Chapter 13094 — At Dawn I Rose, Washed, and Put On My Robes of the Third Rank, That I Might Stand in Silence with the Crowd and Wait

Chen Shili's face was a mask of certainty, but beneath it his heart churned with unease.

One of the elders of the Chen family, the beast-tamers, had indeed once had dealings with the Heavenly Palace Trading Company, and back then he had passed down a family injunction: should the need ever arise, they might seek help from the Heavenly Palace Trading Company.

But so many years had passed—whether that old friendship still counted for anything, no one dared to vouch.

Chen Shili was hardly ignorant of the truth that when the man departs, the tea grows cold.

But there was no help for it; this was his last hope, and he could only stake everything on this one throw.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Every one of the Zhao family present...

Xiao Huanxue was torn between heartache and helplessness. She could feel Xiao Huanyu's pain with perfect clarity, yet she did not know how to comfort her sister. The facts were simply that cruel—had Xiao Huanyu not so readily believed that accursed Qi Huile, she would never have come to such a pass today.

Ye Wei's tone was rather overbearing, and it left Feihu deeply displeased. He stepped forward and said coldly, "Whether it has anything to do with it is not for you to decide—the Labor Law will be the judge of that." As he spoke, his anger rose, and his fists clenched with a creaking of knuckles.

"Not a moment to lose," she resolved, her will made firm together with Tiamat, the one bound to her by contract who dwelt within her headband.

Yu Wanjun was well aware of what was happening to her body and grew all the more embarrassed. Shen Shisan had pulled her jeans down to her knees, and there was no pulling them back up now, so he had to go for her underwear as well, drawing it down to her knees too.

Xiao Lingxiao thought to himself, So it is as I suspected. The creature before him was behaving most suspiciously; Xiao Lingxiao hesitated over whether he ought to seize it and question it thoroughly.

No one mocked Cangtian's wretched state, for they were scarcely any better off than he was! The dead had come back to life?

"And another thing—do not breathe a word of this for now, and keep it from the President as well. Beyond that, be ready at all times to break through the encirclement with the President." Bach gave the warning with a heavy heart.

Xiao Lingxiao frowned, knowing that his earlier judgment had been right: the Divine Wolf had spent too much of its strength, and she must find allies.

Wang Jiao did not want to apologize, but with so many people looking on she gave in and apologized to Zhao Yiming once more, and only then was the matter dropped—though not before Wang Jiao's outburst had stirred things up.

This left Lin Bai consumed with worry; if the recruitment effort fell far short of expectations, then many of his plans could never be carried out afterward.

But the tears in her eyes seemed unable to wait any longer, and one after another they came racing out.

It was only that, according to what Tianxing had conceived beforehand, the primal chaos qi must be both great in quantity and pure in essence—yet of the chaos qi cultivated over these three years, one part had gone to restoring Xinghua, and another part had earlier been absorbed by the Earth Source Pearl.

Lin Changge was now a star in the entertainment world, blazing hot, with an excellent reputation in the industry; even among the many top-tier celebrities, Lin Changge stood at the very peak.

Qianshang Song nodded, well pleased with Han Xi in this respect: unmoved by anything external, she insisted on climbing the heavenly stair by her own strength alone.

And once it failed, the Eastern Jin court's removal to Chengdu would likely prove useless—after all, there were many roads into Shu, and the hearts of the Ba-Shu people were unsettled; some of the great clans had even begun to switch sides. So if Huan Wen were defeated, the whole of Jin would likely be destroyed.

He strode down into the sea, found a target sea anemone, circulated his spiritual power, and a dagger appeared in his hand, which he thrust forward.

Damn it, surely today cannot be this unlucky—this is already the third time I have been falsely accused. It is not as though Sima Yu will come back later and wrong me once more.

It was fortunate that the centipede had had some foresight back then and bought up the entire building, otherwise there would be no such company here at all.

"Power like this is already enough! That my worthy nephew could improve the Beast-Splitting Crossbow to such a degree is truly admirable beyond words!" Zhuang Youlong waved his hand repeatedly as he spoke.
