Chapter 108: Title and Status

Zhou Ci said, "This is as it should be." Gu Shenshen cared deeply for her family, though she rarely showed it on the surface; Zhou Ci was well aware of this. That was why, from time to time, he couldn’t help but turn his attention to the Gu family.

Gu Shenshen replied, "Thank you."

The driver...

Huanhuan had asked him for a house before, but each time he refused with various excuses. This time, he decided to give her some compensation.

Qing Tongyin smiled awkwardly and sat down. Her following on Weibo had reached 750,000. Though there weren’t that many people present, the autograph session, which began at ten in the morning, still hadn’t finished by three in the afternoon. The crowd remained undiminished.

Now, Wen Ruyi’s words made Qingge realize that all this warmth and care was nothing but an illusion, a flower in the mirror, a moon reflected in water.

After a while, Ye Qiqi appeared, beaming with happiness as she carried two bowls of stinky tofu toward the white building.

Sister Lin gave a somewhat embarrassed smile, patted Chengcheng on the head, and then, somewhat disappointed, turned and walked toward the bar counter.

"Now that Xingnian has gone to America, who knows how things are going there? In any case, it’s bound to end badly, and he left with a heavy heart!" Jiuliang glanced at the person lying on the sofa, knowing full well the unspoken troubles referred to the breakup between the two of them.

For him, eating had become just another daily routine. When it was time, he would eat—so long as he could fill his stomach, he had no expectations for the food itself.

Meanwhile, online notifications of generous tips began to flash by. Many, curious after Zhao Yao’s "hint," wandered into King Kong’s livestream room.

"That’s not true, officer. Don’t listen to their nonsense. How could I possibly be a thief who steals underwear?" Afeng shook her head, but the security captain was not interested in listening.

The ring of a sword being drawn sounded, followed by a cold glint slicing across the sky, as dazzling as the first ray of dawn.

Thus, the crowd surged forward—some bowing and scraping, pleading for Jia Cong’s magnanimity, others angrily berating the young gatekeeper for his insolence.

So here’s the question: since the pendant box was acquired so easily, with hardly any effort at all, what reason would Kreacher have for keeping it?

Platinum Crow imitated Mr. Liang and raised his hands. A soldier proceeded to search him from head to toe. Platinum Crow was extremely uncomfortable—a grown man frisking him felt disgusting. If it had been Su Xianmo, Princess Redshift, Miss Blueshift, or even Miss Hua Diao, he might have felt better about it.

Just as the Song family was about to soar above all other Jiangnan families, their dream was shattered in less than two days.

The wooden man withstood two rounds of fierce, coordinated attacks from the crowd. Dongfang Yunyang had thus demonstrated the wooden man’s formidable defense and astonishing recovery. Now, he intended to show everyone its offensive capabilities as well.

He was wondering how long he would have to wait when suddenly a startled cry rose from the crowd, who were gradually regaining their original appearances.

The key point was that, so far, everything had gone smoothly. If this person remained lucid and remembered their conversation the next day, they would likely mention the sorcerer in casual talk.

Was she laughing at me? Really now, what about someone as lowly as me could possibly be amusing? Of course, it’s much more satisfying to toy with those who are more deserving of being destroyed and trampled, isn’t it?

In class, no one was paying attention. Everyone was waiting for the arrival of the other three competing teams.
