"Yuping! You're absolutely beautiful! My husband truly loves you! Really! Truly!" While saying this, Gao Liang intensified his movements. Zhang Yuping's eyes glistened with tears, her body trembling, her teeth clenched tightly, her hair slightly disheveled. "Husband! Ah! No!" Zhang Yuping regained consciousness, yet she was in pain, her brows furrowed, her face flushed. Gao Liang kissed the lovely woman, soothing her gently, saying, "My dear, believe me—I will always love you." Zhang Yuping nodded, her eyes glistening with tears. At this moment, the two of them deeply embraced and kissed each other. Gao Liang truly loved his wife, and he poured his entire heart into this embrace. They felt as if they were swimming effortlessly, perfectly matched, inseparable. "Hurry! Husband! My lower body! I love it so much!" Zhang Yuping looked slightly shy and charmingly delicate. Gao Liang was overwhelmed, launching into full attack. Both were striving toward the peak. As Zhang Yупing's hair continuously swayed with the intensity of her passion, her slender fingers tightly grasped at Gao Liang's shoulders, pressing firmly into his flesh. Whenever Gao Liang exerted himself, Zhang Yупing tightened her grip even more. "Husband! I'm dying! I'm really dying! I can't move! I can't move anymore!" After speaking, Zhang Yупing's face bloomed with bliss, radiant as a peach blossom. Meanwhile, Gao Liang roared loudly, "Wife! I'm here! Ah!" With the sound, a warm surge poured forth, deeply penetrating into Zhang Yупing's body. She was utterly enchanted by the full, unreserved essence Gao Liang poured into her. They clung tightly to each other, together entering the sacred realm. It was unclear how long it had been before Gao Liang awoke to find Zhang Yупing no longer by his side. Hm, where had his wife gone? Gao Liang felt quite tired. The passionate, vigorous embrace with his wife had left him somewhat drained. Old Jizhi is an exceptional man. Upon realizing he had abundant energy within himself, Gao Liang immediately began to quietly cultivate it, only to find that the energy neither transformed, accumulated, nor released. Didn't he practice energy absorption and transformation every day? Where had the water dragon balls, fire dragon balls, and energy dragon balls gone? Gao Liang proceeded to follow his usual steps for level-up cultivation, further refining the energy flow, trying to determine where it was actually residing. He performed a self-assessment, perspiring visibly. Where was it? Nothing at all! Had all these days of practice simply vanished without a trace? "Go to the Yue Guang Treasure Box space!" Gao Liang thought, and immediately called out in his mind: "Yue Guang Treasure Box! Yue Guang Treasure Box! I'm going to enter the Yue Guang Treasure Box space!" Yet, after calling repeatedly, there was no response at all. Why? Why? What about his previous abilities? The wind, fire, water, and electric elements—all simply vanished without a trace. I’ve become an ordinary person. I’m no longer a god. After years of hard work, I’d finally reached the early stage of godhood and was now advancing toward the intermediate stage, yet… my abilities have been sealed. Why? Oh! Ying'er said, "No, no, Master! Can't we do that? Didn't we have any issues with Zhang Yuping during the battle at Panlong Cave? We were fine then! I still don't understand." "Ying'er! Come out here! Master needs you to explain clearly!" Gao Liang called out to Ying'er for a long time, but all he received were echoes. Ying'er stepped away, and away she went, leaving Gao Liang deeply disheartened. He decided to visit Dong Jiao. He made his way to the Beijing City Airport, only to find Dong Jiao had already left. When he went to Beijing City Media University, Dong Jiao was nowhere to be seen. Huang called, "Deng—the fat pig, Yang—the awkward one, Wu—the soft one—listen closely now! Where exactly is Zhang Yuping?" Deng said, "Boss, we just found out that our sister-in-law visited Kyoto University and then left!" "Get moving! Hurry up and find out!" Under Huang's direction, the three friends sprang into action. Half an hour later, Yang called back, "Boss! We went to Professor Wu Yue's office. Zhang Yuping left a letter there! We haven't read the contents yet. When we asked the dean, she sighed and said, 'What a wonderful talent! She's going to the U.S.! Her biological parents have finally found her!'” "Oh? Then why did Zhang Yuping just vanish without a word?" Huang was puzzled. At that moment, he accidentally pulled out a pen from his pocket and noticed a piece of note paper lying on the floor. The handwriting was delicate—clearly written by Zhang Yuping—and read as follows: "Dear husband!" Thank you for having accompanied me—you are truly outstanding. Yet, I must regretfully say goodbye to Kyoto and head to the United States. Please forgive my sudden departure! In my heart, you will always remain my good husband! Yurping Highlight held the letter tightly in his hands, never releasing it. The conversation then turned to Dong Qiao. This up-and-coming actress has been exceptionally busy lately, as she is deeply immersed in filming "Dreaming of the Red Chamber," the nationally acclaimed drama that has generated tremendous buzz. After landing at the Kyoto airport, she was disappointed not to see Gao Liang waiting to greet her and promptly purchased a return ticket to her scenic outdoor filming location in Yangshan City. Given that the lead role in the drama is central, Dong Qiao's time is truly priceless. Director Gao, who had expected her to stay for three days, was completely surprised by her swift return—she had originally said she would need three days to visit Kyoto, yet she came back on the very same day. The crew erupted in cheers. As soon as Dong Jiao stepped off the plane and arrived at the exterior location, she immediately dove into the intense filming schedule. This episode featured passionate, high-drama scenes, and the director with a full beard required Dong Jiao to remove her outerwear to reveal her stunning bust. Yet Dong Jiao refused. Furious, the director shouted at her, "Do you still want to make a career in this industry? If not, then just walk away!" The director was nationally renowned, and Dong Jiao, who had recently been under significant pressure, responded with renewed energy, declaring, "I'm dropping out! You go find someone else!" She promptly left. But upon hearing this, the director's earlier firm words softened, and he gently reassured Dong Jiao, "Miss Dong, this is precisely a critical moment. How could I possibly find another actress now? What I said earlier was just out of frustration! Yes! Yes! I agree! I won't perform in this physical scene. If I must, then I'll bring in a stand-in. Is that satisfactory?" Dong Jiao finally nodded, but she noticed a photographer named Du staring at her with a rather awkward, uncomfortable gaze. Old Du had a bad reputation within the production team—he had ruined many up-and-coming actors. How did photographers gain such influence? This had to be explained by the nature of their work. Unlike photographers from outside studios, the on-set photographers could either capture an actor beautifully or make them look unattractive. Some actresses with naturally good features would find themselves treated poorly if they displeased the photographer, whose lens work would then turn disastrous. The director, focused solely on the final visual outcome, would always blame the actors. "One more take!" the director would insist. Yet no one had imagined that no matter how well the actors performed, if the photographer remained uncooperative, the resulting footage would be "tail shadows"—a term that meant the images were weak and lifeless. Naturally, the director would reject such shots. After receiving such criticism, the photographer would then, with a flirty, insinuating glance, comment to the actors, "How about that? Didn't you perform well?" It's actually not a big deal—just as long as we get along well, I can make your camera work! By the way, I've brought out a whole stack of actor photos, even some stunning shots of rising actresses—all of whom I've worked with. This is the unspoken rule, understand? To become famous, you must follow it. Du has been putting a lot of effort into Dong Jiao lately. Man, this woman is so beautiful and refined—now I really have to make a move. Ha ha! Since the investor, Gao Liang, isn't here, and the director reports directly to the investors, Du can't really make major changes to Dong Jiao. After all, Gao Liang already gave the big-bearded director a heads-up. The director's outburst just now was really just a show of frustration. The director has to earn his money, and with today's fierce competition in TV dramas, even playing supporting roles is now a necessity. If a drama doesn't include these kinds of scenes, today's viewers would have long since tuned out. Especially for the rising star Dong Jiao, her alluring figure—combined with a few well-chosen physical scenes—would naturally sell well, ensuring a solid profit for the film. Yet Dong Jiao doesn't particularly enjoy this approach. After all, the most sensitive parts of her body are meant only for her beloved partner, not for the general public. Dong Jiao remains chaste and pure—a rare trait among young female leading actresses in the top-tier Chinese film industry.
