Chapter 148: Zhou Jianliang’s Dinner Gathering

Quite a few customers knew that the Guomao Tower store and the University Town store belonged to the same brand. At the time, many of them felt that the clothes at the Guomao Tower location were rather expensive, so they planned to come to the University Town store and compare the prices.

But once they arrived at the University Town store, they discovered that the styles at Guomao Tower and those at University Town barely overlapped.

In particular, it was nearly impossible to find any of the Guomao Tower styles at the University Town location.

...

“I can feel it. That stretch of starry sky that has never been destroyed—that is where he dwells.” The Human King pointed his Primordial Banner toward a patch of ancient starry sky ahead.

“Not necessarily. Where does that confidence of yours come from?” Pei Yufeng asked with complete seriousness.

He had once heard that Wang Hou came from a single-parent family and that his family circumstances were fairly ordinary. Clearly, however, Wang Hou had concealed it well.

“You must all be starving, aren’t you?” Liang Jing unwound the scarf around her neck and casually tossed it, together with her hat, onto the coat rack by the door. Chen Ying switched on the light behind her and followed her into the room, which reeked of urine.

Li Yunze had thought she would not answer his question, so she really had let go. He got up and opened the storage room. From a shelf, he took down a box containing a newspaper. The headline on its front page featured photographs of Shen Ruoqi and Li Mudong, under the title: The Groom Flees the Wedding.

Suddenly, his gaze shifted toward the courtyard inside the stockade, where more than a dozen Manchu Tatars were tied to wooden posts.

Qin Yang knew that Xia Mengmeng had only just started playing the game. Still, the early levels were easy to advance through; after playing a few matches, she would be able to unlock ranked mode.

“It won’t.” She spoke softly, trying to pull her fingers away. But he had them clasped in his grasp, and no matter how she struggled, she could not break free.

The farther he watched, the more miserable he felt. This was the video from the day they were married! Li Yunze’s fingers trembled faintly. The pain in his chest grew sharper and sharper, making his breathing increasingly rapid, as though he had suddenly been transported to a snow-covered plateau and was suffering from oxygen deprivation.

Xia Ziyao pestered Pei Yufeng for half a day but still failed to see the painting. Thinking he had hidden it on his person, she searched him from head to toe. She found no painting and nearly got knocked down in the process, which frightened her into making a quick escape. In the end, the matter of the painting was simply dropped.

This scene was the final shot of the film, filmed in advance—the sequence in which Lu Yan and the others stormed the Immortal Palace and fought the Jade Frontier War God.

There were actually fruits this miraculous in the real world. Although it was difficult to believe, the more extraordinary it seemed, the greater the shock everyone experienced.

The landlady nodded. “Exactly. It sounds terrifying. In the middle of the night, a landslide exposed seven graves. Some of the coffins even came out, and I heard that there were lights shining beside them too. It was downright eerie—terrifying. That couple was so frightened that they immediately ran down the mountain to look for the village chief.”

There was no denying that the owner had excellent cooking skills. The barbecue was grilled to perfection, crisp on the outside and tender within, while the spicy seasoning stirred the appetite wonderfully. The rice noodles were delicious too, and somehow their flavor tasted very much like the ones his father used to make.

Since it was a divine artifact designed to imprison others, it was impossible for the space restraining its prisoners to exist in only one place, was it? If one merely extended the dimensions of that virtual space a little, ensuring that the three demon emperors could never come into contact with one another, then how could the Azure Ripples Divine Diagram possibly be broken?

In particular, when the cavalrymen of the Pugu Tribe saw the wine jars on the cart, their attitude immediately improved. Even though the jars had been sealed with yellow clay by special means, they could not block the waves of fragrant wine wafting out. The cavalrymen’s eyes lit up one after another. Clearly, none of them could resist the temptation of such fine liquor.

If the Liu clan continued to remain tied to the war chariots of Queen Liu and Jiang Ri, they would inevitably find themselves locked in a fight to the death with the Moyun royal clan.

In the Jinshan Ghost Market, wherever Liu Li passed by, great patches of that murky gray vapor rose from the stalls. Even a fool could guess what that meant.
