Chapter Twenty-Four: What Was Fu Wenhan Thinking?

For a fleeting moment, Xu Miao’s mind went completely blank.
Girlfriend?
Me?
Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were now wide as saucers. What on earth was Fu Wenhan thinking?

Meanwhile, Nokia in America was on high alert, and the other two companies that had seen significant stock volatility over the past few days were in the same state; they had prepared substantial funds today, ready to defend their share prices at a moment's notice.

They all recognized this monk—he was the very same high priest who rang the bell at the Bell Tower every Lunar New Year’s Day.

Under the guise of teaching, Yu Feng reached out to pinch and touch her, clearly enjoying himself immensely. Every time he did, it drew a playful, coy rebuke from Shang Pinyu. Yet, he did teach her quite a bit, covering useful skills like how to swing her arms and legs while backstroking to maintain balance and propel herself forward.

Indeed, Maiya Hisau did not seem like the type for idle chatter, but that absolute silence was a bit too heavy for Irisviel, who found it difficult to keep her mouth shut.

Sure enough, the day after Fang Li and his group arrived at Sprite Town, they managed to wait for Roy and the others just as they had hoped. Fang Li even spotted a few familiar faces. He still remembered marveling at the sheer flamboyance of their escape when they were chased off by the magical beasts back then.

To one side, Xia Ruoxi simply smiled as she watched Lin Feng exchange pleasantries with President Zhou. She had no intention of interjecting; after all, it was better to let Lin Feng handle this matter.

Laura looked down at herself. After a night of rushing about, her clothes were filthy. Following Sally’s lead, she scooped up a handful of clear water and began to wash herself carefully.

Linghu Ningyuan pointed at the two divine artifacts stuck in the ground, finally addressing the core issue. These items were national treasures; they could not simply take them. If they did, they would never be able to leave the Talent Academy as easily as Fu Yan had suggested.

"In that case, I am deeply grateful!" Although Lie Zhenqing could tell that Meng Erchi was mocking him, he dared not express his anger and could only force a smile in response.

Fu Yan pursed his lips and did not probe further. No system could ever be perfectly flawless; every system evolves and improves through development. Those with innate talent were, after all, in the minority, and the principle of the minority deferring to the majority was the mainstream consciousness of this society and this world.

Whatever state one is in within reality, that is the state one carries into the dream world.

"Mr. Zhang, you seem to harbor some hostility toward Jingyan? I don't recall Jingyan ever offending you, do I?" You Jingyan knew Mr. Zhang was an upright man and wanted to have a thorough, honest conversation with him, so he saw no point in being evasive.

Jiang De looked at the deep in thought Li Gang, then at the restless Captain Cai standing nearby, and couldn't help but shake his head. At this moment, Li Gang was still too young. Coming from an official's family, he hadn't faced many setbacks, and his words were far too naive.

Moreover, they were currently facing an ancient Golden Crow at the Saint realm; with a single glare from its eyes, the very heavens trembled.

Wu Hao thought for a moment and then nodded. He, too, was eager to see these young, talented powerhouses and discover just how wide the gap was between him and them.

Yet, in that flash of lightning, a hand suddenly reached out from the void, grabbed her arm, and in the instant she vanished into thin air, the surroundings were engulfed in fiercely burning crimson flames.

However, Bai Sen couldn't worry about all that for now. He was covered in grime from head to toe and truly wanted nothing more than a proper bath, followed by a blissful sleep to let his aching muscles finally get some rest.
