Chapter 56

Just as Manrou said, the media portrayed her in an extremely unflattering light. Whether it was to suck up to Zhang Guozhi and fight his battles or for some other reason, they twisted her identity from a victim into someone promiscuous and devoid of self-respect, eventually generalizing it into how irresponsible and shameless her entire generation was.

Feeling a secret surge of joy, she tugged at the man's arm and rested her head against it, closing her eyes and walking blindly without paying attention to the path.

That Angdula, capable of withstanding even machine gun fire and practically invincible, had just died like this?

Jiang Sheng watched from the side in a daze, recalling what had happened in the dead of night, but ultimately lacked the courage to voice it out.

Hearing this, those subordinates swarmed out like a hive of bees and began hauling away the supplies on the ground, each one working harder than the last. Having just surrendered, they naturally wanted to leave a good impression on their new boss.

Unexpectedly, the moment she stood up, Director Zhang brought Liu Chen over and blocked her path.

Before long, Master Long walked in from outside. The disciples greeted him respectfully, and Master Long acknowledged them with a nod, calling a lean child forward. The child immediately scampered up to Master Long like a monkey, wearing a cheeky grin—this was precisely the person who had splashed water all over Jiang Sheng the previous night.

Yun Feimo possessed a slender and graceful figure—try not to be so childish—with fair skin. Thus, when she stepped out of the dressing room wearing a bright, fluffy yellow dress...

Lying in bed, tossing and turning for the better part of the night without being able to fall asleep, she simply got up, changed her clothes, and went out to find some amusement so she wouldn't have time for idle and chaotic thoughts.

After work one day, Ma San kept all the dock employees behind, preparing for a gathering and drinking session that evening.

Now, having undergone a profound transformation, he had kicked open the doors of the seventh rank and even walked some distance further inside.

However, once these ability users and evolvers reached the fourth rank and possessed spiritual energy within their bodies, their resistance to mental interference would be immensely enhanced.

He could only helplessly pick up the photograph, tuck his tall felt hat under his arm, offer a salute, and then turn to leave.

Yet no matter how much he accelerated, he could never catch up to the object ahead, as if that entity were separated from him by an entire world.

Deducting experience points was one thing, but more importantly, violating the rules more than three times would result in the character being directly killed off.

Qin Zheng abruptly raised his hand and pulled up the partition. The movement was so sudden that it startled Jiang Zhi, who looked at him in bewilderment, unsure of what he was about to do. The next moment, a familiar scent washed over her.

The old lady was faking illness to scare him; could he not tell? But that was the grandmother who had raised him, so he could only pretend not to know and let her vent so she could feel a little better inside.

"Hello, Direct Disciple Ye. The Great Elder is already waiting. Please follow me," the guard said hurriedly.

Ji Chazhi and Jing Chengcheng walked the red carpet, toasted everyone a drink, and sat down. The remaining matters were handled entirely by Elder Jing himself.

The two were intimate bosom friends, and such opportunities for friendly sparring were not uncommon, but this time was by far the most magnificent.

Although the Witch God and Xi Jiuyue also had a cooperative relationship, he seemed much more willing to leverage the hands of Ye Nansi.

Because stone gambling, aside from relying on one's own experience and keen eye, required a heavy dose of sheer luck.

Sensing her intent, Qin Nan took a stride to her doorway and stretched out his hand to block the door.

Gong Xi coughed twice. He had indeed tried every conceivable method to unravel the true secret of the Rejuvenation Talisman, but unfortunately, he had made no headway.

"It's already out," Bai Shuyuan replied indifferently to Zhong Huijie, at the same time seamlessly pushing away the hand Zhong Huijie had clamped onto his arm.

It felt as though she were being called, yet she couldn't be entirely sure. Besides, she had no wish to have such a conspicuous reunion with him right at the entrance of the elite section, so she simply decided to pretend the call wasn't meant for her.

The reason the Chu family was able to soar and expand so rapidly was entirely due to the achievements of Chu He. One must know that the four guardians of the Chu family were all proud individuals, and for Chu He to reclaim their power back into the Chu family in such a short span of time was already quite remarkable.

Chena, squatting on the ground, wore a face full of anticipation, but unfortunately... the red pointer bypassed the skill and ultimately settled on an orange-yellow stick.

The anomaly appearing at the stone door also aroused Wang Jie's vigilance. He instantly recalled his surging spiritual power, and gazing at the eerie lines covering the stone door, Wang Jie instinctively took a step back to inspect it closely.

Sitting on the stool, I had originally intended only to rest for a brief moment, but as I sat, waves of drowsiness began to wash over me. When I finally regained consciousness, the sky was already bright. Terrified, I leaped straight up from the stool and frantically searched for the figure of the Carefree Prince. Only when I saw him still lying soundly asleep on the bed did my heart slowly settle back into place.

I heard the guests at the neighboring tables say that Hanying not only danced brilliantly but also possessed extraordinary charm and allure, earning a tremendous amount of silver for the Tianxiang Pavilion over the years. By comparison, Ying Su's appearances were exceedingly rare; her annual appearance rate was less than one-tenth of Hanying's. I truly have no idea how she ever qualified to participate in the courtesan contest.

"Yuhe, what a lovely name, what a lovely name. Stop your hands," Mao San said as he sat back down, savoring the smoothness beneath his palm.

When the banquet concluded, the heavy snow outside had still not stopped, so Sovereign Ouyang arranged rooms for us to stay in and bestowed upon us countless rare treasures.

Far away in the distant sky, Wang Jie hovered quietly in the void, his cascade of raven-black hair fluttering behind him without any wind. A pair of black eyes shot forth piercing glares, appearing unimaginably profound, filled with an endless sense of the vicissitudes of time at a single glance.

The original tension and pressure had been completely vented away in a frenzy of madness, achieving precisely the effect that Machao from Shanghai had desired all along.

Jinse slowly detached herself from her childhood body, unexpectedly floating up into mid-air. Her body suddenly grew very light, and Jinse had no idea what was happening. This unknown phenomenon filled her with an inexplicable sense of panic.

However, more and more crisp cracking sounds rang out, and the two finally exchanged glances, feeling as though something was fundamentally wrong.

Wang Xiu's expression was indeed somewhat peculiar. Because of the previous appearance of the EX team, Wang Xiu always felt a lingering unease in his heart—indefinable and unclear, yet overwhelmingly intense.
