Chapter 51: That Man Is Me

He signed his name without hesitation.

Li Jiuwei kindly reminded him, “Aren’t you going to take a look?”

“I trust you, my dear lady. You would never trick me.”

…He certainly had faith in her.

After the signing was complete, they shook hands as a gesture.

“Here’s to a pleasant partnership.”

“To a pleasant partnership—”

Having achieved his goal, Lu Songchi’s eyes brimmed with laughter, and Li Jiuwei was equally radiant with joy.

“Hey, Brother Su, isn’t that Miss Li?”

No one quite knew what had gotten into Zhang San. He unleashed his most formidable tactics right from the start, putting his opponent—already constrained by a cold, steely martial will—in a tough spot. Though he managed to drive Zhang San back in the end, he himself did not escape unscathed.

Suddenly, with a sharp click, the bedroom door swung open. What met Ike’s gaze was—an agent of the Morton Bureau.

After a brief silence came a fierce counterattack. The young talents from every private room strutted about, each vying to display their prowess like peacocks fanning their feathers. Indeed, in Xue Yanran’s eyes, that was exactly what they resembled at this moment.

“It’s getting late. I’ll head back now.” He looked down at the person who barely reached his chin as he spoke.

In that instant, a glistening tear slipped from Sophie’s eye, trailing down her beautiful, spirited face before dropping quietly to the floor.

Meng Xiao finally decided to go along with Li Yan’s plan. Yet this scene made Yan Xiang so anxious that he kept opening his mouth as if to say something, only to stop himself each time, not daring to be too obvious. His hesitant expression drew barely stifled laughter from the others.

“You don’t love Ruan Xiangnan, yet you remain at her side. Surely your motive isn’t just to reclaim the Li family, as you told me.” Tang Xinya’s voice was cold as she spoke.

After three days and nights of constant vigilance in front of their computers, the tech experts erupted in jubilant cheers.

I still have some money in hand, so renting a place isn’t an issue. It would be best to find a roommate, but hardly anyone can put up with Dabao.

“But I came anyway. At least this time, I have the confidence to face your flying daggers.” Linghu Xue smiled faintly.

Chen Feng understood exactly what the other was thinking. By letting him escape, he was buying himself more time—and the greater the delay, the higher his own chances of survival. With this in mind, Chen Feng merely shot his companion a cold glance, saying nothing more.

Hearing Xiao Bing’s words, Chen Feng felt uneasy. Though Xiao Bing was somewhat attractive, in his eyes it meant nothing. Besides, Chen Feng was not the type for casual entanglements.

Color—this dish is utterly unappetizing; aroma—I must have a cold, for I can’t smell a thing; taste—I haven’t even tried it yet, but I’m already considering making do with the rations in my bag.

But why did she come to me about this? I can neither solve her problem nor dare to ask Director Min to rough someone up for her.

The flames clearly struck his body, yet passed right through him. A gentle sword-light, tinged with the red of fire, suddenly flared to life.

With a final scream, which faded into the void, the entire figure of Emperor of the Ethereal, along with the divine artifact Ethereal Fan, was swallowed up by Yang Qi.

At this point, everyone could see that Yang Qi’s cultivation was growing ever stronger, his fighting spirit soaring higher with no end in sight. Various cosmic essences and energies from the divine realm were being drawn into him from the depths of the universe, turning him into a perpetual motion machine that never ran out of true energy.

With excitement, she slipped to the bedside, shed her outer garments, and climbed in. Pulling the quilt over both of them, Meilansha propped her head up with one hand and gently caressed Lei’s face with the other, studying him closely.

Xiu’er felt her last trip to Zhao was too brief, so when she heard they were heading to the royal city this time, she insisted on going along. Qin Qing also wanted her companionship for the journey, but worried that her lively nature might lead to careless words. So, she gave her strict instructions not to speak out of turn once they reached Lü Buwei’s residence.
