Chapter 35: Shamelessly Speaking Such Words in Public

"No, no, I never did such a thing," Duan Lele denied hurriedly. "Zhisheng, believe me, I didn't do it."

Her heart hammered in her chest. How could Zhisheng have found out about something so well-hidden?

Yu Zhisheng had no interest in wasting words with her. He turned to the staff members. "Please take her away. Do not let her disrupt the filming, and ensure the children are not frightened."

Yu Danxue and the other three children stood behind him.

"What are you thinking about?" Avril looked at Lomis, who was curled up on the sofa, lost in a quiet daze. His eyes were so vacant, so lost—what exactly was weighing on his mind?

At this moment, Murong Lian did not even realize that, unconsciously, this belief had been branded onto her heart.

Yang Chuan had long prepared himself for the possibility of not winning the award, as he knew deep down that the character of Bao Shihong was not particularly prominent in the film.

Only after getting closer did he realize the silhouette looked familiar. Seeing her suddenly take a few steps forward, Nan Kang felt a jolt of alarm. Casting aside everything else, he lunged forward and pulled her back, narrowly avoiding the gaping, bloodthirsty maw before her.

"Why are you..." Ning Mo’s face flushed with embarrassment. Lucy had coughed just then; she couldn't have seen her locking eyes with Lomis, could she?

Perhaps fearing that Ning Mo might catch a chill, Lomis supported her legs with his left hand and her neck with his right, gently lifting her into his arms.

"Why are you so agitated! Keep doing your push-ups and listen to what I have to say. It’s been so long, and you’re still like this. I’ve told you before: stay calm in all things and don’t wear your heart on your sleeve," Cang Ying roared at Zhao Long.

Blood is the best fermentation agent. Murong Zhaoyun nodded in approval, though she mourned the fact that such skill would perish at this very moment. Bailey, however, had gained a deeper perspective on Murong Zhaoyun.

It wasn't that she was stingy with a bit of blood, but she was genuinely afraid of pain. The thought of having to cut her own skin to draw blood made her feel the sting just by imagining it.

Han Moyou’s eyes widened, as if she had finally discovered a truth buried by time that she had misunderstood for so long. Now that the misunderstanding was cleared, the people from those days had left her one by one, leaving behind only a landscape of misery and regret.

Zhao Dongqing had no complaints about this, as he could feel a wisp of spiritual energy constantly protecting him, and he had clearly noticed his cultivation speed increasing during this period.

Lan Xi could not stop her tears. She stepped forward and pulled her directly into her arms, holding her tightly.

In the corner, Gu Qingdai, who had been gnawing on duck wings with Jing Bai, suddenly stood up and dashed toward the door.

Ruoshuo was not worried about how to get back. Although the bamboo forest was vast, as long as one followed a single direction, one would eventually find a way out.

She shook her head, feeling quite troubled, but then she remembered something. A smile touched her lips as she looked up at Lisha.

He didn't say it aloud, but Qiu Ruoruo had heard it—truly, every word had been hammered into her heart, and her heart was bleeding profusely.

The sky was just beginning to brighten. When Mu Shuang woke up, she realized she had fallen asleep beside the tombstone. She hurried to stand up and discovered a black, gold-trimmed outer garment draped over her.

The entire Kongming Island was terrifyingly quiet at this moment. All personnel left behind by the various top factions had been slaughtered by Lihan.

She had thought that, aside from the eldest brother, she would have to search for the others, but she hadn't expected that despite countless cycles of reincarnation, they were still a family.

Guo Jia and Zhou Yu felt relieved upon seeing Xiao Yi’s condition. Originally, upon hearing of Xiao Yi’s situation, Pan Feng, Gao Shun, Zhang He, Qu Yi, and others had all intended to visit, but they were stopped by Xi Zhicai. Yanmen was in a state of flux and required everyone to do their part; Guo Jia and Zhou Yu’s visit was sufficient, and all other matters could wait for another time.

"Top performer? Let me state this clearly: all the ladies in our brothel sell their talents, not their bodies," Yin Le said.
