Next Chapter Delayed, Also...

Sorry, the next chapter will be updated by tomorrow afternoon.

Mainly because there was a major plot development between the end of the auction and the formal Palace Examination. I spent a long time thinking about it today, which cut into my writing time.

I started thinking about it during my afternoon nap and ended up not sleeping well.

Also,

There are still twenty days until the Ancient Hua Kingdom's Palace Examination "college entrance exam." Lao Huo begged Fang Yun, the exam overlord, for a little Literary Qi, and Fang Yun generously opened the power of Strange Book World. Anyone who reads this book will surely receive Literary Qi and Strange Book World's blessing, taking their grades one step further!

After the college entrance exam, life truly begins!

Lao Huo wishes to join hands with all you readers, forge ahead together, and brave the Imperial Examination of life!
