Chapter 41: Deliberate Abandonment

Hearing the word "bankruptcy," all three members of the Chu family instantly lost their composure.

Mrs. Chu grabbed onto the car window of Chu Miaojing's vehicle, glaring furiously at her daughter sitting inside the luxury car. "Have you no heart? What conflict cannot be resolved at home together? Why do you have to drag outsiders into this? Must you wait until the Chu family goes bankrupt, your father goes to prison, and Miaoyi and I are left homeless before you're satisfied?"

Chu Miaojing merely cast a faint glance at the hand gripping her car window. "Let go."

Mrs. Chu did not let go.

Wu Ming checked his list and found there were twenty-three targets in the West that required liquidation, but in reality, if he went after them one by one, they would have long since fled.

Right now, everyone was waiting for Mu Yunxi to fail her surgery, so they could use that pretext to make her take the blame for the murder of the Seventh Prince.

Probably influenced by his past life, Lin Bei felt a slight pang of anxiety whenever he saw his savings constantly being depleted.

"A-yao, do you need my help?" Looking at the trace of weariness on Ye Shuhuang's face, Ning Yichen felt a twinge of heartache.

Sensing that something was amiss, Sanning initially did not understand what Emmanuel meant by "waiting for the right opportunity," but that did not matter—she could let the audience explain it to her.

Before the cave, rosy clouds radiated brilliantly and auspicious qi billowed. Faint glimpses of plum blossoms, pine branches, apricot blossoms, and peach blossoms could be seen. Unrestricted by the seasons, these flowers bloomed even in the dead of winter, brilliantly colorful and vibrant.

Although her body had changed, her soul was still a native Chinese soul, and naturally, her palate had also become a Chinese palate.

Qingyang leisurely popped a peanut into her mouth and took a sip of wine, the spiciness prompting her to wave her hands frantically in front of her face.

Ao Run walked up in a few strides. Seeing Wu Ming here, he looked somewhat surprised before offering a greeting, and Wu Ming returned the courtesy.

The twins sat together, simultaneously casting their gazes toward this Red Dragon brother who was much taller and larger than them.

Even though Alice had destroyed all evidence of her contact with the photographer, Adam still managed to track her down and told her to keep her guard up.

The room was in a state of utter disarray. The next morning, when Rong Xi woke up and saw the deep and shallow dark purple hickeys scattered all over her body, she almost went ballistic.

The Snow Mountain Sect was built with magnificent grandeur, featuring uniform red walls and green tiles, lofty and imposing. It gave everyone a sense of aesthetic enjoyment.

The jade crown was also inlaid with gems of exceptionally fine quality, exquisite and dazzling enough to almost blind a person's eyes.

Alas, beauty is a blade hanging over the head. From now on, she must never, ever be bewitched by his good looks again.

Long Jiuyue crashed into a strong and powerful chest. When she wanted to push him away once more, she no longer had the heart to do so.

Shen Muwei did not overthink it. Assuming that Luo Wei and the other person probably knew nothing about their affair, she felt a little awkward, but managed to barely maintain her composure on the surface.

"We will reach Tongyu Pass tomorrow," Mu Xing settled all the accompanying matters before walking over to sit beside Bei Mingyuan. In the night, only the bonfire outside and the patrolling soldiers kept watch.

Hearing the sounds of fighting, Lu Hao leaped up from the bed. Quickly throwing on his clothes, his first reaction was to rush to Chu Tiankuo's room. For some reason, he suddenly found himself unwilling to see Chu Tiankuo die.

He could perceive that after achieving his divine body, his strength had broken through significantly, and his cultivation realm had reached perfection after the fusion of the Four Elements. Especially his comprehension of the Dao of the Sword—surpassing others from behind—had attained a level of understanding far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The moment he saw Guan Yi, Dels already guessed that Lin Yuanjiang had failed, and naturally, the next turn would fall upon himself, the head of the German branch.

Inside the commander's hall of the Star Sanctuary garrison, Jue Chenyi cast aside his martial majesty and carefully studied the exotic and unusual flower before him.

Furthermore, Steward Xie had said he would take him to find Xu Zhiheng there. Liu Yong had to go there first to find Steward Xie anyway. As for the matter of this soup, Liu Yong decided he could not simply ignore it; he would deal with it when he saw Xu Zhiheng later.

For days, affected by the corpse tide, more than a dozen people who ran around blindly out of inner terror and fear had already died. All of them had been ruthlessly executed by Lucifer, which inevitably compressed the already drastically reduced forces of Xinyu Xuan once more.
