Chapter 145: The Place Was Already Empty

Mu Wanqing had no other choice. In the present circumstances, no prominent family could lend tens of thousands of tons of supplies. So she had to make another trip to the Qiu family mansion to discuss countermeasures.

But as the conversation went on, she ended up entangled with Cao Mang, completely forgetting her original purpose.

When she woke up, it was already the next morning. Cao Mang presented her with a satisfactory answer—a living member of the Underworld was brought before her.

This poisoning incident was orchestrated by Deng...

“Why must I die?” Li Qing asked coldly, her Adam’s apple sliding like an olive.

Since this was the final level and they were not here, the only certainty was that there was still a way out.

The white bird immediately noticed Qi Yu. Not just it—the eagle itself could detect it. An ordinary person might have overlooked it, but it sensed the danger radiating from Qi Yu. Unable to guard against it, it swiftly shifted its target and, like a gust of wind, attacked Qi Yu in the blink of an eye.

I cursed under my breath as I jumped down from the back of the giant-toothed insect demon beneath my feet. Unlike the capital city, the barracks were where I grew up. There was no longer any need to observe so-called etiquette; savagery and roughness were the only means to command my soldiers.

Hui once again pointed his spear at Rou Xue, clearly intending to humiliate her over the incident from a few days ago. But ice that fears no fire—did he really think he could melt her?

At this moment, Qiao Feng bore no trace of the carefree demeanor he had before; he looked utterly like a drunken man.

If any other wealthy man had been here, hearing Liang Xiao’s words would have driven him mad, for human will to survive is formidable.

One has to admit, the pain from soaking in the pool was proportional to the benefits it brought. Watching her skin regain its smoothness, even better than before, Shi Feixuan thought to herself.

Da Bai walked slowly up to the leopard, eyes devoid of any mercy. The leopard slowly closed its eyes—it was begging Da Bai for a final blow to spare itself from a more painful death. This small mercy was granted as Da Bai bit through the leopard’s throat in one bite.

No sooner had Chen Ba finished speaking than a police officer entered and whispered a few words into Officer Wang’s ear. Wang’s expression changed slightly, then he waved his hand, signaling Chen Ba to leave on his own.

When facing Leander, these security personnel were purely just security staff. They didn’t even bother to pretend. After all, just as the British disliked Americans, Americans reciprocated those feelings.

It was quite normal. Many who did not keep pets would scoff at stories of people who loved their pets dearly. It was simply a different way of living, nothing to be faulted.

She recalled the elegant gentleman who had pierced her ears, the frail yet passionate king, and the first time she saw Wu Ye and Shan Ziyin at Cui Liu Residence.

Xuanyuan Zhao was deeply uneasy. Xuanyuan Ling had been preventing the Empress from matchmaking him with Ruan Jiujiu, but who knew what whispered words had passed between them. If the Empress truly changed her mind, would he not stand a chance at all?

The power of law—that was the realm that the quasi-saints or the rulers of this world had only just begun to truly study.

The clear and turbid heavens and earth formed, and under the power of Pangu, the world grew larger and taller, all proceeding along the proper evolutionary path.

She arranged Shan Jingyan and Zhang Qinxue to sit at the same table as them but placed Wei Qingqing with Cui Cui and the others.

They tried their best to live these days as normally as possible, so the next morning, Yue Ming still woke early to buy groceries and cook, while Wei Renwu continued to sleep soundly.

Ye Chenmeng’s feigned sleep did not escape Lan Lichuan’s eyes; his magnetic voice sounded above her head as usual.

“Hey—” Li Mu picked up the phone on the table to call William Vanderbilt, but all he heard was a busy signal. It was likely the phone lines had been cut by the heavy snow.
