Chapter 78: The Chen Family Hidden in the Shadows

Liuzhou, Chen Family Villa.

At this moment, Chen Li, the head of the Chen family, was pacing back and forth in the living room, waiting anxiously for the latest news. Just then, his son Chen Linfei, the young master of the family, hurried in from outside and handed him a handwritten letter.

After dismissing the servants with a wave, Chen Li tore open the envelope and began to read its contents.

...

In the tradition of the Baba people, an ancestral altar is wide enough to hold eight bowls of rice, so at most, it can accommodate eight sets of tableware.

Long Xing suddenly felt as if his skull was about to split open. He let out a roar and clutched his ears with both hands.

After all, that perverse old monk from the Extreme Sun Temple was an extreme rarity; ordinary monsters would never possess such strength.

“Right? Right? It seems we really do speak the same language! All the other unicorns think my ideas are terribly dull, but I never expected to meet someone like you!” The unicorn exclaimed excitedly, clearly already regarding the white wolf as a kindred spirit.

The blue-striped white-browed tiger let out a howl at the burly man, trying to scare him off. Yet there wasn’t a trace of real ferocity in that roar; instead, it betrayed the tiger’s own fear and timidity.

“Brother, shall we go to the cafeteria together?” A goblin named Thirteen asked his companion. He had just finished a long day’s work, returned the iron hoe, and was eager to gather his friends and eat.

“Take care!” Ji Xiaoyan watched as Long Xing’s figure disappeared into the reddish-brown mist, a smile still lingering on his face.

Mo Song found that he could not see any trace of the man his father had described—once a formidable figure, now fallen and broken. Not a shadow of that old self remained.

The special infantry skill requires that when attacking enemy units with lower martial prowess, our infantry’s power increases. So, that means the two generals from Donghu both surpass Chen Qi in strength—damn it! Chen Qi is already the strongest warrior in Dongyu City apart from Liu Gui.

“Xia Xia...” How he longed to tell her that Lu Cang’s death had in fact been a ruse he himself had orchestrated. Yet, some mishap had occurred midway, catching them all off guard. Now, he and Zuo Junlin had to find a way to salvage the situation, hoping she would remain safe until the truth surfaced.

After easily taking care of the thugs, Li Tianchen sat back down on the sofa and poured himself a drink, unhurried. He simply watched the trembling Bald Feilong, saying nothing.

One must understand that though some special missions from the Universal Mercenary Guild don’t impose restrictions on rank or class, it’s not as if you can just accept any assignment on a whim.

“Yes,” Zhang Jiutian’s meaning was clear, and the generals each answered in unison before dispersing to their respective duties.

Facing the Su family’s troubles, he wanted to help, yet it would mean sacrificing his own freedom. People are greedy by nature—always wanting the best of both worlds, always fretting over which choice to make.

I never felt it, never even stood up. My consciousness drifted endlessly in a world of darkness, feeling the days slip by.

Yang Hui didn’t understand, truly didn’t. Besides, Qin Jiu was a full head shorter than him, which made patting his head all the more natural and satisfying for Yang Hui.

Dinner was kept extremely simple—few had the appetite for lion mastiff meat. Once the meal was over, all the campfires were extinguished. After a day of exhaustion, no one was in the mood for conversation.

As expected, Construction Bro’s network really did reach far and wide—he immediately guessed that Feng Chengcheng hadn’t run too far.

With a cheerful start to the morning, Qin Jiu stayed in good spirits the entire day. Of course, things would have been even better if he could have skipped class.

Suddenly, a thousand mechanical race tenth-level cosmic warships fired a full barrage of one thousand devastating annihilation shockwaves toward the Golden River Continent.
