Chapter 48: Visiting the Set

Fu Siyu merely gave a polite nod. "Just visiting the set."

Behind him, his assistants pushed forward exquisite dining carts laden with beautifully packaged afternoon tea and gifts.

"Thank you all for your hard work, just a small token of appreciation."

Fu Siyu's voice was not loud, yet it echoed clearly across the scene.

The staff members instantly erupted in excitement, crowding around with surprised and delighted expressions.

"Oh, this is so thoughtful!"

Realizing the portion in her hand was too large to finish all at once, Bai Yuan broke it into three pieces. The few of them sat around the brazier, discussing plans to officially open the shop on the day of the Lantern Festival.

A heavy sound of rapid footsteps outside made her stiffly turn her head toward the entrance. The office door was forcefully shoved open from the outside, and her assistant stood panting in the doorway.

Furthermore, he had provoked the netherworld attendants. Although they had been driven away by A-Yin, this matter was definitely far from over.

Meanwhile, Lin Yu felt immensely smug inside, thinking about how wild and thrilling it was to watch Li Xueya and Wu Dongxue lose their minds. This only fueled his excitement further, making him gallop wildly like an untamed horse.

Shops lined both sides of the street shoulder to shoulder, yet surprisingly, all of them sold various kinds of weapons, battle attire, and similar gear.

She knew nothing of combat, and during hunting trips, she never dared to venture deep into the perilous areas, thus leading a rather frugal life.

Dressed in a light purple Ruyi brocade dress, she wore a pair of swaying pearl earrings beneath a slightly raised white-trimmed collar, which made her figure appear even more elegant. Her wide sleeves rested on the armrests, and her fair, delicate fingers tapped idly against the golden-nanmu chair arms.

Bai Xing silently slipped away from the spot, following the shadows of the buildings until she reached the second-floor stairwell. She cocked her head slightly to listen intently to the commotion coming from the second floor, where curses, roars, and cries of pain filled the air.

However, Lord Hu, who had been urgently summoned back by Zhu Yuanzhang via an imperial decree traveling a thousand miles, harbored a deep resentment of his own.

Inside the room, a pungent and heavy scent of gardenia slammed straight into her face, so intense that it was even thicker than when she sprayed perfume.

With a solemn expression, he took three deep breaths, blew into his palms, and rubbed them together several times. Imbuing the act with a strong sense of ritual, he finally reached his hand into the box.

Upon hearing Si Linfa's name, Lin Yu abruptly snatched the binoculars, his hands trembling slightly.

Should someone returning home carry the aura of an anomaly, the mirror would issue a warning to prevent anyone from inadvertently bringing ghostly artifacts into the household.

If he truly bore the Seal of the Heavenly Demons, Lin Feng would have been able to recognize the preciousness of the sword's material. They trusted Lin Feng possessed such discernment, but Lin Feng did not.

When Wang Zhui departed with two other martial artists, Si Linfa had already slipped behind the martial artist she had gravely injured.

Hearing Qin Ye's words, she lazily lifted her heavy eyelids for a glance without speaking, instead shifting her body slightly to burrow bit by bit into the quilt.

This was intelligence regarding the gods that he had managed to extract from the enemy's lips. He was fearless and ignorant of taboos, daring to ask and say anything, whereas Hua Ling regarded the matter as a deeply guarded secret. Uttering just that single sentence seemed to have drained her of immense energy, leaving her panting heavily.

At this moment, Qi Shaobai looked precisely like a corporate subordinate who had successfully completed a major project and longed for praise, yet felt too shy to proactively claim credit.

A ring of brilliant bloody light exerted supreme pressure across the wild, causing the Azure Water Beast's limbs to go weak as it plummeted toward the mountain forest below.

"Zhou Hongming, I betrayed you, leaking your secrets and whereabouts. Don't you despise traitors the most? So, kill me. Pull the trigger and kill me." Xiao Zi's voice was resolute, her gaze unyielding.

The people behind her nodded affirmatively as well, looking at Mo Qingluo without the slightest trace of hesitation.

As if only then snapping back to reality, the gaze she cast at Mo Qingluo carried a hint of languid amusement.

Catching sight of Lady Lian's silhouette, he broke into a grin, pointed at the figure who had yet to react, and asked Lady Lian.

"Let's talk about it later." He continued to stroke her hair, his movements gentle, though a shadow of gloom deepened within his eyes.
