Chapter 34: A Ten-Pull Gift for Long Xingyu Upon Meeting

This dance instructor is no ordinary person; he is a veteran at Huaying, having trained almost every A-list celebrity currently under the studio.

In the lobby on the first floor, Bai Ji tapped away at his phone while smiling, though it was unclear whether his expression was one of genuine envy or sarcastic mockery.

Gao Mingyuan recognized the place at a glance; it was where he had once traveled through time and lived for a brief period.

The film crew continued their work as usual—eating when it was time to eat, occasionally having a drink, and showing no signs of anything unusual.

After mastering the ability to pause his thoughts, Ye Li did not use it to climb the leaderboards, but merely practiced its application during trivial moments.

Lately, Tang Yang had been acting as if he were in heat, constantly signaling his desire to take her to a hotel. This filled Bai Yuhe with extreme disgust, yet with all the employees of the Su Corporation watching their relationship, she absolutely could not afford to dump Tang Yang so easily.

She glanced at Jing Liuguang, who was staring fixedly at Luo Huixue, and a flame of irritation ignited within her. She was determined to find out exactly who this person was.

In this regard, she was no different from Senior Sister Duan Junyao, only perhaps a bit more resolute.

Therefore, even after seeing Ye Li use AD LeBlanc for entertainment in Diamond-tier ranked games, no one expected him to dare to take an unconventional path during the match.

The noble man belonged to Su Xiaoqing, while the wretched man was hers, Bai Yuhe’s.

This person had not only ruined Yu Fang’s opportunity to become a "disciple of the Son of Heaven," but also destroyed his entire reputation, effectively severing his path to a future career through "recommendations."

For those with good memories, this method was clumsy, but Gu Qingyun had no other choice. He wasn’t a genius, and if he wanted to rise above others, how could he expect to succeed without enduring some hardship?

"Even without that barrier, they are siblings; it could never work. Being cold is the right thing to do, lest she sink deeper and become obsessed," Wen Nuan sighed wistfully.

Above her, Li Yu’s voice came again. A-Shu snapped back to reality, catching Li Yu’s gaze. The latter pursed his lips as he looked at her, his tone tinged with probing.

Qu You’s body suddenly stiffened, and she glared at Yun Luo with hatred. Why was he such a lingering ghost, always intent on tearing apart the unions of others?

He did not possess the ability to scale walls or leap over eaves. Aside from Fu Qi, there was truly no one else he could trust who was capable of easily retrieving the book from the rafters.

Lu Chengyu’s mouth twitched several times before he managed to suppress the urge to laugh. He looked sympathetically at the cigarette held between Old Second Yan’s index and middle fingers; the man was clearly in an awkward predicament, debating whether to extinguish it. Eventually, he watched as the man slowly crushed the cigarette out in the ashtray.

At that time, the imperial court encouraged the people to reclaim wasteland and settle in Linshan County, offering favorable terms: three years of tax exemption, followed by half-tax for the fourth and fifth years, before returning to normal rates. According to his grandfather, their hometown had been submerged by floods and mudslides, so they simply responded to the court's call and settled directly in the newly established Linxi Village.

Gu Qingyun knew this was the result of many people’s efforts. Changing his place of exile from Hainan to Yunnan and his position from a minor registrar to a county magistrate had required significant help from Lord Bai and Pang Xilin’s senior fellow students.

"If I don’t annoy her, how are you going to get a grandson?" Yuan Lie replied before rushing out. Fortunately, he managed to book a flight to Hong Kong just in time; if he drove to the airport now, he should be able to make the next flight.

The thug’s resistance agitated the python. In an instant, its pupils turned vertical, its eyes bloodshot as it stared at the man, flicking its long, scarlet tongue with a hissing sound.

It was an utter disaster. Many judges were so shocked by the film’s plot that they were left stunned; they wouldn't dare grant it a nomination, lest they be accused by netizens of corruption.

The priority now was to send the message back immediately. If Zhu Xiu were truly killed, the other side would likely fight to the death.

"Hahahaha!" the Undead King Lich laughed maniacally, but a cunning smile immediately followed on his face.

Qiu Sheng and Ling Du watched the spectacle with amusement, arms crossed and backs to one another, thinking that Mei Lianghuo was essentially courting death.

At this moment, as Zhao Keke parted her lips to speak, she uttered a sentence that left Yi Han and Zhu Ling'er, who were standing behind her, utterly stunned.

The service at the magnificent five-star hotel was excellent; Shen Lang expressed his great satisfaction, especially with the Australian lobster.

Chu Wu signaled to his brothers while carrying him; they slipped in skillfully and closed the door behind them.

The Old Dragon King of that era highly approved of Qian Zhengsuan’s proposal and even entrusted him with the protection of the remaining half.

If they were not united internally, then when a major crisis struck, "Tianyang City" would likely become a thing of the past. Just then, the butler beside Arthur walked over from a distance, bowing to us as he spoke.

Yun Luo shook his head, looking at Qu You with a bitter smile. Lost? He couldn't believe she had come up with that. If it were truly the case, it would be a beautiful thing, but she had experienced love and had fallen for a mortal with whom she could never be united.

This instinct made it so that whenever they felt affection for a person or object, they didn't think of hugging, kissing, or marriage; they thought of possession and plunder—of extending their claws to grasp it firmly in their palms.

"On what grounds..." Shen Yan shouted indignantly. Even if the Phoenix True God descended, he would not kneel to that brat.

If she could not finish absorbing the energy before those four points converged here, the four people waiting for her outside would likely face a brutal battle.

The bed, which should have been warm, wrapped around her like an ice cellar. A chilling cold descended from above, and A-Shu shivered uncontrollably. In her hazy consciousness, she felt a pair of powerful arms lift her up, and a warm body held her tenderly in its embrace.

"What does he have to rely on?" Both his older brother and Gao Jiong were the sons of Gao Wei, born to Empress Fang. This Gao Ang wasn't even a member of the Gao family; on what basis did he act so arrogantly?

"Let go of me." Jian Man struggled with all her might to break free from his iron grip, glaring at him with displeasure.

By now, the first round of the competition had begun. The number of groups had been halved compared to yesterday, leaving the arena feeling spacious, yet it was far from quiet. On the contrary, the remaining contestants were stronger, making the back-and-forth exchanges even more compelling.

She blasted the fireballs repeatedly, yet she fought with increasing intensity, as if venting the emotions in her heart.

Before he could finish his sentence, a rattan whip appeared from nowhere and lashed across his cheek, tearing away a piece of flesh.

Although there was no shortage of intent to find a man similar to Wen Jingzhan to help Lin Fang wake up and stop making a fool of himself, he had indeed considered it seriously.

When Han Jia spoke that last sentence, her gaze landed on Yu Zi. As Yu Zi met that sharp stare, her body stiffened.
