Volume 1, Chapter 28: The Little Bun Comes to See Daddy

To his surprise, after Dian Cheng participated once, he and the lieutenants under his command grew fond of this face-to-face communication format, making the subsequent merger a logical progression.

Xian stood to the side with a look of sudden realization; it was clear he had completely forgotten about Hua Lu until that moment.

"What’s wrong?" Wang Yao flushed, feeling a bit guilty. For some reason, he felt as though Luna had guessed his thoughts.

"I will not eat you, never. You were merely caught in my illusion just now," Xian said, looking down at Lan Jin'er.

Wang Yao had always believed that the Master's Power was not only essential equipment for Han Xin but also for Zhao Yun, who relied on skill-based damage. Setting aside its stats, the passive skill alone complemented his playstyle perfectly.

"You’ve thought of it too, haven't you, sir?" The two exchanged a look and shared a knowing smile. Cai Yang felt a little more at ease. His struggle with the Prince of Yan was inevitable; if he could successfully smear the other’s reputation, he could at least claim the moral high ground—a golden ticket for winning hearts in the Great Xia Empire.

"A useless person should act like one." An outburst of energy shoved Zhuo Ya aside, followed by a mere glance that caused the Eight-Headed Serpent to manifest eight heads, all of which lunged simultaneously to bite down on Xuan Xiao’s head.

Seeing Zhang Mingyu descend from the sky, Gu Lingfeng and the others were struck with awe, their anxious hearts finally settling.

As he spoke, the netizen named "The Feng Shui Wheel Turns" gifted ten units of paper money. Suddenly, paper money showered across my entire phone screen, completely flooding the interface.

The warning was simple: "You had better not upset my disciple, or I will kill you."

In truth, Yan Heru had another motive for entering the palace. She had yet to find Shen Hezhi, and if he had gone missing at the border of the Northern Jade Kingdom, there should have been at least some clues.

Although the production crew had set aside time for the actors to rest at noon, Song Anran and the others decided not to prolong the meal, considering everyone had tasks to complete in the afternoon. Once everyone was mostly finished, Song Anran took the initiative to wrap things up so they could go back and rest a bit longer.

Liu Qing smiled to himself. He hadn't expected Chen Yang to be so ostentatious—even a bit foolish. Flaunting his wealth so openly on a train was clearly inviting trouble.

"I think of you as a student, and you want to be my brother!" Wen Mian’s eyes widened in refusal.

However, his primary task now was to make money. With over thirty years of entrepreneurial experience, earning money should be a simple matter.

Those nearby saw how affectionate they were and, while they couldn't bear to interrupt, realized this was not the place to continue such displays.

"Don't be afraid. As long as you are by my side, I will go wherever you go. Even if it means crossing a thousand years, I will stay by your side," Shen Hezhi said with a smile.

Hearing Jiufang Shaoyun’s call from above, Rong Taiping, who was suffering from the jolting ride on the back of the giant-horned monster, burst into tears.

The Soap Division had it the worst; they were neither prestigious nor in a position to take bribes, usually serving as simple errand runners at the very bottom of the yamen hierarchy.

Mu Zhixian watched that slender waist, his gaze darkening. Was this a perk for playing along with her act? Would she ever use this trick on someone else?

It was already spring, and the sunlight streaming through the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the corridor fell perfectly on Chen Zhiyan.

Because their fishing boats were too poor to withstand the wind and waves, they dared not venture too far. And in the coastal waters, seafood was scarce.

This money sounded like a lot, but if one intended to auction off antiques that started at millions, it was hardly enough.

I could clearly see the petite body of Weiwei, originally frozen in ice, tremble slightly.

After a low, muffled thud, everyone clutched their heads in agonizing pain, accompanied by a wave of severe nausea.

Knowing that the situation was dire and survival unlikely, I simply closed my eyes and waited quietly for death to arrive.

Once the police were involved, the news that the Tang Corporation was exploiting its employees would surely hit the headlines, and the company would be buried in negative publicity.

These matters, which were trade secrets to ordinary people, were nothing more than after-dinner gossip in high society.

At this moment, Chu Yun stirred. Then, he slowly raised his head. One could clearly see the deep dark circles under his eyes; his hair was incredibly messy, and his clothes were somewhat grimy.

Thinking back, Chen Huan had once defeated Yang Kai and Ye Kai, yet this Jin Yuyan could kill him in a single strike. This level of power, this courage, and this martial arts prowess were simply unfathomable.

Only then did Lin Chen realize the true purpose of the super bulletproof vest the starving ghost had given him back then.

"What if they are unwilling to come?" Shan Gu felt a stirring in her heart and asked. It seemed she had stumbled upon something.

Under the complex, shocked gazes of Toby, Zack, and Uzlak, he put away Hidden Moon, the most significant and prestigious of the three weapons.

It was precisely for this reason that, from the moment of its birth, the Nest was shunned and despised by all great insect-type spirit beasts.

"Brother, if I weren't on duty today, I would go drinking with you right now, and it would be my treat..." Wang Damao said, his face reflecting a sense of helplessness and sorrow.

Returning to the General’s Mansion, Li Juan saw Hu Tianming coaxing the old man as if nothing were wrong. She wanted to step forward and tell him what she had heard today, but she thought better of it; since her husband had not yet found Wanying, she would set it aside for now.
