Chapter 29: The Proposal
“Look over there, isn’t that Deputy Director Yue from Wealthy Hospital?”
“That’s right, so young and already occupying the position of deputy director—he truly is accomplished for his age!”
“Look at the wedding dress in his hand, it’s absolutely stunning. That must cost hundreds of thousands. I heard Dr. Yue is involved with the Su family’s second daughter…”
At that moment, with about four minutes remaining, an eight-point lead did nothing to calm him. He tried hard to maintain his usual composure, but found it impossible. His heart felt as if it was pounding in his throat.
The red wax soldier seized by Ye Long suddenly transformed into a streak of red light, which was absorbed by the inheritance.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lin Na sitting on the living room sofa, expressionless, clearly in a poor mood.
Of course, even if he could escape, Fang Yuan would never act like a frightened bird, nor would he fear anyone. Besides, the Immortal Academy was not far from here; even if he faced a fatal blow, survival was not out of the question.
In the past, the demon realm could easily eliminate these cultivators, intimidating the entire cultivation world by forcing humanity to pay a heavy price for Pyrrhic victories.
She did not doubt the information she had gathered, yet her heart was still filled with confusion.
Even if Fang Yuan had eight arms and had reached the Path of the Sect, he could not eliminate them all in a short time.
“I understand, you must be Mr. Chen Zihua…” Luan Qinglin smiled knowingly, as if everything were clear to him.
In the livestream room, those watching with excitement and continuously flooding the screen with comments had begun to fall silent.
Li Gengxin stomped his right leg on the floor, cracking the tiles into a spiderweb of fractures. The pieces broke apart and floated in the air. With a sweeping kick, the stones shot out like bullets, striking everyone present on the first floor—including the guards at the entrance—and sending all the police officers flying.
What the other party said did leave Chu Wangshu somewhat unsettled. Their investigation was thorough enough to uncover events from years ago. The power of the state truly was immense. Still, there were a few things they hadn’t discovered; otherwise, he would have feared they might even dig up that embarrassing incident from when he wet the bed at age three.
The surveillance camera must have been installed in the corner of that room, capturing everything inside in detail.
The police officer’s attitude was decent; he didn’t throw him out for looking like a beggar, but instead adopted a businesslike manner, asking him to stop.
Meanwhile, the cultivators from Blood Mountain, Mysterious Lake, and Peach Forest were rushing to the scene. At this moment, the three regions were nearly emptied of their practitioners.
Chu Wangshu felt embarrassed under the other’s gaze and quickly changed the subject to hide his shifting emotions.
The other soldiers continued their patrol, while the one who seemed to be their captain led them further inside.
Although Jin Yilin’s situation was more complicated—she remained in a deep coma with no sign of waking—no one could say what her physical condition truly was. At least for now, there was no hope of her regaining consciousness.
Outside, they were celebrities in Magic City—either real estate tycoons, internet giants, or leaders in the entertainment industry.
Taking advantage of its momentary agitation and lack of response, Xia Jiu swiftly cast a spell that broke through its defenses and struck the Electric Eel Demon King’s body.
Compared to the rules, the Nether Clan surpassed even the Demon Clan; they could climb atop the bones of their fallen comrades, constantly devouring their own kind’s power and advancing at a rapid pace.
In the Kui Family’s grand hall, all the stewards gathered to discuss business. Naturally, the topic was this matter—not yet underway, but the Kui Family still held some influence in Le Lang Dao, with plenty of informants among them.
