Chapter 64: Revealing the Heart

She pressed her hand against the man's chest, subconsciously trying to put some distance between them.

"Don't you think you owe me an explanation? How did getting a job at the Jiang Corporation turn into working at Jiang Qi's house, hmm?"

Gu Fangyu tilted her head, stared at him for a long time, and her pretty face dropped: "Are you stalking me?"

To prevent him from pulling the same stunt again...

Right at that moment, the rumbling sound of horse hooves echoed across the chaotic battlefield. Soldiers familiar with warfare instantly recognized it as the mighty momentum of a charging cavalry. The combatants currently locked in battle looked around in shock and suspicion, eager to figure out which side this troop belonged to.

He performed his duties as a city guard with absolute excellence. Over the past five years, the formidable reputation of the Blood-Drinking Storm had brought much peace to this territory, and not a single "water thief" had ever escaped his punishment alive.

Even though both films cast powerful actors and trending stars such as Deng Chao, Liu Shishi, Liao Fan, and Li Yifeng, the abysmal script adaptation failed entirely to capture the spirit of the original work. In the end, they were mercilessly rejected by the market, scoring a mere 5 and 6 out of 10 on Douban, reflecting the depth of the audience's disappointment.

Under the immense time dilation, it took him only a few minutes to replenish his power, though breaking through to a higher level was unlikely; the Law of Time was far too abstruse to be comprehended simply by accumulating more time.

"Are you settling in comfortably here, Master Xuanku?" Muyan asked as she sat down by the stone table in the courtyard.

With a stiff expression, those Immortal Golden Immortals swallowed back all the words they were about to say.

Lu Lin did not refuse. Instead, she gently bit his thick lips, a burning fire seemingly raging in her eyes.

He sank his waist and threw a punch, transforming it into a massive silver fist that squarely met the strange tiger's paw, halting its charging momentum.

Zhu Youlang sat high upon the dragon throne, taking in every move of the officials below the court. Glancing at Ding Kuichu's gleaming eyes and He Wuqin's cheeks, which were trembling uncontrollably from excessive excitement, he didn't need to guess twice to figure out what was on their minds.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun remained silent, merely nodding slightly to indicate his resolve, and then his figure slowly dissolved into nothingness within the Zixiao Palace.

However, during the solemn and dignified sacrificial rites, the Thebans appeared, claiming that the Spartans had failed to notify them of their actions, and thus forcibly interrupted the ceremony.

"Naval Commander Secrian is fully reorganizing the warships from various leagues, while training alongside the newly formed legions in the new tactics proposed by Lord Davos," Hieronymus replied.

As for those who had once doubted Xiao Yi's strength, they were filled with shame, their faces burning with humiliation.

Just as her voice trailed off, a leopard-like ghost beast lunged out of the deep ancient forest with bared fangs and brandished claws, its sharp paws slashing toward Fairy Ruoyi's neck.

Watching Ling Duwu fly over to greet them, Zhang Hai and Li Nanfeng breathed a sigh of relief. They knew the chances of inviting Ling Duwu to dinner were almost nonexistent. Yet, seeing that Ling Duwu did not hold their previous actions against them, their worries were finally laid to rest.

With that, Lu Buqing left a dazed Lu Xiaosong behind and drove Li Fengqin to the Guanshan Hotel. Lu Buqing planned to call his cousin after dropping her off at the hotel, letting her know she could rest easy as Li Fengqin would be heading back tomorrow morning.

After lunch, Ling Duwu entered the Primordial Chaos Pearl. He refined some essential items, intending to rescue that so-called Lin'er this time and see what kind of treasures he could extort from the Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

Ling Duwu led them deeper into the mountains. They hadn't walked very far before catching a dozen mountain chickens, giving Shi Lei and his son a thrilling taste of the hunt. In truth, mountain chickens were quite easy to catch in the snow, as their vision was blinded by the glaring white reflection of the snow.

The Haotian cauldron shook once more, splitting off another portion of flames into dozens of arm-thick fire streams that violently collided with the seawater.
