Volume One, Chapter 85: Acquiring the Radio Station, The Director's Helplessness

"This is quite simple, isn't it!"

"Look at me—naturally sincere, and in terms of personal charm, even if I can't claim to be universally adored, at the very least, I leave a good impression!"

"I won over Uncle with nothing but pure sincerity..." The mood was just right, and Su Le couldn't resist making a joke.

Song Hongyan, however, curled her lips and said, "Speak in plain terms!"

"Honestly, I think Old Master Jin lent me a huge hand!"

"Let me tell you the details, and you'll understand!" In the car, Su Le began sharing his speculations with Song Hongyan. The two chatted and laughed together, very much like a couple deeply in love.

"By the way, Le, what did you say the name of that radio station was..."

After everything was done, Yun Yueying, under the escort of the second judicial squad, was taken outside the city to a manor for reflection.

Princess Jin made her way deep into the Jade Forest along the left bank of the Blue Pool. In the scattered courtyards, the bamboo groves seemed even colder. The wind rustled the bamboo, creating a chilling sound that sent a shiver down one's spine.

"I... I want to visit the marquis's residence!" As she walked, not a soul in sight, a sense of foreboding spread through Leqi's heart, leaving her hands and feet icy cold.

At the north gate of Ji City, a silent standoff was underway between a mass of martial artists and the city guard corps. Sparks seemed to fly in the air, the atmosphere tense and heavy.

Once the impurities were removed, the bead inside split into two distinct halves. To the naked eye, one half was blood-red, the other a dark violet-black.

Inside the ruined temple, contrary to its appearance, it was not dirty at all. She recalled only ever seeing the temple from the outside, never paying it much attention. Now, inside, she was surprised to discover a hidden world.

Ye Qinghan glanced oddly at his Yaoyao, wondering to himself, was she really lost in thought for so long just over this?

Later, when he was penniless and needed to get from Dali to Chengdu, it was Old Sun who paid his lodging and offered advice.

Yun Yueyao resembled a celestial child from a New Year painting, her beauty imbued with an ethereal quality.

Chu Yunfeng had long tried; both the iron chains on his hands and the bars before him were forged of blacksteel—he was powerless. Smiling bitterly, he shook the chains. "Not even a sacred beast pill can break through something not of this world." Suddenly, he thought of Brother Liu Xuefeng. Was he to end up like that, neither man nor ghost, locked away?

She, too, felt a headache coming on. She was already fearless, but now someone had appeared who was even bolder than she was.

This dinner gathering was, in effect, a farewell feast; everyone had chosen their own paths and would soon part ways.

Still, who’s to say? The world is full of wonders—who can say such things could never happen?

At that moment, a pair of gleaming, hand-crafted black leather shoes stepped inside, the polished surface reflecting Nan Xin's pale face.

He had appeared before me at some unknown time, and it was only when he repeated those words that I snapped back to my senses.

Wangyou had powerful backing in the celestial realm. As for me... though people spoke of me as the vessel for Yama, in truth, that's all I was—a vessel, with no real power to intimidate. If pushed too far, Yama could simply destroy me, leaving nothing but a corpse—wouldn't that be even more convenient?

"Fortunately, the patient's will to survive was strong. The operation went smoothly. The family can see her now." The doctor removed his mask.

The bait cast had worked; the fish had bitten, and there was no more reason to hold back.

Before the National Day holiday, the teachers in the honors class were desperate to have the students take all their assignments home. Seven days off left them anxious, terrified they'd forget to assign something.

At this moment, Jiang Xiao was utterly shocked to hear that his son had connections to the Tianlong Organization.

Now, with no worries left behind, the three of them entered the arched gate to explore the remains of the Blacklight Tower. To be safe, they left marks along the way. This way, nothing could go wrong.

Not far from Xiong Bi's room, in another chamber, Gu Yao, who had been sound asleep, suddenly shuddered and snapped her eyes open.

It wasn't in her Flower Soul Mirror, nor in his Hell Alliance, but in a place—an alternate dimension—neither of them had ever visited.

Behind the burly man, his companions glared fiercely, while Ling Feng looked on thoughtfully. It seemed they all hailed from the same tribe.

Wang Biao was stunned for a moment. Seeing Zhou Mingyang fall silent, he realized his friend had entered a state of perfect absorption, so he stood guard, careful not to disturb him.

He first walked a distance toward the exit of the Valley of Beasts, but driven by incurable curiosity, he turned back and snuck into the tomb again.

Ji Longjun replied, and began to circulate his inner energy according to the White Sun Sect's method. His dantian grew hot, but as soon as the energy reached halfway, it was blocked.

Ling Feng sighed, "If all the barbarians thought like you, perhaps your people would truly vanish from the earth!"

When his father drowned his sorrows in drink, he would always tell him—he could never make a mistake calculating ratios.

On the eve of the Water Moon Mirror Flower Trial, Infinite Success Corp. held its first staff meeting on the hillside behind the Martial Hall.

It would not be an exaggeration to call him a legendary figure. In truth, among those with close ties to Xia Yuan, there were many at ministerial rank, and even more at the provincial level.

Heixuan sat alone in the now-empty hall, head bowed, loose black hair obscuring his handsome, endearing face, and hiding every emotion in those catlike eyes.

Beneath the moonlight, a dark figure darted swiftly among the ancient woods, moving rapidly into the distance. In the silvery glow, one could barely make out the delicate features of a youth.

He set a few rules: first, the child must be taken from a poor household; second, fifty taels of silver must be left behind as the price for the child; third, no conflict was to arise with the family.

The might of heaven cannot be resisted. The terror of the lightning tribulation made even the Qi family, a hundred miles away, tremble in fear. Qi Qi stared at the black silhouette standing against the heavenly thunder, her eyes blazing.

Seeing Li Yanyang arrive, Yang Lin felt a strange sense of relief—at least now he had another comrade, and felt a little more secure.

Casually unraveling Ye Chao's excuse, Yu Chuling turned and gazed up to see Ye Yi's still-silent expression. She couldn't help but smile, her delicate face brimming with emotion.

Xu Qing looked astonished, then whispered softly. The two of them entered the room side by side, little knowing that two graceful figures were speeding toward them.

Humans, in the end, are creatures. The first law of any creature is survival. Before survival, all talk of gentlemanly conduct is mere pretense.
