Volume One, Chapter 130: An Overnight Sensation

He shook the finger that was, in truth, hardly seriously injured, and looked at her with undisguised expectation.

Fu Yuting was so stunned by Bo Xingzhou’s sudden request that she was left speechless. She failed to swallow a mouthful of water and choked, coughing repeatedly as her cheeks instantly flushed crimson.

Was this really Bo Xingzhou?!

Had some strange creature possessed him?!

Yu Cai could not see Fang Mumu and was frantic with worry. She released Fang Jian and watched as the kitchen curtain was lifted by the wind, revealing Fang Mumu’s figure inside. She ran wildly toward the kitchen.

Mount Zhongnan lay very close to Chang’an, yet the system had granted him a full thirty days for the sign-in. That meant this sign-in could not be as simple as merely reaching Mount Zhongnan.

Meng Tian felt a headache coming on as well. If he had not seen the Qin soldiers’ corpses piled as high as mountains, he would never have believed that the previous night they had practically become lambs led to the slaughter.

Unwilling to remain there any longer, she turned to leave, but before she could take a step, someone seized her by the wrist.

After asking Chen Mo for a cigarette, Bai Luoyang leaned against the window and smoked, watching the scenery flash past outside. He did not know where he was going. Perhaps, after his grandfather’s death, he no longer had anywhere to return to.

Skillfully grinding the herb into a paste, mixing it with water, and making the man drink it, Jian Man did not finally breathe a sigh of relief until the man had suffered repeated bouts of diarrhea and his complexion returned to normal.

She really could not bear to watch such a disgusting performance. Jian Man snorted coldly, pulled her hand free, and left.

Fang Jian took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand. “Is there really that much difference between twenty days and a hundred days?” After asking, he lifted his bowl and noisily gulped down a large mouthful of soup mixed with flour.

Yu Cai’s father entered the room. By the time Yu Cai noticed and looked up, all she could see before her was the door she had desperately wanted to step through moments earlier. Now it seemed almost like a thug, provokingly staring her down.

The many experts had looked utterly dull-witted at the time. They had arrived full of hope, believing they would witness the rise of a prodigious talent. They had never expected this.

Su Ge Lan put her phone into the pocket of her hoodie, drew a deep breath, and lowered her head to look at the conspicuous ball of fur beside her feet.

But she did not wait for the court assembly to end. Instead, she heard a rush of hurried footsteps, followed by devastating news she could scarcely believe.

Yi Bai walked into the main hall and bowed deeply, offering his thanks to the Celestial Worthy of Universal Transformation of Thunder with the Sound of Thunder Responding to the Nine Heavens. Then he turned his awareness inward to the brown pearl and thought silently, Much obliged.

Lin Mo swept his gaze over the murderous members of the myriad races before him, then opened the largest iron cage.

Having lived in this world for so long, Li Aiguo had gained some understanding of its strict secrecy protocols.

While several people conversed in low voices, he held a fruit platter and used a silver fork to pick out and eat the fresh fruit. From time to time, the fork struck the platter with a faint clink, making those already tense to the breaking point flinch.

“The company Qin Yi brought in was established by the general manager of Future Venture Capital himself, and invested in under the name of Qin Yupeng?” Peng Xiao asked in astonishment.

“After liberation, he was sent to a rehabilitation center. Under your guidance, he came to recognize his mistakes deeply and decided to reform himself and start life anew.”

“If you don’t have the skills, don’t take on the job. You can barely protect yourself, yet you still come here to cause trouble for my son.” Madam Zhao answered irritably. There was truly nothing she could do at present except watch anxiously.

As for Bai Cheng, Su Jinx惜 still could not be certain of anything. She had yet to find an opportunity to speak about those matters and did not even know how to begin.

Although Bailitang was tucked away in an inner alley, its superb medical skills still made it a lively place.

Before graduating, he had boldly declared that he would become the greatest coach—without exception. He traveled to professional clubs across China, only to be ignored everywhere and reduced to a laughingstock in the basketball world.
