Volume 1, Chapter 27: Song Huaichuan: This fruit is becoming a bit too difficult to pluck.

Hearing the voice, Shen Zhiyi turned around abruptly, her face radiant with surprise.

"Why are you here?"

Suddenly recalling something, she leaned forward to look behind him. "Is this a group operation again?"

Song Huaichuan didn't mind her choice of words and replied truthfully, "No, this time it’s a two-man operation."

Shen Zhiyi covered her mouth and giggled.

"In the broad sense, the appreciation of the RMB requires a stable stock market," Qin Jiyong reminded her slightly.

They walked side by side toward those dressed in field uniforms. Behind them, there was another bridal sedan chair.

Hu Qiyan looked deep into the woods, frowning slightly. Could it be that some formidable expert was truly hiding in the depths of the forest?

Upon reaching the hotel, the head waiter led them directly to a pre-booked luxury suite. Soon, a waiter pushed in a food cart laden with items that were, without exception, Gu Xiaobei’s favorites. As she ate, tears welled up in Gu Xiaobei’s eyes once again.

If she were to be encountered by that old man in the yellow robe, it could only mean her bad luck; if she were lucky, then it would be a testament to her great fortune.

"Can’t you see that the area is already red and swollen from everyone slapping it? How could I dare to slap it again!" Having said this, Gu Xiaobei suddenly burst into unrestrained laughter.

Almost simultaneously, the light from the Fallen Leaf Ring on Zhao Ping'er’s finger turned sharp and fierce, as if it were trying to resist.

"Alright, alright, old man, I’m done talking to you. You’re a nuisance. Let’s go and pay no mind to this troublesome old man," Tantai Mingyue said with a smile.

Fortunately, things were going smoothly. She had succeeded—a clean strike, without drawing anyone’s attention. She had successfully shaken off Chrissy’s entanglement, and now her chances of escaping were even greater. She only hoped not to run into that mysterious expert.

Startled by the sound, Xu Zhe and Zhou Yingying pulled apart abruptly, their faces filled with horror.

She had awakened in an ice coffin at the Mubei Museum, and during the tour guide's explanation, he seemed to mention something about "blood" and "cells."

Zhu Jingtian breathed a sigh of relief. Ignoring the injuries to his soul, he reached out to grab the Dragon Pearl.

The era into which Shi An had transmigrated was one where treacherous officials held power and the people lived in dire straits, causing the entire nation to suffer from both internal and external crises.

The people in the manor had gone out to speak with him many times, but he insisted on seeing you one last time.

He was just about to retort, but as he turned his head, he noticed the panicked look on Gu Ruoting’s face.

Once the chill on his body had faded and he began to feel warm, Xiao Ye turned his gaze to the other side of the room, where Ye Zhibing lay motionless under the quilt.

Clearly, to search for something like spatial fluctuations, one only needed to project their divine sense; after all, compared to spiritual energy, divine sense consumed less and provided more precise positioning.

Song Yu looked in the direction Shen Ling was pointing. He saw a blade of grass, emerald green in color, with fine blood-like threads on its leaves, emitting a faint glow.

In less than an hour, they had already managed to find another copy of the Analects.

Song Yu’s short sword slashed through the main head of the two-headed crocodile. He extracted the beast’s inner core, placed a restriction seal on it, and stored it in his ring.

Bai Shan was following the Emperor onto the battlefield. Yes, he had gone to the front lines—no, that wasn't the point. The point was that the Emperor himself had joined the fray.

Following Gu Junyao’s orders, Qin Zhong did not make Su Meijiu feed the horses again. He even moved her to a separate room, the one closest to Gu Junyao’s.

Ling Xi had not expected that this semi-final of the alchemist competition would take so long.

She had taken these undergarments out to wash them when she was bored after getting home last night. In her rush to contact the landlord for Zhao Zihao this morning, she hadn't put them away, and when she invited Zhao Zihao over earlier, she had completely forgotten about the laundry hanging in her home.
