Chapter 89: Dumbfounded

After Ye Cheng left the imperial prison, he returned to the Eastern Depot and summoned Steward Qiu.

“My lord, where did the wines you gave me yesterday come from? They must be heavenly vintages from the Immortal Palace!” Steward Qiu said with a cheerful laugh, his face full of lingering delight.

“Old Qiu, there will be plenty of that wine in the future. When the time comes, I’ll give you...”

Meanwhile, deep in Dragon King Mountain, the stench of rotting corpses washed over the summit. There, seated cross-legged atop the peak, was a boy with long black hair hanging loose down his back and a bare upper body; though he was only in his teens, his body was covered with scars.

Since Heavenly Flower Entertainment could pin a fake scandal on him, why couldn’t he return the favor with a photo scandal of his own?

Moreover, this poison involved seven poisonous flowers and seven poisonous herbs in all. The method of refinement, the kinds of poisonous flowers and venomous insects used, and even the order in which the flowers and insects were added—any slight alteration could cause the properties of the Seven Insects and Seven Flowers Pill to change beyond recognition.

“Don’t force me. I can’t say!” Uchiha Fugaku looked at Mikoto, who had fainted on the ground. Though he felt deep shame toward Muyun, he was still a father, a husband, and the head of his clan.

“You...” He Lin thought she had misheard, never expecting Lin Yuchen to say something like that again.

Yet for all the complaints, the real work still had to be done. Yato persevered in his tireless search for the runaway cat.

The Dark Abyss occupied the entire northern region of the Demon Realm, stretching from east to west. It was said that no one had ever discovered its end.

At the very moment he completely lost consciousness, a cold, emotionless voice rang in his ear.

After all, Liu Yuan’s condition was also terribly wrong now; he could not possibly continue running the hotel.

“Who I am isn’t important. What matters is that it is time for us to settle this once and for all. Don’t you think so?” Flames burst forth at once against the frozen ground.

Hebrai’s whereabouts remained unknown. After this, he was surely on guard; finding him had become like searching for a needle in the sea.

Frustration clogged her chest, and she did not want to speak. The pressure inside the car sank even lower. Resting her head against the slightly cool window, she watched the buildings flashing past gradually blur away in the deepening night.

But the Prosperity Fund wanted not just one research institute’s cooperation, but several. As for how the profits would be divided and how the money would be paid, nothing had yet been decided.

Barely breaking out of the shell-blast’s lethal radius at the last possible moment, Yan Poyue spat out the foul mud that had flooded into his mouth and clambered miserably to his feet. Seeing Xiao Yunjie still lying prone on the ground, he reflexively reached out to pat him—but just as his hand was about to land on Xiao Yunjie’s shoulder, Yan Poyue’s arm suddenly froze.

“It’s nothing. I’m the one who should feel bad for disturbing you so suddenly.” Qin Lan smiled.

Tang Qin froze. After a moment, she looked at Tang Wang, and Tang Wang looked back at her. In the end, they both lowered their heads.

After Miss Xiang’er finished playing a piece, she made an excuse to go outside, but Qin Lan would not allow it and made her play another.

Muran also held her tea and watched them play. After all, this game had been her suggestion to the professor; now she had become the one watching the show.

This was the irreconcilable conflict between them. With such a contradiction between them, they could never shake hands and make peace, much less work closely together.

With a wail from Hanhang, Mu Yi reached the peak once more, planting the banner of victory deep within Mu Yuqing’s body. While the child outside cried, he smiled triumphantly.

Then I grew puzzled and asked the group whether Yeh You was really that amusing. The answer came back with unanimous certainty: absolutely.

Listening to Fu Jingshen make it sound so true, Ji Yang pressed his lips together lightly. The darkness in his black eyes deepened as he lifted the wineglass before him, then slowly set it back down.
