Volume 1, Chapter 26: A Disgusting Mother and Daughter

Many people love to pontificate. That would be fine, but the most dangerous thing is teaching others how to succeed as if one were already a success oneself.

When Wang Biao hit the bluestone floor with a thud, the crowd finally came to their senses, casting strange looks at Li Zhong. Aunt Huang’s gaze was particularly intense, her eyes lingering repeatedly on Li Zhong’s broad chest.

The house was well-furnished, lacking only a few trifles that could be picked up during a morning trip to the supermarket.

Upon hearing this, Leng Qianqian widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief, her gaze fixed on Li Shangshan with a complex mix of suspicion, surprise, and inquiry.

Ye Zihan instinctively glanced at Feng Wuyou’s chest. If not for her desire to avoid offending him, she probably would have reached out and grabbed it.

"What do we do now? This guy is so powerful; there’s no way we are his match," a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect asked.

"Absolutely not!" Huo Ting’s words instantly tossed all those beautiful bubbles straight into the trash.

When Liang Shan heard this disciplinary action, even with his usual composure, he was bewildered, unable to fathom what Li Yunhui was really up to.

Ever since Liu Xue became pregnant, Mother had made a habit of coming over to help prepare their three daily meals.

Huo Yibei had just finished washing up and was preparing to call Lu Yuan, ordering him to have someone keep a close watch on Jian Xiangsi until evidence was found, at which point she would be turned over to the police.

"Hmph, that is exactly the terrifying thing about that scoundrel Zhang Juzheng. He does this merely to make the Magistrate recall their past friendship, so that the Magistrate cannot deal with him wholeheartedly!" Tai Fang snorted twice.

The most common method for dispelling toxic gu poison is to swallow a concoction of realgar, garlic, and calamus in boiling water to purge the evil toxins. The golden silkworm gu fears nothing more than the hedgehog—a creature with a mouse-like head and mouth, and bristles like porcupine quills—so hedgehog meat is a specialized remedy for golden silkworm gu. Others, like centipedes and earthworms, can also often be used to treat gu.

"Has Imperial Physician Jiang heard about Lady Wang’s recent illness?" Recalling Lady Wang’s pale complexion that day, she couldn't help but feel a shiver of dread in her heart.

But at this moment, she truly couldn't cheer up. Although the embroidery was poorly done, it was something she had painstakingly crafted over many days; it could have served as a memento or evidence of her existence in this era. Thinking of how Leng Yanxi had casually tossed it into the fire, her mood plummeted.

"What’s going on? Whose blood is this?" Guo Lin pulled Bai Bing close and, scanning their companions to ensure everyone was accounted for, asked.

However, what Song Daokou did not know was that this question about his mother was also an indelible pain in Mo Qingyan’s heart.

"Spare me the nonsense; today is the day you die!" An Kun declared. With a wave of his hand, he gripped a Dragon-Slaying Spear. The spear vibrated gently, manifesting countless golden points of light, and a thick layer of golden armor slowly enveloped his entire body.

She was truly enraged. With a fierce glare, before the two men could react in shock, she aimed for the base of the thumb on that hand and bit down with all her might. A salty, warm, and fishy taste instantly filled her mouth.

After an unknown amount of time, the vehicle finally stopped. They were surrounded by mountains on all sides in a very secluded location, much like deep, ancient forests, with a waterfall nearby.

Looking up at the spaceship disappearing into the clouds, Lin Shao leaped up suddenly. The red mist that hadn't been fully absorbed followed him like a tail, surging high into the sky together.

Oh no, there was no way to smooth this over. Seeing that she was determined to see him off, Buse felt a massive headache coming on. From the start, he had only focused on finding excuses to persuade Xiao Keke, never expecting her to insist on escorting him back to the mountain. Seeing her resolve, he wished he could slap himself.

However, Ma Wenwen grew increasingly worried about their safety in Dongyang. She had assumed that in such a developed country, security at night would be excellent; now, she realized she had been overthinking.

"Team Leader Luo, why aren't you observing inside? Why run out here?" Gao Zeran shouted.

After staying in Eternal Night City for a few days, Wuji and his group prepared to return. Their visit was meant to be a reunion with friends and family to unwind. With the upcoming Cultivation Grand Assembly, it was time to return and improve their cultivation levels. Although they couldn't reach the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul before the assembly, any extra strength would be beneficial.

"Clang!" With a crisp metallic sound, the sharp sword in Yu Jing’s hand came to an abrupt halt under the pressure of a mountain-like force.

Zhang Ming’s friend naturally didn't know who Ye Qiu was, but having heard from Zhou Peng that Ye Qiu possessed formidable medical skills and—despite his youth—had earned a great deal of money treating the wealthy, he was interested in buying a luxury mansion.

"Please remove your glasses, Lieutenant Colonel Ligner!" Masuari wore a look of smug triumph.

As Qi Yun swung his sword, yin and yang shifted, and light and shadow alternated; within a single strike, it seemed as if all the mysteries of the birth and destruction of the universe were contained. Qi Yun’s swordsmanship began to grow increasingly sophisticated.

Reflecting on the time he had known Cao Cao, although they hadn't seen much of each other in the last two years, their friendship was still quite deep.

By now, both Leo and Yves understood clearly that Jiang Miao’s choice of the Mittel family was not because of their excellence, but purely out of respect for Ya Fei.

Seeing the chests of Liu Baiye and Liu Yafei heaving rapidly, he knew they were filled with suppressed fury, waiting only for a spark.

Every time, Lei Jiuxiao caught him off guard. In all these years, this was the first time he had encountered someone he could not control.

This person belonged to the protagonist’s faction. The protagonist was one of the sponsors of this base; after the second wave of zombie evolution, he would relocate to the base that truly belonged to him.

"Very well, since you want an explanation, I shall give you one." Moya waved his large hand, and nearly a hundred skeletal source-soldiers appeared on the ground. The powerful, surging source energy converged, and the ferocious aura that erupted left everyone present in terror.

Hu Jia’s gaze sharpened; from Jiang Miao’s casual tone, she sensed an undisguised contempt.

Helpless, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn back. As he glanced up, he caught a glimpse of half of Liu Baiye’s buttocks.

With just a word from her, Jiang Yichen might actually ban her from the entire industry just to keep her happy.

The military overseers sent by the imperial court knew nothing of marching or warfare, yet they issued reckless commands and interfered at every turn.
