Chapter 44: Unboxing and Weapons

Su Bai took a deep breath and retrieved three heavy large wooden crates from the Thief’s Space.

He prepared to open them and inspect the goods.

The moment the crates hit the ground, they emitted a dull thud, stirring up a small cloud of dust.

Tian Ba and Pearl immediately gathered around, curiously eyeing these spoils.

“They’re quite heavy...” Su Bai wiped the sweat from his brow and gently stroked the exquisite bronze locks on the crates. “I wonder what kind of treasures are inside. I just hope—”

“Thank you, Master of the House,” Xu Jia and Xu Yi said simultaneously, then the sound of wind blew past behind them, and silence fell once more.

“No need. You shall know tomorrow,” Chang Zijun smiled gently and continued walking ahead.

On November 21st, the entire Nyx team arrived in the Angel City of Los Angeles, granted a rare moment of rest. Li Wei took his pet dog and went to visit Disneyland.

“Little sister has noted it. Take care, elder sister,” Qiu Yuanyuan watched Wang Jue’s departure with growing unease. A person as arrogant as Wang Jue would surely not tolerate sitting beside the emperor if it wasn’t her.

Having just spent three hundred points, Li Tian still felt pleased to have regained them so quickly. Yet, after such exertion, earning only three hundred left him somewhat disheartened.

“That doesn’t really matter,” Yan Sui waved his hand, signaling Zhu Youning not to take it to heart. His focus was entirely on the vouchers.

“Brother, don’t be nervous! It’s Young Master Pan coming!” Wang Rui reassured him confidently.

Old Master Zhu then rose, folding his hands behind his back as he paced a few steps. “Go back and instruct the household’s masters and servants to conduct themselves properly and keep a close watch on everyone at home. Any mischievous behavior must be curbed. We cannot afford any trouble or unwanted attention.”

Li Tuobei was momentarily stunned by the words. Releasing a fully drawn bowstring carelessly could injure oneself, so he aimed at a nearby tree and let the arrow fly.

The temple’s structure had suffered extensive damage—some parts worn away by wind and rain, others washed away by the Milky River’s floods, and still more shattered by the Lion King’s impact against Lotus Peak.

Memories of events at the Xu residence ten days prior flooded back, alongside Xu Zilin’s resolute refusal to let her take Qi Er away.

“What, Dad? You don’t want to?” Mo Xiao smiled faintly, her delicate and beautiful face glowing softly.

If Liu Jinglian truly was Feng Ning, then accepting the shoes was both fitting and heartfelt. After the trip to Giantzi Mountain, as long as Brother Chen did not press the matter, the real Liu Jinglian would dare not mention being switched, and all would be well. Yet every one of her actions was monitored by Brother Chen.

Climbing steadily upward, loosening her belt and undressing with practiced ease, upon seeing Fang Danqiu’s exquisite form again, Xie Yuyi’s passion surged as intensely as the first time. This was a body she could never tire of admiring—a flawless “jade” form, forever fresh and enchanting.

“Hehe, remember to give me a red envelope as a reward,” Jiu Yue said coldly without further words, then hung up.

Bai Zhi imitated every gesture of the White Fairy so perfectly that it was uncanny, yet the unique connection between lovers was missing. Master Wuye, meticulous as ever, sensed an unspoken discord in the White Fairy’s post-injury demeanor. He tested several times, but Bai Zhi revealed no clue.

Che’er stared blankly at Qian Wu, feeling only embarrassed that his sister had seen him naked. Why did she react so strongly?

Tea was often offered by Zhao Jiyu at the Pavilion Tea House. Though the quality was good, the teas were artificially cultivated and fertilized, lacking the eternal, subtle fragrance of wild, natural tea. Yet Xie Yuyi firmly believed that the tea in her hands was truly natural.

“Uh, please don’t say such things,” Xie Yuyi glared at Roufeng. Nearby, Xia Ningxiang’s face flushed deeply, unsure how to respond.

But after meeting the other’s calm gaze, he silently clenched his teeth and resolved to fight through this period of probation no matter what.
