Chapter 48: Be Good, Chuchu Missed You

Deep in the quiet of the night, Ji Shichu sat at his small writing desk.

He carefully opened the envelope that Shiyi had given him.

Greeting his eyes was the girl's delicate handwriting, accompanied by a chibi-style silly-smiling Shiba Inu she had drawn: Chuchu's father is doing great, and he misses Chuchu~

It was simple—just a single line, fourteen characters in total including punctuation—yet the young man read it over and over again.

With a roaring sound, Iron Shrimp was so happy his brain almost exploded: "This...? Thank you, Brother Jun, thank you!" Although Kwun Tong was quite a step down from Wong Tai Sin, the entire branch still brought in over a million a month. It could truly be called a leap to the heavens.

Inside, resonant Dao chants echoed, harmonizing with Yang Tian's physical body, making this elixir cauldron even more extraordinary.

"You..." Shen Lu leaned back against the car, the dark shadows cast by the men in black sunglasses under the sunlight falling over her, entirely enshrouding her in darkness.

Many people cast their gazes upon the Li family, half-doubting in their hearts, yet none dared to step forward and inquire.

Master Shao had long since been frightened into abandoning all resistance. He knew that the legendary General Ye before him was well-deserved of his reputation; the reason this extraordinary man had been able to stand firm in Nanjing for so long was certainly not just a matter of luck.

"Um, I still have some matters to discuss with Li Shengzun, you guys go back first." Zhang Tianyang naturally knew the usefulness of pulling rank and countered accordingly.

Lumina's newly released single was indeed a continuous stream of vitriol hurled at Jing Jian. As for Billy, in his pursuit of hype, what bottom line would he care about? He immediately fabricated a romantic affair. Heartbreak and despair were real enough, but the blacklist simply turned into a broken heart. Anyway, such an interpretation made sense—everything was for the sake of circulation.

The car body suddenly lurched, nearly rear-ending the vehicle in front. Caught off guard, Jian Ning fell backward, her eyes instinctively turning toward Gu Jingchen, only to see his lips pressed into a tight line, all previous traces of amusement completely vanished.

Yang Tian observed the River Chart, studied the celestial phenomena of heaven and earth, and after deducing for half a day, his brows locked tightly together, a hint of shock in his eyes. The heavenly secrets in this place were in complete disarray, as if some ancient mighty figure had muddled the celestial mechanism. Chaos and mist were everywhere, obscuring any clear view whatsoever.

"Just find that foreigner and provoke him until he's desperate to find a crack in the ground to hide in." Perhaps Han Jie really had too much to drink, completely failing to notice Weng Yuhua throwing him side-eyes at his side, as he blurted out his inner thoughts unreservedly.

The technique Xiong Yu used was one that Fanshi had already executed countless times when he first started learning the sword. Fanshi could be said to have an absolute understanding of this sword strike; with a disdainful smile, he turned and dodged to effortlessly evade Xiong Yu's thrust.

A few patches of land where the living gathered seemed to be shrouded in a layer of golden light, their dazzling brilliance illuminating this dark earth.

Looking at Ye Li's earnest gaze and hearing her utter those words, Chu Ge felt his heart violently spasm.

Thiniang used sword qi to fend off the enemy, hacking down the magical weapon attacks of those cultivators. Anything she could not reach was intercepted by Number One.

Beneath their feet lay a sea of stars, sparkling and endless, while above their heads stretched a brilliant canopy of stars.

"That sort of thing... you didn't really take it to heart anyway, why bother caring now?" the burly Chief Zhang said feebly.

The sight was simply too exquisite; the vitality in Chu Ge's eyes flickered like a candle flame swaying in the wind, liable to be extinguished at any moment. Persisting could only be a futile endurance of endless torment, and perhaps only extinguishment would bring release.

Now, he had finally calmed down somewhat. How to weigh the pros and cons was naturally something he understood in his heart.

Inside the black sedan brought by Haruno—she sat in the front passenger seat, while I and Yukinoshita were in the back.

When Chu Ge proposed this requirement, the corners of Xu Zhen's mouth twitched involuntarily. He thought to himself, Big Brother, you can't be playing games like this with people, right? Such a high-difficulty requirement, and demanding live sketching during an interview—isn't this a bit too ruthless?

Ice Peak said nothing, reflecting upon his own life. The apocalyptic catastrophe had been brought about entirely by his own hands—how utterly ridiculous. He appeared to be merely a high-level deity, belonging firmly to the lowest tier of cultivation in the Divine Realm; how could he possibly have triggered the destruction of an entire universe?
