Chapter 74: The Siege

“Miss Bai, up ahead is Hongliu County. Is the bandit still in the city?”

In the distance, a city rose from the horizon, and at last, they could see farmland and travelers along the road.

Bai Xian closed her eyes in thought. Since yesterday, the mission's guidance had not changed.

“Zhang Yan is still in the city.”

At her words, the weariness of their journey over the past two days vanished.

“Hurry, we must enter the city at once and make sure he doesn't escape!”

Wu Qing, seeing this, followed closely behind, his gaze flickering between Liu Mingyu and Liu Yunrou.

“Exactly. Among us, our cultivation levels are now the lowest. If we don't work harder at our training, the gap between us and them will only widen,” Lu Zixuan sighed.

Luo Jingyang had escorted her to her destination. After she got out of the car and he was about to drive away, there was suddenly a tapping at the window. He turned his head to see Yang Qingluo.

Once the effects of the Dragon Essence become apparent, we’ll immediately launch the diluted Body Refinement Elixir, which will be renamed to something more accessible, like “Health and Vitality Tonic.”

Chen Mohan stared in shock at the man who had appeared out of thin air before her, unable to fathom how he had entered.

“Princess… is there some trouble?” Xian Yuxuan, who was escorting her back, couldn’t help but ask in a low voice when he saw her troubled expression.

“Yamei.” As Yamei was about to continue speaking, a hand reached out from beside her, tightly clasping her own.

At this moment, Xu Minghui was also weeping uncontrollably. He lifted his tearful eyes to look at me, filled with a pleading expression.

Overcome with excitement, Chen Mohan reached up and, with a swift pull, unzipped her white shirt, revealing her flawless and shapely figure to a certain someone.

Exxon Energy Group has always stood firm on two principles: first, their shares in Mobil Corporation would never be relinquished; second, the Lee Consortium’s capital must be withdrawn from Exxon Energy Group.

So, although the situation appeared even more precarious for Jiang Wei—fraught with peril—so long as he didn’t act recklessly, he could maintain this deadlock indefinitely.

Zhang Qian’s words left Wang Haoming not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Never mind ancient jade; of the various antiques passed down through the ages, seven or eight out of ten were unearthed from tombs. If they followed Zhang Qian’s reasoning, no one would dare collect antiques any longer.

“What kind of intelligence could be worth the lives of two exorcists?” Richie asked calmly.

“Let’s hear it. Unless it’s a blood feud, for the sake of these two heroes, I’m willing to reconcile,” Zhao Guodong nodded; just by saying this, he was already showing great respect to Su Mu and Pete.

Although Old Li didn’t know exactly what secret was hidden in Xia Haoran’s words, it was an undeniable fact that, amid the nation’s rapid development in recent years, those scientists who had tirelessly fought on the front lines had been neglected. Thus, compensation was only right and proper.

He leaned her body back, fed her a grape, and gently turned her face to the other side, resting it on his own shoulder. At that moment, Diana’s cheeks were flushed, beads of sweat from passion still lingering on her nose. If Alice saw, she would have guessed what had happened.

In the end, it was reason that triumphed over impulse. Xia Haoran knew that since he had chosen to be with Li Mengyao, he had to plan for the future and consider things carefully.
