Xiang Lei would reply that he already had someone special. His dorm mates were surprised because they hadn't noticed any signs of this. Compared to before, if Xiang Lei had a romantic interest, his demeanor should have been entirely different. But now, there was no visible excitement or resentment. People still loved to…-

Flight tickets can be rescheduled, hotel bookings can be canceled, but the romantic yacht night Guan Lan had meticulously arranged was a one-time opportunity that wouldn't wait. Originally, Guan Lan intended for Zhuang Lin to cancel the flight tickets. Neither of them had much free time, and suddenly dropping work to go abroad for fun seemed like a reckless move.

Amidst bustling markets and the clamor of carriages, they proceeded with composure, led by Ji Sinong and his household guards into a vast estate.

Caesar: "…Don't say something that pisses me off with such a nonchalant face, Margarita." Miguel: "Really? Thank you… Madam, I'll make sure to bully him properly." Caesar: "And don't you agree so readily either—I'll throw both of you overboard!" Margarita: "Actually, you can call me mother. I'm really happy to have gained a son out of the blue. Ah, an Easterner, how prestigious." Realizing he couldn't get a word in edgewise, Caesar finally understood how difficult it was for a normal…-

Heipi's mention of the time and location being undetermined was not without reason. These privately held cultural relic exchange meetings have a distinct "forbidden" nature. Lower-level events might be overlooked, but at the higher-level meetings, national first-class artifacts like the Simuwu Bronze Ding, the Beast-Head Agate Cup, and the Changxin Palace Lantern are commonplace. If the police were to catch wind of such events, half of the attendees would likely end up in prison. Therefore, the timing and…-

The hierarchy of Mages is clearly defined. Magic Apprentices perceive elements, Intermediate Mages manipulate elements, High Mages communicate with elements, and Archmages comprehend and utilize the laws of magic. The greatest advantage of a High Mage over an Intermediate Mage, as far as Lin Wei knew, was that communicating with elements was far easier than manipulating them. The consumption of mental energy was minimized, preventing the situation where a Mage would exhaust their mental energy after…-

Along the dark and rugged corridor, he walked forward. The black stone walls were slick with dampness, covered in a thin layer of frost. Patches of dark green moss grew between the cracks, glistening under the faint firelight from the lamp troughs, dripping tiny beads of dew. From every wall, from every crack in the stone, came the undulating sound of hymns and the continuous Mass: He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the…-

Ignoring the man's elaborate plans, the gong on the auction stage sounded, signaling the start of the auction. The auctioneer, a middle-aged scholar wearing a square cap, bowed around and began introducing the items for tonight's auction, starting with bulk goods. Indeed, the first item was a shipload of iron ore. He described its quality, weight, and starting bid price, followed by copper and tin ores. Sheng Changtian whispered, "Don't touch these.

That night, after Lin Ze returned home, he didn't do anything. Situ Ye went to bed first. Lin Ze waited for a while, asked Zheng Jie about his situation when he came back, chatted for a bit, and then went into the bedroom to sleep, sharing a blanket with Situ Ye. When he got under the covers, the electric blanket was on, making it very warm. Situ Ye lay flat on his back. As Lin Ze lay down, their bare ankles, exposed under their pajama pants, brushed against each other, creating a quiet sense of…-
