Volume One, Chapter 46: Even if the whole world abandons me, Little Brother will never forsake me.

The woman’s warm, soft body pressed against him, her chin resting on his shoulder, her head unconsciously leaning against the side of his face.

Perhaps the alcohol was taking effect, for her supple, boneless hands gripped his shoulders tightly.

Li Shiyan’s expression was irritable. “Ning Yu, let go.”

Over the past few years, the software launched by Ke Hang had all been successful, especially the security protection antivirus software released by Ke Hang Information Network, which averaged over ten thousand units sold each month.

The duty manager’s face had already turned pale with fear, likely worried about Jiang Qingqing’s reaction. After all, Jiang Qingqing was upstairs negotiating with an important client, and suddenly there was such a commotion downstairs. Moreover, someone from her team had been beaten, which was a huge blow to her pride—there was no way she wouldn’t be angry.

That Instructor Ellie was now managing a combat group at the military district level—how could that be possible?

At first glance, it seemed nothing unusual, but upon a second look, it was completely unexpected. Xia Shengxun and Lu Qian left the mansion side by side, chatting and laughing warmly, their demeanor intimate as they accompanied each other to the alley entrance before reluctantly parting.

“Just a few days after we left, Shen Shiyun was favored by the emperor and entered the palace as a concubine. I heard this from Meng Lin but kept it from senior apprentice brother. Although telling him might have helped him give up completely, I didn’t want him to be upset. Letting him hold onto that hope was better.”

But human plans cannot outmatch fate. After the guardian rushed out, three demon sound bats followed behind.

The vanished Moon Spirit’s power projection was actually a fragment of its own strength, merged into the body of the Awakening Bell.

I looked at Ye Qingcheng and smiled, but inside I was somewhat surprised. It seemed Ye Qingcheng sensed something was amiss as well.

If the Moon Spirit had not once been the most powerful spirit with unique abilities, it might have already been forcibly expelled into the Immortal Realm by the strong repulsive force of the Primordial Star.

Before the first battle had even ended, the Six-Family Alliance fell into discord. Ultimately, it was the Morgan and DuPont consortiums who joined forces to pressure the others, silencing any opposition within the alliance.

These biting forces seemed to act directly upon Ye Li’s soul, causing him unbearable pain that made him want to collapse to the ground.

In the market, many things could be called spirit stones. This particular spirit stone from the treasure mouse was only one among them.

Upon hearing his words, everyone nodded happily. After all, there were quite a few spirit stones and miscellaneous items inside, many of which were useful personal belongings. Being able to take them back was best for all.

Seeing Lin Wan’er’s expression, Leng Hecheng felt less worried, for she appeared shy rather than sorrowful.

“Plane?” She looked at him blankly, as if suddenly unable to comprehend the meaning of those two words.

On the first day Lin Wan’er left, Leng Hecheng returned home and locked himself in his room, spending the entire day and night without eating or drinking.

He Qi examined carefully. The few escape lights rising over the city belonged to the Dragon and Tiger Realms of the Wanderer Alliance. It seemed these people, seeing Ren Tongtian retreat, realized that capturing Feiyan City was hopeless. If they didn’t leave soon, they might be trapped there forever.

Chu Yun did not respond to Mu Yun’s words but instead picked up another knife and slashed open one of the bags on the ground.

For Han officials, Guan Yi demanded strict integrity and efficiency. But for leaders of other ethnic groups, the approach was completely different: no integrity, no fairness. They had to be corrupt and depraved, or else face blacklisting.

Qiu Xuan slowly closed his eyes, focusing his mind on De Yun, waiting for the moment De Yun entered a meditative state. At this time, Qiu Xuan’s heart was free of all thoughts, without a trace of distraction. Gradually, De Yun began to settle into his cultivation state, and Qiu Xuan’s spiritual energy slowly entered De Yun’s mind.
