Chapter 117: The Persona Collapses

Lu Tingchen straightened his posture, while Lin Yunqiao awkwardly picked up a rose hairpin crafted from gold; this one was a thousand times finer than the one she had owned before.

Between demand and imagination, the River God—or rather, the River of Fantasy—fulfills the player’s own imaginings.

After returning from abroad, her work remained as busy as ever, and she reverted to her usual cold and detached persona as a director.

Consort Xiao Shu revealed a flicker of joy before quickly masking it; it was clear she still harbored reservations about Xia Chuxiao’s background.

Lu Shuimo was left utterly speechless. After downing a few drinks in frustration, he stormed out of the venue.

Fu Wenduo raised an eyebrow, unconcerned about Tang Mo’s situation, and turned back to charge directly at the middle-aged man.

Banxia stared at the test paper on the table, her brow furrowed. She crumpled the paper, not wanting to look at it any longer. She had known the first mock exam wouldn't go well, but seeing the actual score—worse than she had anticipated—left her biting her lip, her body stiff and cold.

She had been longing to see him, especially after learning about that incident; she wanted to hear his thoughts. But now that he was right in front of her, she felt no urgency.

She looked up to see Yang Tianyi’s eyes clear and sharp, showing no signs of having drunk too much. She pinched his cheek, causing his features to scrunch up in pain.

Early the next morning, Tang Mo opened his eyes and walked to the window. He looked up at the Black Tower in the distance, counting the numbers displayed upon it.

Why would Angelina give you so much money? It is only because the Tenth Magic Academy might be needed on the battlefield when the time comes.

If the price were lower by more than ten percent, they would at most demand that Asura lower their prices, rather than resorting to self-production to solve the problem.

The progenitor of the Rahu clan glared at the unmoved Asura, twisted his neck, and as his thick arms swung, they instantly grew in size; he balled his fists and flew forward.

Canjian was stunned by this; he listened intently for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yuyin with an inscrutable gaze. He opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Although Huang Zhong was brave and fierce as a tiger, Liu Pan did not believe that even Huang Zhong could triumph if the Jiangdong army truly possessed such a freak of nature.

The sword energy roared with a deafening boom amidst the howling wind, followed by a flash of white light so blinding that one could not keep their eyes open. Bai Yuzhou squeezed his eyes shut; when he opened them again, he was stunned by the sight before him.

Xiao Yuyin felt a touch of warmth in her heart. She slowly closed her eyes, feeling the warmth and happiness of being held in a pair of hands, and drifted into a deep sleep.

Xiao Yuyin looked up at the full moon hanging high in the sky, feeling a sense of sorrow, though she did not know why she suddenly had the urge to confide in someone.

"Hello, President Ai. I am here to repay the money." She adjusted her glasses, her lips curling into an incredibly crafty arc.

Every place and every region has its own unique characteristics. It was not unusual to encounter such giant tortoises; they were simply a common type of majestic beast.

He Niannian clearly did not buy Meng Fanlang’s act; she showed no pity, and instead reached out to pinch him again.

"Elder, our Chairman wishes to speak with the leaders of your five major sects," Situ Haomai said.

This was hardly surprising. Ever since Qi’er was born, Li’er had doted on her only younger brother. Whenever there was something delicious or fun, she would always give it to him, only taking her share after he had eaten or played to his heart's content.

"You... President, please uphold justice," Zhang Tao turned, looking at his uncle with a fawning expression.

Zong Ming’s body emanated an irresistible scent—not the fragrance of bath gel or the sweetness of shampoo, but a primal, masculine scent wafting from his pores like tangible hormones, making one’s pulse race and making it hard to look away.

His phone suddenly chimed. Li Weis immediately opened it to find a location sent by Zong Ming via Umbra, with instructions to arrive immediately.

Without waiting for Gu Xiaoxiao’s reply, Zhong Yi rushed out of the private room, as if trying to make up for something. Gu Xiaoxiao smiled; she couldn't recall when Zhong Yi had become so impatient. She remembered that back in college, Zhong Yi was the furthest thing from a hot-tempered person.

"So," in the commentary booth, Su Zhou gripped the microphone and stared at the arena, his body leaning forward involuntarily, his smiling eyes reflecting a few bright, starry glints.

Since ancient times, true successors of the Plum Shadow have appeared no more than five times. However, like me, I am the second person to be recognized by Mei Niang.

Later, for various reasons, Sheng Lou grew to hate Huo Linxue, holding her responsible for the death of his parents.

"I wish I could tear this subhuman creature into a thousand pieces!" Yun Ting suppressed her tears, speaking with bitter hatred.

Come to think of it, what was the range of the opponent’s vision? Alan looked at Jerry’s eyes, which were obscured by his hair. Although he was sleepwalking, it was still a form of sleep; logically, his field of vision should be limited, or perhaps even very close.

Mu Feifei broke into a cold sweat. This guy had wiped out almost all of Mu Yuanfan’s men in a single encounter, and they called this "benevolence"? If Sakyamuni really had a spirit, he would certainly lift a hand to bring down the Five Elements Mountain and suppress this bastard forever.

Long Tian shook his head and answered firmly: "We have never crossed paths. I know what brother Fengyun wants to ask, but some facts involve the secrets of Dragon City, and I cannot disclose them. However, someone did ask me to relay a message to you." Seeing the understanding in Xiao Kan Fengyun’s expression, he grew curious about what the message was.

Afterward, Gu Chen gave a few more instructions to the group before leaving for the secret chamber within the City Lord’s mansion.

At this juncture, if he were to let Qi Hai go, who knew what they might do?

"What are you Pallas pigs trying to do? Are you insulting me? I am a knight of Valls; mere humiliation has no effect on me." The cavalryman spoke with a righteous air, but his trembling body betrayed his inner panic.

"Lianyi, it seems I have spoiled you too much, which is why you are acting so recklessly and lawlessly, isn't it?" Tianyi said in a cold voice. He understood that if he didn't assert his authority, she would never understand the meaning of respect.

"What are you doing here?" A man’s voice came from behind. Chen Wei turned and saw Gu Renmin.

Under normal conditions, the side effects of the forbidden card "Eternal Wind" would only leave Lin En stiff for a short while before he could resume movement. However, suffering from arrow wounds, Lin En had underestimated the impact of the forbidden card on his injuries; the wounds that had been in the healing stage were torn open once more when the power of the forbidden card erupted.
