Song Jinhe fell a step behind, watching the man ahead of her carry the gifts as he walked.

Her heart was already overflowing with sweetness.

A man like Fu Yanzhou was willing to set aside his dignity and pay a visit to a university professor for the sake of her future.

Such devotion was truly rare.

“The professor ahead is Xu Wenjun. Before we came, I had someone contact her, and I also showed her your credentials. Don’t worry. Your résumé is impressive enough that she’ll certainly be satisfied. We’re here today simply to introduce you two. After this, you can focus on preparing your thesis without worry.”

Song Jinhe nodded. “Thank you, Yanzhou!”

As they spoke, they arrived in front of Professor Xu.

“Professor Xu!…”

Seeing the square-faced old woman and the others with flushed faces, panting exaggeratedly, Li Yuntong inexplicably felt like laughing.

“Tsk!” Que Wu had still been planning to ask him a few questions, so he suddenly felt as though he had been stood up.

“Let’s go. Aren’t roller coasters your favorite?” Long Biyi took her hand and led her back inside.

If something happened and his wife found out that he had been cheating on her behind her back, he would be finished.

That lightning weapon did indeed possess the ability to devour souls. Although the Killing Sword had the same ability, it was comparatively weaker; its blood-drinking effect was far more terrifying.

Old Hu shook his head helplessly, then spoke to Li Changsheng. In his heart, this already counted as quite good—indeed, he had already violated his own principles.

As for deliberately doing something that broke the rules, she did not know whether others would do so. In any case, so long as she was not affected by anything, she would not deliberately act that way.

Xie Lingbai lay beside the bed, sighing repeatedly. If this place had only one guest room, like the village chief’s house, he could have continued sharing a room with Wen Changheng.

Those barley powders had clearly been prepared by the spiritual master. How had they ended up being fastened around him? It was almost as though he had tied himself up with a rope.

When you first entered the shop and asked about the prices, they would quote them extremely low—saying, for example, that abalone and sea cucumber cost only a few dozen yuan per pound. But once the items you chose were weighed and it was time to pay, their prices would instantly increase dozens of times over.

“Who are you calling a dog? Are you looking to die?” Xia Yuxi immediately sprang to her feet and demanded angrily, stretching her neck forward.

A crowd—yes, a crowd. Dozens of people were gathered around, pointing and whispering toward the scene, though no one knew exactly what had happened.

Liu Zhuxue was deeply grateful. Without the two of them, she would probably have died outside, with no one even to bury her. Yet this was not the time for gratitude. She had lost her identity and connections, lost her father, and was now utterly helpless. What could she possibly offer them as thanks?

There were no particularly ornate words, nor any earth-shattering actions. It was merely that one sentence, yet it left Shen Sisi sobbing uncontrollably. She had never realized that he knew how to be romantic, too.

The injuries Lin Xiaoxue had sustained at the engagement banquet had not yet fully healed. Because she became so agitated, she nearly lost her balance and fell.

Moreover, he belonged to Prince Jing, while Mu En and Hua Guan were subordinates of Star King Yan Yanhao. They had never been on the same side to begin with.

After hearing what Chu Tianqing said, Gongsun Quan looked up at her. The Phoenix Mountains could be considered a forbidden land on the Yunqi Continent—how could anyone not know that? But why had this girl suddenly brought it up?

“I’ll take you back to rest first.” Ye Qinghan gently took Su Annuan’s hand, apology in his eyes.

Chu Fan rarely responded to Zhou Ziyu with such seriousness. The contents of this intelligence were simply too unbelievable. More importantly, the other party had not revealed the identity of that precognitive psychic, leaving them with no way to verify it.

iBoy had barely cursed once before the referee warned him that players were not allowed to speak casually during the timeout.

After both families had left, Ran Fei breathed a sigh of relief, though his impression of the Qin family had worsened considerably.

Zhou Gongyi continued, “I’ll drink Li Rugui’s share for him.” With that, the two of them filled three bowls each and drained them one after another. Another round of applause erupted from the crowd, accompanied by enthusiastic cheers.

“Miss Tang, you flatter me. I should have come to see you long ago, but I was worried that your family would be busy and that visiting might cause you trouble,” Madam Chunyu said gently, while Chunyu Jing listened quietly.

“Go and take care of it. I have something else to do. I’ll return on my own once it’s finished.” As Chunyu Yue walked, he pulled off his official cap and robes and tossed them to his attendant. Wearing only the fresh blue-green tunic beneath, he strode away.

Jace’s E skill in Cannon Form, Acceleration Gate, not only grants a speed boost but also provides vision.

If one considered gains and losses in everything, hesitated at every turn, and endured while waiting for an opportunity, life would become too stiflingly self-restrained.

Although he did not want to admit it, the song was good overall. Hu Haiquan and A-Qian’s performances had basically presented no problems; they had both maintained the correct pitch and rhythm. The arrangement and choreography were also excellent. The only flaw was that their vocal technique was somewhat lacking.

Ji Cheng remained silent. It was rare for Third Master to teach his son, and the sight was rather precious. Ziyu was much luckier than he was—Third Master taught him personally, hand by hand. He, on the other hand, had learned through his own observations while staying at Third Master’s side.

After Yan Deyong changed employers, Cheng Annie became even more outspoken on Weibo, declaring that Xia Nianyan was utterly inferior to her.

A while later, the roc carrying everyone arrived at the lake, and the group immediately jumped down.

Zheng Chenheng kept his attention on the newspaper in his hands, completely unconcerned by Fu Rongxi’s unusual awkwardness. Instead, he gave a sidelong look to the man beside him, who was equally unabashedly trying to sit down.

Tian Chang was clever and quick-witted, possessed extraordinary mental faculties, and carried a protective magical treasure. It was hardly surprising that he had managed to overcome layer upon layer of obstacles and reach this place. But when he noticed that Yue Chen was not speaking, suspicion immediately arose in his heart.

The vicious youths were skilled at fighting, while Li Rizhi and the others did not dare actually stab them with their knives. As a result, Li Rizhi’s group was at a disadvantage during the struggle.

After hearing this, the old man let out a soft sigh and reached out to hang up the phone. Although Xichen had agreed to leave, the old man was not happy. Instead, his heart felt even heavier.

After watching them take the pills, Nangong Yunyao turned her gaze toward Yu Li, whose eyes were tightly closed.

Lu Zhiqian felt heat rising throughout his body. Unable to wait any longer, he kissed Yun Niang passionately, and soon they were entwined in a passionate embrace.

As for the bruises on his legs, they might not have been caused by blocking attacks. Beigong Tai was relying on his superior strength, while Jiang Dazhui was already advanced in age. Thus, when Beigong Tai kicked and struck Jiang Dazhui with his legs, those bruises would naturally have appeared.

Ning Xiaoyao released the remaining strength within him, yet the profound-breaking aura vanished into thin air once more, leaving even him utterly baffled. This bull-nosed priest certainly had some tricks up his sleeve. At the very least, he was exceptionally skilled at hide-and-seek; once he concealed himself, not even the slightest trace of his aura could be detected.

It was that groundless conviction that allowed her to face Bai Shaozi as he was now with such calm.
