Volume One, Chapter 85: Examination Fraud? With a Single Letter, I Shake the World!

His friend arrived quickly, driving a Land Rover. As he stepped out and saw me sitting on Shen Duo’s jacket, with Shen Duo crouching in front of me, he was so startled that he staggered, nearly falling flat on his face.

She was like a beautiful yet icy shard of frost, radiating a deadly chill in the waning glow of sunset. Accompanying that cold brilliance was a voice, elegant and frigid to the extreme.

“All right then,” Xi Hong and Lian Qing glared fiercely at each other, then shrank their necks, each turning away puffing with indignation, refusing to meet the other’s gaze again.

A faint smile played at the corners of the Demon Queen’s lips. The slight curl of her crimson lips was irresistibly alluring, but her pretty face changed in a flash; she waved her jade hand, shattering a stretch of the starry river in an instant.

Both parties stood up in the hall and shook hands, preparing to bid each other farewell. President Huayue grasped ‘Kalan’s’ hand with excitement, hope gleaming in his eyes. Indeed, with the current energy crisis afflicting the earth’s biosphere, what could be more important than the promise of an unlimited supply of crystals?

Jiang Lan placed the autobiography into his backpack, glanced around to make sure there was nothing else of value, then turned to leave.

“I miss him too. At least he’s more normal than you are,” Tang Tang said, feeling the arm around her waist tighten. She looked up at Bai Shaozi, narrowed her eyes, and tossed him a flirtatious glance.

Tang Tang nodded, “That’s me.” She smiled with narrowed eyes, already contemplating how to answer the next question, so preoccupied she didn’t even notice where Bai Lingzi had emerged from.

“It’s not really difficult. It just takes a bit of time. Wait a moment longer—the door will open soon!” Mei Xuelian explained.

After checking that her bathrobe was securely wrapped, Su Jing finally stepped out of the bathroom. Yet, after only two steps, she felt a draft below… um… cough, cough… it seemed a bit breezy.

He limped over from where he had fallen, plopped down beside me, and, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, lay down and rested his head on my lap. The air instantly stilled; I didn’t dare move or breathe, a current running from my thigh through my whole body.

Luo Ying stared at her for a long while, his gaze so piercing it seemed ready to extract her very heart—sharp as a blade, impossibly keen.

The moment Pi Dan spoke, everyone’s eyes turned to me and Yan Bin. I struggled to keep my composure, twisting the elastic band in my hands as if nothing was wrong, forcing a foolish grin. In that solemn silence, my behavior seemed especially out of place.

Yun Shang was no fool; killing Huang Yuan now would be tantamount to crippling himself, making the path ahead even more treacherous.

After dinner, Dou Jinying returned to Qin Fang’s side, continuing to care for him with unwavering devotion.

As so many times before, he loved to kiss her forehead—a gesture both pure and precious, symbolizing their rare friendship.

He stared unblinkingly at the Black Cliff, and with a gentle sweep of his snowy sleeve, a ring of flames sprang up from thin air, trapping the black mist conjured by Black Cliff within its fiery bounds.

In the following days, each faction dispatched troops to comb their counties’ villages, while Li Qingyuan devoted himself to building a new weapons workshop.

On the mural, figures stood, sat, and leapt—some poised in action, others displaying the various postures of the Bear Tendon and Bird Stretch techniques. Lin Qiu counted as he surveyed the room: three hundred and sixty-four images in all.

My eyes grew moist; in that moment, I truly, truly didn’t know what to say.

Fei’er hesitated, said nothing, and after a long silence merely nodded to me before slowly fading from my sight.

The tantalizing data from the superluminal probe experiments, the entire suite of superluminal detection technology—all these enticing prospects dangled before me, yet I could do nothing but watch them slip away.

Shi Long’s mastery of both internal and external martial arts was at the level of the top experts—otherwise, how could his fame have endured for decades?

But that was enough; the pirates’ morale had burnt out along with the destruction of the Fury. From here on, the only thing left was slaughter.

Zhang Qiang held up three fingers, looked Li Qi in the eye, and shook his head. “None of the three can be done!” Without waiting for Li Qi to ask, he went on to list out each client’s problems, leaving Li Qi stunned, then astonished, and at last thoroughly amazed.

In short, Hu Lian discovered that the Tartars were unusually active, seemingly planning something big—though of course, such reports were the wisdom of hindsight.

Back then, when he was dating Zhan Miaojing, she had a particular fondness for playing on QQ Zone, so she got both herself and Qi Lin gold memberships, setting up a couple’s space for them.

He couldn’t tell if her words were drunken nonsense or if she was revealing truths she’d hidden deep down, but one thing he knew for certain: she harbored secrets buried far within.

She opened her mouth, as if searching for something to say to save face, but in the end, not a word came out. She simply stood there obediently, not daring to speak out of turn again.

I stared up at the ceiling, realizing now why Jiang Qingwan had looked at me so oddly earlier—it turned out she knew everything already.

So long as the envoy wasn’t Vashtod, Gao Yu still had a chance to compete.

After waking the four members of the Flower Bull group, Kairen angrily delivered the bad news. The four, upon seeing the state of the room, were stunned beyond words. The scene before them was beyond anything “tragic” could describe—how could so much have happened in the brief time they’d dozed off?

The dumpling she had bitten into suddenly disappeared. She looked up to see the man beside her, chewing and staring at his phone.

“Because I think taking you away would be far more thrilling than taking Lu Nanxin,” Huo Qingcang said with a candid, mischievous smile.

The drill ground resembled a field of carnage, so grim that even the most seasoned soldiers balked, though none could remain uninvolved.

Lu Nanxin stared at Lu Baiting in shock, shaking her head over and over. All her pride and resolve dissolved completely in the face of his words.
