Chapter 30: A Little Sweeter Taste

"Why don't you ask their leaders why my father's salary is so low that he has to go begging at his son-in-law's house just to have some meat?"

Zhu Jiahui’s face turned livid with rage. Habitually, she swung her hand to slap Ji Sisi across the face. "Have you lost your mind? How dare you speak to me like that!"

Ji Sisi, of course, would not retaliate against an elder, but she knew how to use her opponent's momentum against them. With a quick dodge, she applied a subtle, clever force. As a result, Zhu Jiahui missed her entirely.

Just then, Ye Qingnan frowned slightly. His eyes opened slowly, and his gaze drifted toward a certain direction in the Black Demon Mountain.

The conference room was already crowded with people—teachers and, even more so, students. On the surface, this was just a friendly exchange, but anyone who wasn't a fool knew the truth. Whether they were just there to watch the spectacle or genuinely concerned about the outcome of the competition, everyone had to show up.

Zhu Yiyi was, of course, joking. In reality, Lin Shuguang had already called her fourth brother, saying they would also send several cars to the airport to pick people up.

"Let's go. This area is reserved for the monks; we are staying across the way," Lu Ye said, gesturing toward the place he had come from.

Lou Wangge chose a spot with a beautiful view and sat down. Watching the lovely moonlight, her heart began to sink, settling into the depths, swaying gently with the breeze. She felt a sense of relaxation and pleasure she had never experienced before.

"A man can be lacking in other areas, but if he’s not up to the task in bed, that’s a major problem," Chen Miao chuckled, half-joking.

"What is going on..." Lin Fengliu was startled. Seeing the several yuan-beasts that had suddenly sprung up before him, his expression turned grave.

Ethan walked out from the depths of the palace, frowning as he looked at the guards outside the main gate, who were staring up at the sky as if they had discovered some kind of miracle.

Shi Yang sneered. He had just been kicked out by Wang Tian and was seething with anger. Seeing Xie Le at that moment, how could he possibly restrain his fury?

The old man shook his head. Zhong Chu had truly gone too far. This kind of issue shouldn't even be an issue, yet for the sake of those backing him, he had abandoned his principles.

Watching the Hongqi car carrying Qin Yang drive away, Huang Minshan couldn't help but feel a touch of loneliness in her heart. She had originally wanted to go with Qin Yang to visit Liubao, but a call from home last night required her to leave for Beijing immediately. Though dissatisfied, there was nothing she could do.

Mu Yiyi paused at the door, her hands hidden inside her sleeves, clutched tightly in front of her.

Wu Jie’s eyes narrowed slightly as he stared intently at the player called Brother Li. Brother Li seemed to feel a bit guilty under Wu Jie’s gaze, offering a sheepish smile before looking elsewhere.

"Brother Ji, just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it can't happen." Old Man Mei also frowned as he analyzed the situation. "Do you remember that the eldest brother used to have a ring? When he showed it to us back then, he claimed it was an heirloom. Didn't we all inspect it just now?"

"So, they chose to debut at this time just to ride the wave of popularity?" Zhao Qingcheng frowned.

Shui Qing took a shower and changed clothes in three minutes. Entering the kitchen, she saw Yun Huawei Yu taking out a frying pan and turning on the stove.

Behind them, the Yinglong Army led by Zhou Cao had begun to encircle from the rear, and row after row of Daxi soldiers were being gunned down by dense volleys of lead bullets.

Truth be told, Chen Yu felt somewhat uneasy—not because Chen Xing was being kind to Yanran, but because he felt that something was amiss. If there were no issues, Chen Xing would never have called him back while he was out on a date, and then acted as if nothing were wrong upon his return. This only suggested that the situation was even more serious.

Although she and Lin Ziyou had experienced some awkward moments in the past, her expression now showed no trace of embarrassment.

The two ended the communication. The Prime Minister was very satisfied with the results of today's talks, while a smile played on the face of Dean Hamilton. Did the Prime Minister really think that twenty percent of the research funding would be so easy to take away?
