One hundred and twelve. One hundred and twelve.

After President Li and his associates departed into the distance, Gu Xixi’s true identity spread throughout the banquet hall, drawing several gazes that would occasionally drift toward the pair.

Sweaty and exhausted after submitting countless resumes, all she ever heard from employers upon learning she was a fresh graduate was a single line: "Go home and wait for news."

"It’s because I’m good at hiding it. I was afraid your feelings were only on the surface, not in your heart." Seeing Chen Jiran finally break into a smile, Gu Xixi felt a sense of joy herself.

Lin Chen did not refuse. After all, he was climbing a wall with the campus beauty, and having caught a glimpse of Jiang Xinying and Li Kexin’s long, slender legs, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the thought of the scene to come.

Ares, subjected to the full-force onslaught of the Star of Extinction, suffered several horrific wounds from the opponent’s swordsmanship. Yet, before these could cause him pain or become a fatal threat, they were rapidly healed by powerful restorative magic fueled by his boundless mana.

The barrier he had constructed was capable of blocking all sounds, vibrations, auras, and scents within the perimeter.

Shortly after, five half-human, half-corpse creatures emerged one after another, standing in two opposing rows, roaring at each other.

Just as Ares was caught in a dilemma, the golden triangular seal suddenly began to vibrate. Simultaneously, the levitation force that had filled the hall vanished, causing everyone who had been pressed against the ceiling to tumble to the ground and find their footing.

Chen Bo spoke silently as he opened several wine bottles one by one, then, with a solemn expression, poured them over the cenotaphs.

When Lu Xudong found me, I was still silently praying in my heart, hoping that a divorce now wouldn’t be too late and that it wouldn’t lead to further harm.

However, Ye Li, currently on the battlefield, did not slacken in the slightest; he released his mental energy, keeping a fixed watch over the entire space.

Having been with Lin Qingyuan for so long, I had practically watched him grow up day by day, and our relationship had long since evolved beyond that of a mere employer and employee.

Yuan Yanjie was not one to admit defeat easily; he would not compromise lightly or walk a path he held in the lowest regard.

Thinking of what Uncle Wu had once said to her, and considering that her mother might be here, Gu Xiaoyu was suddenly filled with a desperate will to survive.

Meanwhile, he could vaguely discern two pairs of extremely malevolent eyes staring at him from within the pile of corpses.

In truth, he had just come from a battle that could be described as intense and satisfying, followed by a day and night of unconsciousness. As someone with a massive appetite, he was already starving, his stomach pressed against his ribs.

As this voice rang out, the seven great suns shattered instantly, and seven torrents of supreme Dao converged into the sword light atop the Evil Sword.

"You’re talking about ordinary disciples; I am a true disciple!" Ming Chen rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"I had a little," Yuan Yanjie said. It wouldn't have been realistic to claim he hadn't eaten at all at noon, just waiting for her.

"I told you it was a guess! President Cen’s words—that this team would not change until the end of the competition—can’t you hear what that means?" Yu You met Liu Zhenzhen’s angry glare.

Once Stark Industries transformed into an energy corporation, this thing would be the most useless of junk; the costs were too high to be competitive, so it was better to discard it early while it still held some value.

As a shadow loomed over him, he threw his shield up with all his might, only to be swatted away by the charging giant bear, his entire arm shattered by the impact.

But if she did that, the Yu family would certainly retaliate. It didn't matter what happened to her, but Tom could not be harmed.

Just as Lin Chen had said, Luo Tianhuan hadn't lost out; in fact, he had made a killing, so he had no objections to Lin Chen’s cut of the profits.

The color of the Origin Crystal shifted from deep red to a dreamy pink; perhaps it should now be called the Dream Origin.

During the days spent recovering from their wounds, the two were together from dawn till dusk, gradually developing complex emotions. Their feelings shifted from initial gratitude to something more, turning into intimacy, and eventually blossoming into love.

For now, this was merely the strongest Dark Gold Leopard Orc in the vicinity, surviving by hunting carrion vultures with its subordinates.

However, when Su Yin looked up at You Zishi, she saw a mysterious confidence on his face and a smile that suggested he had everything under control.

She had previously received an imperial decree to leave the palace and come to the imperial mausoleum to make an arrest, but Jiang Yunqing had suddenly appeared, insisting on accompanying her to the mausoleum.

After speaking, Liang Wan lifted the teacup cover and glanced inside, but she did not drink; the corner of her lips curled into a mocking smile.

"I remember Emperor Hongxuan didn't look like this; didn't he have three heads and six arms?" Lu Xianming asked curiously.

For someone with his constitution, food that could be felt so strongly would only have an even better effect on ordinary people.

As he spoke, the old man seemed to sense that something was wrong. He looked carefully at the circle of green surrounding them, his eyes widening in shock.

Her thick hair was like wet satin, dark and lustrous. Her skin, soaked in hot water, was flushed with a soft pink, adding a gentleness to her usual cool, pale complexion.

It wasn't that his refined handsomeness had left Shen Zhaozhao dazed, but simply because she recognized this man.

Gu Yifan supported her waist with one hand and her arm with the other, and the two slowly made their way down together.

The chieftain froze, his gaze immediately turning lecherous, roaming wantonly over her. Although she looked somewhat disheveled, her attire was luxurious and she was delicate, like a piece of slippery, soft tofu, making him itch to take a bite.

Perhaps due to the earlier warning, even though the kitchen had been busy these past two days, the refrigerator remained organized according to the rules Ye Tian had set: every ingredient was returned to its place after use, labeled with its expiration date.
