Chapter 36: Can You Not Understand Human Language?
"Shen Jin'an, you've really hit the jackpot. A top-tier, nationally renowned parenting variety show has invited you to participate. Remember to get yourself and that child of yours ready."
Shen Jin'an had just woken up from a nap when she saw this new WeChat message on her phone. She stared at the sender's avatar and profile name for a long time. As her brain slowly shook off the sleep, she finally realized this was the WeChat account of the original owner's unscrupulous agent.
The last time Wang Qi had suddenly contacted her, it was because a video of her playing balloon darts at an amusement park had hit the top of the trending list.
"Sigh... what a waste of time. If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered playing with you." The short, chubby man smoothed his messy hair, his tone reeking of mercenary pettiness.
Getting Fang Na pregnant was a ruthless scheme he had devised. Now that Fang Na's company was gradually getting on track, the boss was worried she might turn against them. After all, she was the one running operations and knew every trick in the book; if she stayed too long and grew too powerful, she wouldn't be so obedient anymore.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. A pleasure to meet you both, fellow disciples. My respects." Since his identity had already been exposed, Ling Muyu decided to simply admit it with grace.
The white fur began to shift, turning yellow, then brown, then black. Its form gradually morphed into the grotesque shape of an ancient tree root; eyes, brows, mouth, and ears vanished, and its limbs twisted into bizarre, ink-colored appendages.
Approaching slowly, the person stopped in front of shop number 22, retracted their umbrella, and gave it a gentle shake to shed the rainwater. As the candlelight from the eaves illuminated her face, her features were finally revealed.
Lin Chang watched Staff Officer Lu’s hesitant expression and patiently explained things, appearing remarkably transparent and sincere. Whether he had any hidden agendas, however, remained unknown.
The door to the room swung open inward, and though many fragments lay scattered at the threshold—their broken edges showing signs of being covered by a mottled substance—it was clear that they had only just fallen recently.
Yan Fei and Qi Jingqian’s assistants, reluctant to give up their high salaries, eventually just transferred to different departments rather than resigning.
Seeing that Jin Teng didn't move, Lin Ping channeled a fierce, blazing sword aura and swept it toward him. The moment the aura made contact with Jin Teng’s body, a faint smile curled at the corners of Lin Ping’s lips.
Zhou Muqian looked at Shen Huiyin’s state and finally understood what she meant by "that."
Years ago, the consciousness he had hidden inside a crystal of divine power was activated by the bishop of a malevolent cult in a remote region.
These were all precious items. Even if he didn't need them for his own body tempering, he could later have them refined into medicinal pills for Luo Chen to help him break through to the next level.
"Indeed. To possess such a people, the land across the ocean must be a truly great nation," Hexia praised.
The aura of He Chen, along with the countless awakened ones stationed at the checkpoint, immediately drew the attention of the God of Evil Ghosts.
Lei Xiao pulled an ingot of silver from his robes with his left hand, unclasped the shackles at his waist with his right, and said to Old Man Meng with a beaming smile.
Under the force of this brute strength, the sword successfully breached the protection of the scales and pierced into Xiang Liu's body.
Chong Lai felt his head spinning. Bai Yue’s vengeful nature was exactly like his during the day; wait until tomorrow? He couldn't even wait a single second without going mad.
The entire venue was covered by a massive, transparent protective shield. Without a pass, anyone would be blocked outside, even an invisible, stealthy cat.
Many vehicles were parked on the road, some already burned down to rusted shells, shattering instantly upon impact.
