In the dimly lit room, with terrifying mask decorations hanging on the wall, an actor sweating profusely, and eerie sounds—truly, if someone called this a horror film, people would believe it. It was indeed a movie directed by the master of horror, Wen Ziyi.
Facing the complete one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn in Ma Xiaoqiao's attitude, Wang Chenyu and Yao Jian could hardly believe their ears, fearing they had heard wrong.
"Hey, son, why don't you bring over a couple of cameramen and makeup artists to do our makeup or something?" Chen Lin joked.
Sharp pains wracked his body, but Yin Haochen clenched his teeth without frowning even once. Because his heart hurt even more.
However, now that Yu Siyu knew Luo Yao's calm attitude toward all this, she realized that certain things must have been fabricated out of nothing, and a faint sense of disappointment welled up in her heart.
Although the Great Tang Empire had never practiced racial discrimination, when it came to national boundaries and sovereign states, it held an unwavering faith. To be a citizen of the Great Tang Empire was a supreme glory.
Having said that, Lin Juan bowed slightly, signaling to Yuan Ping that he had finished his speech. His entire address was concise, without excessive self-promotion, and delivered with genuine sincerity. Warm applause broke out from the audience below, and Lin Juan's words had indeed touched upon some deep emotions in their hearts.
A flash of surprise crossed Jin Jie's eyes, immediately replaced by admiration. He had not expected that Lin Juan, who had already risen to global fame, could still remain so sincere and humble. At that moment, he truly felt that the younger generation was formidable indeed.
Even though he was not particularly sensitive to business, he knew how severe such a loss would be for a company.
Li Huaimin was not impatient either. For such a vile person, he knew very well that some methods were necessary to instill fear in his heart, so that whenever he recalled this in the future, boundless dread would consume him.
Whether it was the Netherworld Dragon King's layout over millions of years or the influence of the spatial rift's power, once flying into this region, even Allen's spiritual power found it difficult to pierce through its foundation at a single glance.
With that, Qin Yang pulled open the car door and got inside. Since he didn't want to return to Courtyard Number Two just yet, he might as well just drive around and pass the time.

In the bustling tavern's second-floor seating area, a knight clad in light armor sat quietly in an exquisite private booth. Through the booth's adjustable curtains, all the movement within the tavern was within his line of sight.
At this moment, everyone began to cry out. The expressions of those from the Wuji Hall were extremely ugly, yet facing so many people, they dared not say much. They could only glare fiercely at the lavishly dressed young lord.
Logically speaking, few people ever visited the back courtyard of the Prince Jiang's Mansion. Therefore, even though it was cleaned regularly, a faint scent of dust was inevitable—resembling the smell of abandoned estates in remote wildernesses, making anyone who stepped inside feel a profound sense of unease.
"Lady Xia, it is already late into the night. Perhaps we should go inside first, and wait until tomorrow morning when everything will be much clearer," Xuan San suggested.
"This Xiao Yu has formed a blood feud with my family; he must die!!" Qiu Biqiu's resolve hardened instantly in his heart.
Yet when Mu Yiyi stepped into this place amidst the hazy twilight, she felt a sense of peace as comforting as resting in a mother's embrace.
"Yunyun, you certainly know how to haggle." Because the terrain was elevated, whenever the wind picked up, it howled past their ears.
Hearing Katie's words, Allen's expression shook and then rapidly turned to excitement, as if the long-awaited hope for recovery had suddenly descended upon injuries that had long shown no signs of healing.
He had originally been dozing against the wall over there, vaguely drifting into a rather pleasant dream and feeling quite comfortable. Never had he expected to be rudely awakened just as the more delightful imagery he anticipated in his dream was about to unfold. Daring not to direct his anger at Yu Sheng, he had no choice but to suppress it and vent his frustration on Su Tianfang after arriving here.
No matter how depressed Su Tianfang felt, he was left speechless and had nothing left to say.
Only after running along to the cave entrance just now did he realize that Long Xiuzhe hadn't arrived yet. So he had turned back to check, and sure enough, he found Long Xiuzhe looking somewhat bewildered and frightened.
"It doesn't matter, we are all our own people. Besides, who doesn't know that stubborn mule over at the Treasure Casting Garden?" Hua Min waved his hand dismissively.

At nine-thirty in the morning, Wang Mo came to distribute assignments to everyone once again. Wang Yuqing rubbed her hands in eager anticipation; there had never been a day when she looked forward to work assignments as much as she did now.
As they spoke, they had already caught sight of Shen Shifang, who lay quietly on the bed, his handsome features still striking even in unconsciousness.
The last shred of wishful thinking in their hearts vanished completely. If they weren't mistaken, armed police officers must have been deployed at every single exit.
Indeed, sitting in the seat of honor were none other than Shen Mu's three chief bodyguards: Han Buhui, Han Buxiu, and Chen Xin, with only Bianweisheng missing.
Tang Yingying brushed aside Yin Qingyan's outstretched hand and departed resolutely, leaving Yin Qingyan standing frozen in place, utterly stunned and bewildered.
Although Su Ziuyang had spent the entire journey pondering, when suddenly questioned like this, he still didn't know how to respond and simply shook his head.
However, she did happen to enjoy the snacks here, as online shopping didn't always guarantee finding flavors to her satisfaction.
At first, she genuinely couldn't lift the axe. No matter how Tao Hua tried to teach her, she simply couldn't lift it, which infuriated Tao Hua to the point of wanting to bite her a couple of times.
