Volume 1, Chapter 24: He Is a Man Above Men, I Am a Descendant of the Dragon & Can It Be Sold Domestically?

Luo Xuan took her elder sister’s advice to heart, originally intending to sell off a portion the next day and operate with only half her position. Who would have guessed, however, that when the market opened the following day, her stocks surged wildly once more. Luo Xuan immediately tossed all caution to the wind, locking the doors to the runaway train of profit and refusing to get off.

While Qin Shi Huang found himself at a disadvantage on one side, Ah Qing had the twisted humanoid monster pinned down, barely able to turn over.

Suddenly, a commotion erupted. Several men brandishing weapons charged recklessly toward Liyue. At first, Liyue did not think she was the target, but when the men slowed their pace behind her and extended their weapons, she finally understood.

Li Hongming didn't believe it and pouted. Regardless, he had become indifferent to it all by now; no matter how formidable Sadako might be, could she possibly be worse than being reduced to a mere skeleton?

Xizi regained her composure, suppressing the nervousness and excitement in her heart, and asked with feigned calm, "Are you ready?" Ready to accept this love-infused nuclear bomb?

Lingyue secretly cursed, realizing something was wrong. In that split second, the black Thunder Emperor Blade slipped past Lingyue and flew off. Wanyue was stunned and momentarily at a loss. It took her several seconds to react, by which time she saw Lingyue had already dashed out of the corridor and onto the deck. She followed immediately after.

"Think about it. If this Long Qi was sent by Wei Huaqing, aren't Wei Huaqing's men watching us from outside right now? If we make a move, they will report it back. At this moment, anything we do is a mistake."

Several days later, the elders received the news they had been hoping for and shifted their focus to the inner courtyard.

"You are grown up now; you should eat by yourself and not let others feed you," Yinreng coaxed.

The fox clan is naturally gifted in the art of seduction, though possessing this talent does not necessarily mean they will wreak havoc on the world. Fox spirits are highly perceptive of human nature; generally, they are either extremely kind or extremely evil, differing little from humans. Shi Hui had seen fox spirits who were deeply affectionate, holy, and grateful for kindness, but there were also those who were ruthless and used their seductive arts to harm others wantonly.

The production team arranged for a cameraman to follow, and the director hastily checked with headquarters. Once they confirmed they were cleared to film, they reluctantly entered the bar.

Had anyone else treated her this way, she would have resisted, but precisely because it was her most intimate companion, she had let her guard down completely.

"It’s alright, it’s mostly like this no matter how it changes. It’s basically set now and won't change much. If you want to see the changes in the Imperial Capital, you can go to the High-Tech Park. Judging by your appearance, you must be a high-level intellectual, someone who works in an office, right?" the old man said with a smile.

Ye Zhixing had bought many herbs earlier, but she had stored them all in a VIP locker. To her surprise, there was still a single herb left in her bag that had reacted to the potion, and it was the only one of its kind remaining in her possession.

Mentioning Su Xiang, Yang Qian showed rare dissatisfaction, yet her upbringing prevented her from saying anything more. Wen Ziqing observed her expression but said nothing, simply escorting her back to the Duke of Xin’s mansion before casually mentioning that he intended to visit the Su residence.

Xiu Xiyu gazed deeply at Ye Tian, but in the end, he said nothing, merely nodding in silence.

She was burning with anxiety and had no mind for courtesy, intending to force her way in without a second thought. However, the other side seemed well-prepared; the moment she made her move, hundreds of guards surged out like a tidal wave in the blink of an eye.

And so, Zhou Zekai and Gu Xiang's company team began to produce the designs he had drawn. When the designers saw the concept for the "Black Swan," they all cast secret glances at their company president, Gu Xiang. Beyond being dazzled, they felt more certain than ever that Zhou Zekai was truly in love with their boss.
