Volume One, Chapter 35: Truly Too Ashamed to Face Anyone

A woman's blush is the world's only true beauty, effortlessly captivating the soul and binding you to an endless, hopeless descent. With a gaze full of meaning, Qin Zhan fixed his eyes on her flushed face, walked over, and swept her into his arms. "How do you want me to help you?" he asked.

Back in the office, Shen Yan leaned against the sofa chair, hesitated for a long moment, and finally dialed William's number.

Laughing and chatting, the two of them arrived at the meeting room. The Nanshan Squad had a tradition: every Thursday after dinner, they would hold their regular meeting. Due to the special nature of highway police work—often stationed away from home, working in continuous shifts—the whole team was divided into two groups. They alternated, working eight days straight, then resting for six, essentially switching every week.

The College of Foreign Languages prided itself most on unity. If Xia Jinkui deliberately embarrassed the College, making a spectacle of it throughout the university, the dean would never let her off lightly.

Currently, Jiang Group was not entirely under her control, so the budget she brought this time was limited.

Qin Cheng sighed. Now he could see clearly—although Ye Xiaoyan claimed she no longer had any feelings for Chen Tianxiong, the truth was more complicated.

But really, which wealthy man is immune to a wandering heart? Such things are all too common.

At that moment, Qin Cheng's hand was still on Ye Xiaoyan's. Ye Xiaoyan could no longer endure it and hurriedly pulled her hand away.

Previously, He Jingzhou had been troubled for a long time, knowing that Shen Fu was He Zhixing's fiancée, which weighed heavily on his mind.

Li Yan smiled and said, "I haven't built a county yet, but around Yunshui City, I've constructed quite a few villages for the people to live in. There's plenty of supplies stored there, though I haven't taken inventory yet."

Everyone couldn't help but think, if it were themselves, how could they not be grateful to the Yellow Turbans?

Not far off, Yang Zhao stepped down from the carriage, followed closely by Empress Xiao. Yang Su also descended shakily, supported by his son Yang Xuangan, and went forward to pay respects to Yang Guang.

As soon as he entered, seeing Chopper Lins seated in the center of the hall, Lu Qi felt a ripple within, though none of it showed on his face.

Qin Shubao naturally noticed the look of admiration and respect from the young man. When Mu Li practiced martial arts, Qin Shubao stepped forward naturally to guide and correct him—far more skillfully than Wang Shao or Yang Hao had ever been.

Now, if they were to nominate someone else, they simply couldn't put forth a candidate who would satisfy all the factions.

A streak of arrow light shot through the sky like a brilliant rainbow, successfully breaking Ye Kong's chain of attacks.

A figure stepped upon thunderclouds, revealing only a dragon-like head, and spat out a mountain-sized seal, which was immediately cleaved in two by a giant axe.

Zhang Yu glanced at Yang Tianming, turned his palm, and a finely wrought longsword appeared in his hand.

This kind of equipment was useless for Ye Kong and the two girls, but other players needed it desperately. After all, it was a complete set of silver-grade gear, sure to fetch a sky-high price on the market. A single bronze set these days—just the worst three-piece kind—could sell for over a dozen gold coins, let alone a silver set.

Within the spatial tunnel, Lu Qi had already finished forming his fireball, and the moment he appeared above Penglai Manor, he launched it directly at the demon general Tianzhen.

At last, amid Liu Yisi Shubert's repeated scoldings, the moment for the match finally arrived for Ma Youcai.

"Just look at all this..." Wei Qiansheng handed the application forms over to Ai Yu.

Every move Bai Yingdong made was naturally observed by Nangong Qing. As an old hand in the Southern Alliance, Nangong Qing had long since figured out the true reason for his presence.

After Li Qingyuan and the others returned to the city lord's mansion, they waited anxiously for news from outside the city. Fortunately, in no time, four senior transcenders returned from the sky.
