Volume One, Chapter 23: Lord Xie Is Blind, and His Heart Is Biased Too

After changing the dressing, Xie Qiqi pulled Wang Zhi out of the room. She eagerly recounted her third brother’s situation to him, looking at him with hopeful eyes. Only by reaching the final grand competition and receiving the votes and critiques from the panel of judges would a truly excellent performance be reflected in the scores.

Yang Jie continued using this method to extinguish several sources of fire. Later, he chopped down a burning tree with a single strike, dragged it to an open clearing, then felled a few more and dragged them to another spot. Through these actions, he finally managed to block the spread of part of the blaze.

"Why are you shouting in my house? Get out, all of you!" Xiaoyue cried out in fury the moment she saw how they were treating her father.

After this incident, Su Liuying truly felt that Lou Yue was, just as Nanshan had described, a man with a cold exterior but a warm heart, especially toward her.

The personal assistant nodded and hurried downstairs to notify the driver and bodyguards; the boss was on the move again.

"My dear, don't be nervous." Ye Xuan grasped his wife Han Yuyun's hand tightly. It was evident that she was even more anxious than he was.

"Damn it, that old man! So that’s how it is? It makes me so mad I could die—I’m going to report him!" I shouted.

The reason Ye Xuan was certain they were popular stars lacking acting skills was that he had looked up their information online. They had virtually no high-quality works; their status was built entirely on popularity and traffic, and there were essentially no true actors among them.

"Do you know? When I heard you had burned to death in the fire, although I was sad, I was even more glad..." Every word pierced Su Liuying’s scarred heart like a knife. Her blood seemed to freeze in pain, and she felt a chill from head to toe.

As for this so-called "Spirit of Gods and Demons," for others, it might be as difficult as ascending to heaven—or perhaps an impossible task. Even for the former Emperor of the Underworld, it would have required time. After all, he could only be considered an incompletely awakened "Son of Gods and Demons."

Well, the facts were indeed as such. Following a brief silence, the crowd present suddenly began to stir with restless speculation, showing signs of wanting to get involved and seize some advantage.

Before Dongfang Fengfei could be taken to the infirmary, she was intercepted by seven handsome youths who had rushed over. Upon seeing that it was Dongfang Fengfei who had encountered trouble during alchemy, the seven youths hurried forward, intent on taking her back to her dormitory.

Of course, one could not entirely rule out that possibility. After all, accounts are linked to identity information; the folks at Shengshi might know, and one cannot exclude the chance of an extremely dedicated salesperson keeping a constant watch.

But to have one's soul devoured—that would be a disaster of epic proportions. Once that happened, the Great Elder would truly have no way back and would be forced into a desperate corner. It was no wonder, then, that he lost his reason and composure the moment he heard the mention of soul devouring.

Like a walking, frigid corpse... The thought made the Left Chancellor shudder, and the furrows between his brows deepened.

After Ouyang Shasha finished speaking, seeing that Mu Xinyou was still hesitant and dragging her feet, showing no intention of forming a contract with the egg, she had no choice but to seek help from Su Qirong, who was currently getting along quite well with Mu Xinyou.

Ji You was dressed in a white robe with light black armor. Though handsome, he possessed an awe-inspiring, masculine air, devoid of any delicate or effeminate beauty.

"Take a tour? This is a vital military arsenal. What if classified information leaks? Don't you know the rules of the barracks? Anyone who trespasses is to be executed on the spot." Lin Chunan couldn't help but rebuke him sternly.
