To the Nangong Family, stealing a chicken would be a waste, and their reputation would be ruined.

The Nangong Family was a hidden rich family, and had a reputation overseas. After returning to their country and obtaining something similar to cultivation pills, the reputation of the Nangong Family slowly began to expand within the country, and because of this, when the waves of public opinion rushed over, it could be said that the entire Nangong Family had received it. This wave of public opinion affected the Nangong Family from all sides, affecting almost all of their properties, causing the entire family to shrink in value.

Regarding this, the Nangong Family didn't make any more comments. This was because their PR team knew that any statements they made at this time would cause the public opinion to surge even more violently. The best way to do so was to not comment on anything.

At the same time, in Europe, in the Kingdom of Light.

Somewhere in the massive Church's Imperial Palace.

The three statues were erected in a building in the depths of the Church Palace.

One of the three statues was the God of Light. On the left was the Jagged Slope Goddess that represented love and peace. On the right was the War God Walsh.

These three deities were all golden, and in front of the three deities was a pool. However, this pool did not contain water, but a kind of golden mercury-like liquid. The liquid kept boiling, as if it was boiling.

It could be seen that the liquid was very viscous and the temperature was very high because the air above the pool could be clearly seen.

This is often seen on the roads in the summer.

At this moment, in the golden liquid, a scepter was rolling along with the liquid.

The Pontiff stood off to the side, looking impassively at the pool before him.

The War God stood beside the Pope and said in a low voice, "Your Holiness, since the start of the restoration of the divine staff, the Anka Liujin has already consumed 30% of its energy. However, the divine staff has yet to recover."

After a long silence, the Pope replied, "Increase the temperature of the Deity's Lake."

"This will increase the rate at which Ankh consumes gold by many times. Perhaps, it will dry up the Deity's Lake." The wargod said.

"Now, Xu Taiping's fighting strength is not something that can be easily defeated. The staff of light must be even more powerful, even if the Deity's Lake is exhausted!" The Pope said.

"Yes sir!" The wargod nodded his head, and then walked to the bottom of the statue in the center, spinning it on a certain button below.

The golden liquid in the pool churned even more violently, as if it were boiling water. Moreover, the liquid was still dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

About ten minutes later, only a thin layer of the liquid remained in the pool. It was at least 90% less than before, just like a kettle that was about to be boiled dry.

In the middle of the pool, the staff lay still.

A large part of the cracks on the Divine Radiant Staff had already disappeared, leaving only about a centimeter of cracks.

"Continue!" The Pope said.

The War God nodded and rotated the button once again.

That thin layer of golden liquid disappeared little by little. In the end, there was not a single drop of golden liquid left in the pool, and the cracks on the Radiant Divine Staff also completely disappeared without a trace.

The war god turned off the switch and then looked at the pool in front of him with a bit of regret.

The liquid in the pool had already completely dried up. This meant that if the Staff of Light suffered any more damage within a short period of time, it would be unable to be repaired.

The Ankh flowing gold in the pool is a very special kind of gold

This was a unique metal. It appeared to be liquid, but under certain conditions it would turn into a solid state, and the Divine Staff of Light was made of Anka Liujin, the most terrifying part of Anka Liujin was that it had some kind of special wave. Once it was squeezed by a person, the wave would emanate from the Divine Staff, and the greater the force of compression, the more intense the fluctuation would be, and this wave was the so-called 'Godly Might'.

Ever since the Pope discovered this metal a thousand years ago and forged the Radiant Divine Staff, the Ankara Metal in the pool had never dried up, because the Radiant Divine Staff had never suffered any major damage, at most it was just some wear and tear, and this time, the Radiant Divine Staff had been cracked by Xu Taiping. In order to repair and strengthen the Radiant Divine Staff, the Pope used up all of the Ankari Gold in the pool, and it would take at least a hundred years for Ankari Gold to recover to his previous state.

This Ankh Liujin gushed out from a spring in the pond. Every month, it would gush out a little bit. In order to protect this place, the Church had specially built a shrine here and declared this place a forbidden area.

Pope walked to the pool and took out the staff.

At this time, the Divine Staff was even larger, tougher, and thicker than before, which also meant that the might of the Divine Staff of Light was a lot greater than before.

"With this staff of light, the next time I see Xu Taiping, I will definitely send him to the God of Light!" After confirming that Xu Taiping was the Blood Wolf, the Pope's hatred towards Xu Taiping had already reached its peak. He would not care if Xu Taiping was some Divine level martial artist or not, as long as he was given the chance, he would definitely kill Xu Taiping.

In the eyes of the wargod, killing Xu Taiping isn't easy. He has a bad feeling about this, but he doesn't know what to say, so he can only choose to stay silent.

On the other side, in the city of Bahai.

It was afternoon.

Xu Taiping was making tea in Zhou Xiaoyu's company.

Although Zhou Xiaoyu was now the emperor of the martial arts world, her office was extremely simple. There were tables and tea tables.

Xu Taiping arrived around 2pm and chatted with Zhou Xiao Yu for a long time. Afterwards, more and more people came one after another, such as Huang Da Qiang and Guo Yunpeng. By the evening, Zhou Xiao Yu's office was almost full.

"Bro Xu, let's eat dinner tonight. I'll get someone to arrange something." Zhou Xiaoyu said to Xu Taiping.

Just as Xu Taiping was about to agree, his phone suddenly rang.

Xu Taiping looked at the caller's number and was stunned for a moment. He then smiled and said, "We probably won't have any chances tonight."

With that, Xu Taiping picked up the phone.

"Boss Xu, you …" Are you free tonight? " Qiao Yue's voice came over the phone.

"I'm free tonight!" Xu Taiping nodded.

"That's great! Then let's have dinner tonight! " Qiao Yue hurriedly said.

"Alright, no problem. Arrange a place for you. Oh right, don't bring your boss along. It's troublesome with too many people." Xu Taiping said.

"Ah?" You're not bringing them along? " Qiao Yue asked.

"En!" Xu Taiping said.

"Then just the two of us?" Qiao Yue asked again.

"What's wrong? "Can't I?" Xu Taiping asked.

"No, no, no, you can do it. Alright, I'll immediately make the arrangements. I'll give you a call later!" Qiao Yue said.

"Alright!"

Qiao Yue hung up the phone. She could not help but feel her heart beating rapidly.

What did this Xu Taiping mean by not letting her bring anyone else?

Could it be that this Xu Taiping wanted to create a chance to be alone with her?

Even though Qiao Yue was a widow, she had good looks, good stature, and ability, so she had many pursuers and would often be asked to go out. Qiao Yue knew what these people were scheming, so many times, she would not go out alone with people she didn't care about. Now that Xu Taiping had this invitation, Qiao Yue didn't dare to refuse.

If it was just eating, then it wasn't a big deal. However, in the adult world, eating was often not just eating.

If Xu Taiping wanted to take the opportunity to do something with her, what should she do?

Qiao Yue suddenly thought of the cover photo taken by Xu Taiping that day.

Those seductive eyes, that handsome appearance …

For some reason, Qiao Yue's breathing became heavier.

As a mature woman, her husband had already been gone for more than ten years, so Qiao Yue wasn't really that conservative. Although she hadn't looked for a man for more than ten years, that was mainly because Qiao Yue still hadn't found a man who could move her heart. Qiao Yue could be considered a person with goals, so she would never feel wronged by herself, nor would she randomly find a man to solve her biological needs.

Qiao Yue took two deep breaths before picking up her cell phone to make a reservation.

Ten minutes later, Qiao Yue called Xu Taiping and arranged a time and place for dinner.

After finishing all this, Qiao Yue rushed into the bathroom to take a bath and put on some light makeup.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Qiao Yue suddenly realized that she was actually old.

Although she was still in her forties, she was still good-looking. However, her charm could only be described as still present. Compared to the young people, she was really incomparable.

Qiao Yue felt somewhat sorrowful. She had gone from being in her twenties all the way up to now and had wasted the most tender and juicy years of her life. She could still be considered charming now, but what if another seven or eight years passed? At that time, she would be heading for 50 years. Perhaps, even if she were to directly become a grandmother, she might not be able to tell.

"Qiao Yue, you're very beautiful. You're very charming. You can't just waste your time like this. Do you know?!" Qiao Yue muttered to herself before patting her face. She then picked up the perfume beside her and sprayed it into the air. After that, she raised her head slightly and walked into the mist that was spewed out by the perfume.

"Alright!" Qiao Yue nodded in satisfaction. Then, she turned around and walked out of the bathroom and towards the door.

When she was halfway there, Qiao Yue stopped. She turned around and walked back to the head of the bed.

She lived in a hotel, and on the headboard of the bed was a set of books.

Qiao Yue hesitated for a moment before taking Okamoto's Fan and putting it into her bag. Then, Qiao Yue turned around and walked out of her room.

The sun had set and the moon was shining.
