The atmosphere in the hall was thick with tension—everyone had unspoken thoughts, and now all eyes were on the two people in the center to see what would happen next. Yuan Yuanyuan, however, ignored the crowd completely. Her full attention was on the man across from her. What she really wanted now was to dig…

The scent of the incense was unbearable for the exorcists—but to youkai, it was practically an aphrodisiac. It didn’t just smell good; it reeked of luxury. Amid this haze of rich aroma, Yuan Yuanyuan walked forward slowly. The overwhelming fragrance etched itself deeply into everyone’s memory. Out of everyone present, probably only the boss lady…

Yuan Yuanyuan strode toward the tavern in full red attire, looking bold and dominant. She called over a few youkai to wake up the ones who’d been knocked out. Apparently, the intruders hadn’t come to kill—they were more interested in humiliation. Several of the fainted youkai had bruised and swollen faces. They looked miserable. Yuan…

Yuan Yuanyuan, carrying her backpack, arrived at the tavern in the middle of the night. The lights had just been turned on. She glanced around, looking a little uneasy. “All right, I’ll go find you a room,” Xue-jie said, turning to look for Li Zi Jie. The moment Xue-jie left—barely ten seconds—Yuan Yuanyuan relaxed, her…

Fa Ning’s surprise had its own reason—the man in front of him… he recognized that face. He never would’ve expected… it was this guy. Why did Fa Ning recognize him so quickly? Well, everyone had read the comic. The man had left a strong impression—especially the conversation he once had with Yuan. Anyone who followed…

Yuan Yuanyuan was still blissfully unaware that her identity was hanging by a thread. She was chatting away with Tang Shi, the two of them thoroughly engrossed in conversation. On the other side, the more Gao Ling listened, the more her expression twisted, though she discreetly turned away so the other two wouldn’t notice. By…

Yuan Yuanyuan hadn’t recognized Gao Ling earlier because it was too dark upstairs, but now that she saw her face clearly downstairs—she remembered instantly. Oh my god, it was that girl! The moment she recognized her, Yuan Yuanyuan began to feel suspicious. She glanced around to check if there were any lipstick messages on the…
