Chapter 64: Feeling Like a Despoiler of Flowers!

Gu Yao did not sleep well last night, troubled by a series of bizarre and fantastical dreams.

Waking up in the morning with heavy dark circles under her eyes, she arrived at the office only to be spotted by Chen Ping'an, who immediately pulled out his phone and took a photo of her with exaggerated amusement.

"Did you go to an anime convention last night? Cosplaying as Kung Fu Panda?"

Gu Yao had already developed an immunity to his wisecracks; she merely glanced at him and couldn't be bothered to reply.

As the two of them walked through the company gates, they bumped straight into someone carrying a massive bouquet of fresh flowers.

Among the top ten enterprises—Luo, Mo, Ai, Qing, Liu, Yue, Yun, Hei, Shangguan, and Qian—only the eighth-ranked Hei M Corporation focused primarily on computer sales, while the rest operated in entirely different sectors. Consequently, Hei M's shipping volume was exceptionally high. Acquiring large batches of Hei M computers required going through the subsidiaries of these other companies.

This battle raged from dawn until sunset. Following last night's raid on the camp, Yuan Shu took Ji Ling's advice, redeploying the camp near Xuanyuan Pass and setting up numerous traps. Zhang Liao made a probing attack that failed, prompting Liu Xie to abandon the plan.

If you are unwilling to contribute to the country, the country repays you with a mountain of data—in a sense, that is a form of fairness as well. Xia He readily accepted this principle; if a person wishes to gain something, they must at least pay an equivalent price.

As for the few so-called immortal races, such as the dragons, they might even develop a profound sense of weariness toward life.

"There is bound to be someone better than you," Luo沧 said slowly a moment later, parting his thin lips to reveal two sharp, slender fangs. "I can't hold back anymore. All this talk about timing is too fake; it just has to be this way." With those words, he closed the distance until he was standing very close to An Ruo.

Nobody had come? Then how could it be her own father doing the cooking? Lost in thought, she had already made her way up to the third floor.

"What rightfully belonged to me is gone now. Yan Tian, do you think I am in any mood to sleep at time like this?" Yin Qi said condescendingly, a flicker of cold sharpness gleaming in his eyes as he stared at Yan Tian.

Once the deposit was paid and the date for the final payment was agreed upon, the matter was essentially settled. The two sat down on the sofa to rest for a moment, and Shen Yang began discussing the distribution of the houses.

How could Wu Kang fail to understand President Zhao's intention? Not paying it too much mind, he instructed President Zhao, "Very well! But the number of assistants must not exceed three." With that, Wu Kang turned and walked out of the ward, heading toward Chen Ying's room.

This should have been impossible! Had You Er not taken a desperate gamble at the very last split second to launch a strike that forced the enemy to rescue themselves; had this person not ceased their attacks after a single failed blow, Li Xun would likely be in the exact same state as Ming Li and the others right now.

Yet, Ning Liang ignored the man entirely, but the young man took the initiative to block Ning Liang's path instead.

Hearing Li Yuemei's words, the three of them deliberately forced their grief down into the depths of their hearts, subconsciously compelling themselves to believe that Wu Kang would truly return one day.

"That's right, don't you understand the meaning of yielding allegiance? It means that from this day forward, I am to become your subordinate," Lida said resolutely, a fierce glint of determination flashing in her eyes.

Upon hearing the five words "Dark Executioner," Anne Hathaway's body seemed to tremble slightly. Her complexion grew somewhat pale as she took a deep breath and nodded.

Shu Diehan emphasized the word "recently" with heavy sarcasm. If Li Xun failed to understand her meaning now, he would truly be a first-class fool.

Wuxian handed over the eagle-shooting treasured bow, and Tuoba Han notched three sharp arrows. The bowstring creaked as it was pulled to a full moon, formidable divine power infusing the shafts. Thick black mists billowed from the arrows as they pierced through the night sky with a piercing whistle.

"Uldu, my good son, you have finally returned." Wujige stepped forward, patted Uldu's shoulder, and tried his best to appear close and affectionate with his son.

Shu Diehan tilted her head slightly, pondering for a moment, before wrinkling her nose at the sky in mild disdain and finally looking down to check on Li Xun's condition.
