Volume 1, Chapter 51: Catching Someone's Weak Spot

The four of them dawdled as they walked toward the new work site. The peanuts had been harvested a few days ago, and today was the day to gather the sorghum.

Chen Ling inspected things with an excruciatingly meticulous care. While checking, she kept asking whether it hurt here or ached there.

Upon returning, Xu Yang intended to dispose of all the jadeite. It was said that the Myanmar Jade Emporium was about to begin again, which presented a golden opportunity for Xu Yang to rake in money. Boss Zhang had started preparing early on and issued an ultimatum that Xu Yang must attend.

The descent continued in a quiet stillness, with no sound other than the occasional bubbles exhaled by Yang Fan out of sheer boredom, until Yang Fan's feet finally brushed against the lakebed.

To introduce oneself in such a manner—not only brazen-faced, but with a character shallow enough to see right through at a glance—made it easy to guess with the back of one's foot that his moral fiber left much to be desired.

Mo Xiyao froze for a second, then hurried over in a panic. Chu Yan supported Samantha's neck, lifting her gently. Fighting back the surging nausea in her chest, Mo Xiyao stripped off Samantha's leather jacket and laid it aside.

Xu Yang chuckled sheepishly, scratching the back of his head with embarrassment. It was true that he seemed rather neglectful as a boss. Since he happened to have time today, he might as well pay a visit. It seemed lately he had been helping this person and that person appraise jade while completely ignoring his own business; he would go take a look today.

Many greenhorns and novices newly entering the trade easily fell for such items, because they looked just like genuine antiques. Combined with special artificial aging techniques, they possessed a heavy sense of history and weathered vicissitudes.

Though her heart ached with reluctance, in order to harden her resolve to sever this bond, Wu Nuo could only maintain an indifferent and cold demeanor toward the butler and servants.

"Dad~" Liu Jining dragged out her voice in a long whine, then stood up with a flushed face and declared loudly, "Who says I'm together with that guy? From now on, he and I are enemies! Hateful! If I see him when school starts next year, I'll make him wish he were dead!" With that, she stomped upstairs.

After saying this, Yang Fan did not waste any more time and stepped straight into the golden radiance yonder. To Nan Surou and Ren Woxing, Yang Fan's stride appeared utterly composed, yet his own heart was beating like a drum.

"However, all good things must come to an end, but we can always reunite after parting. No matter where we are, we still share the same bright moon. As the New Year approaches, this consort wishes you all peace and smooth endeavors, with joy ever abiding." She raised her cup once more, inviting everyone to drink.

After a long exhale, the breath within her body steadied considerably. Teng Yue raised a hand, gently wiping away the blood from the corners of my lips, her expression filled with deep concern.

Fortunately, Shiyi had not come out together with Jiang Mier; otherwise, Shiyi could already picture the camera cutting back and forth between the two of them.

Confronted with such hardcore knowledge, many viewers were instantly yanked out of their casual banter.

At the command, Honchkrow waved its left wing and without the slightest hesitation swept all the remaining heat wave high up into the air.

Just as Qingling had said, transported through the magic array, Chen Fan now found himself abruptly in an entirely new environment. To his disappointment, not a single teammate was anywhere to be seen around him.

The health bar in the upper left corner had long been plummeting erratically like a malfunctioning machine. Originally expected to last five minutes, it now looked as though it wouldn't even hold out for a single minute.

Seeing that Tang Guo had no intention of helping, Huya smiled and continued adding firewood to the flame. Although his left hand could no longer move, he was still a fine beastman capable of assisting females.
