I am losing my mind.

I am completely at my wit's end!

During the national civilized city inspection, I am stuck in various neighborhood committees every day acting as a resident to make up numbers for questionnaires. At the same time, I have to prepare endless report documents, pull weeds, and clear out trash by the roadside—they have me doing every chore imaginable. By the time I get home at night, I am as exhausted as a dead dog, and I literally cannot type a single word.

This salary is a murderer of inspiration; right now, I can't even guarantee a weekly update. I seriously feel like just abandoning the book.

While standing there in a slight daze, he suddenly saw a wisp detach from the flame-transformed humanoid figure and charge straight toward Gao Sheng.

"Haha! That is such a vivid description! If I had a good father like that, would I need to break my back studying and working this hard for exams?" Mr. Liang said.

"Madam, please don't worry! Didn't the imperial physician say there is no danger to his life? Besides, Lord Yin is blessed with great fortune; he will be fine," Ning Jumen comforted.

Liang Xinhui led them into the inner hall. The front hall, as it turned out, was designated for welcoming guests. The upper level of the middle hall served as premium guest rooms, while the lower level was a place for rest. The inner hall was a space for entertainment: drinking tea, chatting, making friends, and listening to music.

Or perhaps these two fellows were simply startled by his "shameless" drive. If that were truly the case, they would be far too lacking in worldly experience.

If that fellow Zhuo Wei refused to publish any scandalous poetry, it wouldn't matter either. Xu Yonghua could simply post on the news headlines in the guise of an insider, claiming that Zhuo Wei had once again captured hard, concrete evidence of a certain celebrity cheating.

"Back then, Brother Chun's academic performance was also top-notch, just like this thriving park, but everything has changed now. Sister, on the other hand, is still single," Lin Chu blurted out thoughtlessly. The moment he finished speaking, he instinctively executed a dodge maneuver, and sure enough, a slender, beautiful leg came flying through the air.

It wasn't until they cleared the north gate of Changfan City and the shadow-rank powerhouse gave the order that the group finally urged their battle steeds into a gallop.

"What you say makes a certain amount of sense, but I believe the money, power, oppression, helplessness, and mere compromise mixed into this 'five-flavor bottle of marriage' ought to be completely transformed. Of course, as you said, this transformation requires a process of guidance and edification," the White Golden Crow said.

After Situ Jun teleported away, Chen Fei stepped onto the teleportation array and told the guard he wanted to be sent to Hidden Dragon Village. This time, the guard didn't even collect a fee and directly helped Chen Fei execute the teleportation.

"Chuckle~ What is wrong with you? I already told you I am not Chen Ying, so why do you keep calling me that the moment we meet? Could it be you won't be satisfied unless you actually force me to change my name to Chen Ying?" Chen Yinyin said with a smile.

Although the subsequent competition for the remaining six rankings was equally fierce, it was still dominated by those in the top ten of the academy. The latecomers only included Ren Yao and a ninth-stage primordial power nascent awakener named Liang Tian, with Ren Yao taking ninth place and the latter tenth.

The fox couldn't help but admire Chen Haoran's bewitching power. The moment his voice fell, thunderous roars erupted across the lawn once again: "Seven paths! Seven paths!"

Turning to look at Hualing's side, her nine black suns possessed not a shred of temperature, yet they emanated a scalp-tingling, scorching heat.

Despite the fact that Ye Qinghua on the stage was currently weaving and moving like an elven spirit, dealing with numerous opponents with effortless ease, her expression remained entirely unchanged. She maintained her usual aloof and unapproachable attitude.

If you dare to run over and humiliate me, I dare to slap you across the face. That was Bradley's temperament: if you are a friend, I will warmly entertain you with a smiling face; but if you come looking for trouble, then I'm sorry—if you dare curse at me once, I dare to slap your face.

The winding convoy advanced slowly along the official road. Aside from the dozen or so carriages at the very front loaded with tribute supplies, the ones following closely behind were merchants from Dali.

"Captain, are we really just going to play guerrilla warfare around the city edge like this and not charge inside?" A member of the Fourth Squad complained to Scarface once again, wearing an unsatisfied expression.
