Like I said, just treat it as losing ten thousand yuan!” Prince Ren sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, the man behind the screen revealed his face: pale, translucent skin, faint eyebrows, expression indifferent—it was Jiang Xianxu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That afternoon, Chen Mengmeng witnessed Wenren Chu’s insight and eloquence. With his help, the other three returned fully loaded, spending half what they’d originally budgeted. Even more astonishingly, Wenren Chu also sold over a dozen items from his own stock to the traders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Yao Yue arrived at the Divine Beast Island, he was too late—Li Chunqiu of the Zi Jin Sect had already seized most of the Dragon Crystals. So after acquiring one Dragon Crystal, Yao Yue clashed fiercely with Li Chunqiu—hence the loud explosion Mu the Young Master heard upon arriving at the City of Sin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, all the veteran workers at the factory know his wife is pregnant, so they go out of their way to accommodate his frequent early departures and leave requests. After all, he’s a long-time employee and a senior technician; everyone’s willing to give him some leeway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whatever the reason, it doesn’t matter—once Manager Wang’s authority is gradually stripped away, he becomes a useless pawn to the Xiao family of Jingcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single step, he leapt across dozens of zhang. With a thunderous crash, the arena blazed with light. Then both men stepped back one pace. After one strike, Zhang Fan exited the Dao-Union state; the ethereal, lofty demeanor vanished, replaced by surprise, confusion, and a host of other expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hai Ge and Gu Rang only then realized what had happened. Watching Su Huai return to the team, they felt their hearts tremble—they suddenly realized this young colleague was utterly inscrutable, far beyond their comprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Tianye and the Green Forest Base group had been waiting outside the high-rise office building of Tianxuan Base, hoping to report the abnormal behavior of mutated animals, but the gate guards, a full squad stationed outside, refused to relay their message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Children!” Yuan Haochen’s expression turned solemn, his tone heavy with the gravity of an elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His clothes were torn to shreds; even his fitted inner armor was ruined beyond repair. The hair and eyebrows that had just begun to regrow had once again turned to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughing and counting money and merits along the way, Xu Honggang suddenly reined in his horse, his face ashen as he stared at several headless corpses lying on the flat ground ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wei specifically had Beidou investigate and found genuine oddities: some scientists involved in the experiment reported their mental states were unusually sharp—whenever they hit obstacles, inspiration would immediately follow, giving them a sense of effortless flow.\u003C\u002Fp>",644,"2026-06-19T18:47:42.084Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","189b63589d1af93753707a21ee2ef4b45357ebf78fcc8283d65eda539ce5bce4","there-is-a-malevolent-spirit-chapter-183","there-is-a-malevolent-spirit-chapter-181",209,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthere-is-a-malevolent-spirit-cover.jpg"]
