Volume 1, Chapter 32: Why Are You Running Around Blindly?

Taking advantage of his dazed state, she pushed the pill into his mouth; soon, he grew still and drifted into a deep sleep.

Ruan Liuzheng laid him onto the couch, the lingering sensation on her lips refusing to fade—they were red and swollen.

"I'm sorry," she whispered.

She then turned and left.

Ruyan was waiting for her outside, and as soon as they met, a servant led them away through the back gate.

They followed the servant without hesitation, but upon reaching the mountain behind the estate, Ruan Liuzheng felt something was amiss and grew suspicious.

At that moment, Mo Shang and the others, who had been tailing Xin Yueheng, posed as traveling merchants seeking lodging. They booked rooms on either side of those occupied by Xin Yueheng and Jun Yifeng, keeping a close watch on the situation inside.

It wasn't just Tang Mo; when Fu Wenduo and Chen Shanshan heard the Black Tower announce that over five million players had successfully loaded into the game, they subconsciously assumed that was the number of invisible people. However, when the Black Tower announced a second later that only three hundred and twenty thousand players had loaded in, they instantly realized who the true minority was.

A single word felt like a spark ignited deep within Mu Yeli’s heart, instantly spreading through his entire being.

Just then, the security guards below the stage received orders and prepared to advance. Zhao Qingluo hurriedly rushed up to intercept them, climbing onto the stage to stand beside Tong Rong and the head judge.

He spent the entire round contemplating the game, considering the changes brought about by the two newly added rules. The more he thought, the more he felt a lingering fear.

He wondered if those who had eventually vied for the Demon God's Mark were like him. Did they also have voices demanding they collect the power of the Demon God?

Over there, the Golden-Eyed Black-Feathered Eagle hung its head and turned away, looking like a child who knew they had done something wrong. "N-no, nothing at all, really," it mumbled, lacking any conviction.

His thin, sharp lips trailed from behind Shen Ningxuan’s ear, lingering and wandering along the graceful line of her neck. Then, slightly lifting his head, he swept lightly across her lips—an act of extreme intimacy that left her heart aching with desire.

Qi Haoyang walked over with a stack of documents and found Yue Tingcheng looking utterly grim. He sighed softly; he knew his friend had been under immense pressure lately, but there was simply no way to find a breakthrough.

The first chasm: the majority of them did not originate from the third, fourth, fifth, or sixth levels of the Qiankun Tower. Most of them had previously been nothing but street urchins and beggars; it would take a miracle for them to have even set foot on the second level, given how poor their aptitude was.

"When did you amass so many fans..." Lan Lincheng rubbed his throbbing temples, following closely behind us into the lounge.

Besides, she had known Gu Junze for so long, and the number of women he addressed with such intimacy could be counted on one hand.

Yan Mufeng could say this so easily only because he had never experienced those bleak, desperate days.

Furthermore, the implication was clear: Xu Jianhua was only fit to scrub the toilets, while Xu Jiahui had been singled out for criticism and was still required to continue her schooling rather than transfer.

Yan Tianyu leaned against the car window, looking back at them with a grin. With a snap of her fingers, Diao Han shuddered. Su Xingchen removed the hair tie from her mouth, and Diao Han gasped, drawing in a sharp breath.

Seeing that Ye Yaotiao remained silent for a long moment, Han Shaoxun narrowed his eyes, a glint of ferocity flashing in their depths.

The remaining six subjects were assigned to farm work, tasked with repairing the irrigation channels that had been damaged; six people should be enough to manage the planting.

She took the fishing rod with a giggle. Since she hadn't caught any bugs for days, Su Su used bread as bait to fish.

The children began their classes as usual, and Lin Mu continued his journey as an intern boss, following Yanzi to the company to familiarize himself with the business and staff, preparing for the time when she would be at home for her pregnancy and postpartum recovery.

As the words fell, the calm sea began to churn. An unparalleled sword intent shook the heavens and earth, and ten thousand swords sang in unison, rising into the sky to merge into a single, massive blade. It hung in the air, its peerless intent exerting an unprecedented pressure.
