Chapter 124: Plunder

Bai Huan grew alert, and Chen Xiang along with two guards immediately stepped forward.

The Marquis Pei seemed oblivious to their caution. He cupped his hands toward Bai Huan and smiled, saying, “Lady Bai, I have a matter I wish to discuss. I wonder if you have time to hear me out.”

Bai Huan naturally could not refuse. She stepped forward and said, “Marquis Pei, please speak freely about whatever guidance you have.”

“It’s like this,” he began. “The Pei family has long maintained business dealings with the Northwestern Army. Recently, they sought a certain incense with a special technique...”

In the valley, Qin Mo, Jin Tong, and Xiao Xuechen appeared one after another. The three had completed their cultivation. Hearing the commotion outside, they swiftly flew over.

Qi Jing recited the text with a smile. The staff were quite pleased and praised, “A scholar indeed.” Then, they handed Qi Jing the room number and the key.

Previously, on the Broken Sky Main Peak, Qin Mo was able to resist the spatial forces because he could harness the power of the peak itself.

To them, these people before their eyes seemed utterly foreign, as if they were from different worlds—was this the divide between the aristocracy and the common folk?

Upon entering, Yan Qiuyi immediately met the gaze of five pairs of wide, glaring eyes, each sparkling with gossiping curiosity.

Now, throughout the imperial capital star’s high society, rumors had spread wildly. No one knew how many secretly mocked Sun Yuru’s disgrace.

That morning, Yun Yao rose early, took out the prepared gifts and arranged them carefully. She then dressed herself elegantly and, along with Madam Cui, Qi Tongsuo, and Qi Baoping, headed to the Kang family.

This room was exactly the same as the one she had lived in before rebirth at the Kang residence—the familiar décor, the familiar arrangements, even the utensils were identical. The familiarity nearly brought Yan Qiuyi to tears.

Upon reflection, Juan’er thought, people truly cannot be compared. Whether one lives well or not is only known to oneself; what others see may be truth or falsehood.

When Yun Yao took the bowl to rinse her mouth, Kang Jinse surprisingly did not find it unpleasant. She respectfully held the spittoon for Yun Yao to spit out the rinse water, then offered a handkerchief and towel with genuine attentiveness, so much so that even Qi Lan felt pushed aside.

Creak—the door was personally opened by Ye Xingchen. Though his eyes were a bit red, it did not dampen his buoyant mood.

Dongfang Rong looked somewhat embarrassed. She hadn’t expected that this man would also attract the attention of Dongfang Wan, known as the old witch. Judging by her tone, she seemed unwilling to let it be.

At this moment, some seventy or eighty yards behind Zhang Feiyang, a thunder eagle circled overhead, roaring and unleashing bolts of lightning toward the ground. Trees withered, flowers turned to ash, the earth cracked, and a massive shockwave caused even shallow caves to collapse.

Thus, Nangong Yipin painfully relocated the Bai Li mother and her three children to a secret place. When the Nangong elder’s assassins returned, they only slew Lan Ying’er disguised as the real Bai Li Rulian.

As for Qiao Qiao’s uncontrollable feelings, in her eyes, it was nothing but coercion. Her heart had yet to open to him.

At the thought of the agony when all his bones had shattered, Cheng Siping shuddered involuntarily. If that were the case, would he have to endure such torment many times over?

“Of course, there is. Our village has a clan that has been kite-flyers for generations,” Cheng Siping responded hurriedly.

While lost in thoughts of revenge, Ye Xingchen’s innocent face suddenly appeared before him, blinking at Ximen.

“The reigning queen of the Wu Yi Tower, Miss Yihua, has a performance tonight,” General Xiu’s voice came from afar.

With a muffled creak, Shao Tianhao pulled hard, extracting a red organ and then violently flinging it to the ground.

Su Qingge found it difficult to restrain herself; the sensations her body sent were delightfully intoxicating. She could only stifle her moans, fearing he might look down on her if she cried out.

Lately, she had been a light sleeper. The moment the phone rang, she was awake. It was Ye Chen calling; now it was past two in the morning. This madman actually called at this hour.
