Chapter 96: Severing Family Ties Once and for All

Village Chief Li’s patience, already frayed, finally snapped at her shamelessly unreasonable behavior. Nothing but a stain on the village.

If the matter ended here, all the better. There would be fewer tricks and schemes to deal with in the future. Better to let them lose all hope and force them to understand that they must earn their own keep through honest labor. Over this period, with several daughters no longer supporting them, they had begun to go out and work for their rations themselves. That was for the best.

If this continued, they would ruin the village’s reputation entirely. Then who would still dare to marry their daughters into Li Family Village?

Li Debao, that useless wretch, was not even fit to be compared with a woman. When it came to working for labor points, even his children were more capable than he was. Truly a hopeless case.

“Why don’t we do this instead? Let’s play a game. It’s called Chicken Chase. What do you all think?”

The monkey was quick-witted too, knowing that the main task now was to dispel the awkwardness between everyone. Drinking games and little contests were naturally the most fitting way to do that.

“This camp can no longer be held. Send the order down: prepare to withdraw and defend the second camp.”

Jia Fu gave the command.

Those who had personally gone to inspect it reached the same conclusion. Some even fetched digging tools, pried up the stone slab, and pulled it out together with the soil and the roots of bamboo.

That summonsing voice rang out within his mind, making his body tremble while his eyes burst with brilliant light. He did his best to steady his breathing, forcing his expression to remain calm.

The Dark Lord summoned a massive fire serpent, which climbed over the giant’s body and set off explosions upon it. He let frost gather across the giant, then summoned traps to impede its advance. He tried every spell he knew.

“Tell your people to leave this place... The territory covered by my Infernal Black Banner will become the boundary of this demon training ground. Anyone not involved in training who comes near will trigger the banner’s attack.”

Ling Fengzi spoke to the two of them.

As he spoke, the game character controlled by Zhang Jiang switched to a dagger and stabbed repeatedly at the zombie character controlled by Mo Cheng, while the star-shaped kill score in the lower right corner kept climbing.

A streak of sword light, surpassing Sen’s sorcery, severed the shadow and shot toward Chu Feng at an unimaginable speed...

Chu Feng’s pupils contracted. On that broken blade, he sensed an unprecedented sense of danger.

The attacks Dian summoned—the flames, the frost—were all easily avoided by the hounds.

It was worth noting that AC Milan fielded its full strength in these two matches, while Inter Milan and Real Madrid sent out nearly half their substitutes. Moreover, in a warm-up match of this kind, the intensity was nowhere near that of a real Serie A battle fought with all weapons drawn.

“A fair fight, is it?”

Lin Mufeng narrowed his eyes and gave a cold laugh. With a casual grab, he seized one of the giant shark monsters beside him, smashed a fist into its head, then caught the beam of light the monster spat out and hurled it fiercely at Ohayo.

Su Su was pushed up onto the lakeshore by Xu Xian. Her clothes were soaked through, making her movements awkward, so she had no choice but to sacrifice all dignity and climb up on hands and knees. Xu Xian followed close behind.

Daoist White Bear’s heart sank. In the middle of summer, he actually felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar. A long-forgotten, soul-deep terror instantly seized him, gripping his heart with brutal force.

Lan Mengqi no longer dared move recklessly. She puckered her lips in grievance, tears streaming down her face.

Yingchun did not finish what she was saying. What she had meant to ask was whether she was supposed to let Yu Ling end up like herself, in such a miserable state.

Su Su pressed her lips together and took a timid step back, all the while giving Li Gongfu an SOS glance for help.

The similar texture filled Nata with a nameless sense of fear, as though she were facing the machines in a factory for the very first time.

“So it was because of the Azure Mirage Pearl on Chen Gong that the prohibitions of the Mirage Thunder Palace were triggered and drew us inside?”

Wang Jinglong said.

Scarlet blood burst forth from Big Steamed Bun’s mouth and the gaping hole in his neck. The ghastly sight was simply unbearable to look at.

Although golden ladybugs were hard to find, under Wang Ziyi and the others’ wholehearted search, they still managed to find a few.
