Chapter 58 Or perhaps she was beaten up after being violated by someone.

The next morning, Gu Yao arrived at the company right on time.

An autumn rain brings a drop in temperature; with the rain having just fallen last night, there was a noticeable chill in the air today.

Upon arriving at her office, she first brewed herself a cup of hot tea and then reviewed the new orders the company had secured yesterday.

There were three orders in total, including a major one from a neighboring city.

Just as she finished reading them, Chen Ping'an walked in from outside, holding a tablet.

With a slight movement of his long legs, he sat down right beside Gu Yao's desk.

The audience had always maintained a skeptical attitude regarding what contestants were like in private, and nobody really knew what kind of person Xu Yuan was on a regular basis.

Getting closer, one could clearly see the two of them chatting. One was younger, dressed in a long black robe with a jade pendant hanging from his belt, possessing handsome features and a natural grace in his conversation that drew sideways glances from passersby; the other was older, yet bore a striking resemblance to the young man, save for a pair of eyes that appeared much shrewder.

"Unable to refine the vital essence and blood!" Fang Li gritted his teeth as he spat out those six words. His hand seal changed, and the soul wheel appeared between his eyebrows. The three-colored spiritual awareness surged toward his dantian, intent on sealing it using spiritual awareness?

Tian Xiang, whom she had just met not long ago and added as a friend at the Louwai Lou restaurant by the West Lake, went by the TikTok ID "A Fragrant Puff".

When the viewers from the nation of Ceres saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity and surprise.

Commentators are originally meant to liven up the atmosphere and help players understand what is happening in the match, and WaWa was well-qualified as part of the mood-setting crew.

Half a month later, inside a VIP special care ward at the Zhonghai Zhiyuan International Hospital, Tang Yuan was sitting in the reception lounge facing Zhao Shuyun and Su Jingsheng. They were chatting and laughing with one another, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

"Thirteen million." In the general section, a shocking price suddenly rang out. It came from a figure entirely shrouded in a black robe, whose voice was extremely hoarse.

"Eastern Wu has a terrain crisscrossed with waterways, which is inconvenient for cavalry charges. We have Yizhou and Bingzhou; that is more than enough to resolve all land warfare over there." Su Chen raised a hand, and Zhou Yu and Gan Ning, standing at the very end of the military officials, stepped forward together and took their places right in front of the imperial steps.

At the summit of Mount Fangcun, Sun Wukong sat cross-legged on a giant boulder. A mighty aura surged forth, shooting straight up into the firmament as if to shatter the vault of heaven and cause the surrounding sea of clouds to roar once again.

"Haha, he's a friend of mine." The spirit farmer suddenly appeared beside Ling Qian, interrupting the man's words.

"Moxiang, you must listen carefully to Uncle Bai, you hear me?" Li Cihan said to Moxiang.

Right at this moment, however, a monstrous aura swept across the area, and a blood-stained figure appeared atop the Heaven-Suppressing Pagoda.

Utilizing the cover of night, coupled with the speed advantage of running horses, Huang Yan was confident he could break through the encirclement and escape safely.

Though it was a brothel, the interior furnishings were actually rather elegant, free of any smoky or chaotic noise. An occasional young man dressed in the garb of a scholar could be seen coming and going.

First, for several days in a row, he led the imperial guards out of the city to conduct on-site surveys of the surrounding terrain. Upon returning home, he constructed a military sandbox in the western courtyard.

"Third Brother, how did you know there was a piece of refining crystal down there?" Li Cihan could not help but feel immensely curious.

Furthermore, these wise men and capable generals had presumably not come to pledge their loyalty on account of the General Who Conquers the West's title, but rather because their hearts were wholly tethered to the orthodox Han dynasty.

"These soul-devouring snakes are truly a pain, actually showing no fear of death one after another," Ling Qian said helplessly just as he destroyed a soul-devouring snake that was in the middle of merging, yet his body kept moving forward because he wanted to escape this boundless space as soon as possible and master the Realm of Void Purity all the sooner.

"Is the Water-Averting Technique difficult?" Within his sea of divine consciousness, that split strand of consciousness suddenly asked the two Huans.

Qi Yuzhi glanced at his third brother, Qi Yuheng, who had not long ago passed the imperial examinations yet maintained an entirely calm expression, and felt an even greater sense of upset in his heart. In an instant, anger, disappointment, jealousy, and shame—all sorts of emotions surged up together. Fearing he might run into acquaintances here, he pushed away his father's hand and fled.
