Chapter 47: Entering the Mountains to Gather Herbs and Catch Field Mice

After finishing the meal, Huang Erya gathered everyone's bowls and chopsticks, carried them to the riverbank to wash them clean, and ensured that every single set was thoroughly spotless.

Once Huang Erya left, Gu Wennuan picked up her bamboo basket, preparing to head up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs. The weather was turning colder by the day, and everyone easily broke a sweat while working. Once a breeze blew, they would be very prone to catching chills, which would not only harm their health but also delay the construction project.

Gu Wennuan informed Zhou Chuangen of her plans and walked into the mountains with the basket on her back, along the way running into the educated youths from the village.

That weasel was not particularly large in size, but every posture and movement it made revealed a striking resemblance to a human being—not just in physical form, but in spirit.

"No, I still think that under unfair premises, any competition is meaningless." Zhao Hao maintained his view.

Returning to the second level of the base, he handed his pet over to Lin Zhe to take away, while the rest of them went together into that training iron cage.

"Hehe, wasn't I just hungry? Brother Ren, shall we go get breakfast?" Lu Ming scratched his head, then leaned closer to Han Ren and said with a smile.

Having only been there a few times before, he was not familiar with the students majoring in materials science. This was a large lecture class with nearly a hundred students in one classroom, and since people sat in different spots every time, even classmates from the same department might not know one another.

Ke Zhenhao woke up abruptly. The window had not been closed before he went to sleep, and raindrops drifted in, causing the curtains to sway in the wind. The chill of the rain made him feel rather uncomfortable.

"Another point is that he is deliberately letting us grow stronger, just to make you arrogant and lose your senses. Even when he chooses not to attack us, he is setting you up for a fatal downfall through excessive praise," Ling Buyue said.

His silence made the surrounding atmosphere tense. Could it be that Jia Baoyu truly intended to disregard even the Second Prince's face?

It is precisely at this critical moment of crisis that we venture to propose to Your Highness that securing a breakthrough starting from Qufu would be the superior strategy.

"Everyone disperse. Today's matter ends here, and no discussion is permitted. Whoever talks too much will be dismissed from Chenxuan immediately."

Upon finishing, Luka was just about to take a step forward when a series of pattering footsteps reached his ears from the other side of the plaza. A squad of dwarves marched in single file, all clad in identical leather armor, appearing to be the town guards.

However, Zhang Chen only made things difficult for Voldemort for a few days before letting him off, as there were far more important matters waiting for him.

He had long since prepared himself: either they wouldn't sign, or everyone would sign the exact same contract. Based on this alone, his title as an entrepreneurial mentor was securely locked in.

"Goodness gracious, this is unbelievable! Could this fellow really be a genius?" Guo Zhide began to doubt his entire worldview.

Especially that cultivator from the Lu Realm; earlier, when the withered stalks of the Yunlang Spirit Tea were mentioned, he had remained unmoved, but this time his eyes lit up instantly.

Chen Qiaoshan was well aware that many listed companies in later generations, in order to make their annual financial reports look a bit more presentable, would periodically sell off a few properties in Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou.

One possessed a terrifying bull's head, while the other bore a frightening horse's face. Could these be the legendary Ox-head and Horse-face guardians of the underworld?

As soon as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed, Peking University officially commenced the new semester. When Chen Qiaoshan went to the Student Affairs Office for registration, Zhou Sheng kept him behind alone for a simple reason: he had received an academic warning.

That angry and urgent voice, as though audible only to Angel, echoed from a thousand meters away. It caused Angel to pause for a moment, and the wind that had just been swirling around her slowly dissipated.

Following a majestic voice, the dark stone doors of the Hall of King Yama slowly opened, and two bizarre figures emerged from within.

One must know that more than a decade ago, Yang Yi and the Beast Sovereign had to join forces merely to put up a precarious defense against the Patriarch of Lianyun.

Now, when she sought to unlock those shackles and cast aside those memories, she abruptly discovered that once certain events had occurred, they could never be forgotten again.

Just as Bai Chun had anticipated, Zeng Hua pardoned royal nobles such as Xiang Ze and Nanhui, merely gathering them together in the city of Kuqa, while dispatching Mao Qiling, Wei Yuan, Qi Gu, Wang Xianqian, and Chen Guan at the head of thirty thousand infantry to march rapidly westward, successfully taking the virtually undefended states of Shule, Shache, and others.
