Chapter 64: An Unexpected Incident

In this episode, one person's script will be revealed, while another's will remain shrouded in mystery. The one kept secret... the executive producer spoke with intrigue, "That's the one we're pushing. We'll give them some screen time this episode, then fifteen percent of the script next time to keep the audience hooked, and in the episode after that, we'll unveil it all."

Watching the show...

Niu Jun was even more annoyed to see the people from the sales department unable to utter a single coherent sentence. Perhaps, he thought, they simply believed there was no news value here compared to Xu Xia's side; that must be why their faces looked so sour.

There were furs for sale, fabrics, all sorts of meats, and curiosities of all kinds, including glass jars.

Yet, even after three more minutes, the judge beside Chairman Liu still hadn't received the handoff from him.

If nothing else, take Teacher Ma Guofeng for example—he's of such an advanced age, and even he uses social media!

In the last chapter, when the demon soldiers invaded, Murong Yan asked which general would lead the troops out of the city to fight the enemy. Someone under her command immediately volunteered for battle.

"Enough! Take a rest," Qiu Ruyue sighed, returning to her room and lying down. Though she said she would rest, she tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep, a clear sign of how troubled she truly was.

"Brother Su is formidable! The beast clan is no easy foe, but Brother Su managed to eliminate him with such ease—it's truly impressive." The lively Gong Fan was quick to flatter.

It was only because this body possessed the 'Devour' talent—any food consumed was instantly transformed into evolution points—that he hadn't thought of it sooner.

Just thinking about that fox enchantress, she was nothing but a calamity, her death was hardly a loss. It's fortunate she's gone; otherwise, if Rui'er kept her company, who knows what she might have learned.

Hui'an heard them clamoring about who was the peony and felt muddled himself. "Lingzhu, which one is it?" he asked.

Though her face was veiled, Liu Xuxu could still feel Ning Baobei's soft, delicate hand. His hand was smoother than hers, and the touch sent tingles throughout her body.

"My dear, do I need to knock to enter my own room?" Nangong Jin said, a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

After finally catching the end of the workday, she dashed out of her office and ran straight to his. Outside his door, she seized him. He stared at her in shock, his eyes deliberately avoiding hers.

The sound of Ye Tian sliding off the rocks into the pool was crystal clear in the silent forest. Now, with the bearded man shouting and seeing no response or sign of anyone at the water, he immediately decided to investigate.

For a personal attendant, dignified features were essential. Lady Qu's own appearance was plain—so plain, in fact, that to call her even modestly pretty would be an exaggeration—so she couldn't countenance having attendants whose looks far surpassed her own.

"Then don't blame me for being rude!" With that, the manor lord struck at Gongsun Nan with a slicing palm.

"Is drinking really a problem for us? Ha!" Bai Yufei shot me a look, and everyone burst out laughing.

Mu Bihui was a woman of firm resolve, but from the fact that her old servant Ah Shan was willing to leave his own son behind to accompany her into the palace, and chose her without hesitation even at the brink of life and death, it was clear he was trustworthy—Ning Yuansheng had already investigated Ah Shan's background thoroughly.

I was stunned for a moment—they're moving in three waves? This is trouble. Does this mean Qingmiao and I have to split up to deal with them?

We loitered where we stood, chatted idly, teased one another for a bit, and after wasting another midday, we took a cab back to campus.

He felt a surge of fire element flood into his body—the quantity was the same as when he practiced outside, but now, inside the cave, the quality was utterly different, as if it was hundreds or thousands of times more potent than before.
