Volume 1, Chapter 148: Chu Jiuzhou’s Order—Bring This Hua Man Lou to Me!!

After a long while, he stood up, trembling.

"Chairman, I have investigated this matter!"

"The current legal representative of Sky Entertainment is a man named Su Le, a washed-up, has-been singer."

"However, based on my analysis, it is highly likely that Chen Tianxiong, the former director of our subsidiary Oriental Group, is the one behind the poaching and promotion of our artists."

"This Su Le has no background or connections; he is a complete novice. I believe he is merely a figurehead, and the mastermind pulling the strings is Chen Tianxiong!" Yang Guolong replied earnestly.

"Is that the answer I was looking for?"

"Why is Chen Meiqi not..."

But in the short time they were speaking, the larva had already begun to change; its previously soft, boneless body started to harden.

Shen Jing did not want to push things too far with Old Madam Song; otherwise, her status in the Song family would only diminish further.

Chu Weiwei still found it impossible that Yibei Han would truly abandon Xia Yan. Only a few days ago, he had treated her with such deep affection, holding her like a precious treasure. To say he wanted nothing to do with her after just a few days was simply too absurd.

"Ouch!" Zhuo Lingfeng was quite obedient. When Qiu Ying told him to let go, he actually released his hands, and as a result, Qiu Ying fell down just like that.

I did not expect to run into Leng Wuxie here. Now, I am even more certain that he is the one who sent me the text message.

Afterward, Yan Ming ordered a banquet to be prepared. Since they were to go to war tomorrow, this had been their long-standing tradition.

"Does it hurt?" I looked at Lan Ruoxi, who was shifting her body from time to time, and hurried over.

***

Even though she now knew everything, he could still act without any hesitation in front of her. He seemed to remain the gentle man in everyone’s eyes, the filial and unassuming grandson in the eyes of Old Madam Song, and the considerate brother in the eyes of Song Tingyu.

Xing Shaozun's comfort did not last long before another wave of restlessness set in. Ning Long felt uncomfortable; she reached out to scratch an itch on her face and woke up.

Zhuo Lingfeng employed the "Shadow Shift" technique, shifting his body to the side and instantly appearing behind Li Tianya before kicking him.

Twenty years had passed. How many men had spoken such words to her? All the males who approached her had essentially the same idea: to possess her. She was born with such a charming demeanor and such a supple waist.

However, for some reason, this world was hidden deep underground. It was unknown how many years had passed, and since no one had ever entered, it seemed deathly still. With not a glimmer of light, there was no sign of life in this world.

"What?" Xing Fei exclaimed. He could accept traveling through any celestial cycle, but he never expected that the Creators would be powerful enough to manipulate the cycles themselves. It was simply unbelievable.

I was slightly puzzled; the Seven-Radiance Stones kept glowing like this, but what were we supposed to do next?

"Slap, slap, slap, slap!" I knocked three of them flying with one blow, and Ostrich knocked two more away. The rest of the men rushed in one after another, sending both me and Ostrich flying several meters back.

Before Zhou Ziyuan could answer, Xie Maosen hung up the phone, perhaps distracted by driving, or perhaps to deny Zhou Ziyuan the chance to refuse.

As the two were guessing, their hearts stirred simultaneously. They looked up at the horizon to see three figures appearing. A short, stout figure flashed across the sky and reached Xing Fei and the other just as quickly.

As it happened, Man Zhu kept her promise. No matter what difficulties Concubine Fu faced, she helped her with all her might. In the battle for the Empress's position five years later, Man Zhu helped Concubine Fu successfully ascend to the throne, becoming the Empress who mothered the world. Of course, that is a story for another time.

Howling winds and swirling snow obscured the secrets and schemes of countless people across the frozen, snow-covered plains of the summit.

A bottle of Foundation-Nurturing Pills cost five low-grade spirit stones, while a bottle of Essence-Cultivating Pills cost twenty low-grade spirit stones—or two medium-grade ones. As for more precious pills, their prices were astronomical, far beyond what ordinary disciples could even imagine.

Following this, Nalan Tubo flicked his sleeve, causing the pool to explode, sending water flying in all directions.

A massive roar erupted instantly, and Yan Yuncheng’s figure was revealed once more. As their fists collided, a brilliant, blinding light exploded, drawing gasps of amazement from the onlookers.

Jiang Xie thought about it and realized it was true; the world was vast, and all sorts of people could exist. Yet, this made him secretly wary. As for the memories in the sword hilt, he didn't need to look to remember them completely.

Cornered, the indomitable fighting spirit deep in the bones of the Zhan clan grew even more vigorous. Even though Zhan Tianxing was stained with blood and his wounds were deep enough to see bone, his aura remained as imposing as a rainbow. He stood before Yang Wan and Zhan Zhen, facing the Yan army alone and refusing to take a single step back.

"It’s not just the bloodshed; the corruption and filth within are unbearable. No wonder China has looked down upon merchants for thousands of years."

After some brief pleasantries, Lu Shanmin got to the point: "Brother Dong, I am honored that Mr. Li thinks highly of me, but I am just a villager from the mountains who knows nothing. I hope you will give me more guidance."

As time passed, low, animalistic growls began to emanate from Lang Yuntai’s throat.

He flew close to the surface of the sea, moving forward blindly. When Hong Mian told him to go left, he went left; when she told him to go right, he went right. In this fog, he felt an inexplicable chill and even felt as if he had stepped into another world. He dared not fly recklessly, trusting entirely in Hong Mian’s instructions.

"Is it that obvious?" I asked. I had deliberately hidden my aura, yet Bai Yunfei had spotted it at a glance.

Jiang Chen’s thoughts raced, and he quickly understood: the specific reason was that he still possessed corresponding value and substance.

She seemed to realize her lack of composure and turned her head away, not wanting Su Ke to see her holding back tears.

The spittle Jiang Weijia had just spat down landed like raindrops on Qin Nianyu, who was about to enter the dormitory building. It’s raining? She subconsciously looked up and saw four extremely flirtatious faces looking down at her like idiots.

The next day, when she woke up, Luo Zhiyong was already up and had prepared breakfast.

Thinking about it, Feng Jie’s death could also be explained: Rou’er had seen Bai Hao and Feng Jie together, and because she liked Bai Hao, she had killed Feng Jie.

As she thought, her eyes grew sore. She sniffed, but the moisture in her eyes refused to subside.

"I don't think I can get it," Fang Pingying said. She hadn't wanted to discuss such unpleasant things the moment they met, but since he asked, she couldn't hide it from him. He had to know eventually.

Without knowing who said it first, one by one they started shouting in agreement. The entire auditorium seemed to explode.
