Chapter 35: Has Fu Boyun Finally Come to His Senses?

The film set fell silent in an instant, the atmosphere suspended as if frozen in time.

“President Fu wants to speak with Jiang Yu alone?”

“Is there really nothing between them, or are the rumors true?”

Whispers broke out one after another; everyone fixed their gaze on Jiang Yu, their eyes brimming with gossip and intrigue.

Cheng Xingyu’s expression darkened to an extreme, her fingers digging so tightly into her palm they nearly left a mark.

...

But Wu Zhou was a different story. From what Gu Fan had seen and heard, he’d paid quite a bit of attention to this man, ultimately concluding that he was nothing but an ungrateful wolf, the sort who would devour his benefactor whole and, sooner or later, even betray those closest to him.

Zhang Nan showed a trace of scorn, not sparing the Second Elder a glance. Although the Second Elder’s cultivation was slightly superior, Zhang Nan didn’t consider him a threat. Even without using the imperial artifact, he could easily handle him—especially now, while the Second Elder was still recovering from serious wounds.

It was much like the effect of a celebrity: Taibai Jinxing, held in high esteem by Haotian, had a revered status in the Celestial Realm. Every action, every word drew attention. Now, with his voluntary descent to the mortal world, he rekindled countless hopes among the denizens of heaven.

Perhaps Zhao Qingyan had always been beautiful, but it was a youthful beauty, relying solely on her natural gifts. Now, however, her beauty was laced with nobility and confidence; combined with her flawless, alluring skin and exquisite features, she truly possessed the grace and charm of a noble princess.

Glancing around, Bai Zhitian noted that, apart from Mo Ling of the Taiji Palace, every other gaze was filled with hostility.

Her dearest friend, though not slain by Xiao Jian, was still locked in battle, unable to break free from his relentless assault.

A sickening crack and a scream pierced the air. Zhang Kuang turned, and his face paled even further at the sight: the cultivator who had detonated his treasure was now pierced clean through by a blood-red fang, thick as an arm.

...

Zhu Wei shook his head gently, gazing at Zhu Di with sorrow. The Prince of Yan swept his eyes around, lost and bewildered, then staggered into the marketplace.

“If not for the persistent trouble from Green Bee Hall and the grudges that have already formed, I wouldn’t bother with any of this... By the way, you came to Lin’an to help me—did your master try to stop you?” Lin Fei smiled as he spoke.

She pounced on Lin Fei, pressing him down, her heavy bosom swaying beneath her fitted athletic shirt. Straddling his waist, she slowly rubbed her sensitive center back and forth over his abdomen.

The violet lightning dragon, coiled atop the blood cloud, suddenly threw its head back and roared, unleashing an even greater surge of draconic might that made the mutant merfolk instinctively retreat once more.

As the sun set in the west, everyone gradually wrapped up their work. Wisps of smoke rose above the village—the villagers had begun preparing their evening meals.

Lavender essential oil and petals, steeped in the hot water, released a thin mist that drifted around her nose. The sensation was simply wonderful.

He used to be called Ye Li Bobo, but after helping Li Yuanhao kill his elder brother Ye Li Qiyu, he changed his name to Qiyu Bobo, hoping to inherit all his brother’s possessions through this new name.

With a thought, Maybach withdrew his spiritual power. Lin Feng, already on the verge of collapse, nearly stopped breathing.

Hearing Bai Muqing’s words, Manager Huang felt somewhat relieved, but anxiety still gnawed at him. Even if the leak hadn’t come directly from his hands, he had not delivered the manuscript to Young Master Chen personally; he was still at fault. If the president decided to pursue the matter in anger, he would not escape responsibility.

As time passed, and with a final muffled boom, Du Long wiped out the thousand-strong force of the Four Clans from beyond the realm. Chi You’s Venomous Dragon Drill was lifted, revealing its true form: three heads and hundreds of arms.

To be honest, there were deep reasons for me to mention the Celestial Machine Codex at this time. For one, they are unaware of my true strength. By using the Codex as a cover, any impressive results I achieve can be explained.

The one left in disarray after the climb was the Prince of Yan. He glanced up to see the figure ahead had already vanished—clearly, they’d reached the summit long ago. Quickly, he lowered his head, focusing on the climb. Only after much effort did he reach the mountaintop, where he found himself surrounded by emptiness on all sides.

Feiran once said something true: this world is beyond our control. In times of peace, seeking stability is easy; in an age of chaos, seeking peace is a rare blessing.

...

If not for the solid evidence he’d received from Governor Liang about his imminent job transfer, Li Qingyun might have doubted the reality of the situation.

Inside Xuantian Imperial City, Hao Pang returned early in the morning with a middle-aged man in tow, heading straight for Xia Hua and Susu.

Though she insisted on ignoring him, Tang Yuan still helped Li Qingyun remove his coat, supported him onto the bed, and covered him with a quilt before leaving with Miao Ruoxi.

Gu Qiyan was wholly absorbed in writing letters. Though she had entrusted the matter to Lian Qi, there could be no neglect. Alongside the letters, she needed to compose a memorial to the emperor and ensure the county provided emergency grain supplies. She could only hope there was still time.

“How did I survive all that? Did Li Yuan leave any other methods for breaking through shackles in your memory?” Lü Lie inquired.

Each time a test subject was born, one would be assigned accordingly. Every base was equipped with a spacecraft, so the test subject could return to the home planet when needed.

He hadn’t planned on playing deaf, but when those two accused him of being hard of hearing, he decided he might as well pretend.

Lu Ran curled his lip. “You’re always looking at me through colored lenses. Tell me honestly, after knowing me for so many days, have I ever done anything bad?”

This was the only way to get rid of her. She had no love, only status and power. So anyone who threatened her position, she would try every possible means to eliminate.
