Volume 1, Chapter 25: Intimidation and Warning

Although her son had asked the question himself, she was still puzzled as to why he would bring it up, yet she tried her best to recall.

Chenxi said, "They are just accustomed to joking around; please don't mind them." She likely assumed I had jumped from the building because of my premarital pregnancy, which is why she had just been signaling them to drop the subject. How could I not have noticed while sitting right beside her?

Jing Yi left the sanitarium with reluctance. Fortunately, there was a bus route, so she took a bus to the city center, transferred once, and arrived at her school.

Qu Yiyi couldn't help but think that if he ever had the chance to visit her world, he might become a super football fan, and perhaps he would be so captivated by those thrilling matches that he would never want to return here.

Without any warning, Jing Yi leaned forward and tumbled into Shao Qian’s arms, who caught her instinctively.

Qin Xuan had grown up without ever meeting her maternal grandmother or her uncles. Her mother, Lady Lou, had spoken of them but had never returned to her maiden home for a visit. In these turbulent times, combined with poor transportation, it took half a day just to leave the village, let alone embark on a proper journey.

"Don't bother with this while you're idle; it's dangerous. Let me handle it," Baozi said, hurrying over.

Without even washing his face, he simply threw on a black robe and rushed over to pay his respects to Ziwei, hoping to see if she was well. Who would have thought that after waiting for over an hour, she would still be fast asleep?

When I threw the object, Jing Rong flicked his sleeve, and it seemed to make contact with the mirror. It dawned on me that while ghosts cannot be reflected in mirrors, they can interact with them if touched by someone like Jing Rong.

Just as she was about to give chase, the doors of the Imperial Medicine Gate opened, and Teng Ling and Que Ya ran out.

Fang Yue found it strange. The village of Manshui was clearly billowing with black smoke, a sign that something was gravely wrong, yet the guards at the village entrance remained perfectly composed.

However, after several attempts, Ye Xin discovered that it was impossible to forcibly break the sealing array.

Qu Dexue explained with a tremor, "Just now, we all saw Chen Zhan, who has been dead for five years."

Although the crafting of the magical treasure seemed simple, the final calcination stage lasted for half a day. It wasn't until the dawn of the next day that the mirror was finally complete.

"Trying to trip me? You deserve your misfortune," Chen Zhan sneered, curling his lip. "Sorry, I didn't see your foot slide under mine."

The two locked eyes. A chilling coldness lay at the bottom of Ye Ruotang’s gaze, as clear and piercing as a lake in midwinter.

Chun'er had not expected the leader of Tang Shan to be the young master. Since they hadn't seen each other in five years, how could they not drink? She frowned and looked at Tang Shan, "Hmph... afraid? Then drink a penalty cup."

The next day, Ye Xin led Jiang Moran, Ye Xuan, and the others into the "Trial Secret Realm" he had specifically carved out for the Jixia Academy.

"Then what traits do you think a husband should possess?" As the first candidate for her future husband, did he truly know how to take care of his significant other? And that meant more than just physical care; it meant caring for her feelings as well.

Ye Ruotang searched room by room. When Lu Min suddenly kicked open the door to the final room, he was met with an incredibly sultry sight.

"Don't worry! That will never happen! We will definitely come back to see you! When Zi Luo has truly awakened, we will take you with us to roam the world, okay?" Yi Ling pulled her into an embrace and said tenderly.

Such a monumental event was spoken of by Lin Jingyi with such indifference, as if he did not care at all.

"Heh, alright, Brother Dong, let me handle them in a moment!" Shi Jingtian gave an unnatural smile. He figured Dong Fei was thinking the same thing—at this moment, they could only rely on that earth-shattering giant beast.

War armor also included higher-tier varieties; some could even use profound energy to trigger powerful defensive measures, increasing their defensive capability several times over.

Ling Tianyun felt as though his body were burning. He felt his blood begin to heat up, then boil, becoming so scalding that he could barely control his own body.

"All troops, charge at full speed! The Han army is few in number. Kill them all and don't let the supplies get away!" Meng Huo brandished his blade, shouting amidst the ranks as he fiercely assaulted the roadblocks.

Su Xuan extended her hand naturally, and Mu Sanqian reached out to support her with equal naturalness, as if they had done so thousands of times before.

"If that’s the case, does it mean we can find the so-called Forbidden Land of the Dragon God if we sneak underground?" Gu Qingyan asked. Looking at the yellow mud on the ground, she found it hard to accept.

Having just arrived at the city gate, Liu Bei drew his two treasured swords, crossed them in the air, and roared in anger. Liu Bei had always cherished his reputation; this was his first time ordering the slaughter of a city. If he did not slaughter the city, he could not vent his fury, nor could he avenge his brother.

Han Ziqi stared intensely at Qianqiu. The latter simply kept her head down, quiet and without her usual sharp-tongued defiance, obediently saying nothing at all.

"..." The dazed expression she had worn, captivated by his beauty, suddenly froze. She hurriedly wiped her nose—it was indeed covered in blood! Then, Mu Xia clearly heard a nerve in her brain snap with a "pop."

He hadn't been given a single pleasant look since he returned, and he felt that Zhong Qing was deliberately messing with him. How could it be such a coincidence?

I have to say, this poisonous toad was the largest and most disgusting one I had ever seen.

I slept very poorly that night. I woke up from time to time, felt vaguely cold, and then drifted back to sleep. This went on repeatedly until dawn, when I felt a wave of warmth and finally fell into a deep sleep.
