Volume One, Chapter 49: Unable to Bear Her Happiness

Xiao Shiyu noticed that Su Tong kept staring in the direction the car had left and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Su Tong withdrew her gaze. “It’s nothing. I just saw someone very special.”
Xiao Shiyu explained, “This accident has caused a huge stir. I heard that someone from higher up has come down to deal with it. Maybe the person you saw was that official.”
Xiao Yan quietly put away his prayer beads, took a silk handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, and gently wiped the blood from her face.
In that moment, all sorrow and hardship seemed insignificant; all the chill winds and cold rains felt like being bathed in the warmth of spring.
As he thought of these things, his facial expression twitched and contorted, his spasmed features resembling a demonic mask.
In the rush, he only had time to roll a few torn pages from the ledger into the bundle, and the exposed corner of paper was still covered by her fingers.
Moreover, as a modern person, Lin En understood all too well the influence of a popular idol. If the Aurora Society could really launch a superstar of the century, perhaps he could truly reverse the image of the real Creator in this era.
The investigators who had survived until now could perfectly wield the power that flesh bestowed. Take Qing Ge, for example—born for combat. With the help of Situ An, he had mastered every fighting technique passed down in the living world. Now, he grappled closely with the ghostly figure, pressing him so hard he could barely breathe.
Even the thirteen War Emperor-level Grand Protectors seated on the judges’ bench, though seething with anger and unwillingness, could only watch in silence.
This season, the Devil Team’s home stadium had another peculiarity: the DJ onsite had started adding his own flair to the events.
In his past life, he had said those words to please her, but now, having become a eunuch, he denied everything.
The head of security had already called everyone in, and a dozen burly bodyguards now stood behind Lin Fan, forming a wall of muscle.
In a few months, they would be moving into the Ning family’s ancestral home, facing not only the seemingly kind old Madam Ning but also all sorts of relatives and in-laws. If the couple didn’t stand united, they would surely be taken advantage of.
The collective withdrawal of the Energy Consortium had already dealt a heavy blow to Treasure Island. The president had originally been condemned, but with news of his suicide, public opinion shifted entirely.
These repairs used mostly timber; if a fire really broke out, Cao Yong wouldn’t need to say a word—he would be dismissed and exiled on the spot.
“These are all top-quality ores. If sent to the market, they’d fetch at least hundreds of thousands of middle-grade spirit stones,” explained Lady Hu as she walked up to Ye Jian.
For some inexplicable reason, it seemed the longer time passed, the more his authority resembled that of the Lord of Time and Space. Yet their personalities were fundamentally different—Li Youran was somewhat lazy, while the Lord of Time and Space was meticulous.
For a tank, the shield is the core piece of defense. Nearly all tank skills revolve around the shield—like the Knight’s Sacred Shield, the Warrior’s Shield Wall, and countless other skills that enhance shield attributes.
Qin Chuan was only too glad to avoid doing things himself, so his mother-in-law’s words brought him much relief.
“I hope Lord Ding will deliver this letter to my old friend!” Mie Zheng took out his personal jade slip, added a message, and asked the recipient to introduce Su Yu and help him search for the Celestial Star Plate.
The two were speechless. They thought Su Yu, hiding in the Lost Realm, would know nothing of the outside world, but he was clearly well informed.

As soon as these words fell, the entire arena fell into utter silence. No one spoke—a chorus of rapid breathing was all that could be heard.
