Chapter 34: Ascending to the Pinnacle of Life

Aunt Cao was also stunned. "This—"

"Quick, take it back and eat it while it's hot."

Feigning casualness, Sisi Ji added, "If Sister Cao has nothing to do at home, she’s welcome to come and hang out with Auntie."

The liberation of feminist thought was not mere lip service, and Sisi Ji was no saint. She simply hoped, within her means, to help more women.

In her past life, she—

"You're quite interesting," Haruko Kamio laughed nonchalantly, seemingly forgetting entirely that this person had just called her an old lady.

"Master... sorry I didn’t tell you in advance. I’m already at your door. Could you please open it?" Since the Sage returned, he wanted to downplay his importance so that Ye Zhen wouldn’t visit him so often. But now that Ye Zhen was right at his doorstep, the Sage had no choice but to let him in.

Yu Ying obviously didn’t expect Yu Shengming to say that. Looking into Yu Shengming’s sincere eyes, he could tell that Yu Shengming genuinely wanted to make peace.

"I just drove over. Have you arrived? How’s it over there?" Ye Zhen hoped to resolve this matter as peacefully as possible; no fighting and no casualties would be best.

"We won’t fail. We’ll definitely make it back," Leng Xuexin interrupted firmly, resolute.

The old man got so excited he waved his arms and shouted loudly to those nearby. People, unaware of the situation, were drawn over. When they saw it was Ye Zhen, they eagerly came forward for photos and autographs. Ye Zhen wasn’t ready to sign autographs yet—he hadn’t mastered the elegant signatures other stars had—but he didn’t refuse photos.

He sighed: Alas, I don’t smoke and never carry a lighter. Now, with no way to light a fire or illuminate or dry clothes—well, even if I had a lighter, there’s nothing around here to start a fire with.

This place was deeply snow-covered, with layers of white mountains stretching endlessly. It was impossible to see what lay inside. Driving or walking would clearly alert any hidden dangers.

Around eight o’clock in the evening, the New Year’s Eve gala was beginning. Almost everyone from the team was there, including Jiang Tian and Aunt Jiang.

As soon as the words fell, Abe, standing in the corner, stepped forward and opened a black umbrella.

Though the temperature was not low at all, Jiang Guangguang shivered slightly all over. His teeth chattered uncontrollably.

Scanning the shop, I noticed a striking detail: there were only three employees in total, and all were young women, one of whom was quite stunning.

From childhood, Song Yuyan was both adorable and beautiful. Gu Jiujiu looked at the photos, browsing until Song Yuyan was about eleven or twelve years old. She expected to find photos from when he was seventeen or eighteen, but none appeared.

Tang Xuanye’s body trembled. Slowly, he raised his head to meet Shen Tuhailong’s deep gaze, then suddenly lowered it again. He opened his mouth but couldn’t say a word.

I told myself, Lily, you must endure. You love Huo Jidu so much—do you not know how much he gave up for you? If you die, what’s the difference between you and a heartless wolf?

For this, I used every trick I had to seduce him. Early this morning, he finally agreed to ‘test the waters’ at this hotel.

She smugly said, "You don’t suspect me, do you? I’m telling you, I have nothing to do with this." She breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps wondering if her ex-boyfriend hadn’t betrayed her.

"Boom!" Suddenly, at the intersection of their swords and axes, a white power began to spread out in all directions. It continued to radiate outward.

This week, my life was almost entirely consumed by how to get help from Zhao Wulong. But in the end, it concluded perfectly with the defeat of Luo Hu and Ouyang Can.
