Volume 1, Chapter 40: Changyang Seeks to Prove Himself

“Shen Yi, you bastard!”

Chang Yang’s eyes welled with tears. She had waited for Shen Yi in the room for two days, but there was no news at all.

This was the place where he had discovered Leng Hong’er, the very spot where she had dug into the solid ice with her bare hands.

Look, see that ancient giant? The anger she had suppressed with her words flared up fiercely once again. Helplessly, she waved to Lady Hong, signaling her to go out and find someone else to take over.

Xia Shiguang wasn’t sure if her plan would work, but she knew she could no longer sit idly by and wait for death.

The usually calm young man showed no reaction, but his junior apprentice seemed a little excited, clearly still reeling from what had been said earlier.

Hu Tianba ordered men to carry Tang Fan out. Once outside the icy kingdom, they found an endless wasteland of pathogens. They had even brought a large vat.

It was odd to see the two brothers with one cat’s paw mark on each of their faces, asymmetrical. Next time, it would be better to make the scratches symmetrical.

“What do you intend to do?” Xia Shiguang looked up at Qiao Qiao. Seeing her so excited, one might think Gu Chen was some international superstar.

That night, they continued to hunt the giant skulls by the lakeside. This time, they brought juice made from red berries—a nemesis of the giant skulls. Even a trace of it would reduce a giant skull to a mere human skeleton, completely harmless. Facing the tidal wave of giant puppets, Li Mo and the others fought their way to the middle of the lake.

Xiao Xingming had guessed correctly; this was indeed a major problem that Jun Yan was currently facing. Therefore, he began consulting with Qiao and Ling Tai in his mind, devising countermeasures.

“A group photo?” Long Yi stared incredulously, pointing at his own face as if to confirm.

At this time, Shan County still had no television station. Zheng Jianguo recalled the few times he had listened to the radio, which was enough to identify Kou Bin’s troublesome friends. As he had suspected, they were neither promising figures nor successful risk-takers. He felt it was actually better this way—no matter good or bad, he wouldn’t be implicated.

“Aren’t you supposed to not want their memories? Why are you so close to them right away?” Long Zhuyang looked at the man’s practiced demeanor in surprise.

It was clear that the saying “Good wine needs no bush” no longer applied in this age of information overload.

Then, he took out a brocade box from his own space and carefully placed each silver needle inside on the table.

Unfortunately, he had forgotten that the Qing dynasty was not the Ming. The Qing relied on the Eight Banners as their core, ruthless and determined to remove any poison like him.

To put it bluntly, even if the entire first branch combined their strength, they still couldn’t compare to him, the sole heir of the third branch.

Lin Xichen was startled by the sudden noise. His remaining consciousness told him to quickly close the webpage, or if Mommy saw it, he was doomed.

If Audrey were to be granted a noble title, given her tireless efforts this year to aid Africa’s drought victims, leveraging her Nobel Prize to urge Western countries to extend aid, saving millions of disaster victims and children despite the worst drought in years, awarding her a baroness title would not be excessive.

Moreover, Zhou Xun’s appearance was already top-notch; a slight enhancement could trigger a dramatic transformation. Multiple factors combined to create such a stunning visage.

Compared to the other three families, the Cui family was the most distinct. While the others were family businesses, the Cui family always valued talent above all. Cui Haonan was the fourth son, with two older brothers and one sister, none of whom were involved in the family business.
