Chapter 140: Zhou Wenxiu's Debt

Although she acknowledged that everything had been built thanks to Jiang Butong, a woman sometimes yearns for someone to lean on, allowing herself a moment of respite.

This was the greatest difference between Wang Yun and Chen Pan'er. Chen Pan'er possessed an inherent toughness and a strong drive for her career, but for Wang Yun, despite being slightly older, she preferred at heart to be a delicate woman.

Jiang Butong keenly sensed Wang Yun's subtle emotions, and he knew...

"Yes, my lord." Upon hearing this, the Wuheng knight, who had traveled from afar to report, immediately saluted and departed.

It was not merely digging a pit and pouring oil to ignite it; it was a cleverly rigged trap. While retaining the property of igniting upon contact with fire and being nearly impossible to extinguish, the trap also slowed the explosive combustion rate of the oil, making it difficult to detect when there was already a significant amount of light in the surroundings.

"I am in charge now, and I have torn up this check. If you are short on money in the future, just come to me. I will never let the two of you starve." Seeing her remain silent, Ning Jing, who understood her stubborn nature, decided that if she wouldn't speak, then so be it. She had already made her own conclusion.

"Don't tell me you saw that young man being bullied by a thug and decided to play the hero to save the damsel?" Song Ruyu crossed her arms, looking at him with a playful smirk.

"That's for sure. Back then, who in Luoshui City didn't know the Ye family's young master, Qianye? He was notoriously infamous," Li Yan scoffed.

Or could it be that the problem did not lie within the dumplings themselves, but rather in something else, and the dumplings were merely a catalyst?

An Hao beamed with joy at his words. Although I know my brother can support me, no younger sister should rely on her brother forever. Yet, hearing him say this was enough. I know deep down that no one can walk with me until the very end, but I will still cherish the words my brother said to me tonight—it may not be very realistic, but it warms the heart.

Once the teleportation array was formed, Ape Spirit stepped into the formation and performed a hand seal, causing a beam of light to shoot out from the edge of the array.

Now that An Hao had so many followers, this comment immediately drew the scorn of a vast multitude.

Ye Kai merely held the tip of the whip with three fingers, but no matter how hard she pulled, she could not draw it back.

Tong Feifei noticed the media gathering around, so she transformed her angry face into a smile.

It wasn't until the people had walked far away that Madam Jin finally let out a sigh of relief. If it hadn't been for Gu Jia stepping forward in time to support her, she might have fallen.

Through a twist of fate, based on Hawkins' flawed deduction, the Kid Alliance turned their great ship around, pointing their blades toward the rising star, Buggy.

Everything that needed to be prepared had been ready long before the child was born. Wei Yi nodded, watched Zhao Di leave, and then continued to keep watch by the bedside, waiting for Gu Jia to wake up.

Those around Guan Xuan were terrified, instinctively fleeing backward. The pressure radiating from the Thunder Lion King was simply too much for them to bear.

"This matter is of great importance; you must consider it carefully. Otherwise, if you become an unjust ghost for no reason, you will have no one else to blame," Chen Ken said, unable to discern whether the truth was being spoken, and thus offered a warning.

Could Barbossa not see through Davy Jones' intentions? If he couldn't, he wouldn't be worthy of his current position. The reason he agreed to the other party's request was to stall for time; the Black Pearl needed time to cast a spell.

"Alright everyone, it is already quite late. Please hurry and choose your rooms," Elder Su said, approaching the group to remind them.

I pulled the fruit knife from my pocket, gripping it backhanded in one hand. Just as the zombie was only a meter away, I roared, spun around, and plunged the knife into Four-Eyes.

The heroes below, hearing that Qiu Jin had suffered such a heavy blow, felt as if they had been given a dose of reassurance; they all raised their arms and cheered, overcome with wild joy.

Xie An and the others had also heard the content as they wished, though the conversation was so excruciatingly awkward that it was unbearable to listen to.
