Chapter 146: The Price of Getting Things Done

That father and son were truly calculating. Although they paid the money I demanded, what did they take me out to eat?

A buffet. Good god, can you believe it? A buffet!

If I hadn't intentionally threatened to walk out later, those two would have actually tried to dismiss me with nothing more than a buffet meal.

If that hadn't been my first time taking someone's money...

Since the people of the Kushan Empire cannot obtain the bonuses from this talent, people from the Great Wei will be able to navigate the Kushan Empire with ease in the future. Conversely, it will be extremely difficult for Kushan people to infiltrate the Great Wei for intelligence gathering; after all, without a command of the language, one can barely take a step.

Third, the biggest problem lies with Ye Luo. This old scoundrel clearly knows everything yet keeps it hidden from me. After entering the village, he simply vanished and started ignoring all my communications.

For the sake of the former patriarch, for her kin, and for survival, she must fight. She is determined to secure a spot in the Primordial Trial, and no opponent shall stand in her way.

It seems the previous life was not as peaceful as she had imagined. Shen Muyun tapped his fingers against the table, lost in thought. If he played his cards right, he could surely reap significant benefits from this.

Such tenacity. It seems warriors tempered in the fires of war truly have tough lives, though that is for the best.

With the attacks of three generals and nearly a hundred low-level demons descending simultaneously, the sky rippled intensely. The earth trembled, faint cracks spreading across the ground, and the young man’s body was torn violently asunder.

It is freezing outside. Who knows what kind of suffering my cousin is enduring right now? Not to mention how worried my grandmother must be. How can you expect me not to be anxious?

Zhang Ruyun said, "That goes without saying; in any case, I shall be staying here for a while yet." As he spoke, he invited Shen Qixia to accompany him to the Spirit-Governing Garden. His attitude was so firm that Shen Qixia, despite her gentle nature, found herself unable to refuse.

A large piece of his clothing had been torn away, and several bloody scratches marred his shoulder.

It is no wonder; the Prime Minister’s entire family belongs to the faction of King Yuan, so naturally, they would side with that faction to suppress her.

"Give me a pot of the strongest 'Will of Fire,' accompanied by a plate of tender spring sprouts." Ling Yun couldn't help but inwardly complain about this code phrase; he had even suggested to Tsunade at the time that she change it. Is it really okay to use a password so clearly colored by the emotions of the Hidden Leaf Village near other ninja villages?

Shi Gao was a relative by marriage whose talent was merely average, but Liu Xun trusted his in-laws, so he ranked him first among the regent ministers, appointing him Grand Marshal and General of Chariots and Cavalry, giving him control over the capital's garrison troops.

Li Yongzhen nodded gratefully, realizing he had just walked through the gates of hell. Only then did he feel a sense of relief. He wiped his tears with his sleeves and prepared to take his leave, when a voice from outside the door cried out, "Great joy! Great joy!" Before the words even faded, the white-haired and withered Wang Tiqian stepped inside, his face like a wilted chrysanthemum in full bloom.

She came to Sitges to heal from a heartbreak. Her work was somewhat related to football. When Zhang Zhetian returned to his country to compete and delivered an outstanding performance for the South Korean team, it caught her attention. She looked him up online and subsequently began following his matches in the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the Champions League.

An Feng took a shower, combed his hair, put on a brand-new suit, and donned his sunglasses. With several robotic bodyguards at his side, he set off with an air of immense confidence. Progress had been made in the counter-offensive. He was undoubtedly the greatest hero and savior of all mankind, yet he did not claim all the credit for himself.

"What did you say? I can't hear you, speak up!" Tao Xiong's face darkened, his voice turning icy.

Qingshuang truly could not think of anywhere else to go. If the Empress Dowager herself was truly out to harm her, then there would be nowhere within the entire Imperial City where she could find sanctuary. Even if she returned to the Imperial Herb Garden guarded by Matron Gao, it would ultimately not be for long.

The moment the rushing, scurrying ants came into contact with the venom, their bodies went completely rigid, as if they had frozen in place.
