Chapter 135: All Hearts Are Equally Tainted

No one dared to speak, yet the consequences of staying silent would be even more severe.

"Di, President Di, perhaps... would you like to speak?"

Di Yunshen didn't even glance at them. "I fear the price I would demand is one you cannot afford to pay."

Indeed, even if the media present today were the titans of the industry, compared to...

Regardless of how many tricks were played between the sheets or how tender and passionate the intimacy, one could simply pull up their trousers and leave afterward without any fear of being found out.

Before the "Magic Circle" system, mages had to first construct spell structures in their minds, infuse them with mana, and finally release them through various methods such as incantations, rituals, gestures, or artifacts.

Before their eyes, countless fish swam back and forth. Most were ordinary demonic beasts, with only a few second or third-tier aquatic beasts among them, which were exceptionally rare.

The day was clear and cloudless. The sun shone directly down onto Lin Rui's recovered, rosy face as he slowly walked out of the hospital, surrounded by burly men in black suits for protection, with Tong Qing leading the way. Today was the day he would leave Qiancheng.

After selecting a good plot at the Fenghuang Mountain Cemetery to bury Uncle Zheng, Lin Rui and Zheng Wanxue had dinner with Zheng Daxi before driving back to Qiancheng.

"If only Mom were here for Sister Liu Bing's concert," Tian Yan'er beamed, unable to contain her joy.

Crown Prince Li Hong's health was not particularly robust, though it was passable. After two glasses of wine, he began to feel dazed. He stopped eating his roasted lamb and slumped against the backrest, drowsy and listless, as if he wanted nothing more than to sleep.

Even so, the members of the two adventure parties did not deliver lethal blows, stopping at causing nothing more than severe injuries.

He spoke as he flew toward me, striking out with a palm; even with the Heavenly Spirit Armor protecting me, I couldn't just keep getting knocked around! That would be too humiliating.

This bead was completely unfamiliar to A-Jun, but to Long Jianfei, it was anything but.

Having said this, Mo Ran unhooked the wine flask from his waist and spoke to the empty, red-glowing cliff, a faint, smiling arc playing across his lips as he wore an expression of contentment.

"Write down the home address," Xue Jianguo said without hesitation. In truth, even if Xue Ling hadn't brought it up, he had intended to have her change the address.
