Volume One, Chapter 57: Getting the Marriage Certificate and Divorce Certificate Together!

“Good, as long as you recognize your mistake.” Feng Yizhou gave a slight nod, his voice low and gentle, carrying a hint of indulgence so subtle it was nearly imperceptible.

The deafening noise penetrated the windows of the five-star hotel suite. Chen Hao drew back the curtains and saw several helicopters descending from the sky.

“Tsk tsk, this place must cost a fortune,” Li Daniu smacked his lips, his face brimming with envy.

The middle-aged man reached into a long case and drew out a slender blade resembling a samurai sword. He took it casually in hand, supported it at his side, and walked toward the woods.

“This is what I’ve gained: I now know what lies beyond the rank of Emperor and Saint, and after reaching the peak of Saint, I finally understand which path to pursue!” Xiao Yan declared.

Duyuan gathered his true energy to his fingertip and lightly tapped Elder Lingyin’s robe, undoing her acupoints in an instant.

Though Li Tuzi was loyal, he was no fool, and he had a temper. To be left hanging like this—let alone Long Tian—even he could barely endure it. What unsettled him most was that the man he had always admired, Long Tian, could sit there so calmly.

The heavy machine gun mounted on the enemy tank roared wildly, showering bullets in a dense torrent. The four demolition brothers charging down the slope were pinned halfway up the hill, unable to advance even a step.

The City of Scarlet Flame remained as prosperous as ever. By now, it had become the strongest symbol of the Divine Ruins, and those remnants of humanity whom Chen Feng had brought back long before had already assimilated into this city, making it their home.

Meadows, forests, hills, streams, scattered rocks and muddy ground—if the fleeting meteor and flying stone before his eyes sped off into the distance, what remained in their wake were deep footprints pressed half a foot into the earth, startled birds and beasts fleeing in terror, grasses and trees swaying, stones tumbling, and mud splattering.

Within Dawn City, before a vacant space surrounded by a crowd, Xiao Yan and his companions stood upright. At this very moment, beside Xiao Yan, a handsome youth in white robes watched those before him with a gentle smile. Yet Xiao Yan himself gazed back at the smiling youth in utter disbelief.

Shen Xueru rose and slowly walked to the side of the zither. She glanced at it, then sat with grace, gently plucking a few strings. The delicate, ethereal notes floated out, and Shen Xueru smiled softly. Only then did she look back at the seat, her fingers gathering and releasing in a slow, elegant movement.

Chu Yu frowned faintly; she was all too familiar with this kind of frivolous approach. Since her student days, teachers, directors, and wealthy businessmen had tried to get close to her in the same way. At first, her innocence made her fall for it easily, but over time she saw through the pattern and ignored them all.

Fang Xiaoqiao’s face was full of grievance. If it weren’t for the broken roof of your old house that made me suddenly step into thin air, would I have had such rotten luck and fallen down?

“Master Bai, a few slices of mushroom aren’t going to fill anyone up, are they?” Wen Ruoxian didn’t bother to be polite and lobbed the insult directly.

This internet sensation, famous worldwide, was here to attend their company’s shareholders’ meeting? What possible connection could she have with New Season Group?

All attacks seemed to pour in after Sima Yuan’s waning influence, leaving him scrambling and overwhelmed, unable to cope.

Li Tai’s eyes widened. Since Master had already provided a way to verify it, then everything Master said must be true.

With a clatter, the gold ornament slipped from Gan Peilin’s hand and fell to the floor. So Grandmother had a mistress after all—and it happened at least twenty years ago.

No wonder her reaction was so intense. After all, everyone knew that Grand Commandant Jiang was eccentric and that scandalous rumors about him filled the entire capital.
