Chapter 194: 188 New Invitation

Chairman Bai Xiaosheng fulfilled his role.

Song Yufeng hadn't expected the transportation fee to have such a direct impact.

And he hadn't anticipated that all three red envelopes he prepared would pass through without any obstruction.

Hmm…

Song Yufeng recalled how, when he was still a journalist, he had interviewed Yu Xing, who ran Guiai. om, and remembered how effortlessly he had accepted Zhong Zhiling's offerings back then—he felt a sudden pang of shame.

But

Precisely because of this, no matter how serious his cousin's mistakes were, he could never bring himself to punish her.

"Really? They say only the most truthful and virtuous can reach heaven—what about hell? Is it for the most wicked and evil? Actually, Brother, my father said that whether one is the most truthful and virtuous or the most wicked and evil, both are indispensable parts of this chaotic world."

Upon hearing this, Leng Qianqian couldn't help but recall something, her fury barely contained, her slender frame trembling uncontrollably with rage.

Seeing a black cat peering curiously into the room, Gong Chen tore his gaze from the computer and looked down at the cat.

Earlier, he had bombarded the entire mountaintop with the Black Lin Sword—only this corner emitted continuous thunderous roars and ripples; every blade of sword qi that struck this spot was instantly neutralized by some unseen force.

He unleashed another palm strike—the same technique, but with his Foundation Establishment cultivation base and the added depth of his artistic intent, Li Feng felt pressure more than ten times greater than before. Dust and debris flew everywhere; Li Guang and Fatty's houses cracked apart under the force and exploded into shards with a loud crash.

Chen Bin opened his right palm, revealing several ice shards hovering above it, his expression calm as he spoke.

Li Feng gazed at the space before him—it was identical to his own home: familiar faces, familiar neighbors greeting him warmly. He slowly walked to his front door, where his mother watched him with a gentle smile.

A faint " Ca!" echoed—the window on the eighteenth floor of the stone pagoda suddenly flared bright, and a rootless, platformless flame floated out, drifting lazily through the air.

Even if I noticed, what difference would it make? Others' praise and expectations hold no meaning for me whatsoever.

Yu Chan glanced at Ji Qiu, then turned her head to look at the Empress Dowager—yet she could not take a single step forward. She could only watch helplessly as the woman suffered, her laughter making every inch of Yu Chan's body shudder.

"What's wrong?" Dongfang Ji forgot a contract and came home to retrieve it. Upon entering, he saw Yueyue crying.

"I'm a physician—do you think I should let you collapse, then scramble to heal you at the last moment? Even if you've erred and deserve punishment, you must cherish your body, cherish everything your parents have given you." Ye Chenxuan couldn't help but feel resentment at her constant rejection of others—he had never met anyone so careless with her own body.

"Fine. I understand." He turned and left without giving Han Xiaoxuan another chance to speak.

Han Miaomiao instinctively clenched her fists, shook her head slightly, her body pressed against the wall with no escape.

The cost, however, was immense: aside from dying once like destruction, Xu Xiang's current attribute ratio was only about two percent of normal—without the Phoenix rebirth attribute bonus, it would have been just one percent.

Miao Xin was utterly stunned by Yang Yang, so much so that she hadn't even had time to be jealous—now she simply followed Yang Yang's commands: turn left when told, speed up when ordered, even exceeding the speed limit severely without realizing it.

Seeing Ling Yun's deep devotion, Jin Xin could not bring herself to blame him further. All she could blame was fate's cruel whims—they reminded her of her own past, when she, too, had thrown herself into love without hesitation, regardless of how the whole world misunderstood her.

My parents have been gone from me for a long time. I've searched tirelessly, but still have no trace of them. Only after becoming a mother myself did I truly understand how hard it was for them. So now, whenever anything relates to my parents, Xuanxuan accepts it easily.
