Volume 1, Chapter 37: A Confession Without Prompting, A Display of Utter Shame
[Page 1/3]
"Holy crap! Su Nianxi is truly a boss, dropping the order cancellation logs directly."
"First time I've seen someone step into the fray personally. So gutsy! Where are those people who claimed Su Nianxi was orchestrating this herself? Come out and look at this."
"It’s just because Su Nianxi has been trending lately, so someone must be jealous. Pulling a stunt like this—if they’re actually insiders, they’re finished once they’re investigated."
Netizens speculated back and forth about the mastermind behind the order cancellations, and the tone of the comments gradually returned to normal. However, a group of clickbait accounts and anti-fans who had sniffed out the drama were far from pleased.
"Entertainment Scoop V: How could Su Nianxi obtain and post specific order numbers? This constitutes an infringement on..."
Back then, he had never blamed his older brother; instead, he had sent him much of the money he earned from his part-time jobs. Yet, he never expected that Cao Dan would be so blinded by the glitz and glamour of the city that, upon achieving success, he would abandon his relatives in the countryside.
Zhao Gan leaned over slightly, blew warm air onto his hands, and picked up a piece of sturdy, half-burnt wood from the side. He then began to dig a hole in the ground like a rodent.
Cheng Lulu had always lived in a world between dreaming and waking. When Song Daowu was not in her sight, she lived quite normally; aside from not personally entertaining guests, nothing much had changed. But the moment Song Daowu appeared, she immediately became sensitive.
"Greetings, Elder." Lin Xian'er walked onto the stage with a light, elegant grace. Many outer-sect students stared at her back, swallowing hard. It was as if merely catching a glimpse of Lin Xian'er’s silhouette could make their hearts melt. It was a sense of contentment where all worries vanished in that instant.
In a blink, Song Daowu, having spent a full year and a half in Qin City Prison, stood leaning against the railing, gazing into the distance, his thoughts already flown to that lush, vibrant land of Jiangnan.
Wang Yitian, walking in front, gripped his golden ring bitterly. He thought he should just let go of the blade and let Ruoyu be fed to the snakes, yet he kept checking his peripheral vision to ensure she was following closely.
If Yuan Hongkang knew that Guo Lin was currently eyeing his Dragon Guards, one wondered what he would think.

Bypassing the dense thicket and reaching the edge of the forest, an unsettling aura followed. Although the forest was right before them, shrouded in wild grass and interlacing branches, patches of elusive white mist drifted within, making it impossible to discern what lay deep inside.
Two days later, the Mercenary Guild sent word for the Star Radiance Mercenary Group to return and collect their reward. This time, it was a genuine reward, and everyone was impatient.
"What's wrong with being a substitute?" Lin Xifan said. "It would be even better if I didn't have to play at all during the match." Though he said this, Lin Xifan actually felt his skills were decent, and if he had the chance to participate, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Tao Shigang and the Recluse of Moon Autumn exchanged glances. Initially, they had assumed this person of their own age was the mentor of Master Lin, but to their surprise, the roles were reversed. However, they didn't dwell on it; their primary purpose in coming was to discuss matters with Master Lin.
It was just that since the great war between the Ten Thousand Demon Sect and the orthodox paths, rumors about him had diminished significantly.
Chen Feng couldn't be bothered to argue with that Brother Ge; after all, it was meaningless. Besides, his pursuits weren't overly extravagant. He now had a big house to live in, luxury cars to drive, and a great job. Even if he lost his last pair of underwear, what of it?
With a dull thud, an aura rippled outward. This time, Lin Xifan did not dodge, choosing instead to collide directly with Long Tianlang. They recoiled immediately after the impact; it was merely a probing strike.
Perhaps some people didn't know yet, but when the rebroadcast aired that evening, things would truly explode.
When Ning Fuchen drove his claw in, the "Cold Heaven Jade Water Art" was fully unleashed. The explosive power of the spirit sword destroyed the internal structure of the giant mudfish in a split second; it was now dead beyond recovery.
Several men spoke in unison, seemingly having practiced in advance. Immediately, they lifted their heads, their expressions calm and filled with respect for those present.
Zhuo Tianfeng was stunned by these words, but having experienced so much, she immediately put on a smile, even if it was somewhat stiff.
Qing Hong collected her thoughts and walked toward Mu Qingyu with a soft, graceful gait. Wherever she passed, everyone hurriedly stepped aside, offering her friendly smiles.
However, given their strength, they were top-tier existences even while staying on Earth. Thus, they lived incredibly carefree lives in Kunlun, mostly hiding in blessed lands to diligently study how to break through Earth's constraints. They wouldn't bother with the affairs of the Kunlun Sect.

The mysterious hooded man mentioned by Wang had indeed reached the edge of the police cordon, but he stayed at the scene for only a very short time before leaving once he confirmed the situation.
Meng Feifei knew this was not the time for coyness. The sooner she absorbed it, the more certainty she would have; if she delayed, it might lead to other complications.
A faint smile curled the corners of the Demon Queen's lips, a look of enchanting, incredible charm. Yet, her beautiful face changed abruptly, and she waved her jade hand, instantly shattering a galaxy.
Upon hearing this, she became serious and asked if I had encountered trouble or if I was being harassed by unknown forces.
Wang Chongyang fell into another silence. Hao Tian was right; if it were truly random, his luck was indeed heaven-defying to hit a one-in-seventy-billion chance.
I smiled and sipped my tea, thinking to myself that perhaps this was the best outcome. I couldn't be bothered to run around, and meeting the Black and White Impermanence here was certainly a good thing.
Along the way, they encountered many Gek apes, but because "Invisibility" was activated and they avoided them whenever possible—fearing that discovery by any one of them would lead to total exposure—no battles or conflicts broke out on the journey.
If a warship were fighting one-on-one, the casualties would certainly be low, as the sheer durability of a cosmic-grade warship could easily withstand one or two hundred enemy shots. However, in large-scale warfare, facing concentrated enemy fire, even the strongest warship would be finished.
"This regional war in the Chi Ming Realm has exceeded our control," the God King said softly.
Previously, they had taken turns fighting "Dugu Cang." Although he didn't kill them, "Dugu Cang" had confiscated their Saint-grade weapons directly. In his eyes, "Dugu Cang" was a robber—a robber with a massive appetite.
