Chapter 40: Deliberately Orchestrating Her Humiliation

"Then you take good care of Qinxin and show her around; I will come find you both once I am back down."

After Jin Shixun finished speaking, he followed Zhang Peiying to the second floor.

"Well then, let's be off. My brother has left, but I will take you to continue exploring the banquet." Even after Jin Shixun departed, Jin Siqi did not leave, and instead offered to take me around.

...

Stephen now felt as though he had so many debts that he had grown numb to them; matters could only be dealt with one by one. Furthermore, the appearance of this demilich was not necessarily a bad thing for him. Since he now held the trump card that was Aiden, he might be able to find a way to set a trap for the demilich.

"This place is truly bizarre. We are underwater, yet the water here only affects us outsiders. Everything else here remains completely unaffected, as if the water didn't exist at all." Blood flowed out without dispersing into the water; everything functioned perfectly fine beneath the surface.

Currently, the hottest topic in Jinyu City was Zhao Chenlu's ex-husband, Zhao Xinyu. This wretched middle-aged man, who boasted of his prowess in bed, was like a smear of filth on Zhao Chenlu's reputation. Whenever people mentioned the former city lord, who had once been at the pinnacle of her power, they were overcome with a sense of nausea and disgust.

It was precisely because of this that they were able to successfully transform their bodies with the help of the Frost Pool so smoothly and in such a short time.

They exchanged glances; as far as the current situation was concerned, they did not need to worry about suffocating, but there was absolutely no chance for them to chisel an exit out of the surrounding stone walls.

Su Han did not hesitate to tell the truth. "Dad," she said, "the doctor said that for this kind of illness, no one dares to claim a hundred percent certainty. There are risks, but there is also hope."

Although the distance was too great to feel that power, the S-rank entity, despite its constant shifting and struggling, had not displayed any truly astonishing energy.

Having said this, Li Fengyun stood up, his gaze sweeping casually across the surroundings before locking onto the direction of the inner city.

"That's no problem. I might not be familiar with other places, but I know the school like the back of my hand. Though, it might be a bit boring to see it all at once," Jiang Han said, patting his chest.

Yu Hu asked this because he had once received a mission, only to reject it at the time. As for his reason for refusing? He did not want to harm those defenseless teenagers.

"Then your life as a beast has truly been tragic. It’s alright; from now on, as long as I have a bite to eat, I won't let you go hungry," Mo Qiong said, not forgetting to cast a look of sympathy.

Sure enough, her secret base had been visited by an intruder. He Peier went up to count, and damn it, the thief had been ruthless—stealing all but a dozen of her dozens of large fish, with the rest having fallen victim to the thief's hands.

"That's true, at least these eyes of mine are still decent." Whenever Gangzi thought of his failing grades, he felt he had let his parents down.

He Peier had already anticipated everyone's reaction; after all, the matter was indeed shocking. She herself had been just as incredulous when she first saw it.

The people under Miss Qi were very capable. Liang Li only frequented a few places, so after making a round of inquiries, they found that the man surnamed Liang was indeed at the Sixi Restaurant and headed straight there.

He was as tall and handsome as Chu Yan, wearing a suit that was retro in style but exquisitely crafted, and his hairstyle was completely different from what was currently in fashion.

After walking up the steps behind the bearded general, Hong Tu was met with a three-meter-tall metal door. The bearded general took out a black card he was carrying and inserted it into a slot on the door, causing it to open. Hong Tu followed the bearded general inside.

Was all her persistence over this past month to be in vain? Thinking of Fu Chen's aggressive and overbearing demeanor, it seemed as though their relationship could be severed in an instant. What disappointed Qi Jingyao was that everything she had done meant absolutely nothing to Fu Chen.
