Don’t try to match up with Brother Jin,” she joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Arnold had decided to accept Dimension Entertainment’s terms, the price was still too high; if possible, he still hoped to negotiate and lower the marketing budget and agency fee as much as he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All those people wore black hooded cloaks, all male, and from their appearances, they seemed to come from the same place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is our common hemostatic herb—it also has anti-inflammatory properties and effectively prevents wound infection,” Ji Yuxi said, already pulling the needed herb from her basket as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingcheng was not surprised; Huo Yunfeng, as commander of an army, naturally understood troop deployment. Since ancient times, the realm’s fate has always been division after long unity, unity after long division—someday, the world would be reunified, and great war was inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xiu’s face turned pale; he opened his mouth to speak, but Rong Yu suddenly gripped his throat, cutting off any chance to reply: “I’m in a bad mood today. I don’t want to hear your nonsense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, I remembered our first meeting—it too had been in this maple forest—but there had been no heroic rescue, no tender romance, no stirring emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ziyang vaguely sensed something had happened; he frowned at Tang Zinuo, watching his younger brother’s rare display of talent—his usual laziness and indifference vanished. After a moment’s thought, Tang Ziyang turned and left the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Lianyi lifted the veil before her face and saw Yan Fu, who held her hand—her cheeks flushed with rouge, clearly reapplied, yet faint traces of tears still lingered beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not worried—he had watched the prince grow, step by step, to where he stood today. He knew well how resilient his nature was, and how he chose the best path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very few people visit a friend’s home before six a.m., not even relatives—though those who stay out all night partying and return home are an exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She studied him carefully, then glanced at Tang Xihan adjusting his cuffs, and smiled inwardly—her future married life would surely be difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Chu said nothing; her brow furrowed. Was her illness truly that strange?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately gripped He Laoda’s hand, which had just loosened, and opened her spiritual sense to scan his aura and facial features; that earlier sensation had receded like a tide—she sensed nothing, as if the discomfort from seconds ago had been an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Rong and the tattooed man were now fighting a C-rank green gorilla; both were covered in dirt and blood, and I could see fresh wounds bleeding on them—as if their previous injuries had never healed.\u003C\u002Fp>",674,"2026-06-19T13:13:01.402Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2be029647b55ef03b18c2edaaf8819e28063c0e1ae2ff92e1f8f9a658d72de9d","a-player-beyond-dimensions-chapter-78","a-player-beyond-dimensions-chapter-76",195,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-player-beyond-dimensions-cover.jpg"]
