Chapter 124: The Heart in a Dish

Busy in the kitchen, Uncle Qiu heard the lively commotion outside and said to Aunt Qiu, who was busy boiling dumplings beside him, "Our daughter couldn't make it home for the holidays last year, so it was just us two old folks; there was no festive spirit at all. This year, it’s going to be much livelier."

Aunt Qiu skillfully scooped up the dumplings and replied with a smile, "I heard from Xiaoyu that Meng will also be spending the holiday with us. It’s bound to be a bustling celebration. You’ll have to pull out all the stops and whip up a few of your signature dishes for them."

Seeing Huang Guihua and Zhang Xiaoye crowding around Wang Wenyu, while Zhang Chungeng struggled to carry dishes and dumplings all by himself, Er Ya hurried over to help.

As Wang Wenyu became the center of attention, Jiang Fan felt like an extra. He watched the expression on everyone’s face...

Qu Tan'er finally remembered the matter, touched her hair, and nodded with an embarrassed look.

Bombarding them with heavy artillery seemed rather foolish. By the time the general coordinates were relayed to the artillery regiment and those men set up their cannons to fire, the Chinese would have long since vanished.

He had harbored such thoughts before, but lacked the means; this presented a perfect opportunity.

With this settled, Xian'er felt at ease. It seemed the favor she had asked of Brother Zhang had been successful.

With that, she forcibly pulled Prince Xiao's hand away, brushed off her clothes, and walked away proudly.

However, this aligned with the production team's requirements; after all, they knew Li Chen was currently the most popular contestant, and having him appear as the grand finale was exactly the effect they desired.

But if they didn't do it this way, how else could they entrap such a large force of infantry all at once?

This made Li Chen very happy. Ever since his debut on The Voice, he had been considering the matter of hiring an agent. Yet, he was worried about finding someone unreliable who might sabotage him. He knew well that agents cheating celebrities was not uncommon on Earth, and it was even more so in this parallel world.

Zhao Hua would never bully others. But if anyone offended him, he would retaliate tenfold. Anyone who dared to harm his loved ones would meet a fate without a burial place. This became Zhao Hua’s principle of life after Chessia’s death.

Finally arriving at the center of Scorching Sun City, Wuming was stunned. The two massive celestial orchids and nine-colored spiritual lights he had seen from the mysterious serpent star-car were actually the barriers cast by these two buildings in the city center.

Looking at Fang Tianjing’s curious gaze, Ying Zheng simply gave a vague explanation that it was an idea from his close friend, the proprietor of the Luohua Pavilion, Feng Si, effectively brushing off the topic of publicity.

Although the Prince was not born to the Empress Dowager, his mother had passed away from illness shortly after his birth, and he had been raised by the Empress Dowager ever since. The bond between the Emperor and the Prince was as close as that of biological brothers; it was for this reason that the Emperor dared to entrust the Dragon Organization to the Prince with such confidence.

Director Li’s home was not as grand as Ling Fan had imagined; it was quite simple and modest. However, a few precious antiques caught Ling Fan’s attention. It seemed that the Director, sitting right before him, had a hobby of collecting antiques. It appeared he had found a way to curry favor with the top official of Nanyang City.

"I have already found the fourth-grade medicinal herb, and I think I shall leave now," Duanshuiliu said with an unnatural smile, feeling a touch of reluctance.

Among those four hundred and fifty foundation-building blood guards, one hundred were armed with the same type of superior-grade spiritual treasure: blood sabers. Strangely, every time a saber struck a Thunder-Winged Bird, a red dot would fly out from the wound, merging into the wielder's body. The soldier would immediately be filled with vigor and fight even more ferociously.

Chen Yuxiang was left between laughter and tears, but unwilling to dampen the boy’s kindness, he locked the courtyard gate and followed the flightless bird toward the dining hall.

"Jin Ying, what are you doing!" While focused on fighting the prehistoric humans, Qin Chuan hadn't noticed that Jinyinhua had already launched an assassination attempt. Seeing her lunge at him viciously now, he let out a thunderous roar.

Lin Feng dared not dally; he immediately followed the Blood Maiden's guidance, and using the method she provided, he escaped the illusion array shortly after.

Sensing the inner core radiating a misty aura within Shen Boru's purple mansion, Zhang Tianzheng could not express how thrilled he was. At this rate of cultivation, it wouldn't take many years for Shen Boru to reach his own level of power.
