Chapter Forty-Nine: The Sleeping Beauty Forced to Awaken

Chapter 49

It was rare for Jinjin to take the initiative to depend on him.

Hmm, is she only like this whenever she is completely exhausted?

Qi Yan pondered, his mind wandering to who knows where.

Until a movement from the side caught his attention. He tilted his head and looked at Dragon Aotian.

Dragon Aotian was filled with doubt and suspicion, his gaze darting back and forth between the two of them.

This little ash-grey guy must be an NPC, right? What is going on here? Why does it feel like this NPC is protecting Zhao Jinchu?

The weapon in Dragon Aotian's hand—

"That's not the point, alright? It's my first time meeting you, and your first time meeting me. You even wanted to kill me just a moment ago. How is it that in less than half a day, we are now about to..." Ning Fuchen asked directly in front of everyone.

"Something is about to go wrong." Holding the test report, the staff member looked at the data on the sheet, his expression turning terrifyingly pale as if he had just seen a ghost. He simply could not figure out how such data could possibly exist.

Ever since returning home, her mind had been in a tumult. Finally, she made a phone call to him, and after that, he would call her at least twice a day, talking endlessly.

"Alright, alright, there will be another time. You make it sound like I'm some kind of villain." He simply couldn't stand the way Priest Tian cried about being broke right now.

"This humble official did indeed find this poison very similar to a beneficial medicine known to him, yet there remained many doubts that prevented me from being certain, which is why I did not dare to speak of it. Consort Xue truly has eyes like torches." The final sentence naturally conveyed a deep sense of helplessness.

"Through the operation of various instruments, after making a profit, we found the substance that provides energy via the internet. Under such circumstances, the enhancement of increments played a crucial role in the repair of the system."

Ning Fuchen raised a hand and cast an illumination spell. The cave, which had been devoid of light for years, was instantly bright as day. Ning Fuchen walked very slowly, not missing a single detail of every step he took.

"Young Master Song, with the backing of the Jiang family, why go to such trouble to deal with the Lin family?" Jiang Ming frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

The moment the two of them stepped out of the Chunling Restaurant, they happened to run into Ouyang, who was searching for them. Without time to explain in detail, the three of them hurried to the Su Residence.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Noble Consort, sitting here waiting is rather boring. Why don't we guess who will bag the most game during today's hunt?" The Crown Princess suddenly stepped forward with a smile and said.

After Wei Du stepped out, the five great elders followed her inside shortly after. As soon as they entered, everyone felt the bone-chilling cold emanating from Wei Gutian. They exchanged glances; if the Sect Master could be this angry, the situation must be quite serious.

Four years. Calculating the time, it should have been four years! After leaving the Nan family, he had spent about a year cultivating alongside Lin Shuihan in the Qilin Sect, but later... Well, now he had finally returned having completed his studies, and he no longer needed to worry about anyone bullying him in the future.

—After all, an aunt was merely an aunt. Lady Pei acting out of kindness to take her in temporarily was one thing, but her stubbornly clinging on and refusing to leave was quite another.

There was really no need to ask this. If Luoyang could not be held, how would Li Jinglong have come before him? He merely wanted to hear Li Jinglong say it himself, to promise that Feng Changqing and his reinforcements would definitely arrive and that Luoyang was safe.

Though disappointment was inevitable, this was actually within expectations. If space were so easily punctured to let outside light and sound filter in, then given how many times she had entered and exited, heaven knows how many external things would have slipped in alongside her. At this rate, wouldn't the spiritual Qi within the space be diluted and neutralized as well?

"Could it still be your boss's problem?" Wu Hua blocked any possibility of Bai Hong refuting him right from the start. Zhou Changde was standing right here; even if it genuinely was his fault, Bai Hong would never dare to say to his face that his boss was in the wrong.

"What do you mean by that? How was I plotted against by Niu Xin'er?" Zong Jing asked with a puzzled expression.
