From that point on, work stopped feeling like a challenge and started feeling like a beatdown. In her next 1:1, Rachel didn’t waste time. “You need to be doing more,” she said. Risa nodded, because that seemed to be the correct response to everything now. “You’re not really doing two people’s jobs,” Rachel continued. “Evelyn and Sophia both handle more than you.” Risa kept her face neutral. “Well,” Rachel added, “they each have ten distributors. You only have four.” Risa…-

Risa went home that night feeling hollow in a very specific way. The kind of hollow where you’re not crying, not angry—just quietly exhausted, like your soul had been placed on airplane mode. At dinner, she told her family what her manager had said. Her mom frowned. “Well… then you just have to work harder.” Her dad nodded. “If your manager thinks you’re not doing enough, do more.” Simple. Her brother chimed in, unhelpfully. “Yeah, that’s just the bare minimum.” Risa stared at…

"Huh?"Ning Shengsheng was dumbfounded by the question.What taste?Xue Chen's eyes slanted upwards slightly, his crimson thin lips let out a light scoff, and he crossed his arms and turned around.Leaving Ning Shengsheng with the dark back of his head.?Who upset him again?"Mo Xun, why are you colluding with demonic creatures? Who else is acting in collusion with you? If you confess now, I can plead with the Sect Leader to spare your life."Ling Hegui frowned, witnessing the Shadow Demon fly towards Mo Xun.It…-

Back at Yingke Peak.Songgao and Zaoni came out to welcome them.Zaoni was elated. "Your Highness, the spiritual energy in the Qingling Sect is so abundant! The Huan Li egg has three stars now.""Really?"Ning Shengsheng pushed the door open and headed straight for the bed.Spiritual energy from all directions drilled into the eggshell, slowly outlining patterns on the blue shell.The star patterns glowed with golden light.She happily picked up the spirit beast egg and cheered, "Great, our little Huan Li is…

Ling Jue Shangren spoke in a joking tone."In this old man's opinion, that Xue Chen isn't bad. His cultivation is approaching the Void Aperture realm, and his status isn't low either.""Why don't you help him seize Heavenly Phoenix and recruit him as a prince consort?""Sect Leader Ling, why have you suddenly become a matchmaker? It depends on whether An'an likes him or not."Ning Xuan looked lazy.Through the profound mirror, he looked thoughtfully at Xue Chen and Ning Shengsheng, who were walking side by…

Xue Chen: ?Ning Shengsheng scratched her head. What is her brother doing?Before the two could react, the force of Ning Xuan's palm bore down straight for Xue Chen's head. If he really got hit, his head would probably bloom like a flower.Ning Shengsheng didn't have time to think. She spread her arms, blocking in front of Xue Chen like a mother hen protecting her chick, shouting incessantly, "Brother, brother, brother, stop, stop, stop, stop!""An'an, move aside!" Ning Xuan's eyes were unkind as he stared…

Lu Youxin didn't know that the two people in front of him could not be compared to proper cultivators at all.Calling them "heretical cultivators" wouldn't be wrong either.Ning Shengsheng cultivated the long-lost soul technique, while Xue Chen had both demonic and spiritual energy coexisting in his body.Demonic energy could continuously convert into spiritual energy.Just like a perpetual motion machine."Many thanks to the Princess and Fellow Daoist Xue."Ling Hegui simply treated his wounds.He transferred…

Below the Qingling Sect lay Taoyuan Town.Taoyuan Town was comparable in scale to a city, housing the largest Myriad Treasures Pavilion and auction house in the north.Ning Shengsheng hadn't visited a trading place since she transmigrated. She felt like an elementary school student going on a spring field trip—eager and full of anticipation."Shall we set off?" she asked Xue Chen.Xue Chen nodded, glancing at her cheeks flushed with excitement. "Princess, did you tell His Majesty?""No." Ning Shengsheng shook…

The days spent escaping the summer heat at Qionglin Garden were simply too wonderful.So much so that Ning Shengsheng became a bit slack in her cultivation these past few days.When she was bored, she would go to the Cold Jade Hall to watch the novel gadgets Ning Xuan came up with.It was only at the moment she witnessed a high-grade magical artifact come out of the furnace that Ning Shengsheng realized—Her emperor brother was actually a weapon refiner!The magical artifacts Ning Xuan usually gave her, some…

"Of course. That is a magical artifact left behind by the last immortal elder of the Qingling Sect who ascended.""You tell me if it's powerful.""What's more, it has an artifact spirit."No wonder there was such a commotion below.Ling Jue Shangren continued: "If you encounter misfortune inside the secret realm, you can crush your jade token, and you will be immediately transported out. Everyone is from the same sect; stop before going too far, do not kill to the last man.""Alright.""Junior Brother Qingxue,…

The next day.Ning Shengsheng was woken up early in the morning by Songgao."Princess, His Majesty says we depart in two hours.""Okay~"She yawned, still extremely sleepy, and let Songgao and Zaoni help her wash and dress.After changing, she ate steamed buns.Songgao was very detailed; she also sent the daily breakfast to Xue Chen, knowing the princess valued the hostage prince.Ning Shengsheng finished eating and went out.Xue Chen was already waiting in the courtyard.The young man's black hair was tied in a…

"Xue Chen of the Heavenly Phoenix Nation," he said, cupping his hands.Ling Jue Shangren tilted his head back in thought for a moment, then his brows twitched as realization dawned. "This old man remembers now. You're the fifth one. You've grown so big in the blink of an eye. Speaking of which, that old fogey Xue Yuanqi was blind until his death. Xue Heng was the least fit to be Crown Prince, yet he let that brat succeed the throne. Sigh..."These words were too blunt for Xue Chen to respond to. Ling Hegui,…

After staying at Yingke Peak for a night.Ning Shengsheng remembered the task Nangong Jinghong had entrusted to her.Without telling Ning Xuan or Xue Chen, she went out alone to find a Qingling Sect disciple and asked for the location of Broken Cloud Peak.The disciple looked at her with a strange expression when she asked about Broken Cloud Peak.Ning Shengsheng didn't understand at first.It wasn't until she stood at the foot of Broken Cloud Peak that she understood.The mountain peak in front of her was split…

Before Xue Chen could react.Ning Shengsheng was the first to grab his sleeve and run backward.Xue Chen raised an eyebrow. "When it comes to running for one's life, no one in the entire cultivation world can compare to Her Highness the Princess.""Hehe, I'll take that as a compliment!"Before transmigrating, Ning Shengsheng used to stay at home playing video games. She was no good at dueling, but she was an expert at saving her own skin.The person behind them was getting closer and closer.Before long.Ning…

Xue Chen, who was meditating in the courtyard, suddenly opened his eyes.Which nerve in his head had short-circuited?To actually ask that guy to act with him.Was it too late to regret it now?...The bright moon hung high, and the night mist filled the air.Just past midnight, the courtyard door was pushed open with a creak.Seeing that Ning Shengsheng wasn't wearing that incredibly ugly "night-prowling outfit," Xue Chen's heart, which had been in his throat, slowly settled back down."If you don't let me wear…

"Speak. What is going on?"Ning Xuan narrowed his eyes, his index finger tapping rhythmically on the table.After eating, they had returned to Yingke Peak.Ning Shengsheng was immediately summoned by Shuangxi."Older Brother, I don't understand what you're saying?"Ning Shengsheng shrugged her shoulders and spread her small hands, her expression the picture of innocence."Still being stubborn?""Others might not recognize it, but do you think I wouldn't recognize the storage pouch I gave you?" Ning Xuan leaned…
