Chapter 44: The Antidote

Silence filled the hall.

Li Honghui swept a skeptical glance over Li Youwei, then turned a puzzled look toward Wen Zhiyan. He found it exceedingly difficult to believe what he had just heard.

Li Honghui said, "Zhiyan, could you be mistaken... How could the Eldest Princess—how could she possibly murder the Crown Prince?"

Regarding the death of the Crown Prince, Li Honghui harbored countless doubts in his heart and had several suspects in mind.

Yet from beginning to end, he had never once suspected Li Youwei.

Who would ever believe—

For thousands of years, as he sat enthroned amidst this sea of fire, he had never once felt a shred of covetousness. Most of the time, he was not even aware that he was still capable of eating. Yet at this very moment, a sudden craving for something arose within him, and clear saliva welled up at the corners of his mouth. He wiped his lips, feeling exceptionally curious and bizarre.

This movement was all too familiar to Ye Fei. He had witnessed up close the terrifyingly powerful blue bamboo shoot light that had just shattered the Six Paths Reincarnation with incomparable might. If she were to unleash that upon him again right now, he estimated that not even dust would be left of him.

However, a thought immediately surged into his mind: this delay had already consumed at least twenty minutes; could he have fallen for someone's delaying tactic? He shouted inwardly, "Not good!" He pulled out his phone, but feeling it inappropriate to just run away, he simply began to walk briskly toward the Splendid Residence.

"You owe me spirit stones, and you must return them, otherwise... otherwise I'll die right here for you to see!" Seeing Tang Chuan's stern and murderous expression, the wild boar hastily spoke up. It seized the moral high ground right from the start and preemptively brought up "death" to prevent Tang Chuan from launching a sudden fatal strike.

Just like that, under a fierce barrage of bombardment from everyone, the yellowish barrier of light grew increasingly dim, and perhaps the very next attack would shatter it.

"A misunderstanding? Just a simple word like 'misunderstanding' and it's over?" To think this fellow, even at this critical juncture, still wanted to pull out his backing to intimidate people—the Municipal Bureau? The Strike-Hard Command Headquarters?

Ao Feng was already thinking of retreating at this moment, yet for certain reasons, he had not left. To be honest, he really did not want to wade into these muddy waters any longer. His appearance was, firstly, to catch a glimpse of the breathtaking Huangfu Qi, and secondly, to warn the commanding rebel Dongfang Jie'ao. He simply had not expected that freakish figure to actually make an appearance.

Third Brother leaped into the air, throwing a ferocious punch directly at Lei Guangyi at the very front. A savage glint flickered in his eyes, as if he were about to witness the moment Lei Guangyi was sent vomiting blood by his single punch.

"Junior Brother Wang, before we make a move, I have a proposal." Leng Yun's tone remained as icy as ever, as though he were made of solid ice.

He must have gone to negotiate elsewhere as well, only to find that those people were determined to take advantage of him and continuously exploit him. Taking over this factory therefore meant he had also offended some very powerful figures.

Sang Yue frowned. A spark of curiosity arose within her heart, but she could not bring herself to rush to the front just to catch a clear glimpse of that person's face.

As soon as Pietro's words fell, the crowd could not help but exchange surprised glances. What did the instructor mean by this? Why single out Lin Shu for a self-introduction?

It was foreseeable that these black mists would continue to spread. At the current rate of dispersion, in just a few more months, more than half of the entire territory of the Tower State would be engulfed by the black fog.

Driving his car, Zhou Qi was unsure whether he wanted to return to Bao'an or head to Longhua, and before he knew it, he had reached Xiangmi Lake without having made a decision.

What kind of wicked sorcery did you use, to actually... actually make Lu Wanlin take the initiative to approach you time and time again?

Yet Zhao Ya had grown increasingly willful, finding fault with Lin Yang over virtually anything. Whenever she was in a bad mood, she would threaten to break up with Lin Yang.

Zhou Qi hung up the phone, feeling a bitter ache in his chest. Just as he was sinking into melancholy, his mother and father came downstairs. Seeing Zhou Qi smoking there, they walked over, and Zhou Qi recounted the whole matter to them.

Mo Yuhan obediently picked up the teacup before her and took a gentle sip. A refreshing fragrance instantly filled her entire mouth, stimulating her saliva glands, and the anxiety in her heart miraculously subsided in that very instant.
