Chapter 67: Playing the Female Lead

Director Jiang stood nearby and said awkwardly, "Wang Suxin, that's quite enough. This is just a short web drama; the standards aren't that strict."

She had never been known for demanding real physical contact in her past acting, yet when it came to Su Xingwan, she suddenly insisted on authenticity.

Although Wang Suxin had indeed starred in numerous hit short dramas, wasn't she carrying herself a bit too much like a diva?

"So what if it's a short drama? We must treat every single production with utmost seriousness!"

Facing Director Jiang's obvious bias toward Su Xingwan, Wang...

A distinctive feature of the trading center was that all opals were evaluated for quality on the spot! The quality of this batch of opals from Barker was quite decent. In the end, Armand offered them a price of 1.4 million.

"Is that you, Lord Lustful?" Hui was the first in the distance to recognize Lord Lustful, who was walking over from the remote horizon.

Zheng Penghai nodded to his master, and Wu Yang instructed his trusted aides to stand guard over them before turning in early himself.

After meting out punishment to Cheng咬金 (Cheng咬金), he proceeded to reward the estate guards who had reacted swiftly and fought bravely that day. He also affirmed the correctness and advantage of the sudden emergency drill held late at night, deciding to continue strengthening such training in the future. Following that, he analyzed and studied the potential military actions Li Jiancheng and his brothers might undertake in the near future.

Wang Ping'an wrote fluently on paper, outlining disaster relief personnel planning and specific matters. In truth, he was not entirely clear about disaster relief either; his knowledge stemmed entirely from what he had gathered in his past life through television, newspapers, and people's conversations. Even so, everything he thought of far surpassed what ancients like Du Ruhui could conceive, being much more comprehensive.

With that, Suo Zhou called a centurion over to his side and whispered instructions in this manner. The centurion cupped his fists, uttered a compliant "Understood," and then hurried down toward the base of the ramparts.

Hearing this, Li Sanniang remained silent. She merely let out a heavy sigh, then raised her head to gaze up at the night sky. She saw stars scattered like inlaid jewels twinkling incessantly, occasionally accompanied by thin drifting clouds that moved sluggishly like gauze.

He was originally responsible for intelligence operations in this area. Although he was somewhat surprised when his sect dispatched an extremely young youth to execute this assassination mission, he nonetheless cooperated and handed the intelligence over to Xiao Che.

The youth, who had still been wearing a listless expression, looked very strange upon hearing the old man—whose voice distinctly did not match his elderly appearance—speak. Turning his head toward the old man, he raised his left index finger and pointed it at his own head.

"Thanks to the Prince of Liang's blessings, I have plenty to eat and drink, and my bones are still sturdy," the other party replied with a smile, raising a hand to gesture him to take a seat.

Upon hearing Shang Yu's intention to purchase a courtyard, Cold Night mentioned that he happened to own a courtyard in the capital and offered to gift it to Shang Yu. Feeling that this might be inappropriate, Cold Night remarked that since this was the first city of the Xuanyuan Sword, a mere courtyard was nothing worth mentioning. He summoned a hidden guard and sent him ahead to return and clean the place up.

"If Ah Xiong cannot walk out of the shadow of that upheaval, it will ultimately remain a problem. Once he goes out to temper himself through trials and returns, perhaps he will view it more lightly?" Lady Zhuiyun slowly remarked.

In a severely wounded state, the Goddess of the Moon had eliminated the Wrathful Demon Lord and heavily battered the Lustful Demon Lord, but she had also exhausted her own vitality. She could only use the yet-to-be-completed Ever-Moon Realm as a prison to confine the Lustful Demon Lord.

"Wang Yong, you and your people put on quite a majestic display yesterday! Hmph, today our Sword-Master Pavilion has come to fulfill the appointment. If you want a fight or bloodshed, just bring it on!" Relying on Bao Tian as his backer, Deng Xianhe spoke loudly and with full confidence toward Wang Yong.

Feng Yuetong raised her head to look at him in confusion—if that was the case, how had he managed to arrive here in the first place?

Regarding this matter, he had originally intended to bring it up only if Xiao Qin took a fancy to him and was willing to be with him.

I took a deep breath, secretly telling myself that her mind was malfunctioning and her thoughts surely differed from those of a normal person. Besides, it was possible the Liu family had brainwashed her, making her care only about the Liu family... Therefore, I must not get angry or overthink things.

"Doesn't matter. We mermen are frequently hunted by humans anyway!" Barnat shrugged as he arrived right behind Rayne.

"Do you want to know the whereabouts of Xiao Guandao?" Yang Ren sideways glanced and looked up at Nangong Kuo, asking with a solemn expression. He knew very well in his heart that the two people before him must be in cahoots with Xiao Guandao.

"If you want to stay alive, cut the nonsense!" Qin Fan's figure suddenly flashed, landing right beside North. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he ruthlessly brought his foot down in a heavy stomp.

Then I patted my brothers, managing with great difficulty to wake all of them up. Each of them was still sleepy-eyed, clearly intending to sleep right here. A wave of depression washed over me; what kind of hoodlums were these? "Big brothers, can we hold out for a bit longer and take a taxi home to sleep, or what?" Their tossing me around had now partially sobered me up.

Even within this palace, Qin Fan could sense the presence of a special kind of energy, accompanied by a faint sense of pressure in the bottom of his heart. Clearly, it was generated by some supreme treasure.

Because doing business relied entirely on foot traffic, and the foot traffic at Yang Ren's stall was clearly insufficient—not only insufficient, but actually tending to drive people away.

At this moment, Nie Feng's face was filled with an excited smile. He could hardly wait to drag those gloomy Lizardmen out one by one, and then hurl them down from the building one by one to plunge to their deaths.

Although both were at the early Void Refining stage, the Void Refining stage was still the Void Refining stage, which could never be compared to the half-step Void Refining stage. This was also why no one dared to challenge the three seeded contestants at the Void Refining stage until now.

Seeing Mo Xingtian grow angry, these martial artists feared being caught in the crossfire and rapidly retreated, not daring to watch from close range. They could only observe from afar, with even Jiang Hao and Hua Wutian standing more than fifty meters away.

He bit into the word "you two" with such coldness and trembling, as if those two words were thorny spikes pricking and aching his tongue.

A dead genius, moreover an internal matter of the Sword Sect—what trouble could a dignified Third Elder possibly face? At most, he would be punished by the ancestors, but given his strength and contributions to the Sword Sect, it was utterly impossible for them to cripple or kill him.

"Heh, then let Big Brother give you a ride, and we'll go rest up ahead." Tang Yu Long was inclined to let Erniu witness his true strength. Thus, he circulated the secluded mental art, channeling his genuine Qi up to his chest and gathering it at the jade pendant. A moment later, a massive green halo enveloped Tang Yu Long's body.

At a highly inappropriate juncture, they made a blunder that would invite the most severe consequences. Of course, the enemy's blunders were nothing less than opportunities for them.

In short, Wei Yang went along with the mistake and deliberately put on a mysterious front, which forced Dagua to completely compromise, helplessly awaiting the best timing to act as a thief.

Er Mazi turned out to be right; after following the tracks across more than half of the wheat field, they actually ended up back at the exact same starting point within a radius of two or three meters.

"Send the injured brothers out." Shen Bainian pondered slightly and reached out to pat the squad leader on the shoulder.

Ye Wudao smiled without answering, then suddenly came to a halt and said, "Your home has arrived. If we walk any further, we'll actually be heading to my place. Though I wouldn't mind." Tiger Girl took a look, and sure enough, without realizing it, they had already reached her doorstep. The two guards standing at the door wore inexplicable expressions, as if they were holding back something.
