Volume 1, Chapter 61: Splitting the Money

An Qingyu paused, pen and paper frozen in his hand. He had never expected that Wang Meijuan would be able to secure such a large amount of compensation.

He glanced sideways at the bewildered Dong Jianbei, a persistent sense of guilt welling up in his heart.

Draft papers piled up before him, each one covered with dense blocks of writing.

"Ren Diyu, let's start the sweep and draw! Heaven protect me, bless me with European luck!" Staring intently at the spinning wheel of the Ren Diyu system, Ling Xiao now had to rely purely on luck. The system had promised rewards containing items needed for evolution, though he had no idea how many he would actually receive.

I stopped by the roadside and pulled out my phone. Sixteen missed calls, ranging from nine-thirty until five minutes ago, all of them from He Liancheng.

She walked right over, pulled me aside, and after checking my injuries, showered me with words of concern. Her gestures were so intimate that I began to feel rather embarrassed myself.

Since she had decided to give it a try, she would live a human life to the fullest, because that was what her husband had told her.

"It's nothing. I also think my sister is gorgeous, and there are plenty of men pursuing her, but she doesn't care for a single one of them. Personally, I think Master and my sister are the most compatible match," Li Hao said.

Upon hearing Mu Meiqing curse at me like that, the Crown Prince burst into laughter. Yet, I couldn't afford to throw a tantrum in front of the two of them—after all, they were both major figures.

With that, the entire story came to an end. Having listened to so much from Ryze, Ling Xiao finally gained a true understanding of the Super Academy. What he had known previously was merely superficial; now, for the first time, he truly grasped just how arrogant and vast this world was.

As a being who transcended the world of Naruto, Ling Xiao's appearance provoked strong rejection from the natural laws and world energy of the Naruto universe. After all, it was an intermediate world within the mid-tier realms, unlike lower-tier worlds that easily submitted.

"Dean, just tell me! If there is trouble, I will definitely help you resolve it!" Advisor Wu said anxiously.

By contrast, she was far more worried at the moment about the God's Kiss project described by Chaba. Heaven only knew whether he would resort to extreme, lunatic measures to wipe out all of humanity using this virus.

At this moment, Ah Liang still did not know that the very belief that had supported him all the way here had already vanished like smoke! He would only discover this truth when he arrived at the Gu family residence.

Clearly, Shangguan Fei was now a disciple of the Elder of the Nine, and any action he took still required consultation with his master. To Shangguan Fei's request, the Elder of the Nine did not reply immediately, falling instead into a brief silence.

"What's wrong, Sister Yulong?" Yun's voice drifted over as she glanced briefly at Shi Yong, taking a few quick steps to reach Yulong's side.

"Qu Bing is an upright and clever man, and the rest of them are quite exceptional as well. If we can secure their allegiance, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. I truly hope—" Zhang Fentian smiled, leaving the rest of his sentence unsaid.

This primitive style of combat was thrilling, yet terribly slow. Right now, what worried Ah Liang the most was not whether Shangguan Fei would win, but rather the vague sensation that Nangong Xiao's aura was growing steadily weaker. Death was merely a matter of time.

"May I ask your esteemed names?" Wang Huan, acting temporarily as the host of this place, spoke first, subtly asserting his own status and position.

Following Lianxiang into the villa, Xiaoxiao was greeted by a completely empty living room—no sofa, no television, and no other electrical appliances.

Yanyu's energy was utterly negligible when compared to the need to suppress that tiny bit of turbulent energy, but that same turbulent energy could hardly be called negligible within Lu Tianxiang's Conception Vessel. If Yanyu failed to properly control the ratio of energy, she would cripple Lu Tianxiang all the same.
