Chapter 30: The Orphan

Shen Qingqing left the Lin residence, and Jiang Zhixun did not follow. It was Chen Shaojie who chased after her.

"Comrade Shen, I am truly sorry. I put you in such an awkward position earlier because of my own affairs."

The man before her looked flustered, his eyes filled with genuine sincerity; he truly felt apologetic.

Shen Qingqing replied, "There is no need to apologize. I can distinguish right from wrong, and I will not take my anger out on others arbitrarily."

Chen Shaojie scratched the back of his head, unsure of what else to say.

She pinned the incessantly babbling Tu Ming down, pressing her hands against his arms. Biting her crimson lips, her face flushed with a rosy hue, her eyes captivating and soul-stirring.

President Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve repeatedly. Despite having personally destroyed the meticulously arranged feng shui layout, a look of relief appeared on his face.

With a soft "pop," the hand vanished from before his eyes, only to reappear again after a sudden withdrawal.

Qin Ling appeared solemn, even subconsciously taking a step back, because a sense of extreme danger had suddenly welled up in his heart. More importantly, it was a danger he had felt before.

Ever since they were repelled by Jingjing’s powerful ultimate move, they dared not be careless again, choosing to give their all; otherwise, given Jiang Xie’s methods, it was quite possible that one of them would perish here.

After a long while, he tilted his head back and drained the last drop of nectar. Lin Jie stood up, tucked the sleeping Uncle Li in, and walked out of the courtyard alone. He sat on the roots of the locust tree from his childhood, gazing at the night sky, his heart rippling like water one moment and calm as a mirror the next.

The Celestial Demon Kingdom celebrated nationwide. Countless people cheered loudly, and numerous members of the demon race set out from all corners of the kingdom, heading toward the extinct volcano on Flame Island in the Void Domain.

Jiang Xie was stunned on the spot. How could someone be sold off and yet act as if they were grateful to the other party? It was as if being sold were some sort of wonderful thing.

Being asked such a question by a renowned director, Leng Ruobing felt incredibly nervous. In less than half a day, her face had turned bright red. "No, nothing." After saying this, she felt utterly mortified. Considering she was a graduate of the prestigious C University, it was truly shameful that she had never even filmed a decent production.

Qin Yunrou flew backward, but the Bear King was not satisfied. Its massive body lunged forward again, and giant blades of wind shot from its paws, shrouding Qin Yunrou from every direction.

Look at him, sucking up right from the start. That road construction project was likely Li Jie’s most commendable achievement.

He simply let go of the steering wheel, sitting in the driver’s seat and watching the car plunge off the overpass with remarkable composure.

Ding Li laughed heartily, holding up a wine goblet, and said, "Gentlemen, tracing it back through my mother, we are all kin. I failed to recognize you earlier and acted without propriety. I have offended you two cousins, and I beg for your forgiveness. I shall drink this first as a gesture of respect." Having said this, he tilted his head back and finished the wine in the bronze goblet.

"Bear with it," Leng Yi said again, though amidst the howling wind, he wasn't sure if Xie Qing had heard him.

Hearing the prison artifact’s praise, Lang Fei felt a bit embarrassed. He knew that he hadn't trained them at all; these puppet warriors were all obtained through his system, but he couldn't reveal that.

However, in his account, he had fabricated several events that had never actually occurred.

But later, during an unparalleled cataclysmic war, the Immortal Realm shattered, and the Immortal Court collapsed and perished along with it.

Even Li Yunfeng, upon seeing this planet, hesitated after sensing it carefully, wondering whether he should enter.

When the Emperor learned that Duan Jinrui had been ambushed and gone missing on his way back to the capital after the Fengshan sacrifice, he was furious. The court officials had been terrified into silence ever since, and even the ladies of the inner palace dared not show a hint of a smile.

Wu Chen had not invited Li Ye to his estate today to discuss business, but Li Ye had led him astray with a flurry of smooth talk, causing him to completely forget his original purpose.
