Chapter Thirty-Eight: “There, there, don’t be afraid…”

He still held two or three contracts he had signed previously. Some parties had contacted him to terminate their agreements the very day the scandal broke, while the remaining few were still adopting a wait-and-see attitude.

Among them was a children’s variety show. Back when he was filming a movie, a young child had played his younger sister. Since the movie was well-received upon its release, the public began calling the child "Little Sister," and fans eventually left comments under the director’s Weibo account suggesting they cast him.

Under the brilliant, dazzling light, and beneath Lin Han’s narrowed, intensely fixed gaze, the pale yellow spiritual barrier before him—which had seemed indestructible—suddenly fractured. It shattered into a sky full of spiritual radiance, and amidst the shimmering specks of light, the true form of the spiritual artifact hidden within was gradually revealed.

He was telling the truth; the Heavenly Mystery Saint Flower could not enjoy such preferential treatment as the eldest young master and had no choice but to fight the Life-Ender to the death.

Fortunately, not all players were running around like headless chickens. After the rebel cavalry routed two player legions, the third legion, trailing at the rear, wisely chose to halt their advance. They immediately transitioned into a defensive stance on the spot and began gathering the fleeing troops, hoping to use this strategy to stop the cavalry’s rampage.

When it was Mo Fan’s turn, he arrived at the floor serving Japanese cuisine. First, he ordered some sashimi to refresh himself, then requested a portion of sukiyaki to enjoy.

Xue Dongyi narrowed his eyes as he looked at Dong Se, suddenly recalling the scene from their first meeting many years ago.

Especially since both men were accompanied by attractive women, he could not help but step out to mock them both.

Whether it was Tony the Iron Man, Bruce, or even Wang Jin and Qing Long, everyone turned their eyes toward that spot.

How could Amygdala withstand such a powerful strike? Its head was crushed on the spot like an egg, various fluids spilling across the ground; it was completely finished.

The young, handsome male employee was, in fact, Li Hao, who had only come out for a coffee. However, because he looked so young and was dressed quite casually, Yang Huijing had mistaken him for a member of the company staff.

The utterance of these words undoubtedly pushed the curiosity and suspicion in the hearts of the many cultivators present to an absolute extreme.

Cao Cao sighed; if this were not his own brother, he would have used him as cannon fodder. But Xiahou Dun was different after all; he had risked the danger of their ambush being exposed just to rescue him. Then again, if the ambush were truly discovered, they would simply engage in a skirmish; his goal was to fight Zhang Xiu, not to annihilate Zhang Xiu’s entire force.

Tang Zhizhi also looked at her with a concerned expression, but as the class teacher, she had already helped Yu You previously.

Faced with his adjutant’s desperate concern, Shi Ye felt somewhat helpless, but he obediently turned back to the medical room and climbed into the medical pod. Bai Yi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately initiated the connection to Earth.

Since Wei Zhuo himself did not care about the matter, there was no need for him to step in. Moreover, given the shameless lengths the Wei family had gone to—scheming to force Wei Zhuo to "acknowledge his ancestors"—it was likely that once Wei Zhuo returned to the Wei family, there would be plenty more trouble to come.

After a brief period of commotion, the Shen residence quieted down. Not long after, two figures hurried out from the side door, jumped into a carriage waiting outside, and drove off into the distance.

Her eyes held a touch of darkness; even though she was facing the sun, she felt no warmth in her heart.

Samuel glanced at her, then turned to look at the cultivation pod in front of him. The walls of the artificial womb were thick and semi-transparent with a frosted texture, but that did not prevent him from seeing the general situation inside through the lights surrounding the pod.

In the span of four years, Yu Wei had walked the runways of the world’s four major fashion weeks and was known domestically as an international supermodel.

"Wow." Li Jiayu sighed inwardly. Those dishes looked a bit dangerous.

This time, the Golden Lotus rubbed against her palm. Although it said nothing, Jiang Yunqing inexplicably understood what it meant.
