Chapter 64: His Sister-in-Law Is a Wonderful Person
When Ji Ling arrived at the sheepfold, Branch Secretary Li and Village Chief Hua were already bouncing around like a pair of hyperactive young children.
Branch Secretary Li caught sight of Ji Ling at a glance and hurried over so eagerly that Ji Ling feared he might sprain his elderly back.
"Lass Ling, can we really make sugar ourselves?" Branch Secretary Li asked, his face full of excitement. He had just overheard old man Hua let slip that Ji Ling had custom-made several molds, and was planning to wait until...
"So arrogant even on the brink of death! Ridiculous!" Pei Zun shook his head, as if he had already foreseen An Haitian's fate.
Although named a county, Ninghai was more akin to a heavily fortified city. Towering walls built of grey bricks stretched high into the air, atop which patrolling soldiers could be seen. A river cut the city into two distinct sections, with iron floodgates blocking the exits on both sides of the waterway.
Hearing Xu Chuan's words, Elder Gu Tian could not help but wear a helpless expression, smiling bitterly as he shook his head slightly. Xu Chuan was truly sharp, exposing someone else's bottom line so bluntly. Who would dare to step forward after that?
Consequently, Xu Chuan gained an extra layer of respect for alchemists. It was no easy feat for them to attain such a status, which explained why they dared to price their spiritual herbs so exorbitantly.
The maple forest trembled, and shortly after, Jiang Yiman walked out from within with a pale complexion. Her clothes were flecked with a few leaves, and the hem of her skirt was stained with mud. She stared with venomous intensity at the direction where Song Nian'an and the other had departed.
Geng Yangzi had been keeping a close eye on the developments above. Catching sight of Lu Ziming silently appearing beside Ding Yangzi, he let out a panicked shout.
When Song Nian'an woke up from sleep, she felt as though the villa had undergone a dramatic transformation—there were more people around, and the place was suddenly bustling with life.
Tang Chen, who was gradually growing familiar with the intelligence on these enemies, suddenly furrowed his brow. Holding a sword in his left hand and wielding a spear in his right, he swept them in a circle to carve out an arc. Realizing just how dangerous the sword in Tang Chen's hand truly was, how could these alternates be willing to let him injure them? Consequently, they retreated in succession, while Tang Chen—applying oil to the soles of his feet—slipped away.
As for Gu Chen, with a wave of his right hand, the sky instantly clouded over with dense, rolling storm clouds. Rumbles of thunder then echoed across the expanse, followed by bolts of lightning of gigantic proportions plunging directly down from the sky, charging fiercely toward Shen Hai to slaughter him.
Jin Wei remained entirely unfazed by Qiao Yu's furious glare. She had no desire to bicker with Qiao Yu; since she had decided to return, she would throw every ounce of effort into bringing her vision to life.
Yet, Peng Peng still met with countless rejections from He Yan. Fortunately, He Yan possessed a charm-like ability; otherwise, Peng Peng would have long since resorted to taking her by force.
Fang Xiao was tormented terribly by her menstrual cramps. Every time, she had to rely on painkillers, but over time, the effectiveness of the medication seemed to dwindle.
Time was short, so attempting to memorize the text verbatim was out of the question; they could only skim through it a couple of times. Fortunately, they were cultivators, and their memories had been vastly enhanced. Even if they could not recite it word for word, they were still able to retain the general outline.
The young man had been watching Gu Chen nervously the entire time, terrified that Gu Chen might discover his presence. After waiting a short while and seeing that Gu Chen made no move whatsoever, a smile finally bloomed across his face.
Amaranth Cyan Brew, a brand of immortal wine, was low-priced and within reach of all immortals. Consequently, quite a few people still came to Zhang Cuishan to buy wine.
"Perhaps we should have trusted each other from the very beginning," Xue Wei murmured, revealing everything. True love demanded trust.
First of all, repairing talismanic artifacts was beneficial to the cultivation of his spiritual sense. Although he now possessed the Nine Refining Techniques of the Golden Crow, repairing talmsmanic implements not only increased his spiritual sense, but also helped Lu Xuan consolidate the foundational aspects of talismanry—something immensely advantageous to his study of the Heaven Mystery Sect's artifact-refining arts.
"With me, every word you say is the absolute truth—there is no such thing as an expiration date!" Feng Yifei flashed a wicked smile, tightening his grip even further.
