Chapter 158: Friendship in Poverty

To be able to take care of their family, both sisters chose to marry into neighboring villages.

At first, out of consideration for Liang Hongyu, her husband's family would frequently help support her family, but there was still no sign of a child in her womb.

A year later, the family lost its harmony because of her failure to conceive. Her mother-in-law directly cursed her as a barren hen in front of the neighbors. Her forbearance and submission did not bring her peace, but rather betrayal by her husband.

Because they had moved in together before the legal age and had not obtained a marriage certificate, she was ruthlessly driven back to her maiden home by her mother-in-law when she was twenty years old. Seeing that her own illness and the burden of the family were dragging down her two daughters, Liang's mother drowned herself in the river.

Jiang Ying, right in front of Liang Hongyu...

Gao Junchen covered his chest with both hands, trying to struggle to his feet, only to be kicked down to the ground by Lin Feng with a single blow. The force of Lin Feng's punch was immense; even with Gao Junchen's cultivation at the peak of Inner Strength, it would take him at least ten minutes to recover, and those ten minutes would be more than enough for Lin Feng to kill him countless times over.

Given the scale of the forces they had dispatched, unless experts from some super sects appeared, who could possibly make them escape?

With her looks and intelligence, had she been born into a middle-class family, she could have lived a much happier life.

Several personal guards stepped forward and dragged the kneeling magistrate outside without any mercy...

Hearing this, the crowd chuckled knowingly, well aware that this was deliberately making things difficult for Lin Feng. After all, everyone knew that aside from those few professional powerhouses in the club, Tieshan possessed the strongest strength of them all.

Especially when he tried to dodge, only to find that his body had gone numb and his reactions had slowed down under the assault of the dual forces of ice and fire, his complexion turned deathly pale.

Qin Fan was almost choked by his Uncle Steward's reasoning. At that very instant, Qin Fan felt as though he had dug a pit just to bury himself.

After the joy of surviving the ordeal, Fang Cun began to worry about his own situation once again. Trapped in this cave, the probability of relying on the people of the True Martial Sect to find him was far too low. After all, this place was a remote and desolate area devoid of human habitation, and he would have to rely on his own strength to figure out a way out of here.

"Looking for a doctor? What kind of doctor? What injuries did that young master sustain, and where on earth have they gone?" Yue Ling grew anxious, staring at her intently.

Ling Yin had already resumed her program initialization a few days ago and had been running diagnostics continuously.

"Say no more. I will not take the money, and as for the tax reductions, forget about it. I never intended to make heavy investments in Dongcheng County anyway," Pei Te said with a resolute tone.

As fellow high-ranking wizard apprentices, those with weak combat capabilities had zero power to fight back when encountering peers of the same rank, whereas high-ranking wizard apprentices like Hastings and Rebecca were different. Not to mention fighting opponents of the same rank, they could even put up a fight against mediocre one-star wizards.

Summaries and analyses like this were usually spoken by Song Ming, but now the role had quietly shifted to Liu Mingzhu, yet neither Song Ming nor Qin Shiyue felt the slightest bit out of place. Circumstances are stronger than men—that was simply the way things were.

However, seeing Lin Feng's current state, Huang Shi felt so anxious inside that he wanted to rush right up and check whether the boss was truly injured. Yet since the boss hadn't spoken, he didn't dare to charge forward rashly. In case he interrupted whatever the boss and the others were still doing, rushing over recklessly and causing trouble for the boss would truly be a grave mistake.

Seeing this scene, the young wizard was extremely decisive as well. His body suddenly jerked, retreating backward, while his two arms, transformed into rattan vines, directly detached from his shoulders and separated from his torso.

Yet now, watching with their own eyes as Lin Feng was struck down and killed by the blood-red sword, they didn't know what else to say. Deep down, they felt it was strange; under normal circumstances, Lin Feng shouldn't have just died like that. Wondering what was going on, they thought to themselves, could it be that Lin Feng truly couldn't hold on any longer, and his demeanor earlier was just a facade?

Midway through her shrill curses, she suddenly clutched her chest, began panting heavily, and then stretched out her legs and collapsed flat, her two hands trembling uncontrollably.

Hearing Lan Shi's laughter, Miao Cuihua abruptly stopped crying and glared fiercely in his direction. Damn it, it had been almost a year since she transmigrated here, and this was the first time she had ever been in such a disheveled state. Even the time she was sold to a brothel, she had never been stripped bare by anyone.
