Chapter 27: Be a Good Girl

On the eve of her departure from Ping Town, Ying Zhiyao took her chubby little Shiba Inu, Gas Can, to meet He Miao.

She began to search slowly, looking for anything to satisfy her hunger so she could regain her strength.

Sun Wu urged them to return quickly, as he had delivered the safe containing the Xi Jia Pan and the Yohen Tenmoku tea bowl.

Ye Zifeng returned to his seat, feeling flustered under the gaze of the elders. He tried to break the tension by saying, "Mr. Charles, I will visit your company tomorrow morning."

After arriving in Lucheng, they secretly hunted a large number of rats, dousing their carcasses with corrosive powder. Once the bodies had rotted and begun to stink, they buried them in the water sources frequently used by the villagers in the surrounding areas.

Yun Qingqing and Ouyang Qi did not overthink things as Meng Yuchen did. They simply felt a deep sense of envy for Shui Yu. Although he had endured much gossip over the years, his hardships had finally come to an end.

Hearing her words, Wei Yiyang dared not delay. He immediately dried her body and helped her dress. Although the June heat was intense outside, soaking in the water for too long was still uncomfortable.

The Venerable appeared unaffected; before long, he had gathered all his spiritual power into his palms. Ghost King Ming Xing slowly closed his eyes.

After the exchange of pleasantries, Yun Tianhai invited her to the seat of honor. Now, everyone was looking at her—some with questions, some with curiosity, but most with disdain, anger, and resentment.

"Lord Yama, is this thing actually going to work?" Zhang Sanfeng asked, pulling a golden soybean from his robe.

"I am merely asking her to assist me with some experiments. In truth, all she really needs to do is pray; the rest is my concern. There is absolutely no need for any bloody research," Murong Chen said, lighting a cigar with a helpless expression.

"Do you think I should tell him?" Meijuan struggled with the decision. She did not want to have any further contact with that villain, but after all, he was the child's father and at least had the right to know.

It was during these moments—when Charlotte Linlin went berserk and lost her sense of self—that she would regain her own consciousness. Though she could not directly control Charlotte Linlin's body, she could exert her influence, effectively swaying Charlotte Linlin's actions.

At the same time, he discovered that the consciousness was like a flourishing immortal herb, blooming with three flowers of the mind. Clouds of rosy mist gathered, and within each flower sat a manifestation of his spirit.

Upon arriving at the Lizheng Palace, Qin Qiong saw Empress Zhangsun and Consort Yang laughing together and hurriedly bowed to pay his respects.

Although Peng Fei was secretly annoyed, she did not want to cause a scene and tried to step aside. She had not expected the man to reach out and touch her head, knocking her hat away before she could react.

Merging into it, his soul was instantly stunned. This body possessed perfect balance between yin and yang, with the powers of the five elements intertwined. Lightning and electricity surged, and the energy of life rolled like an ocean. It was a peerless body, woven with incredibly powerful divine runes.

Although Paul did not understand why Murong Chen had suddenly brought up the subject of etiquette, he knew things were about to go wrong just by watching the way Murong Chen drew his sword. He immediately ordered his subordinates to retreat while he drew his own blade and stepped forward to block Murong Chen.

Of course, it was undoubtedly Cai Yan who ensured that Jiang Qi’s fame spread throughout Luoyang. That evening, upon returning to the city, Cai Yan excitedly recounted the "Hu Wu Ren" poem she had just heard to her father, Cai Yong.
