Chapter 157: Mother Jiang's Complex

Mother Jiang affectionately stroked Jiang Ping’s head, then looked at Jiang Ying, who was embracing Wang Wenyu, and said with a guilty expression, "There are some things your mother was originally too ashamed to voice, but keeping them lodged in my heart has been distressing. Today your younger brother is not here, but with Wenyu present, it is just the same, so I will share a few heartfelt words with you sisters.

Although I am merely a rural woman, I also understand the principle that knowledge can change one's destiny. However, your father passed away early, and lacking support, I simply had no ability to send all three of you sisters to school. Choosing to let your younger brother go to school was still driven by the rural mindset of favoring boys over girls. I never expected that you sisters would harbor no resentment, and instead remain so filial and sensible.

The more well-behaved you were..."

Meanwhile, the night sky was similarly dotted with points of fire, as various models of aircraft took off and landed, creating a brilliant spectacle.

Ye Xuan miscalculated. She had expected Ye Tian to cover his eyes and apologize, but instead, Ye Tian was wiping away his drool while staring fixedly at Ye Xuan's flawless body.

"Mikami, you are very active, which is a good thing. Such a spirit is worthy of others to emulate, but... as a newly graduated newcomer, if you stand out too much, it is easy to provoke resentment from others," Okamoto Yoshiki said with a hint of hesitation.

Then came the astonishing part: those metal fragments, as if riding upon a wave of golden light, slowly passed underneath the feet of the mechanical lifeform army and flew toward the rear.

In his eyes, the only people in this world worthy of the utmost respect were his own father and mother, and perhaps Ning Moli could count as half a person... As for the officials of the Huaxia government, what did they have to do with him?

His eyes were useless as well. Amidst such heavy dust, even if it were a spirit demon, it would be impossible to see the world beneath the particles.

He had long since realized what a detestable liar she was. However, the one thing she said—that she did it "to protect him"—was something he had never doubted.

Yet, a cold smile curved the corner of National Master Wu’s mouth. He made a motion across his spatial ring, and a black bone flute appeared in his hand.

Wang Xi smiled indifferently, and Liu Yun gently patted Wang Xi's shoulder to offer comfort before turning away to attend to other guests. The bartender Jason pushed a freshly mixed drink across the counter toward Wang Xi.

"Is that so?" Sikong Yun laughed heartily and said, "I knew long ago that you harbored malicious intentions; could I possibly have been unprepared?" As his voice fell, Tong Guan, Leng Xiao, and Hongli were seen leading their men, flying in on swords.

"You? Just who on earth are you people? What do you want?" After the initial shock and astonishment, Lu Yun asked with extreme vigilance.

In Chunhua Ancient City stood the largest auction house on this continent, dealing in medicinal pills, spiritual artifacts, rare herbs, and various spiritual beasts. Of course, without an invitation, there was simply no way to sneak in.

After this continued for a full hour, Yanyu felt that she had reached the absolute limit of exhaustion. Just as she was drifting off to sleep, the spirit ring in her mouth finally stopped absorbing her blood.

The Evergrande Group was naturally wealthy and powerful; this initial sum of money meant nothing at all to them. If they could use this to establish their brand, the assistance it would bring them would be greatest of all, and could even be said to possess terrifying momentum.

"Thank you, Demon Lord. Yue'er will remember it." Seeing the anger on Bai Qianhui's face gradually recede, Yue'er narrowed her eyes at Yinyin and smiled with utmost gratitude.

Furthermore, the combat effectiveness of the black-tipped leafhopper was quite astonishing. They could fight continuously for seven days and seven nights without rest, and the black barbs on their legs were as sharp as fine weapons, slicing through iron almost like mud. Coupled with their sheer numbers and outer shells as hard as rock, breaching the strongest defensive fortifications was merely a matter of time.

Fang Li and his companions did not have to wait long. According to the usual pattern, whenever villains who oppressed others did not bring a gang of lackeys along with them, they would certainly be accompanied by a group of sycophantic lackeys when committing bad deeds. Evidently, Young Master Liu Bin's actions still failed to escape this predictable pattern.
