Volume One, Chapter 114: Su Manyin Confesses to Feng Yizhou

After the design competition ended, the venue instantly erupted with excitement. Spectators surged toward the center of the arena, while photographers’ flashes flickered one after another, capturing this exhilarating moment. Feng Yizhou and Yi Ze, as the key figures of the competition, naturally became the focus of everyone’s attention.

After the interviews concluded, Feng Yizhou hurriedly bid farewell to the reporters and returned straight to the company. The moment he stepped into his office, his expression darkened. He summoned Su Manyin to his room. Upon receiving the summons, Su Manyin felt a surge of unease. She cautiously entered Feng Yizhou’s office, seeing him standing by the window with his back to her, his face unreadable.

Of course, it wasn’t only Gao Shun who had methods to deal with the heavenly thunder; the other three armies also displayed their unique skills, each showing their prowess like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. Gu Haiyuan ceased his melody, settled into a lotus position, and began circulating the Blood Spirit power to absorb the death energy of the secret realm, pushing himself toward the mid-stage Nascent Soul.

Was it really too much to ask to just learn some martial arts and enjoy the thrill of flying for a while? She tried hard to avoid meeting Lou Cuiling’s gaze and shifted her seat next to Gu Qianning. Just as she was about to sit down, Gu Qianning moved away, leaving an empty space between them.

Her father and elder brother both opposed her marriage to Xiao Mingyu; she had to rely solely on her own efforts to fight for it. Inside the thatched cottage was another world entirely, with mountains and waters, flourishing flowers, trees and bushes—truly a paradise on earth.

She happened upon Yang Pengcheng, and with a grand wave of his hand, Director Yang dragged Zhao Yuzhe along to Qiao Weiming’s office.

Although it was uncertain whether Ji Teng’s forged Sun-Breaker Bow would succeed, the very intention to create it showed he did not obey the current Demon Lord’s orders but sought to establish his own faction. He was not afraid to die, but if his actions brought trouble to the Party and Yu, he felt a measure of shame.

“Pfft!” When Ling Xiang saw Qin Chen in person, she nearly choked on the orange juice she had just swallowed.

Yi Bai nodded slightly, neither denying nor revealing that he could draw the Ancient Annihilation Bow. In the past, the Spirit Essence of Heaven’s Overflow was damaged by this bow, and Yi Bai could never draw it fully again.

After all, every bit of hype—or rather, every bit of stirring the pot—could generally be sustained.

The Eastern State troops were unreliable against Jin Jue, so Liu Zhang might as well recruit fifty or sixty thousand Shu soldiers right in Chengdu. The sheer numbers alone could overwhelm Jin Jue.

Cui Yi did not insist. After exchanging phone numbers, he escorted Chen Xiuyuan and the others to the door and watched them board their vehicle.

Following Wang Lin’s gesture, they looked upward to see behind Yi Bai a magnificent dragon formed from a mixture of blue and black true qi. The fusion leaned toward black, so it was aptly called the Black Dragon.

Faced with rivers of blood and corpses strewn across the ground, Qin Zhong felt waves of nausea.

Turner’s sudden drive caught DeRozan off guard. Though his defense had improved, when confronted with such experienced and anticipatory breakthroughs, he was helpless.

Barria’s entire story was like a perfect script from an American inspirational movie: standing 180 centimeters tall, mediocre at three-pointers and playmaking, yet now about to enter the finals.

Wu Meng felt a bit embarrassed under his gaze, as if she hadn’t eaten much meat these past few days.

“Smack!” A heavy slap landed on Lu Xuehua’s face, sending a burning pain across the entire left side.

For nearly two years, she had hardly rested, toiling day after day, and now even his wife had come to such a state.

“Uh, Second Grandfather, does this mean the Qi family has already hidden Qi Yan away?” Returning to the main topic, Xiao Yu asked curiously.

“All right, can you tell me what’s going on now?” Han Shuier broke the silence inside the car.

At this moment, they needed to become stronger; only by strengthening themselves could they stand firm here forever. Otherwise, these people could displace them at any time and threaten their lives.

Xu Yang didn’t know how the emperor Zhao Yun learned of his plan to visit his hometown in Tan Township after leaving the capital, nor how his journey to Yuzhou became known. After so many years by Zhao Yun’s side, Xu Yang knew the emperor’s suspicious nature meant he was likely doomed this time.

Negotiations with the World Bank made a breakthrough, and the Tianshui City government began preparations to travel to the World Bank headquarters in Washington, D.C., to sign a formal loan agreement.

Xu Feiqiong said: “The internet is like a long river—a river that exists between us but not in reality. I am on this side, sir on the other—merely a form of watching over each other, filled with hope and dreamlike expectation. When the dream ends, we realize nothing remains.”

Listening to Zuo Panyu’s analysis, Liu Huo felt something was missing and shook his head repeatedly before asking again about Zhuque.

Hundreds of citizens had already surrounded the government office, holding baskets containing rotten vegetable leaves or eggs.

Yin Ti looked at the plate of white jade cake, which was no different from what he usually ate, and felt somewhat relieved. Perhaps he had indeed overthought it; maybe today the prime minister Wanwan’s heart was broad enough to not care about this matter.

Thinking of this, Hongqing’s mood improved considerably. He reached forward, grabbed a chopstickful of braised pork, happily placed it in his bowl, and began to eat seriously.

Jin Yue steadied herself; knowing Fu Jiuqing’s illness was recurring, she didn’t want to exhaust his spirit and obediently nodded.

I packed my portion of duck meat for Xiang Xiang. A month later, Chen Xiangxiang swore she never wanted to eat duck again in her life.

Entering the cave, Zhang Yang looked around. The cavern was vast, covering over ten thousand square meters, with the highest point featuring a stone chair—presumably the seat of the snake tribe’s chieftain.

As one of the two great families of Linhai City, the Dongfang family’s coming-of-age ceremony naturally attracted attention from the Tianhan Empire and various factions.
