Chapter 103: You Should Put on Some Clothes
Then Su Qingli, under everyone’s gaze, stripped off her makeup completely again.
The people around her looked stunned, utterly speechless at such a stunt.
“Jing, manager, really? You took it off so fast! I hadn’t even fully seen it, and you were already done!”
“Manager! It’s so beautiful—do it again!”
Hearing that they were from the District Bureau, Zheng Sifang became increasingly certain this was possible, and so instead of opening the door he immediately thought of slipping out through the back door.
Though he was also a partner, he had joined late, and even his stake after becoming a partner had been diluted by Yang Ming through fake partners and similar methods.
After the large bundle of money that had just been handed from Yang Ming to Ye Zihao, then seized by them and given back to Yang Ming, Li Song and the others stood waiting eagerly for the distribution of shares.
While Shi Jiaming and Xie Yihang were still dumbfounded by Ouyang Ying’s elegant, striking attack, Ouyang Ying and Hong Linya had already moved forward, parting the grass to see which creature had been wounded.
Flakes of snow, each in a different shape, drifted down and settled on the palace eaves, slowly covering the roof that had once been yellow-black.

That night, Chu Xiu could not sleep peacefully at all; she dreamed all night long. At one moment it was Shen Yu’s deep confession, then it turned into Yun Xiangrong’s harsh rebuke, and worse still the gilt characters on the Chastity Archway became the words “Prostitute Archway,” something truly terrifying.
The Jade Emperor himself had only just reached the realm of a Great Da Luo Golden Immortal. To crush every Great Da Luo Golden Immortal in Heaven using only that realm was utterly unrealistic.
“Defeat me, and you may watch from the bamboo grove. This rank in the standings—perhaps I should also step down and make room for someone more deserving.” Chen Tianjiao said, with a trace of melancholy in his expression.

Yuhuan is a county-level city, one hundred kilometers from Nanhua. To the east it borders the East Sea; to the south it borders Dongtouyang and connects with Dongtou District of Wenzhou City.
