Volume 1, Chapter 116: Increasing the Bonus

"The Fierce Tiger Hall has already made a public announcement: in one week, there will be a signing ceremony for a contract worth billions. I will continue to follow up in the coming days," Yun Cheng continued.

Yet despite this, there were still pig farms, for pork remained the primary meat source for nearly every household.

As the drawbridge slowly lowered over the city gate, the crowd below shouted urgently; if the enemy outside the walls attacked, they would be trapped with nowhere to retreat.

The demons of chaos were numerous. The Chaos Demon Prison itself was a higher plane—indeed, among the highest of higher planes. Otherwise, it would not dare to covet the realms under the gods’ jurisdiction. Its formidable strength allowed it to wreak havoc everywhere, boasting countless demon lords rivaling godly power.

He hurried to the Shuntian Prefecture Office. Before long, the official arrived with his attendants, accompanied by Zhu Youwei, and together they proceeded to the Ye residence.

Lin Zhi refused to heed the reprimand. He stepped forward, pushing aside the two guards who had arrested Zhao Chengqian, shielding Zhao behind him.

Having just wept, her voice was strained, but the slight quiver of tears combined with the inherently melancholic song made it all the more touching.

Feng Qinglei frowned. He did not understand what Ye Lingxi meant, but he followed her gaze toward the indicated direction.

Cui Wen had just returned from the gates of the underworld, still dazed. The ethereal solemnity of the Buddhist chants filled him with newfound respect.

Throughout the primordial universe, the tolling of funeral bells echoed endlessly, and crimson blood rain drifted down from the depths of the heavens.

Two thousand two hundred jin of corn, priced at three mao six per jin. In total, about eight hundred yuan.

“What’s wrong? Is that not allowed? I already gave you three days to adjust,” Qu Fan retorted.

“Alright, on a serious note, I’ve already informed Commander Qi. He said he can come to your place anytime to assist with training. Do you need him?” Zhang Juzheng asked.

However, what Zhao Jiang did not expect was that even more aggravating matters lay ahead.

Secondly, with the new leadership installed in Jiuyi, not a single person from Yingzhou appeared, nor was a congratulatory letter sent. Yingzhou’s silence brought disgrace to both sides.

“Father, you should hurry and send them away. They simply don’t believe you’re not at home,” Liao Jingsheng lamented with a mournful expression.

Once the aura of the military token subsided, those present breathed a sigh of relief for having escaped with their lives. The threat had been terrifying—undoubtedly a power possessed only by legendary, supreme masters.

A radiant light extended upward along the stone stele; the higher the light reached, the greater the aptitude it represented.

Wang Bapi snorted coldly, limping into the room to find the seal, stamping it onto the certificate of poverty.

Hong Jun recalled that each time they retrieved the Immovable King’s artifact from the formation, the leyline energy formed a powerful protective barrier. Thanks to the artifact’s protection, their lives were spared. Yuzhou, who had taken the artifact without the Immovable King’s approval, nearly perished in the ensuing blaze.

Jiang Xuan’s composure was true to form; despite the ruthless embroidery of the tangerine, she was only momentarily stiffened before quickly regaining her calm.

He realized that beside him, Han Jiayu’s voice and presence were absent, along with her genuine laughter. His once full and content heart suddenly felt vast and empty.

After several rounds of drinking, it was late at night. The guests took their leave from Liu Huaiyong and returned home. Du Wanting, after leading them away, cast a charming smile back at Liu Huaiyong. He hurriedly cupped his hands in farewell to everyone before lowering his gaze to the ground.
