As she pondered, Xie Yunyan felt a surge of melancholy.
She... longed to return to the real world to see her parents.
"Host, what's wrong?"
The system, Xie Yunying, noticed Xie Yunyan’s somber mood and asked with concern.
"Why do you look a bit unhappy?"
"It's nothing, Yingying, I just feel a bit homesick, I miss mom and dad..."
Xie Yunyan smiled as she spoke.
"Though the Matchmaker can create a sense of soul connection, it cannot prevent illusions. The system has explained this clearly—do you understand, host?" the system said matter-of-factly.
Although sticking to the plan could still impose penalties on Xu Jing, there would be consequences.
The next day, the male lead arrived unusually early. Though he came early, he didn’t dare to linger around the set; anyone with eyes could see he was avoiding Zhang Taoyan. It was truly pitiful.
Shen Yun ignored him, sweeping the silver ingots off the counter into her treasure pouch with a flick of her sleeve.

Compared to Qin Gray, who now only needed to continuously strengthen her control over the Phoenix power, Ye Qianhu needed some high-caliber opponents.
A few minutes later, the effect of being possessed by the Martial God faded, but he did not emerge from that state of enlightenment.
Due to the 'Military District Commander' incident, many had captured his previous appearance on video and uploaded it online. To avoid being recognized, he had changed his appearance again.
What one assumes to be the closest intimacy may in fact mask deep dislike.
However, next, Qin Yang missed three three-pointers, Mo Williams missed his shots, Delonte made 1 of 2 free throws, and Vallejo’s mid-range attempt also missed.
After a brief commercial break, a steel wolf’s head slammed fiercely onto the screen, sparks flying.
Li Haolong’s head suddenly exploded with shock. “The final stretch? What does that mean?” he hurriedly asked. “Director Li, what exactly do you mean by that?”
Unaware until hearing it, Long Xiyun realized from the tone that he and his sister had mistaken the person. Just as she was about to suggest they look elsewhere, she turned and caught Long Yanhua’s surprised gaze.
In an instant, the ten-layered world expelled all living beings, leaving only a deathly silence.
Howling to the heavens, Weiyang couldn’t understand why Heaven tormented her so cruelly, why she had to suffer so much. Had she known it would come to this, she would have preferred to die together in the secret passage—at least then they would have died united.
“Beauty? How beautiful? More than my sister? I always thought it had to be a perfect match in status,” Yuan Niang said, looking deeply frustrated.

“Big brother, I’m sorry...” He tried to reason, but Yun Xie wouldn’t give him the chance.
“Is Nangguang in seclusion?” Zhang Tao asked, as he had informed them of the coming changes, and everyone was now working diligently. Though Zhang Tao knew it was futile, he didn’t want to dampen their spirits.
Lin Jiaren never intended to attack the fortified city of Jianye; his focus was entirely on how much profit he could gain on Sun Quan’s territory and under what circumstances Sun Quan would withdraw troops from Kuaiji to reinforce.
But the Decepticons they encountered, capable of mechanically reconstructing their bodies, were impossible to take advantage of.
He lowered his gaze, hiding the faint regret about to spill out; unfortunately, he had missed many moments.
She suddenly felt like laughing—was it that he couldn’t see such a crude attempt at seduction, or that he was actually enjoying it?
After much thought, he gave up the urge to punish those two. He knew no matter how powerful he was, he couldn’t overcome the endless worldly desires and passions. Even if he killed all such people, countless others would still appear in this world.
