"President Lu, you truly honor us today by taking the time out of your busy schedule to be here. Allow me to propose a toast to you."

Inside the diamond private dining room of Li Youji's Private Kitchen, Gu Nanfeng, the president of Gu's Audio-Video Entertainment Company, held his wine glass with both hands, offering a flattering smile to Lu Yiqing, who was seated in the host's chair.

Gu Nanfeng was the IP owner of the reality show *Come On, Fall in Love*.

This project was conceived by Gu's Audio-Video Entertainment Company, with them acting as both the investors and—

Yet throughout it all, Yang Xuan had not uttered a single word. As it turned out, he had been sleeping right from the beginning and was still fast asleep. When everyone departed, no one had bothered to wake him, and it remained unknown how much longer he intended to sleep.

With the penetrating gaze of the Heavenly Eye and Du Meng's azure vision observing closely, it turned out to be a millennium-old black chimpanzee spirit. They had truly poked a hornet's nest this time. The black monkey spirit commanded over two thousand soldiers, armed with local farm implements such as kitchen knives, sickles, and firewood axes. In a majestic and unstoppable formation, they tightly surrounded the group.

Arriving as usual at the department room now bearing the sign of the Swimming Club, Yang Chong had yet to speak when the students walking out from the wire-fenced pool looked at him with hostile expressions.

Just as Avi had anticipated, the reason everyone was crowding toward the direction of the arena was that two mercenaries were confronting each other upon the stage, neither of them having struck a rash blow yet.

"Mills! You and I are bound to end up in different princes' factions sooner or later anyway! Let us settle the outcome today; whoever dies will no longer have to worry about future troubles!" Veronica shouted while attacking, though it was clear she was not exerting her full strength, and the thrusts of her short sword carefully avoided vital areas.

Throughout history, the Principality of Salins had engaged in numerous military conflicts with the Augustan Empire. Now that this "troublesome neighbor" had split into two, no matter which angle one looked from, this was an entirely favorable development.

"So that's how it is!" The elder of the Heavenly Absolute Gate nodded, then cast a deeply meaningful glance at Diaoyuan Hua.

"What? We can really go back?" Over a dozen pseudo-core-formation disciples foolishly grinned and nodded vigorously.

"No! The time is not yet right," Ampuwo and Toya were both swordsmen, though one wielded a greatsword while the other used a longsword.

Upon hearing these words, the figure Ding Xuan was about to lunge forward with was struck as if by lightning. In the very instant her mind panicked, the frivolous look on Cui Feng's face vanished entirely. A chilling gleam flashed across his eyes as he picked up a dark gray talisman from his storage pouch and hurled it forward.

Jin Xiuchen naturally understood Peng Hao's intent, curling his lips as he remarked, "She won't find happiness marrying any of them!" What kind of scoundrels those nephews were and what schemes they harbored, he was abundantly clear about.

Too slow to dodge, Chen Yi clenched his fists tightly. If he were to be pierced by this blow, the mere loss of blood alone would surely strip him of his life.

"Beat him up!" Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and several boys standing next to Hedan immediately began punching and kicking him. The surrounding onlookers cheered and applauded, many of them already feeling utter contempt for Hedan from the bottom of their hearts.

"But what?" Though separated by a vast distance, Wang Xuanlong still managed to perceive the clue hidden within the Dragon Soul's eyes.

As their spacecraft landed gracefully on the tarmac in front of the Retro Alliance Parliament Building of the Heavens, three White-Winged Government Planetary Defense Headquarters soldiers approached them, stood at attention, and saluted simultaneously.

Just as the Hao Heavenly Dog reached the edge of the forest, a terrifyingly ferocious roar erupted from the depths of the sea of blood and bones, shaking the mountain forests and causing countless living creatures to flee in panic.

On this day, Lan Haining could finally bear it no longer and decided to go down the mountain for a walk: "Since Leng Jianfeng was able to save her down the mountain, she must still be down there as well." With this thought, she transformed into a grey shadow and dashed down the mountain.

This Fatty Qi had completely crossed his bottom line. Since that was the case, no more games—it was time to let him suffer a little.
