Chapter 27: A Consultation Fee of Ten Million

"Unless what?"
Wang Wanshan was deeply anxious. "Doctor Liu, please speak frankly!"

"Unless Young Master Wang has been poisoned!"

As he finished speaking, Liu Yizhen's expression darkened further, casting a doubtful glance at Wang Hai, lying on the sickbed.

...

Fortunately, their attacks had already been weakened by the World-Destroying Divine Thunder Palm, so they were not too terrifying—only sending Ling Tian flying a kilometer away.

"You short-lived wretch!" With one less opponent, Yan Shiyi felt much more at ease. Sticking to the principle of picking the easiest target, he avoided the strong and focused on the two injured yin-yang masters, completely ignoring Sato Taichi.

"Ah... Lord Yang, why are you so stubborn? Let His Majesty go if he wishes." Li Dongyang couldn’t help but add another comment.

Unlike Lady Zhang, Zhang Shubo couldn't help but feel waves of jealousy surge within her as she recalled what Xie Ting had written in her letter that morning. When her gaze fell on Yuanniang's face, she regarded her with a newfound solemnity.

Madam Xie was busy entertaining the guests, but out of the corner of her eye, she never forgot to keep watch over Zhang Shubo. Seeing her act generously, showing not a trace of displeasure, Madam Xie nodded in satisfaction.

"Just a fool with too much money." Minghui chuckled so hard his shoulders shook, pulling at his gunshot wound and eliciting a cry of pain.

"His Majesty is well! Victory forever!" the soldiers shouted, the force of their arrows bolstering the confidence of the defenders at Donghai. Each man gripped his weapon and turned his gaze forward.

No one knew how much time had passed before the taxi finally arrived at the entrance of Jiangde City's pedestrian street. Beyond that point, vehicles were not permitted.

She had always guarded her virtue and remained pure, unmoved even as many equally outstanding men had fervently pursued her over the past two years. She remained aloof and proud, walking her own solitary path—so cold and unattainable that some men gave up in despair.

The reason he kept such illicit records was to make it easier to handle relationships in the future.

In the end, she did wear a dress, but for now, she kept her coat on. After all, her cousin had told her the gathering would be held at an upscale club, and the guests would surely be dressed formally. If she dressed as she did on ordinary days, she would no doubt stand out as an oddity.

Sometimes, when it came to choosing between family and a man, Feng Guang was much like Wang Ci.

Keigo Atobe stood with both hands in his pockets, the tear-shaped mole at the corner of his eye only adding to his allure, giving him an even more regal air.

"I told you to give her the stuff—did you do it or not? Why is there no sign of anything happening?" After sending Dongchun and Coral out of the room, Haitang gritted her teeth and snapped at Shuangxi, her voice sharp.

Though Bai Xue's sword energy was fierce, the winding streams and flourishing flowers of Xixi Wetland offered endless resources. The abundant aquatic plants could be endlessly replenished, and Qu Zhi could easily draw upon the power of nature to gradually wear his opponent down.

The Dragon and Phoenix clans had always guarded the secret fiercely, never allowing outsiders to know the true side effects of that berserk transformation.

Su Yunliang nodded, flipping his palm to reveal two tokens—the secret realm tokens he had unexpectedly obtained before.

Now that time had been wasted, unless Su De and Zhao Yun wanted to break off the engagement, they could only let her marry as agreed, for the sake of appearances.

Bai Xue had carefully examined Rongrong’s corpse, her face growing extremely grim. She gently arranged the girl’s clothing, then swept her gaze over everyone present.

At this point, readers familiar with manga should understand why Lin Hai was so shocked.

In the past, when she spoke to Gu Li, she sometimes uttered fragmentary, incomplete words due to her own misgivings. Yet, he never dismissed her, never pressed her for answers, nor ridiculed her. Instead, he always reflected seriously and responded to her patiently with his perspective.
