Chapter 33

"Are you a relative of Tang Huang?" Qiu Jiaze suddenly asked, breaking the silence. "If you're still in Shen City in a couple of days, you might as well join our classmate-organized memorial service for Tang Huang at the 'Naked Chicken' diner outside the school gate." Shi Qi gritted her teeth in anger. "There are plenty of bosses who will keep her company!" Guan Jianli's gaze shifted to Ji Wu Jing's pants, where bloodstains from her scratches remained. Her face flushed, Guan Jianli lowered her head, fumbling to unbuckle Ji Wu Jing's belt. Despite the murmurs around them, Lu Shengping turned away from the surveillance monitor and nodded seriously. Together, they strolled through the palace's picturesque gardens, with carved railings, jade pavilions, and water stages—all exquisitely crafted, resembling a fairyland. Two days before the film shoot, Director Tang Hui hadn't assigned roles to Ruan Ying yet, knowing well how to ease a newcomer into the atmosphere. The moment Zhou Yan touched the scroll in the wooden box, a familiar sensation told him that this tightly rolled scroll likely contained the "Summer Character Finger Technique" he was missing. This incident quickly shook the entire Beihai region. As a bustling metropolis, such an event posed a significant disadvantage, turning the Rose Garden into the city's focal point overnight. The trailing mecha didn't activate their energy lights, moving single file through the narrow passage where two could barely walk side by side. "Of course, and only the two of us," Murong Yanyu said with a sly smile. Zhang Nianzu nodded, surprised that the ant tribe's strongest forces seemed to have been exhausted in the gymnasium battle, leaving their headquarters vulnerable. Jia Ba, clutching his chest, hesitated before standing up, still shaken from the pain that Zhang Nianzu had inflicted earlier. In the past, such longing gazes were what she craved, but now she had to urge Haitianyi to leave. She believed that once the time came, she could eliminate all opposition within the Pharmacist Association and even oust the old man An, allowing her Shen family to regain absolute control. Zhang Liang shouted at the people of the Passionate Manor, knowing full well their strength was no match for the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan; they would only be sacrificing themselves if they fought. With his mental energy nearly depleted and unable to defend himself, he could still use it to locate his sniper—a tall figure in a coat and hood, whose face was obscured. "Of course, I'm not in the mood for a mission today," she thought, satisfied with her earnings of over twenty million over the weekend. Chu Xinxin, who had always been diligent and never wronged Gu Xinyi, met a tragic end at the hands of betrayal. At that time, Catherine explained that the person in question was a fictional character. The magistrate of Qingshui County, having saved the princess and improved local governance with innovative（heating systems）and grain production, was highly praised by the emperor the following morning. It was no wonder that despite the recent death of his patient, Su Wanshao had declared her recovery—after all, the fall of the Great Li dynasty wouldn't affect their lives. The golden light radiating from Jingu seemed like a divine salvation, enveloping the dragons. A deep, angry roar echoed as Fang Qing, with silver-gray hair, was escorted here. The young man spoke eloquently on various subjects, arousing envy from everyone present. Yi Zhengqi laughed heartily; the person before him was none other than Cai Lao Ye, the kind old man who had taken care of him when he first arrived at the Kasang Fortress. "Thank you, brother," Rui En said, noticing Kuilin was taller, fairer, and more handsome than himself, though he felt a pang of jealousy. But then he realized Kuilin wasn't as strong as he looked, and his thoughts turned to inappropriate images. However, Liu Er suddenly wrapped her arms around Gao Huaiyuan from behind, caressing his scars and sobbing. Gao Huaiyuan's body tensed, then slowly relaxed as he turned to embrace her... Rui En inspected the power unit, comparing it with memories from his inheritance, before finally leaving—renovations required blueprints and testing, not something to rush. Another opinion suggested they must reward the troops generously. After all, the battle at Hongjie Mountain alone warranted such recognition. To fail to reward them now would dampen the soldiers' morale. "It's not that simple," Qi Yong shook his head, smiling with a chilling gleam in his eyes. "Miaoling and I will come back alive no matter what. We've fought many battles and always survived. You have to trust me, and trust yourself. After this mission, we'll get married and have three hundred rounds of combat!" Wu Fei said seriously. The yellow-haired bear and black bull exchanged suspicious glances. "Yes!" Shi Anan looked at the pictures, which seemed like stones with slightly larger bugs inside. During lunch, many students from neighboring tables couldn't help but steal glances at them. After washing the dishes, Lin Ran wiped her hands, took out her phone, and logged into Wanwang to check again. After a tense standoff, the Ailizhou family had no choice but to leave, avoiding unnecessary trouble.
