Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.

Heavenly King, Divine Path, Heavenly Shadow, how to fight in silence?
Regarding the Heavenly King Shentu Tianying's strategy, it was as follows: - Early stage: - When one was born in a border town, they should follow the main mission. The main mission had a lot of experience, ingots, and rewards, and it was compatible with the player's strength. This way, they could level up faster. - In terms of equipment, new players could go to the starting point tomb to kill wild monsters to grind for equipment. The difficulty of the wild monsters here was suitable for new players and the drop rate was high. - In terms of ingots and experience, the ingots dropped by wild monsters needed to be used to increase their level. The experience scrolls dropped by wild monsters could be used to obtain a large amount of experience to level up quickly. - Later stage: - Equipment Strengthening was helpful in increasing combat power. Each person had 10 pieces of equipment that could be strengthened, and the maximum level was 30. The first 10 levels of each piece of equipment were easier to upgrade (when there were enough materials), and the strengthening was more important when each piece of equipment reached level 10. - In terms of Shen Tu Tian Ying's Silent Yin Yang Realm Lord fighting style: - The goal was to obtain a certain amount of materials and head to the third continent to pass the relevant tribulation. The attack speed and silence needed to complete a specific mission before entering the tribulation. - Shentu Tianying's Silent Roulette can be used to attack the Yin Yang Realm Lord with just the movement of the mouse. The highest level of the Yin Yang Realm Lord is Level 9. After surviving the NPC Nine Heavens (Third Continent), you will receive +18000,+450,+27% damage reduction, and +100 level cap. - When attacking the NPCs that cannot explode in the lower right corner of the city, you need to wear the Poison Mask that can be found in the mine. This Poison Mask is used to limit the recovery of HP from the explosion. It is recommended to find a friend to fight with. - He mainly used the void as a control method to block a few waves of the enemy's high ground. He would wait for the void to rise before making a comeback.

Silence is the reason for choosing silence
A person might choose to remain silent for the following reasons: 1. ** Mental state ** - ** Happiness and comfort **: When a person feels happy and comfortable in front of others, they may be talkative and talk a lot of nonsense. On the other hand, if a person spoke less nonsense, they might not be happy, but they might also choose to remain silent. - Disappointment: When you are disappointed with someone or something, such as facing various situations and opinions, even if it is criticized and slandered, you are indifferent. It is not that you are not eloquent or unreasonable, but you are so disappointed that you don't want to talk. Silence becomes an expression. - [Understand your position in the other person's heart: When you know that you are insignificant in the other person's heart, you will choose to remain silent when you feel that there is no point in talking to someone who doesn't care about you.] - [Distrust: As your experience increases, you may no longer trust others easily. You can't speak your mind to anyone, so you choose to remain silent.] - ** Don't want to disappoint yourself **: If you get a neutral response when you confide in someone, in order to avoid disappointment, you will no longer express yourself and remain silent. 2. ** In terms of interpersonal relationships ** - ** Weakened in a relationship **: Words are insignificant in a relationship, and they have even been criticized for speaking out. They will choose to remain silent in order to protect themselves. - ** Disdain to care **: After experiencing many things, I feel that some things are not worth arguing about. In order to gain peace, I no longer care about them and remain silent. - [Disdain to Explain]: Sometimes, the more you explain, the less trust you get. For those who deliberately doubt you, you don't need to explain. Just wait for the right time. 3. ** In terms of personal growth and accomplishment ** - [Too much stress in life: As I grow older, I have to take on many roles in my life. The pressure increases. I feel that talking will only increase my troubles and I can't express it. Therefore, I choose to recover in silence.] - [Appearance of accomplishment and maturity: Knowing that there are some things you shouldn't say and some things you shouldn't say. Silence is a form of respect for others and also an expression of accomplishment and maturity.] 4. ** Mental defense mechanism ** - ** Silence Effect **: When some people were young, their needs were not responded to. When they said their needs, they were criticized instead, forming a vicious cycle. When they grew up, they might become silent because of this self-protection and self-digestion consciousness. They had something to say but did not know how to say it. " The Silent Eyewitness " novel is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
