Chapter 29

Xiang'er stayed silently in her room for half the day, only appearing after dinner. Although she had washed her face and applied compresses to her eyes before coming to Su Jinghui, they remained visibly red and swollen.

Tantai Jin’s arrival did not draw a glance from Fei'er. Even as everyone else cleared the stage, she did not falter; she continued her movements and handled her props exactly as the melody dictated, as if she were still practicing alone.

Zhang Zhitai wore a servile expression, bowing low and retreating several steps before slowly exiting.

However, as this was a program and Yang Mi was a professional actress, she masked her emotions well, and no one caught on.

Perhaps it was her unique way of handling matters that intimidated them, but the previously chaotic scene was finally brought under control. With the Spring Festival approaching, no one had the heart to dwell on these issues; everything that could be delayed was pushed to after the holiday, and whatever could not be delayed was met with a decisive refusal. She was the boss now; whether to cooperate with someone or not was entirely up to her.

Just as he was about to force a shot, the defender from Minghe poked the ball away, bringing his attack to an abrupt end.

He furrowed his brows, and amidst the beauty's exclamation, he scooped her up in his arms and walked back toward the bed.

"Damn it, Boss, how did so many people suddenly appear behind us?" one of the assassins exclaimed.

"You unfilial son, what did you say? You... cough, cough, cough... you wretch, say that again!" Tantai Mieming, struggling for breath, felt a wave of dizziness, then stared fixedly at Tantai Jin’s back, his body trembling.

In truth, what the demons did not know was that this goldfish was actually a pet of the Fifth Prince, Ao Luan, who had summoned it specifically to carry a jade message talisman back to the Dragon King of the East Sea.

The disciples of the Profound Gate were not dim-witted; upon hearing Shen Qi’s words, they immediately understood that he intended to use this opportunity to challenge the status of the sects in Fu County.

Azure flames danced across the sky, manifesting into a thick, serpentine fire-python. With a mouth wide enough to swallow them both whole, it lunged down suddenly.

Wu Kun had indeed practiced his family’s True Martial Arts, but his prowess was mediocre, and the incident he was involved in had nothing to do with his martial training.

Jian Wuji had entrusted the task of finding the traitor to him and Jian Donglai, yet no one suspected that Jian Donglai himself was the traitor.

This strike combined the vast majority of the power from Zhuo Yan, who was at the late stage of the Harmony Realm, along with nine others in the Dharma Image Realm. Had it landed, Fu Hongyi would have suffered a total collapse of his martial path and the shattering of his laws, if not death.

Old Man Ji understood perfectly well what a treasure the Seven-Leaf Lotus truly was. It could even be said that if news of the lotus were leaked, even those reclusive Heaven-Piercing Realm experts seeking the Great Dao would emerge to fight for it.

The fleeting glance earlier left Ruan Ruochu with the impression that Shen Li was merely a handsome young man. She did not know that the man waiting for the elevator with her was actually her interviewer—the owner of Wanli Entertainment.

Fang Shi released Tang'er and gripped the black spear with both hands to hack downward. The spear instantly elongated, but the strike was blocked by a sword. Fang Shi finally saw the assailant; it was none other than Lan.

The plane was already waiting. As soon as Fang Shi boarded, the pilot asked if they were ready for departure. Fang Shi signaled yes, and the aircraft took off immediately.

He seemed to peer through the veil of illusion, catching a glimpse of that Immortal King figure drifting beyond the Three Realms.

At this moment, Guo Jing and Murong Fu, deep in the fray, were unaware of this situation and continued to act according to the plan.

"Where did you go? How did you end up in such a state?" Qing Lin looked at You Ruo’s disheveled appearance with a hint of resentment.

Thus, the Matthews family had never achieved their dream: to buy back the ancestral castle and estate that had once belonged to their bloodline, making them the family's permanent legacy.

"What exactly is going on?" Gu Yi nodded and turned to look at Hu Bugui, who was in charge of intelligence regarding the alien races.

On days when the members of the "Heavenly Alliance" were not holding gatherings, it became one of the rare, scenic wonders in the southern part of the Zijing Continent, attracting many to visit and admire the view.

The "monster" began to struggle in agony, writhing in the air like a provoked earthworm.

"I didn't expect to meet you again after all this, Brother Wang!" Ao Chunyi smiled as he looked at Wang Daming, who had come to lead him to the encampment.

However, this unwise move by Camacho finally ignited the "fuse" for his own dismissal.

Li Huannan, originally from the Northeast, had come to Beijing in his youth, driven by a stubborn passion for music. Even now, he remained a mediocre third-tier artist, a singer who had to constantly hustle for gigs just to maintain his livelihood.

After the first three rounds of drinks, everyone began to seek out drinking partners, eating and drinking to their hearts' content. After three glasses of strong liquor, Wang Cong felt a discomfort in his stomach and grabbed some cold side dishes to settle it, only feeling better after a few minutes.

Yet, the details around his eyes convinced Black Tiger—whose judgment was usually sharp—that the other party was no more than a boy who had just come of age, or perhaps, was still a minor.

Facing a strange environment and unfamiliar people, she felt anxious. She feared it would be like the previous two schools, where no one liked her.

"Where does your confidence come from? Do you think your master is just for show?" Ming Feng had already made up his mind; he would go to the Demon Realm himself.

Gu Xintong had long since received the photos of Jin Chendong meeting with Li Mengran. She trusted Jin Chendong and knew this was merely one of Li Mengran’s usual tactics; she asked only because she hoped for honesty and sincerity between them.

The universe contains all manner of matter, each distinct from the other; yet, the Divine Eye remains untouched by any material law. It can exist in natural harmony with the entire universe, merging into one without any distinction.
