Chapter 109: Envy, If You're Envious, Go Write

Standing before the hospital room door for a moment, she closed her eyes gently, forcing herself not to think about what had happened that afternoon. After composing herself, she slowly placed her hand on the handle, but just as she was about to pull it down, the door swung open on its own.

It was not that Leng Dianchen had an overactive imagination; rather, it was a genuine coincidence. If it had been the first time she fainted, perhaps it could be called a coincidence, but today? This was the second time; could it still be considered a coincidence?

The fragmented murmurs of conversation faded in the hallway outside. Chen Sha walked over and tossed a cigarette to Dongfang Xu, who was sitting quietly nearby.

"But the key points in this material were all covered during the time you were absent from class..." Professor Yuan blurted out in his agitation.

There were soft footsteps behind her. She paid them no mind, assuming it was just a passing waiter. That was until a hand reached out from behind and tapped her on the shoulder.

Heh. Ye Qingcheng sneered inwardly. Ye Wucheng was constantly trying to provoke her. Could she not see that the current Princess of Luocheng was no longer the type to lose her temper over a few mere words?

Throughout the year 2018, I made many investments and business deals, and lent out a great deal of money. For various reasons, none of it was recovered. This caused me great distress and put my family through immense suffering. The poor state of the economy over these past two years is truly no exaggeration.

Su Nan stopped replying to Sakata Gintoki’s messages, wearing an expression of pure resentment, which stood in stark contrast to the nervous look on the face of Bai Nuohang beside him.

With the help of Xiao Chen, Ye Zi, Li Tianrui, and the others, Mo Lei steadied himself, and together they pulled the two of them up.

The momentum of the Golden Dragon descended like a deity, charging straight at the flag-bearer of the Tongtian Alliance. The long sword, which had previously been as sharp and fierce as silver lightning, shattered into glittering shards of light the moment it collided with the Golden Dragon. The divine aura, like the descent of a true dragon, faintly suppressed the internal energy of everyone present, except for Luo Yu.

Li Wei let out a cold snort and slapped him to the ground. His glasses shattered, his nasal bone snapped, and his chin was torn open—his handsome face was ruined just like that.

Due to the impact of this war, the Qing court established a province in Taiwan, appointing Liu Mingchuan as governor to vigorously promote modern defense and new policies, while actively building the Beiyang Fleet.

On one hand, they were celebrating the emergence of such a brilliant youth within the Luo family; on the other, they were celebrating the fact that the Luo family had finally shaken off the harassment of General Lieyang. Of course, most importantly, they had been dormant for months and truly wanted a chance to relax.

For Xu Mo, if he could not find an entrance in front of the iron gate, he would not go looking for one, even if there were secret passages in the valley, until he was fully prepared to handle the dangers within. Besides, he didn't have that kind of time right now.

Even for a mage, flying over was extremely difficult. The highest mountains in the center of the range had thin air and frigid climates; a mage had to reach a great altitude to cross them. If one’s level was insufficient or their strength lacking, they would easily collapse halfway due to oxygen deprivation.

At this point, he knew the chances of escaping with his life were slim. Moreover, the biting cold and the agonizing soreness from overexertion made every inch of climbing more painful than death itself. Yet, he remained calm, carefully selecting handholds and rationing his strength as he continued to climb.

She gave a bitter laugh, clutching the doctor’s sleeve tightly and looking at him imploringly. This was her last chance; she prayed he would not stop.

"Keep an eye on the city gate. If anyone comes out, hit them with magic. We’ll push our way in from the outside, step by step." As Luo Jie spoke, he charged toward the leader, who was currently directing soldiers to load the looted grain.

As he pondered, Fan Li suddenly remembered that his fourth younger brother, Fan Ming, had already begun recruiting and training troops back in their hometown.

A chilling, iron-blooded aura of the Dao suddenly appeared, blocking the two competing, aggressive auras and forcing them apart.

Gongyang Wanyi walked down and saw a massive cellar, the center of which had been hollowed out. Standing inside were hundreds of pitch-black figures, all standing perfectly still.

So, Fan Li had officially entered the capital as an official, joining the Hanlin Academy. With the backing and patronage of Mu Shangzhi, would his career path be smooth sailing from here on out?

Speaking of which, Han Tian hadn't contributed anything, yet He Qing and Zhao Ze still insisted on splitting the money with him. He felt a bit embarrassed to even accept it.

Master Meng felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over his head. The strange knowledge and movements that had been racing through his mind just moments ago now vanished like smoke.

His shout was quite loud; aside from the onlookers, the group chasing Zhou Xingxing, as well as Zhou Xingxing himself, heard it clearly.

Mu Fei named this price partly because he didn't want to take the job; outside of ordinary people, no one in their line of work wanted to traverse the underworld to the netherworld.

Although this galaxy was on the verge of extinction, tens of billions of stars and trillions of planets were still in motion at its center.

As soon as Lu Chenxing finished speaking, the heart-shaped mark on his forehead erupted with a powerful force that merged into his body, elevating his cultivation level and causing his aura to surge once more.

The blue notebook was valuable, but it was a hot potato. Whoever possessed it would become the common enemy of the entire underworld of Shandong Province.

Did he really take her for an idiot? How could she not know what he was holding? It was a condom. She had checked it carefully in the living room earlier and had felt nauseated for a long time, yet here was Han Jinfeng, acting as if nothing were wrong, holding it in his hand as if showing it off to her.
