Chapter 38
Tu Qingqing compiled the human language she had summarized over the past few days into a dictionary, using a Chinese dictionary as a template. She then transmitted the entire collection to Jiang Chengyu via divine sense. Before ending the transmission, she did not forget to offer a promise: she would head home during her next time off. As a young person, she wasn't afraid of the fatigue of travel, and she insisted that her parents need not come to find her.
He was rarely this serious, speaking to Su Jiayi without a hint of a smile. The latter felt a hollow panic, her eyes darting away; unable to utter a single word for the longest time, she could only remain silent. When Su Jiayi woke up again, she found herself in a place filled with the faint scent of disinfectant, with an IV drip hanging by her bedside.
"General Zhang! I leave the protection of Magistrate Song to you. If any misfortune befalls this upright and incorruptible official, the Prince will lose a capable subordinate, the Great Xia will lose a virtuous and talented minister, and the common people will lose a good official who speaks for their needs."
What puzzled him even more was that, looking around, he could not see a single strange creature anywhere, though there were plenty of people. She really began to doubt life itself; she used to only eat until half-full, but now, it seemed she was going to be stuffed to death. He felt that only when it came to Shen Yunshu—someone Ji Huainan loved so deeply—would Ji Huainan go to such great lengths.
Seeing Hongjun merely walk up to Hu Yu and stroke him twice briefly, without employing any heaven-defying healing techniques, the crowd felt a strange sense of relief, and their faith in his medical prowess only deepened. Zhang Guizhi knew that this wretch Hu Zhaodi seemed incapable of speech now, looked a bit foolish, and did not even resist when she was struck.
Thinking of the chests of fine silks and jewelry from her past life, her heart gave an involuntary twitch. In this lifetime, she would never again lead a life of decadent dissipation. When Huo Tong’s carriage arrived at the Mu family gate, Mu Feng had already been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing the blood-stained carriage, his heart skipped a beat, and he rushed forward in a single bound to lift the curtain.
Baili Aoyun frowned and stroked Han Ning’s long hair. Although he never voiced it, he knew what Han Ning was worried about, yet he couldn’t bear to ask. That day, she had anxiously spoken of healing her legs and wanting a baby, but in the days since, she had remained completely silent on the matter. In her view, marriage was merely giving up an entire forest for the sake of a single tree. However, the tree she had found did not grow on a flat plain, but on the edge of a cliff.
As soon as the words left his mouth, the Dragon-Devouring Demon moved. Like a blade just drawn from its scabbard, he lunged directly toward Lu Ming, determined this time to strike him down. After a long journey, it took Lu Ming and Palina nearly the better part of a day to return to Tianquan Island.
"You..." Dong Shaoyan trembled with rage, yet he dared not disobey. Fearing that trouble might be blamed on him, he ordered others to keep watch while he bolted back to bring reinforcements. However, it wasn't until Ye Huang entered the room that she realized, although not strictly forbidden, the Duchess still held certain taboos; she had placed a four-paneled screen in the room to avoid any "clash" of appearances.
Seeing that the seventeen-year-old Thousand-Eyed Elder intended to deal with Xie Chen, Bing Xinlan and the others were filled with anxiety and stood before Xie Chen, wanting to protect him. "Brother Lu Ming, what is wrong? Is something weighing on your mind?" Lin Ruyan tilted her head, looking at him with a smile, and asked with great surprise.
The God-Man tribe, having been severely beaten by both sides, now lacked the strength to fight but could not extricate themselves, forced to wage war against Olive City and the human race simultaneously. Chen Yun glared at me as if she wanted to skin me alive, saying that Professor Yang was discussing matters with government officials at the county office and told me to wait, as he would arrive shortly. Yet she knew full well that if she were to do so, Nelson would likely be the first to shoot her the moment they reached the base. "We are members of the Dragon Fire Mercenary Group, and we have accepted Seber's mission to escort him to the City of Light," Singer said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
[Team] Ru Hua Digs Nose: My goodness, I can't even imagine what our soft, sweet, and pure-hearted leader would be like. "Master, Shivana’s condition is not good; there is not much time left for us," Isis reported to Nan Mu. E finally remembered that he had to decide on an Intercontinental Championship challenger before WrestleMania 30, otherwise, Big E would have no opponent.
Although the water was icy, for Jiu'er, who hadn't washed her feet in a long time, it was a treat regardless. Charles’s forehead throbbed with veins, and a surge of anger welled up within him. Looking at this son he had once spoiled beyond measure, he now wished he could strike him down with his cane, just to be rid of the sight of him. Baili Yan had never imagined that Jiu'er was hiding such a significant identity; but since it was now public, he didn't mind adding another one for her.
"Do not move in a moment, just relax!" Xia Haoran said. Before Professor Gao could understand what was happening, he saw dozens of needles as fine as ox hair appear in the young man's hand—exactly like the ones previously used on Chen Ailian. But what surprised him most at this moment was that a breath of energy was rapidly merging with the spiritual power in his eyes. This energy was many times more robust than the spiritual power he had absorbed from the cricket gourd or the huanghuali chairs.
