Chapter 83: You Are My Most Precious Treasure!

Xu Yunzhu felt as if she had just been struck by a grand prize. She took a closer look at the scripts in her hands… Alas. They were all roles like the fifth or sixth female lead. At best, there was a third female lead, but the character was so unlikable that almost no actress would accept such a role—only people like them, with no projects at all, would consider it.

Xu Yunzhu’s excitement faded away. Expressionless, she stared at Sister Cheng and asked, “Is the company really trying to develop my career, or are they setting me up for failure?”

The Fifth Princess knew she could not escape her fate of being married off for political alliance. Over the years, whenever the emperor showed signs of arranging her marriage, she feigned illness. She’d managed to drag things out for so long that now, at eighteen, her future husband had still not been decided.

Meanwhile, in the watermelon fields, there were several disturbances—sounds of rustling vines and leaves, accompanied by heavy breathing.

Clearly, he didn’t fully believe in the Sunlight Treasure Bodhisattva, but he still harbored some hope and longing, so his contribution of faith was meager.

“Grandmother, I don’t understand. We are all born of the same parents—how can they be so partial?” Miao Qi also asked.

He gave Old Zhang a fifth-level Dao Pill, agreeing to visit Yang Lie in his dreams that night, with Old Zhang helping to suppress the demon’s eye.

“How have you considered it?” Despite Tang Tian dragging things out for so long, the voice inside the egg remained calm and unhurried.

Seeing this, the gangsters no longer needed to listen for the police’s reply; they already understood things were not going as they had expected.

They shot and killed humanoid creatures who refused to reveal their heads, eliminated mutated colleagues who no longer wore strobe lights, used rocket launchers to destroy sudden roadblocks and checkpoints, and hurled flashbangs into swaths of sudden darkness.

Liang Rou understood the old man’s meaning. She’d thought of such lucky windfalls before, but even thinking with her toes, she knew the chances of success were slim to none.

Aside from the King of Qi and Princess Silvermoon’s issue, there were also rumors that Princess Silvermoon had stolen Wei Yu’s lover, leading to a dramatic fight between the two women.

He refused to give up and tried again. This time, the force was even stronger. Had Mu Chi not pulled him back with magic just in time, his fall would have been disastrous! Tang Youyou watched his sorry state and couldn’t help but stifle a laugh.

“We’re quite far behind many of them,” Lang Ming narrowed his eyes, but his smile only grew brighter.

Chen Huoda got in direct contact with the Golden Shield branch in Spring City, requesting the highest security level—the kind that comes armed and ready.

Langxie held her in his arms, bent low, and dashed off like a panther in the night, swiftly vanishing into the trees. After a few leaps, he crouched on a branch with Yan Qingwu, sharply alert. Murderous intent flashed in his eyes; he hadn’t expected a sniper. If not for his near-beastlike reflexes, that shot would have ended him.

“Wait! Monster! Stop!” The bearded man’s face was full of fear, while Moyu and the others, though drained of demonic energy, were still reckless enough to quietly pull out the forbidden scroll of the Demon God Whale from behind.

In the end, the Eagle purchased fifty AKs and twenty thousand rounds of ammunition. After Xu Fengli threw in three extra grenades, he left his contact information, took the money, and departed.

Huang Zheng did not treat her unfairly. With his subtle hints, Ding Lufei was promoted to deputy manager, then manager, of the Housekeeping Department. During the restructuring that followed, thanks to Huang Zheng’s influence, she was appointed deputy general manager of Longyou Hotel and manager of the VIP Department.

Xiao Le placed the last rose—though some petals were missing—with care, admiring her handiwork while retorting to Jia Xingxing’s remarks.

“My lady, why don’t you rest for a while? I’ll bring dinner over later.” Seeing Leng Yue’s sallow complexion, Xing’er urged her to sleep.

Lin Li had already been consumed by guilt and self-blame for causing someone’s death. Now, she stood there in a daze, dumbfounded, as she watched Bai Yan rescue her.

By chance, she happened to witness Wu Geyunxing and Zhao Ji’s mother quarreling in public.
