Chapter 64

Gu Yanru followed the direction of the voice and first saw a young woman clad in blue. Her features were gentle, and her eyes reflected a hint of satisfaction. After all, for the director to obtain the rights to this island, his status was already significant; Gu Siyi was only an heir, so there was no need for excessive deference. Gu Yanru thought of that ethereal beauty, cold as winter frost, dazzling as blooming peach blossoms, powerful and otherworldly, then glanced at Mianmian—cheeky, shameless, with a round face and a childlike innocence as if she were only three years old. She would quietly fulfill her duties as an educated youth; though life was hard and money scarce, at least she could avoid disaster.

“She said she was tired and went to bed early. I suppose her phone is on silent. I’ll have her contact you tomorrow,” Pan Yuming replied with a yawn.

Lin Jin admitted she had lost control. The man before her was truly terrifying—he would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. With no alternatives, Lin Jin had to hand over all the money Old Master Ji had given her to Ji Muchen, and even signed the share transfer contract in passing.

Zhang Juhua and Zhang Qingqing, terrified, hid behind Elder Yan, afraid that the outsiders might drag them into the house for unspeakable acts.

As Zhao Mengmeng wiped the liquid on the front desk with a tissue, she couldn’t help but comment on Yang Ming’s driving speed.

After hanging up, Chen Su felt a pang of regret. In the past, when she was a triple-award-winning actress, spending ten million didn’t faze her, but now, even fifty thousand felt like a heavy loss.

Gu Siyi saw her suitcase blocked in a corner, her expression turning sour. Still, she couldn’t retract her words and could only convince herself it was a “sweet burden.”

Liu Meiling said wearily, “But I can’t refuse her.” Otherwise, as her aunt had threatened, she would make her life unbearable at any moment.

Then, hearing Sun Aili’s plan to stay in Suoya permanently during the New Year, Hu Zhenyu simply handed his resignation to Sun Xuesong and moved to Suoya to accompany his wife.

Even more so when sharing the same bed—if, half asleep, one reached out and felt a handful of blood, it would surely become a lasting trauma.

Though the calamity had passed, the entire Flooded Wasteland was still shrouded in the aura of death, lingering from the countless fallen of the Wu and Demon tribes, and all the other creatures who perished in their great war.

Suddenly, three beams of silver sword light shot from behind him, engulfed in endless brilliance; three long swords, their blades shimmering with silver, hovered midair.

There were two advantages to this approach: first, it enabled Li Shimin to truly empathize. As long as he could put himself in their shoes, no explanation would be as effective.

Afterward, he was so overwhelmed with emotion that he opened and closed his mouth countless times, wanting to speak, yet for the first time found himself at a loss for words.

If the chance arose, Gu Tianchen would like to meet this person and see just how advanced his medical skills truly were.

With this joint venture model, in Zhao Province alone, Hua Wei's revenue skyrocketed from zero to one billion yuan.

Lu Fan sent the Toad Demon to fetch the wild boar, instructing him to pretend he didn’t exist and to act as he normally would.

Yet she felt no regret—how could she allow the one who ruined her life to safely give birth? Today, the old master and madam argued to let Xiang Shi deliver the child, but who knew if by tomorrow they’d be pleading for her mercy.

When Long Qing returned home, the living room light was on but the house was empty. The sound of running water came from the bathroom—someone was showering. Long Qing quietly peered into Yingzi’s room, saw her fast asleep, and left her undisturbed.

The soldiers defending the frontier city of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom had regained their morale, waiting quietly for the next siege from the Great Dian forces.

With a sense of curiosity, Chu Ning opened the box to find a pale gray, diamond-patterned pure cashmere scarf.

Hong Jun often wondered if all things would pass away, like the endless stars over eons; after the An Lushan rebellion, the stories of the exorcists would also be lost to history, dissolving into dust.

Wu Hua was in no hurry; some things could not be rushed. If the partnership failed, he would lose nothing—the secret recipe for the cold dish was still his, and with so many restaurants in River City, he was confident he could find another partner.

Chen Junmei was utterly defeated by Niu Xiner, her face flushed, ears burning, and she dared not meet her gaze.

Birds startled into flight, wild beasts on the run, and all manner of hidden creatures—snakes, insects, rats, and ants—emerged from the forest, fleeing toward its edge without fear of humans.

He had never experienced anything like this and began to wonder what Bloody Mary really looked like.

At dusk, Chi Shuyan answered a call and went straight outside to get into the man’s car for a trip to the Qi family.

This year’s sect competition was unprecedented, worthy of being recorded in history, and became the talk of the Dawnstar Continent. The reputation of the Golden Elixir Sect fell to an all-time low, as everyone believed they had committed some unforgivable act, prompting such a ruthless response.

In his heart, he felt reluctant to leave home—a feeling that explained why he had been spending this period recuperating and experiencing life.

Forcibly withdrawing from this state, Shui Yue’er felt her blood and energy surge violently once more. Two streams of blood-tears slowly rolled down her cheeks, and she vomited a mouthful of blood.
