Volume 1, Chapter 45: Delivering Salt for the First Time, a Thousand Taels of Silver Secured

He narrowed his eyes and did not pay much mind to it. With a shout of "Gee-up," the horse bolted forward.

Yet throughout the journey, absolutely nothing happened, which caused him to frown slightly.

The carriage moved at a rapid pace and arrived in the city before long. He first sold the wild birds in exchange for three taels of silver.

Even a grasshopper's leg has meat; when it is time to calculate, every single coin must be counted!

However, he did not leave right away. Instead, he took out a small jar of wine—wine infused with deer blood.

"Shopkeeper, care to take a look at this wine?"

Li Chen produced a one-jin jar, cracked open the clay seal, peeled back the oiled paper, and slid the jar across the counter.

"Hey, isn't this..."

Ye Yuan offered no rebuttal, merely nodding faintly as he began examining jade slip number one hundred and thirty-five.

Things having reached this point, he knew further concealment was impossible. Better yet to use this to elicit a shred of sympathy.

Xia Xingchen's tears fell once more. She embraced Bai Yeting for a long moment until her emotions settled, then loosened her grip.

"Heh..." Chen Ying'er gave a light laugh, looking toward her father. The smile was desolate to the extreme, devoid of even a sliver of warmth.

Catching sight of his old friend so abruptly, Mo Feng was also greatly stirred. Without a word, he gave Ye Fang a fierce, bone-crushing bear hug.

In Yilan Palace, Yu Wuxia and Meng Yue had already finalized their marriage. As the future royal consort, he moved into Yilan Palace quite logically and legitimately.

Disregarding the concern evident in her messages, simply the fact that she had the patience to converse with a complete stranger in this manner—while also giving him an intensely familiar feeling—convinced him that she was no stranger to him at all.

First, whisk the glutinous rice flour, cornstarch, sugar, oil, and milk together into a smooth batter free of lumps.

Steering clear of two groups of light element entities that were busy at work, Roger finally spotted his current target.

Even with the giant ape's muscles of steel and bones of iron, it could not withstand these oncoming bolts of lightning and blades of light. Blood splattered everywhere as several vital points on the giant ape's body were pierced by the sword blades. After roaring a few times, it crashed heavily to the ground.

As a prince of the Yu Kingdom, Li Yi naturally had no desire to see cultivators of his own nation meet with accidents. When mentioning the alarm talismans, he even cast an intentional or unintentional glance toward Li Ang.

"You really made a hands-off boss, while I was breaking my heart and draining my blood for you! Yet you are busy surrounded by beauties, the envy of everyone!" His eyes were filled with mirth as he did his utmost to mock.

This was by no means a simple task. That snake was ten meters long, its massive body more than capable of crushing several cows to death with ease.

Afterward, it took a considerable amount of time to explain the situation clearly and have Shasha take the bag and head back first.

The jailer's booming shout dragged Song Shaoyuan's consciousness back. He opened his eyes in a daze, only to see broken walls standing in solitary desolation under the clear moonlight, with jailers and prisoners suffering heavy casualties, lying amidst the ruins and wailing mournfully.

Yet today, he had ventured into brothels and pleasure quarters in search of information. To Bai Renmin, who was ignorant of the inside story, this was an utterly disgraceful and outrageous act of misconduct. Consequently, Bai Ziyuan's defense just now seemed to him more like a flimsy attempt at quibbling. Overcome with sudden anger, Bai Renmin had struck him across the face with a resounding slap.

Mo Jingchen looked at her like this, a flash of reluctance crossing the depths of his eyes. Yet the moment his mind recalled Qiu Hechao peeling shrimp for her with a tender expression, while she accepted them one by one with a radiant smile, peace deserted his heart entirely.

What is more, the intruder's mental power was vastly inferior to his. Without his permission, how could the intruder possibly alter this world?

"Who on earth is the Golden-Bladed Swordsman?!" Wuxin walked up to the middle-aged man, the tip of his blade pressing against the throat of the man, whose vision was already blurring and who was panting frantically with open mouth to no avail, and asked coldly.

Yet while feeling a sense of pride in the hospital's state-of-the-art equipment, a deep sigh stirred within his heart.

However, both Tie Xiong and Zhan Ying understood in their hearts that the Yanmen Prince's Estate had indeed long been a thorn in the Emperor's side. For years, the Yanmen Prince's Estate had held supreme sway over its territory, and the situation was gradually slipping beyond the imperial court's control. Furthermore, the Prince of Yanmen commanded a hundred thousand elite troops; should he harbor any secondary intentions, the consequences would be too dreadful to contemplate. That was why the Emperor had always been deeply wary of him.

"They've discovered us, but they don't seem in too much of a hurry!" Qin Yun did not stop the gorilla beastman, letting him continue digging downward.

Qiao Ruojia burst out laughing; the audience let out a ripple of amusement; and Jin彪 and Cheng Gang let loose a bold, uninhibited roar of laughter.

Seeing this scene, Cao Jianhua slowed his pace, wanting to fully savor the picturesque scenery. But as Cao Jianhua slowed down, Li Guyu released her grip.

If it could be prevented—even if not entirely, but merely raising the resistance rate to a certain degree and increasing survival odds after poisoning—that would still be tremendous progress.

However, once he learned of the Daoist Culinary Domain, everything fell into place. As his thoughts cleared and became enlightened, he naturally and effortlessly awakened the Daoist Culinary Domain.

Li Guyu felt something pressing against her waist. The moment she realized what it was, her face turned crimson in an instant.

Rong Qian lowered her gaze, her attention falling upon the right hand resting in her lap, leaving only a trace of chill deep within her heart.

Even growing up looking like this, this fellow still dared to be so audaciously and wildly lustful. True to his reputation, he had not disgraced his title as the number one playboy among the giants.

At this thought, Xue Xingran's heart settled slightly. Regaining his calm, he circulated his body's martial energy. Simultaneously, he stimulated the earthly fire seed within his dantian, and a fierce, orange-red flame surged forth, enveloping the greater part of his body in an instant.

Although she tried her best to face the whole affair with a detached attitude, the churning, tangled pain deep within her heart was so palpable, followed immediately by an infinite bitterness welling up in her throat.

During the Tang Dynasty, sugar production was extremely scarce. Even wealthy households only used sugar syrup to mix into sweetened water, which was already considered an extravagant luxury.

Er Zai: So I said that today, and later I apologized. He said he forgave me, but I always feel a bit more distant from him now. Why is that?

Han Feifei did not sense any falseness in Rong Qian's obvious actions. It was precisely because she felt it that she was incomparably astonished. For the very first time, Rong Qian had stepped back, and initially, she had thought it unintentional.

Meanwhile, the artifact spirit within the bone tower had also been anxiously transmitting messages to her. It was just that Lu Chuan's inner consciousness had just been completely engulfed by this dark, calamitous power, causing him to fail to notice any of the messages sent by the bone tower.
