Volume One, Chapter 30: Beginning to Earn Shares

Silence filled the car; no one spoke again. Lu Tingxiao picked up a tissue and handed it to Qiao Ye. Qiao Ye took it in silence, hesitating for a long time before saying, "Uncle, I don't want to go on like this anymore."

"Tangdou and Doubao cannot live without you."

Thinking of the children, Qiao Ye struggled internally, unable to help but ask, "If I leave the Lu Corporation, will I no longer be able to see the children?"

"Once you go to Yuansen, you and I will be competitors. It will not be appropriate for the children to meet you."

Qin Youran's reply was firm, and it was that very tone that made me realize this was the true point of her day.

The phenomenon of the three flowers gathering at the crown appeared once more, yet this time it transformed into a massive umbrella, shielding against the wind and rain and protecting the countless souls lifted by the overwhelming spiritual energy.

"Attention, monsters detected ahead. Everyone, prepare yourselves." It was just as the group neared the cliff that five squid-like monsters, two meters long and crackling with electricity, suddenly appeared directly above them.

Many began to believe that Xia Fan had likely been pulled into the vortex, and the rumors of the "hidden currents in the martial arts world" swirled around his life and death.

"Big words indeed. Sikong Po, the second-ranked disciple of the inner sect, I would love to see exactly what makes you so extraordinary." A cruel smirk curled at the corner of Qin Buhei's mouth as he gripped a giant axe, ready to strike at any moment.

"Satisfied, I'm satisfied, thank you! Let me practice now, and please take a look to see if I'm doing it right!" Xiwen had already switched to honorifics.

Golden flames rolled off Duan Ran’s body, his spiritual consciousness forming armor before him, while the sound of dragon roars echoed from his physical form.

Cai Yun took the storage bag, transferred the two hundred gold coins inside to another bag, and handed it to Han Qianyu. Although it was somewhat awkward, Han Qianyu took back the two hundred coins.

"Yes, but it is only the third month, and the snow scenery of Lu Mountain is truly magnificent right now!" A maid beside him replied, then took away the snow water he had only lightly tasted and withdrew.

The moment he consumed the meat, he felt a surge of spiritual soul energy enter his brain. It was not weak, easily equivalent to over ten years of his own cultivation. Not daring to be careless, he immediately controlled his heroic spirit to absorb the energy.

The reason Su He, with his sieve-like memory, was so certain of his classmate relationship with Zhou Hao the moment he saw him, lay in his height.

As Galus spoke, strands of dark red magic power emanated with his voice, continuously influencing the commoners present.

In truth, the reason Long Yifeng had succeeded so easily last night was largely due to Wang Jing. Otherwise, Xiao Jing likely would never have engaged in such intimacy with Long Yifeng while others were around.

That nanny was actually quite good at housework; her only flaw was that her cooking skills were truly lackluster.

Old Mistress left. Xi Feng’s ankle was uncomfortably swollen, so she pressed a few points on it, and the pain subsided significantly.

Upon seeing the jade pendant, Shopkeeper Feng San changed the way he addressed her, treating Xi Feng with a bit more respect.

In this home, traces of Su He were everywhere, while those of Su Jinghai and He Meijun had to be searched for with effort. Even their bedroom exuded an emptiness lacking any sign of life, reminiscent of a standard hotel room.

After eradicating the ninth-generation vengeful ghost Mai Hanlong, Zhu Ming holed up in the Guansheng Hall to experiment with relics and demonic energy, discovering that the Buddha light within the relics had a clear restraining effect on the dark power.

The world of gossip never lacked those with wild imaginations, capable of conjuring up the most outrageous grudges and entanglements at will.

When the tannery owner treated others to a meal, it was either to force them into wrongdoing or to compel them to do things they had no desire to perform.

His words shocked everyone; some stopped in their tracks, while others who had just approached began to hurry away.

Qi Nianxin feigned innocence and stuck out her tongue. She did not mention the past that Deacon Li and Uncle Sun had spoken of that day. Everyone who went on the spring outing had a side they wished to keep hidden; revealing such things could actually bring them closer together.
