Chapter 50: The True and False Heiress, Part 50
The moment the pill was in hand, Huai Ying eagerly fed it to Mu Jinnian.
But it was of no use at all.
Mu Jinnian’s vital signs continued to fade rapidly.
“Wow, so you can look this desperate and helpless too. How interesting,” Bai Jingming said with a smug, triumphant grin as he struggled to stand.
He couldn’t do anything to Huai Ying, but seeing her upset was enough for him.
Huai Ying cast a cold, murderous glare in his direction.
Though all were servants, her descendants were legitimate children of the household. Because she served the matriarch closely, her family enjoyed a life within the estate that was decidedly better than that of a typical wealthy family outside.
The only drawback was their near-zero resistance to natural disasters and calamities. After all, this was a world teeming with the strong. Even if one thought they had found a safe, secluded place, an unexpected catastrophe could strike at any moment.
Especially with that injured old scoundrel, who howled pitifully, calling for his fleeing comrades to wait for him.
Lu Jinyi was also aware of the power of rumors. Now that he held such a high position, every word and action of his was under scrutiny. His elderly mother living in a nursing home was a sore spot. If it remained secret, all was well; once exposed, his reputation would be utterly ruined.
All the attributes once suppressed and weakened had now fully returned, and most notably, his health surged from the original 1,770 points to a staggering 3,200 in one go.
The Dwarven Chieftain and Alchemy Master Kino both held lofty status, yet in the presence of the Demon King, they remained respectfully deferential. Thus, these two transformation-stage cultivators bowed earnestly and obeyed the orders given.
Suddenly, a window appeared in his mind, revealing the appraisal information for one hundred Electric Immortals and Red Carrots.
Thus, he decisively infiltrated tens of thousands of feet beneath the earth, nearly reaching the depths where underground magma flowed! As for the core of the earth, that was a matter for another time. The Xuanhuang Great World did indeed have stars in its sky, but whether the earth itself was a planet remained uncertain.
Lu Yuan went back to rest first. Once he left, Lu Yao fixed his sharp eyes steadily on Mei Lingyun.
But the pickled cabbage Ye Xiaochen provided was extraordinary. After tasting it, he could never forget it, always reminiscing about that indescribable flavor.
Wang Le and Cai Zong sat face to face, while Ma Han and Tu Batian stood guard at the door. Gao Weiliang still lay on the ground, his fate unknown.
Chu Tianlu cleared his throat twice before continuing, “Feng Shui, as it is called, is the interplay of yin and yang and the five elements, producing all things under heaven and earth. The concepts of fortune, misfortune, blessings, and calamities are further profound laws discovered by later scholars based on these principles.”
Below, the leader of the Pig-Head Tribe trembled violently. It was truly the three great kings—indeed, their tribe had produced a remarkable figure.
With Lin Che nearly out of reach, the imperial city was crowded and full of eyes. Once Lin Che slipped away, finding him again would be like searching for a needle in the ocean.
Although the auction was held in Changsha, these people did not fear the owner of the Red Mansion, Lord Miao Siye. After all, it was the Second Uncle and Miao Siye who had flagrantly broken their promises and lost the trust of everyone! Thus, the wealthy merchants ordered their hidden men to cease concealment, encircling the Red Mansion layer upon layer with no gaps.
“Indeed, arrogant. To provoke the Supreme Elder of the Dragon Domain upon breaking through is truly impatience,” Shi Qing remarked.
Ye Tian’s words were articulate and eloquent, leaving everyone present utterly stunned.
Because the deceased was a Gu tribe warrior, nine of them had come this time: one team leader at the third realm, and the rest at the second realm. Would they fear a mere second realm warrior?
Generally, as long as one left the anti-magic field barrier, their casting abilities would resume. But this old monster’s barrier was terrifyingly vast. How could they possibly approach to kill her from afar?
