Chapter 36: She Quit!

"I bought some toiletries; would you like to take a bath?"
"Yes!"
Lu Mingyue nodded hurriedly. Her body felt sticky, dirty, and uncomfortable; she couldn't even fall asleep lying in bed like this.
The bathing area was in the backyard on the first floor. Huo Zheng asked the attendant for the key to the bathroom.
"Go ahead and wash up; I’ll wait outside."
With his assurance, the anxiety in Lu Mingyue's heart subsided. The bathroom only had a simple wooden door, and if there had been...
However, the void was as vast as the sea, boundless and infinite. The reach of his spiritual sense was only five or six miles, sensing nothing but the empty void.
Thus, the Mansion of the Barbarians, once a center of commerce and a bridge connecting to the world, quickly became a place that the people of Chang'an avoided at all costs—for any foreigner residing there was surely an envoy of a tribe that had yet to submit to the Han Emperor, offer tribute, or enter the Han vassal system.
Zhang Ziqi’s figure instantly appeared behind the sharp-toothed crocodile. With a flick of his right hand, three waves of energy slammed fiercely into the beast.
Although Bai Suzhen had come here today hoping to leverage Cheng Fang’s power to root out the assassin’s organization, when she reached this point, thinking of Xu Xuan whose fate in Suzhou remained unknown, she couldn't help but weep.
For this type of illness, there was certainly no effective treatment in this era. The safest course of action was for him to lie still in bed, minimizing the progression of the disease as much as possible.
Yet, both Feng Qiqi and Xiqiao possessed such exquisite figures; their gait was graceful and charming, and even from behind, they could deeply captivate the eyes of passersby.
After stepping down from the carriage, Jun Chuyou strolled toward the gate of the Tiger Might General’s Mansion—which surely hadn't seen its glory days in a long time—and knocked on the door.
Luo Xisi was surprised by the temperature; how could it be someone who had just come from outside? It was as if they had just crawled out from under the covers.
To say nothing of anything else, the strategy Zhang Yue had provided him regarding "clearing out the remaining poison of the traitorous father and son" had already achieved great success.
"Everything is good; I love everything Grandma makes," Luo Qianqian said, hugging Yue Tingyu with a coquettish look.
Accompanied by his roar, a rumbling sound came from the empty space behind the demon army, and numerous demon soldiers scrambled to get out of the way.
In a few days, when the news spread that the Sain Dungeon had undergone changes and the difficulty had increased significantly, the flow of people would likely see a decline, much like how online games always have the highest revenue during the launch period.
"Did you grow up in a place like that?" Lu Mingfei asked hesitantly. He actually had many doubts; those hallucinations that seemed frozen deep in the recesses of his memory kept calling out the name "Zero" over and over, and every fragmented memory held a silhouette of Zero.
"This is the true entrance to the Night's Food Plain," Uesugi Yue whispered. At his feet lay a pile of famous swords brought from the clan, tied together—too many to count, but every single one was a blade capable of slaying demons.
Shen Zhinian naturally understood this logic. Combining it with the fact that Eunuch Zhao had deliberately mentioned Jiang Wanning earlier, she didn't need to think twice to know that this was ordered by her.
Question after question drifted through his mind, but they were immediately brushed aside by Cao Kun.
The scale of the place shocked Su Can; looking at the residence from the front, one would never guess there was such a vast space inside.
Under the bright moonlight, the beauty stood in white, aloof and proud. Her cool, ethereal temperament was like a fairy descended to earth. A light veil covered her face, adding a touch of mysterious beauty.
Commoner, Noble Lady, Concubine, Consort—she climbed the ranks step by step. Not only the Emperor but the other palace concubines praised her for her gentle, virtuous, and refined nature.
It was hard work for Wu He to rack his brains for these words; one must know he was rated as one of the most difficult artists to interview on variety shows.
But even so, each of them squeezed out fake smiles to congratulate me on my promotion to General Manager, calling me "Manager Lin" at every turn.
