Chapter 85: Rather Ridiculous
Bang!
The old man slammed his palm fiercely on the armrest of the chair. The dragon-head-carved armrest was instantly blasted into a pile of wooden dust.
“They’ve gone too far! They dare to kill even my son. I swear I will personally grind that man’s bones to dust!”
The old man clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his forehead.
He was Wang Hong’s father, Wang Zhan, and also the leader of the Kirin...
All the items they’d purchased were opened and inspected; even the chocolate beans were no exception. Some were taken out and crushed.
Back in my own bedroom, I started packing my things, getting ready to return home. Looking at my dowry, I realized it was quite substantial. I might as well take it all with me! Later, feeling overwhelmed, I simply used my battle energy. In the entire room, only a moving blur could be seen, and the contents of the room disappeared rapidly.
After breakfast, while the children were still asleep, Gu Jin and Zhu Zhongjun braved the snow and headed to the Gu residence to pay respects to Song Pan’er and Gu Yanzhen.
Princess Qingle pressed the slightly upturned ruffled hem of her short skirt with both hands. Twisting to glance at her waist and hips, she turned halfway around. The seductive movement made Zhou Xuan’s nose burn with heat, as if a nosebleed was imminent.
Lin Shaodong and Brother Murong exchanged a look, then had no choice but to leave. As they departed, Brother Murong kept casting meaningful glances at Haiyang. Could it be that they weren’t the owners of this house? What on earth was going on?
The night sky was like a dark-blue curtain, dotted with sparkling stars, irresistibly enchanting.
Of course, a few clever members of the Shen clan, unnoticed and equipped with escape skills, naturally took advantage of the chaos to slip away. Yet after the fighting stopped, Ao Qian, whose shop was the most severely damaged, could not escape no matter how he tried.
He felt both comforted and regretful for having missed his son’s formative years. Now, facing a son as tall as himself, he found himself at a loss for how to interact with him.
And when I saw her astonished expression, I suddenly understood as well. Felena had no idea I’d be coming tonight either—this entire situation was one of Lu Fei’s schemes and tricks.
If the other side was retaliating because I’d taken Zeus’s place... although there wasn’t much evidence so far, given Hermes’ past loyalty to Zeus, it wasn’t entirely impossible.
As for opportunities like the Xuantian throne, those were considered great fortunes—so great that they often alarmed old monsters in seclusion.
Even more absurd was the presence of a tea pet. Tea pets are practically useless, serving only as decorative ornaments.
“No need. When you reach the dimensional rift, just report to Skyshatter Company. They’ll receive the corresponding data,” Xu Que said.
“Sister, is Uncle Shen at home?” The youth spoke hesitantly, as if summoning great courage.
Xu Que had seen too many of these arrogant types in his previous life. If you’re useless, fine, but to wave a chicken feather as a command token—did they really think Xu Que had no temper?
Besides, only the rich could afford such things. How could ordinary folk possibly come up with fifty thousand yuan?
Outside the giant wooden gate, disciples from all the major sects had gathered, unsure whether to enter.
In his previous life, Xu Que remembered clearly: in just over a month, on June 23rd at midnight, the great outbreak of dimensional rifts would occur. Countless rifts would appear all over Blue Star, allowing low-level dimensional creatures to break through the first barrier.
Chen Qiu nodded slightly, gazing into the depths of the endless ice field. Part of Feizhou’s chill stemmed from the masses of resentful spirits beneath the ground, while another part came from the biting winds that swept out across the boundless icy plains.
The Shadow Leopard, seeing Xu Que and the others facing it, felt fear as well. After all, these dimensional beings also possessed intelligence.
