It is afternoon, and since it is Thursday, the place is not very crowded; usually, the crowds only start to grow after dark on weekdays.

Madame Colorful Butterfly gripped two shimmering blades, grinning as she waited for her opponent to surface. However, what awaited him was the sinister smile of Douchi.

Remarkably, its shell was circular, much like that of a Sulcata tortoise—oval-shaped and high-domed, looking quite adorable.

Four great exotic beasts surrounded the Twenty-Eight Mansions demons from all cardinal directions, engaging them in a fierce battle.

The surviving residents viewed Nangong Yuchen as their lifeline, flocking behind him in hopes of finding a path to survival.

"I am merely an outsider. Though we are strangers, I am an excellent listener. Some things are difficult to tell anyone; keeping them bottled up for too long can make one ill," said Li Xiuyuan.

"What should we do?" "Let's just wing it!" "Now, it is my turn to ask: who was the first to write a poem about the Peach Blossom Spring?"

"Do you know from where those two arrived at your Chanyu Royal Court?" Liu Tianhao continued to ask.

Simultaneously, each department has its own subdivisions tailored to specific markets. For instance, the television drama department handles the global market in its entirety.

"He has become a corpse servant now?" Douchi was skeptical. Mao Bing looked no different from an ordinary person; even he had been deceived, so an average person would certainly not be able to tell the difference.

As passersby walked by, Xu Zhiyi felt a bit embarrassed. She pushed away Ming Rui, who was still hugging her, and held his hand, listening to the secrets of his youth as they walked.

What surprised Director Lin, however, was that Sheng Wenyin, who arrived the latest, seemed to understand exactly what he was saying.

In the Kangxi Emperor's original plan, the first three princes were meant to keep each other in check at court. Therefore, the wives of these three princes had to come from backgrounds superior to those of the younger princes. With the support of their wives' maternal families, they would be able to maintain a stable position in the imperial court.

This surprised Director Zou greatly. As a newcomer, Shen Meng had blundered through several scenes, yet Sheng Wenyin displayed such remarkable stability and emotional control.

"Do you mean to say that he can no longer use the cheats within several destiny lines?" Shen Wei inquired.

Truth be told, with the experience of having navigated the corporate world in his past life, if Yin'e wanted to become friends with someone, he rarely failed. He was most adept at sizing people up and tailoring his approach accordingly; it was just a matter of whether he felt like acting.

This project had been personally handed to him by Zhou Lan. The Zhou family should have all been aware of it, so why were they still fixated on it now, as if he were standing in their way?

Back then, when Wang Zhixuan's daughter got into the Capital Normal University and his own daughter failed, wasn't he green with envy?

"Young man, why are you so lacking in drive? Don't think that just because your brother-in-law is there, opportunities will always be reserved for you. That is not how it works."

"Besides, my brother is here to protect you, so what is there to fear? From now on, as long as you are in the right, we will all stand by you."

Now she wanted to see if he could really stomach it, even when he smelled that foul; if he could, she would truly be impressed.

Perhaps this is what people mean when they say that meeting countless people is not as valuable as finding one soulmate. To have such a wife in this life, what more could a husband ask for?

Because of the large crowd, besides curiosity, there was also some apprehension. Thus, while the members of the Nether Lotus Sacred Sect were searching for treasure at the bottom of the deep pool, most people stood by and watched, not daring to go down and compete with them.

Having found her own sense of purpose, she became much more proactive and organized in her work, and no longer spent her days staring solely at the Dragon Child Diagram.

Chu Beiying felt she was gripping something and gave it a tug; it was this action that woke Xiao Qi up.

He also knew this was Zhang Tianci's excuse. A verdict had been reached last night, so how could there be another one tonight?

"You know as well that Chu Molin and the others are soldiers who frequently go on missions and cannot be by your side."

Although the house was quite close, Jian Jichu still suggested that Xia Ningmeng live at school, as it would allow her to properly experience college life.

Of course, these are merely the musings of a mountain recluse. The path of cultivation contains thousands of grand ways and countless techniques. Immortal gates, mansions, caves, mountains, and islands each have their own interpretations, and each guards its secrets jealously, making it difficult to truly unify them.

Su Qiaoqiao quickly spoke up, "Everyone, quiet down! Quiet down! Actually, you may not know this, but these crawfish contain high levels of calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus."

The dark purple lightning wreathing him was like a starving beast that had caught the scent of blood—ferocious and hideous, it lunged forward, sweeping away the blood the moment it emerged from his body.

Qin Yi, seemingly afraid that the young man would not believe him, quickly pulled three magic crystals from his robes to show that he was truly there to buy potions, not to stir up trouble.

The Eastern Azure Ruins were the remains of an ancient battlefield in the Eastern Azure Domain. Xiao Chen had specifically inquired: ten hundred thousand years ago, there was an ancient sect in the Eastern Azure Domain called the Heaven Azure Sect. It had endured since the ancient era, surviving through endless ages and experiencing many ups and downs, only to be reduced to nothing and crumble due to a certain event.

"Tonight, the heads of the other factions in Dongru County will arrive. Prepare yourself; I intend to hold a meeting with them," said Chen Buyi.

Forced to dodge in a sorry state, Chen Buyi was already calculating his next move. The Lishang Sword was nowhere to be seen on him.

"Wangcai, it seems you are quite useful after all. From now on, I will definitely pay you a regular salary. I really didn't expect you to be so helpful in the Black Forest; you are the perfect complement to me!" Qin Yi expressed great appreciation for Wangcai's ability to find the way.

Facing Reina's attack, Caesar was only slightly wary. With her current level of power, her attacks were still too weak to threaten him.

When asked what it was about, Lin Hong beamed with excitement, unable to suppress a laugh, yet he didn't say it directly, instead keeping her in suspense.
