froze abruptly. As the realization dawned on her, her expression shifted drastically, replaced by complete and utter disbelief.
Aunt Lin continued talking to herself, "Honghong, my Xiangxiang has a bad temper and is always getting into trouble. Please bear with her a little more in the future..."
"You bastard, go to hell!" Li Shiyi pounced on me, grabbing my collar with a death grip. His eyes burned like those of a man-eating beast, and he raised his fist, ready to beat me up.
"I'm afraid even the elders of the Zondelique Council wouldn't put on such a grand display!" Solon watched the procession from afar, curling his lip with a hint of displeasure.
For the people of Shuntian Star, cultivation was clearly far more important than money. Once one possessed formidable strength, wealth would naturally follow. Therefore, many people would smash their pots and sell their iron—exhausting every possible resource—just to boost their cultivation to the utmost.
The reason Xiaoqiu was brought along was because, after having a nightmare and feeling frightened, she simply wanted to spend a little more time with Xiaoyong.
"What else can we do? You've already taken on a karmic debt of Yin and Yang. Go handle it yourself; whatever you promised, fulfill it." Grandfather glared at me, looking as though he desperately wanted to give me a thrashing.
Moreover, this enhancement was simple, akin to throwing more firewood onto an existing blaze—there was no growth of any independent consciousness or spiritual essence whatsoever.
Jiuxin was well aware that there was nothing inside Zongyinmeng's body that could control him—aside from that single seal, of course. Still, conducting a thorough check wouldn't hurt.
"Since that's the case, you're of no use anymore. I might as well just finish you off!" Wu Tian said, narrowing his eyes.
One must always bear the consequences of their own choices. Only in this way would people carefully consider similar choices when faced with them in the future.
If the Fifth Prefecture were compared to a fierce tiger, the Five Elders were giant whales; if the Fifth Prefecture were compared to a boulder, the Five Elders were a towering mountain.
"I know you're a sea turtle, but what are you doing here?" Wu Lin asked with a smile. She had already guessed some of it; given Huafeng's special status within the Dragon Squad, getting someone out of prison was hardly difficult.
Xiao Han smiled and said, "Mom! Have you forgotten that I can use magic? Watch this!" His mother, father, and everyone else watched in astonishment as those things—living and dead alike—vanished into thin air one by one, leaving not a single one behind.
"Why didn't she kill us?" Yang Lan and the six Grandmasters exchanged glances in dismay. Only today did they realize that there existed in this world such a divine being with mystical powers. In her presence, what was a Grandmaster? What was the entire world?
By this time, Jiang Xueyan had also grown active. She selected a few ears of corn and tossed them directly into the fire to roast, while she peeled the husks off the remaining ones before placing them over the fire to grill.
The two of them rode their horses for over an hour before finally arriving at Mount Wuyue. Leaving their horses at the foot of the mountain in the care of designated attendants, they headed up the trail.
"Shall we go take a look?" Huafeng said. When the three of them reached the young man, the casino security guards also stopped. However, they were still hurling abuses, though they spoke in Cantonese, which the three of them could not quite understand.
"Three gold coins? A hundred pieces?" Lu Yuexie looked at Guli in astonishment, never expecting that Guli would spend so much money on a carriage every month. At the same time, he never imagined that Guli's line of work could earn her a hundred gold coins a month.
When he woke up the next day, Gaofei brushed his teeth using his custom-made toothbrush and toothpaste. Having been in ancient times for several months, he found it hard to stomach the hygiene habits of the ancients—for instance, their aversion to brushing their teeth. Although things like dental floss existed, nothing cleaned the oral cavity quite as thoroughly as a proper toothbrush.
