Chapter 38: The First Kiss, Tasting of Champagne

The birthday banquet was strictly stratified. When the name of Shang Jiuxu appeared on the internally released guest list, many people pulled strings and sent gifts just to secure a ticket. These individuals were relegated to the outer seating area; they could not enter the inner circle, which was mostly reserved for the Xu family's relatives and primary business partners, still one layer removed from the elite core.

The Xu family's direct descendants, lifelong associates, and top-tier noble families occupied the central core. Su Mian, by virtue of her status as the Shang family's adopted daughter, was permitted to be there, while the most honorable...

Ye Fei exerted all his strength into that kick. Once propelled by such force, Thompson’s body flew toward the iron cage wall like a fired cannonball.

"Boom..." Han Tian, Han Yue’s uncle, felt his body jolt. He lost his balance on his chair, slid off instantly, and landed hard on his backside, followed immediately by earth-shattering roars echoing through the council hall.

"It's over, everything is over..." Shao Wen asked kept muttering to himself, as if the sky had collapsed.

It would sound quite strange just hearing the name, wouldn't it? If one were a Saint Ten-level Archmage, they would certainly understand.

Seeing that he was truly pitiful and had lost in such an incomprehensible manner, I kindly offered to educate him.

Upon hearing Master Jia say this, everyone present widened their eyes. President Dan subconsciously began to rack his brain; he had brought over a hundred million in funds this time to prevent any treasures from being snatched by others—he still bore the grudge of having a treasure snatched from him last time.

"Jiuyou, I told you long ago that even if we didn't intervene, others would come," Ye Bihuang transmitted to the Empress.

Just as Zeng Ming was wondering what he was doing, a dragon’s roar suddenly erupted, resounding across heaven and earth in an instant.

The scene appeared lively, and the disciples seemed to be in harmony, but a keen observer would notice that they were subtly divided into six factions, each led by the primary disciple of one of the six peaks, excluding Luoxia Peak.

The figure in the sky plummeted toward the ground immediately. Ning Feng followed closely behind; his divine sense had long since detected that the guy with the lowest cultivation was trailing him, but he was too slow and still some distance away from the two of them.

To them, both Japanese and Korean car manufacturers were entities that needed to be suppressed.

Behind her, several tall bodyguards in black suits, armed with clubs, rushed in; one look was enough to tell they had undergone professional training.

Judging by the voices, there seemed to be only two people. The former’s voice was bright, rhythmic, and full of vitality, like a sunny young man; the latter’s voice was as warm as jade, magnetic yet carrying a hint of laziness, much like a refined gentleman.

When I woke up again, it was already the next morning. Lu Fei was gone, leaving behind only the lingering warmth of his body and a faint woody fragrance.

The sudden change caused Lady Pei’s expression to shift drastically. Just as she was about to strike, the white light vanished.

Above the ruins of the dormitory building, Chen Ziqi looked up blankly at Chen Yu. Chen Yu, in his spiritual form, radiated an ethereal light; he looked down at his sister in his arms and smiled.

The other person saw his expression and followed his gaze, only to be startled by the imposing presence of the dozens of men.

He leaped high into the air, gliding obliquely toward the other side. While mid-air, his long sword never ceased; he swung it continuously, sending waves of sword energy raining down toward Cheng Yunxiang.

Moreover, the Nine-Heaven Mysterious Bird possessed a unique temperament—both mysteriously noble and powerfully imposing—making it absolutely unforgettable.

Li Yun’s massive body, standing about three and a half meters tall, towered over the ground. His knotted muscles were interlaced with black and red, forming intricate patterns, while wisps of black-red true energy diffused from his pores, distorting the surrounding air.

Looking up into the distance, he discovered four flickering lights—cyan, red, black, and yellow—not far ahead, thinking that must be the place where the four great primordial divine beasts once repaired the holes in the sky.
