Chapter 104: The Nanhuai Family Legacy

Linghu Wan thought for a moment: “...Oh.”

A faint trace of disappointment surfaced in her heart, but she concealed it well and quickly restored her radiant smile. “Boys are great! When they grow up, they can protect their sisters, just like a big brother!”

“Hmm.” Bai Zongnan nodded. “You all need someone to protect you.”

Linghu Wan smiled brightly. “Of course~ Both Aqing and I hope you’ll protect us, but we’ll work hard to become stronger.”

Before setting out today, they had already decided to spend the night in the mountains, reducing the back-and-forth travel time so they could go a bit farther.

Meanwhile, noticing someone still inactive here, the bald man’s eyes brightened with a fierce gleam, revealing a hint of arrogance.

When missiles whistled through the air, the Storm Princess effortlessly used a whirlwind to alter their trajectories, causing them to converge, collide, and explode, or she forced them with a gale into the sea where they instantly became inoperative and self-destructed underwater.

I looked up in astonishment as three evolution warriors clad in black bio-armor approached. The one speaking was a square-faced middle-aged man—Zheng Xingfeng, the legion commander of Julu City. Flanking him were Left Protector Chen Chao and Right Protector Zhan Xiang.

Though Jiang Yingxue had once personally visited to thank her over the Mei Bottle incident, that was the only time.

“It can’t be wrong—this must be the work of Yu Sikun!” Relieved by the news, I quickly urged everyone to board the vehicles and head north toward the fishing village.

Before losing consciousness, Lin Yi saw the old man transform back into a man and point at him, laughing wildly. The uncles watching nearby shamelessly mocked his embarrassed expression.

The crowd’s reactions were predictable. Some were furious, eager to teach the arrogant fellow a harsh lesson, while others dismissed him as a reckless attention seeker, refusing to pay him any mind. Opinions varied widely.

“Heh, you’ll see once you go inside!” After saying this, Lei Li stretched lazily and walked in.

If my older brother ever went out to play, he would definitely bring me along. If he didn’t, it meant there was some danger involved.

Rong Lang sensed a gaze fixed upon him. He frowned and looked around but saw no one, so he put down his cup and stood up.

Zhu Hao, following the rules of engagement, always confirmed identity before acting. He shouted sharply, “Qi Yunsheng!” then braced himself, watching for a reaction.

Feeling the heavenly tribulation in advance was highly beneficial when undergoing the trial itself. Moreover, the tribulation was part of the natural order; experiencing it was to feel the Way of Heaven, which would greatly aid one’s future path in martial cultivation.

The weather in the capital had been quite cold lately. Passersby on the streets mostly hunched their shoulders, exhaling warm breath and rubbing their hands together. Yet some fearless young ladies still sported bare legs, earning silent admiration for their courage.

“Brother Yin!” Guo Weifeng greeted Yin Zhaojing warmly. Back then, Yin Zhaojing often brought him and Yin Zhaonan along to play.

Yu Zuixin thought to himself, “Just waiting for you to say that.” He glanced at the nearby person still sobbing and wished he could kick them hard enough to pin them to the wall.

Chen Kexin was astonishingly sitting on the steps in such cold weather. From afar, Liu Shuang saw Chen Kexin hugging his knees, shivering.

When Li Hui’s wife heard this, she sneered coldly but said nothing further. Out of courtesy to Wang Dong, she found a chair and sat down, her icy gaze fixed on Li Hui, waiting for him to explain to her and everyone else exactly how that money was lent out.

Mu Zhen had considered making a move on the Fengguo Mansion, but General Yun Yi was a stubborn old dog, loyal only to the emperor and refusing to serve anyone else.
