Chapter 2602: Negotiation

Shi Tu eagerly questioned Jia Nan, wanting to know what he had gained from playing games for the past half-month.

"Didn't you want him to bring someone? Just say the word, and I'll bring him over," Reverend Lian Qi said.

"I wonder if Old Hei's idea will work. Never mind, I'll force him to use the Martial Dao patterns first," Li Bai muttered to himself.

Zuo Ting looked into Bai Yu's eyes, his heart immediately softened, and he slowly released his grip, feigning a cheerful smile.

It was Jia Nan's first time witnessing Old Master Hu's unreasonable and obstinate side, but he still nodded.

Especially in various construction projects, the family could only play the role of bystanders, unable to offer effective assistance.

Gradually, Li Bai discerned the snow cedar. However, before he could draw near, another wolf howl echoed. The sound came from behind him, exceptionally clear, and even carried an air of dominance.

What exactly they did within the garrison was confidential. Shui Miao, as Qing Xiran's father, didn't even have the right to know such details. Given this, how could he possibly feel like a father?

However, at this moment, the Huang brothers were completely unaware that they were already caught in a pincer movement. They had received reconnaissance reports from the south, confirming that Xu You had indeed established a command post there, and that the southern garrison's deployment was very weak, consisting of only about a thousand troops.

At the very least, when news spread that the Princess had rescued a stranger and allowed him to sleep in her quarters, the entire ship erupted in gossip. From Li Bai's origins to his relationship with the Princess, and even stories that might have occurred, the previously quiet ship suddenly buzzed with activity, becoming a common topic of conversation after every meal.

"I have never harbored any ill will towards you! Nor have I ever spied on you!" Lin Qiaoqiao stated, looking directly into Ye Qiang's eyes, her gaze clear and pure. Her delicate hand gently stroked Ye Qiang's cheek, and the subtle fragrance from her touch sent a ripple through his heart.

Upon witnessing this scene, the already depraved Liu Qu naturally could not control himself and immediately undressed, intent on consummating his desires.

Their search, though not urgent, led them to discover a cave. Deep within it lay the skeleton of a deceased cultivator, and beside the remains, they found a cloth bag.

"Do you really think the military would use so many drones to lure zombies for no reason?" the man countered, not answering directly but instead posing a casual question, leaving Ye Qiang to speculate. While this might seem like an act of deliberate mystification, it certainly made the man appear more "profound and enigmatic."

In truth, Lu Zihao's tactic was sound. However, both Lu Ning and he overlooked a crucial factor: Lu Qianqiu's combat experience.

Borussia Dortmund fans who couldn't attend the away game sat in front of their televisions, excitedly gesticulating, as thrilled as children.

Ghost of Sorrow, with a puzzled expression, circled the wooden platform and then vigorously knocked on the door a few times, as if hoping to reactivate some mechanism. He was treating the door like their family's television set.

Before their departure, however, the Grand Elder instructed the Second Elder to remain where he was and wait, explaining that it was to rendezvous with Ouyang Rongrong, Ouyang Ming, and the others.

Once Qing Xin had adjusted her state, she took Yang An and left the area, beginning their search for traces of demons.

They enjoyed a boisterous lunch. The Chu family hadn't felt this way in a long time; everyone was genuinely happy today. Chu Ci, along with Gao Fuli, truly integrated into the family for the first time, just like in the past, without open conflict, hidden struggles, or any plots or schemes.

"Don't follow me," Chu Mo said blandly, his words like a splash of cold water that instantly stiffened Jin Meng'er's body. Yet, Chu Mo walked away without a backward glance.

He had been observing Qin Qi the entire time, having noticed early on that Qin Qi hadn't moved since entering and hadn't familiarized himself with the race track.

Lin Qiuping was one of the few friends Nan Qingqing truly clicked with, and she didn't want Lin Qiuping to get entangled in any trouble.

The factory director cast a glance at Zhang Zhiwei, observing him with his head tilted, a thoroughly roguish expression on his face. His smile, no matter how one looked at it, appeared sinister; he hardly resembled a good person.

Some pushed open their windows, others stepped out of their homes, and still others paused wherever they were to gaze at the sky.

Song Yushan was stunned. While the Gan Ning Temple indeed wasn't bustling with people, it surely hadn't fallen so far that even its abbot had to resort to fortune-telling for a living, had it?

As the Yellow Dragon Pill's medicinal effects were about to diminish, Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but feel a growing sense of despair.

Subsequently, Chang Yong revisited the haunted house, specifically checking the Hydra in the maze. Finding no new ghostly handprints, he concluded that the amusement park had been safe for the day.

"Hmph, you dare threaten me with my grandmother? Guoguo will sever one of your arms!" Guoguo huffed adorably and chuckled. She had already secretly placed a curse on Xuan Yan when they made their pinky promise.

Tang Hao could control his strength precisely. His punch didn't create a hole in the door panel; instead, it merely knocked the door flat onto the ground.

The same applied to Claire. Had Liang Ye not swiftly brought her to the chandelier, she would have been killed within seconds of the attack.

As he finished speaking, he folded the newspaper, immediately snatched the can Yang Qi had just pulled out, and proceeded to walk into the living room on his own. Yang Qi shook his head with a smile, then followed him into the house along with Xu Jinglei.

With just a glance, Yang Qi withdrew his gaze. The mark was simple, yet it contained a wealth of information, including when it was left and how to make contact. It was clear it had been prepared half a month prior.

Fortunately, this time was unlike the last; Liang Ye did not fall downstairs but instead slid slowly down the wall to the ground.

Heavenly Dao Witch Artifacts were items that not even all twelve Witch Lords of the Witch God World possessed. Many Witch Lords, in fact, had no Heavenly Dao Witch Artifacts available to them at all.

Military wives are always worthy of respect. Furthermore, Tang Hao was the oldest member of the special task force, so there was truly nothing unusual about everyone calling Yang Lin "sister-in-law."

When he emerged from the escort agency, Ruo Tian Wuyun's face was grim. It wasn't because the 5,000 taels deposit had been withheld, but because the head of the agency informed him that the escort mission had failed, and he wouldn't be able to accept any new escort tasks for three days.

"I'm the one who gets unlucky every time I meet you!" Qin Zheng retorted, growing angry. "Why does this person always say the opposite of what he means? The first time I met him, I was inexplicably knocked unconscious and sold to a brothel. The second time, I encountered bandits raiding the town. Who knows what misfortune awaits me this time?"
