Chapter 104: I Will Take Care of You

The scruffy man spoke, and Chen Yang immediately fixed his gaze on him. There was something about this person that didn’t seem simple.

“Let me introduce you—this is Zhang Jinjiu, the greatest detective in Jiuzhou!” Lu Jingtian announced.

Detective Zhang Jinjiu? Chen Yang furrowed his brow. He knew Lu Jingtian never made idle claims...

From the outside, one could see that the ice dome had transformed into a vast shield covering an area of fifty zhang. All its chilling energy was released within this enclosed space. As time passed, the temperature inside dropped further, the seawater’s movement slowed, and ice shards began to form, followed by chunks of ice.

By chance, she noticed Qi Hao’s name and, after a moment’s hesitation, inexplicably found herself dialing the number. Even she didn’t understand why she made the call.

At that moment, Lu Zhen sat atop a pile of dry hay, leaning against the cold, thick stone wall of the prison, eyes closed in deep thought.

Qiu Yijian and Liu Dingtian were chatting when Qiu Bairen arrived with five others, squeezing in beside Qiu Yijian.

Lin Fei’er sighed softly, returned Zhu Mingyu’s paper, and said, “Alright, I’m going to rest for a while. You can keep studying it.” Zhu Mingyu took his paper and slunk back to his seat dejectedly.

Zi Che Nian had been away from his clan for some time and had only recently arrived in this city. His purpose was to seek out a powerful individual capable of harnessing the power of the Big Dipper.

Seeing the situation deteriorate with everyone clamoring for his head, Kong Chengqing’s expression darkened further. He gave a subtle signal to Kong Xun beside him to step forward and negotiate. After all, the county officials were summoned by him, yet now they had become a source of trouble.

Fu Min had come to a realization—living forever in Yan Bai’s shadow was no life. She decided to strike out on her own and do something meaningful. Today, she moved to a new place with all her belongings in a single box, planning to become a streamer and change her life’s course.

“Commander, I am incompetent. I have brought disgrace upon you, and they even imprisoned you in the Ministry of Punishments’ dungeon. Please, Commander, punish me severely!” Yao Gan said shamefacedly.

Qi Hao felt a bit embarrassed and could not resist the allure of Chu Qiao’s body. Earlier, he had been too focused on setting up formations to notice, but now his attention was divided, and her smooth, creamy skin was utterly captivating.

No wonder she always felt that Bei Minghong’s attitude toward the original body was strange—he cared, but not like a father should.

“I’ll just ask them a few questions and leave. Give me the key, and you all stay outside,” came the voice of the constable from last night.

After waiting for quite some time, suddenly five Golden Core cultivators entered, three of whom were strangers.

“It’s been several days... she’s taken many medicines but shows no improvement,” Qiu Ruo’s voice betrayed her anxiety. At the thought of Su Yi’s pale, bloodless face, her heart ached deeply.

Unlike the human cultivation world, where sects and clans organize society, the multi-winged tribe’s clans were essentially nations. Within a clan were “wings,” roughly equivalent to provinces or cities in the human world.

Since the raw jade came from the same gambling stone, if jade appeared on their side, it was quite possible theirs would yield some as well.

Snapping back to reality, Guan Meiqin hurriedly sealed the bottle tightly once more, then shook her head and glanced around cautiously.

Fortunately, she wasn’t the one tasked with attending to Xuan Shao’s changing. Yan Yu only needed to tidy herself up.

“You embroidered this but handed it to me through her. Actually, you’ve had feelings for me all along, haven’t you?” Hong Zhou lowered his eyes and looked at her with a sly smile.
