I somehow overlooked you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly closed in aggressively: \"How did you do it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing knew that his Talent Skill, [Lowering Presence], had once again taken effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn't explain it, nor did he want to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm a living person standing right here,\" Zhou Qing said, unfazed. \"Have you considered that maybe it's not because of me, but because of you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Yan was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharpness in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a hint of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe...\" he murmured, \"My mind has indeed been somewhat off lately, especially with the impending fusion...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing didn't understand what he was referring to but took the opportunity to change the topic: \"Now will you answer my question? What's going on with Nannan? What do you actually want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Sikong Yan suddenly grinned, and there was a streak of madness in his smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stepped forward and said: \"Nannan, she's just like you've seen, right? She's my bargaining chip to have Gao Xuan work for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But she used to be a corpse,\" Sikong Yan straightened up, spreading his arms with a smug look, \"now she's alive.
