Chapter 36: The Path One Chooses

He hurried inside and took her temperature; the thermometer displayed 39 degrees Celsius. This terrified him, as he was usually in excellent health and rarely fell ill, so he kept very little medicine at home.

Below in the hall, a sudden uproar erupted. People craned their necks to gaze up at VIP Room No. 3. The room’s architecture was quite peculiar: those inside had an unobstructed view of the stage below, while those below could not catch even a glimpse of what was happening inside.

"Those who scorn the shadows must pay the price. No one is an exception," the shadow replied coldly.

With the dance disrupted, the petrification magic weakened significantly, and Dragon Fist regained full consciousness.

"Warriors, Dragon Fist commands many sky-warriors, and they are capable of forming the Thunder Spear Array. This formation is incredibly powerful. We must strike with our strongest force at the very beginning to crush them before they have a chance to set up their formation. Do you understand?" Zuo Xixue commanded.

Yin Ziye was naturally delighted to agree; he didn't just want to be their father for the time being—he wanted to be their father for a lifetime.

Seeing the footsteps drawing nearer, she gritted her teeth, placed Qi Tianhao back on the couch, cast a final, regretful glance at him, and vaulted out of the back window.

"Honestly, how can you be so ungrateful? My senior brother was trying to save you, and you blame him!" Spark said angrily.

These were high-level magical beasts. If a challenger did not use battle energy, it would be impossible to defeat them. However, the beasts had also been administered drugs to suppress their magic cores, preventing them from using their innate magical skills.

Recovering one's memory should have been a joyous occasion, but for some reason, Fan Xueyi could not find it in her heart to be happy. Had she not been searching for these lost memories from the moment she woke up?

Not only would it cause the officials to lose face, but the local commoners would also be humiliated and become targets of public scorn.

"How could that be? I don't think much of his pathetic skills. I simply won't give him the antidote, letting him beg the White Physician every day. Even the White Physician will be helpless and forced to seek out the Peerless Poison Master."

In truth, Yang Wanli was also furious, but if he stepped forward now, it might only bring more trouble for Jingwen.

If someone were to suddenly burst in, they would see the two of them in a pose reminiscent of an exquisite erotic painting.

As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. Zhou Siyu did not want Lin Yanwan to be easily defeated by Lin Zhiting.

Qin Zhao was amused by her candor, his heart softening. He couldn't help but pinch her cheek, watching her enter the courtyard, turning back to look at him every few steps.

After all, in this internet age, a single wrong word could lead to being "canceled," making it all the more necessary to act with constant caution.

"You accepted their bribes, which is why you tampered with the contract at the mall to funnel profits to them," Officer Tao stated.

Their every word and action would be directly linked to the Xia Kingdom, representing its stance to the world.

You Yiting held a camera as the four of them headed to a location specifically built by the Wanli Group for magazine photoshoots.

"Is there a chip inside?" the man interrogated. "No!" Chen Rui felt completely bewildered by the questioning. If having a chip implanted had no effect on him, why the interrogation?

Just like the seductive demon in his dreams, a slight crook of the finger was enough to leave him spellbound and reeling.

"That's about all there is to renovating the house," Liu Chongxin and the village chief explained the general plan to Shengyin.

"Think what you will, Third Master; I have no right to interfere," Yu Jinxing replied with another cultured smile, ignoring the thirteenth and turning to whisper intimately with the young lady beside him.

The old man did not outright reject Shangguan Yishu or throw him out; instead, he listened to his nonsense repeatedly, only to conclude with a "We shall discuss this later," which left the thirteenth feeling as though he were sitting on pins and needles.

Su Jinyun sat on the sofa where she had been a moment ago; the cell signal had been completely jammed, and she could not make a call.

Walking along the road, she was reminded of a joke she once read: a man was so unwilling to let his donkey carry the salt that he carried the salt himself while riding the donkey.

"Fine! Have it your way. I will speak with the boss later." Han Bin, unable to prevail, chose to let Ji Xian go.

Before Li Rui could speak, Su Jinyun handed him a bank card with the PIN written on it.

"Of course there is! Can't you see it? Look, that whole expanse!" Old Zhao gestured excitedly.

Over the next three days, my master went out early and returned late, rarely home. She wanted to leave the time to Shen Xue and me, so we could cherish every minute before our parting.

Therefore, young people, please remember: never give up your efforts. The whole world may look down on you, but you must never look down on yourself.

"This... how could I be such a person? Just wait, I'll go right now... and be back in a flash!" Wang Tong stammered.

As for how long Ouyang Zhi's situation could be kept hidden, I wasn't sure. As the Chairman of the Karen Group, it wouldn't matter if he were absent for a day or two, but if he were gone for too long, it would inevitably invite suspicion. Even if Huilan didn't suspect anything, the media would certainly take notice.

Lei Ming was on the verge of collapse and could be taken down by those biochemical soldiers at any moment.

Since they were out on a date and didn't want to cause a stir, Tang Mingli drove his most low-key car—a Porsche Cayenne.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, we took A-Jiang to the countryside to visit her grandparents' graves. The people of Zheng Village avoided us as we passed, not even daring to look my way.
