Chapter 75: Summoning the Spirits

Because of the name Cao Xiuqin, the madam found herself in a bit of a bind.

She smiled smoothly, "I'm sorry, but none of the girls here are named Cao Xiuqin!"

None?

The Wild Dog slammed the table, his face fierce. "Don’t try to fool me—I sold that girl myself, how could I not know?"

...

He had set out to build a business with confidence, dreaming of prosperity, hoping to provide a better life for Liu Yiren and his family. But he ended up losing everything, nearly landing in prison. Jiang Jun was racked with guilt and disappointment, his spirits low, devoting all his energy to housework and helping Liu Yiren care for their child.

"I was wrong, I deserve punishment, I dare not act out again. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Bai Chenyen knelt on the bed, giving full play to her acting talent.

When he disliked something, the aversion was written plainly on his face, allowing no one any hope of approaching him.

These past few days, Liu Sanshi had been inundated with dinner invitations. Take today, for example: from four to six in the afternoon, his phone barely stopped ringing. Every call was about arranging a meal.

Someone took the lead in saying goodbye, and they all quietly departed the Hua Wubie Villa, leaving only Pei Yuan and Lin Yiwei sitting uncomfortably, as though on pins and needles.

Word had already spread that Yin Xichen would be coming to the Phoenix Palace. The Concubine dressed herself up and hurried out to greet him.

Before the prison guards, Big Fool Biao and his usual group, though they swaggered about, dared not show a hint of resistance when following Brother Mi. Otherwise, they would face relentless punishment.

After that, Li Ke's cultivation became much simpler. Zhang Hao set up a Spirit Gathering Array so she could fully absorb the spiritual energy.

Yang Feng wiped the sweat from his brow, thinking to himself: If only I still had that Celestial Spirit Qi, things wouldn’t be nearly so troublesome now.

A young man led a donkey into Nanpi City at dawn. "There really is no entry tax! No wonder Nanpi City, though small, is so bustling!" he murmured, then walked his donkey into the city.

The Bai family hurried to explain that the Demigod Ancestor had not appeared in a long time. They had tested many times recently; their conclusion was he was either absent or something had gone wrong. The real opponents were only those young disciples, and they swore repeatedly that they wouldn’t dare conceal anything.

"Brother, I'm home." Luo Tianyi pushed open her brother's door and looked inside... At that moment, how could one describe Luo Tianyu? He seemed a bit wild, leaving Luo Tianyi stunned.

He finally spoke hoarsely to the guards behind him, "Prepare the best coffin for burial, and when the battle is over, I will personally escort the tomb to Runan, so my uncle may rest in his homeland." "Yes!" the guards answered in unison.

"Who are those people? Why are we running?" As Xia Luo ran, she gradually drew closer to Silver Fox.

These days, Zhao Junzhuo had nothing better to do, so he asked Anxin for the recipe for lamb. Thus, he kept studying that recipe! "I’ve made a few of my best pastries as well. As for Anxin, even if she can’t make it through, she has us to help her." Bai Dujuan addressed everyone present.

The power of the thunder was far less than he expected, and all the energy came from his own spiritual strength?

"Oh! Have you retreated? Very well, the two of you carry me away! Do not let my body fall!" With that, Guan Yu closed his eyes and fainted. Yet, throughout, his body remained upright, never toppling.

Soon after, they discovered that the others who had remained motionless were all dead, though their deaths were not as gruesome as the one who had been smashed to pulp.

"You’re quite the talker, girl. I did have my handsome days, but only until I was twenty. After that, my hair started to fall out and my weight slowly climbed." Zhang Jianghe looked at them and laughed.
