Chapter 14: Monstrous Tentacles The system space was the same as last time: a pure white expanse with countless bookshelves behind it. The only difference was that the unfinished book on the table was gone, replaced by a glass of steaming water. This time, Wen Chu didn't lie趴 on the table but sat on the chair. He was a bit dazed, still replaying the sight of Xiu's worried eyes in the final second before he lost consciousness. It was the first time he had seen such a vivid emotion in Xiu's…-

After finishing the green algae, Wen Chu went to feed on the tip of Xiu's tongue again.

The merman curled up on the black reef, his upper body entwined by the translucent jellyfish, his divine face flushed with the red of desire. 【Lifespan…

The production team worked overtime, and finally, after a week, they had cut the pilot episode plus the first installment, just in time for a National Day broadcast. As soon as it aired, the viewership ratings hit a new high, and the bullet comments were dense. The show started with an introduction, followed by the production team staff surprising the guests at their homes with a phone. The five groups of guests were mixed and edited together, so in reality, each group didn't have much screen…-

The reason the "About Us" production team set up such a harsh environment for the guests was twofold. First, it was to allow the celebrities to deeply experience the lives of grassroots farmers and to show the audience the reality of rural life. Second, in an environment where financial means were lacking but the work was exceptionally hard every day, a person's abilities and sense of responsibility could be best demonstrated. The recording of the show was more than halfway through. The other guests had…

In February, the late winter chill was biting. Xiliu Village was perpetually shrouded in a thin mist during winter, with a constant, drizzling rain. He Shuba was walking home along a small path, carrying a fresh perch. Just as he reached the bare pear tree, the door creaked open, and a small, furry head poked out from behind the doorframe. Upon seeing him, Jiang Shi's large, dark eyes instantly lit up. His voice, like his mother's, had a slightly sticky quality between his lips and teeth. Even at…

Jiang Shi's clothes were dry, but he didn't get to eat the sweet potato. Covered in mud, he stood before Jiang Xue, holding his tooth, crying for the first time with snot and tears mixed together. "Mom! Cheng Ye gave me a blackened sweet potato to eat, and it knocked my tooth out." Jiang Xue had originally heard about the incident at the big banyan tree and was about to grab a wooden stick to catch Jiang Shi, but instead, three disheveled and crying children returned. As soon as Jiang Shi…

Most of the quilts used by children in the village were hand-me-downs from their parents. It was also rare for them to have their own separate rooms; most just had a bed placed in a back room used for storing miscellaneous items. Jiang Shi was different. He had his own independent room that belonged entirely to him. Everything in the room was his. It had the largest window in the house, which, when opened, revealed the path of the sun as it crawled by. Cheng Ye couldn't see the sun crawl by, nor…

The places where the children played were few and far between. Jiang Shi took Cheng Ye to the area under the big banyan tree. He had gnawed a gap in the pancake Jiang Xue had given him and only remembered to give it to Cheng Ye after walking for a few minutes. He took out the pancake and stuffed it into his arms. "My mom told me to give this to you. I saw everything at your door just now. Your dad was hitting you." Cheng Ye's hand, holding the pancake, paused. He turned to look at Jiang Shi. Jiang…

The next day, Jiang Shi woke up just as the sky was getting bright. He rolled over, got up, washed his face, and ran towards Cheng Ye's house, not forgetting to call Gao Xinhe on the way. The two of them arrived at Cheng Ye's door but didn't rush in. Instead, they crouched by the door and waited. The wooden house wasn't soundproof. They could hear Gao Lan making breakfast and the sound of Cheng Jianbin's grumpy voice as he got up. After a while, they heard the sound of footsteps. Someone ran to…
