Chapter 46: Not Biological

Fu Siqiao dragged her weary body back home. The moment she stepped into the entryway, she saw Lin Siqing already sitting on the living room sofa like a cold, stern statue. He sat ramrod straight, dressed in a set of dark gray loungewear. The fabric looked soft and comfortable, clinging to his broad shoulders and lean frame, yet it only served to emphasize the icy, unapproachable air he exuded. Fu Siqiao cast a faint glance at him, then acted as if she hadn't seen him at all.

Suddenly, a flicker crossed Chu Tian’s vision, and the old man in black appeared before him with a sinister smile on his face. Suppressing a wave of nausea, Chu Tian gripped his long blade and struck at the old man.

However, thinking of the tasks Han Bing would have to undertake and the perils she would face, he couldn't help but worry for the child.

It was for the best now; she finally knew the reason and could kick Jia Weiye to the curb for good. Fortunately, the two hadn't reached the point of no return, or Liu Yuxi would surely have lived to regret it.

"If, in addition to attempting to inherit the legacy of the Thunder Emperors three times, the Alliance Master also studies the insights of the past Thunder Emperors and attempts to master a god-level spirit skill derived from the legacy, wouldn't such conditions be enough for our Thunder Emperor lineage to join the Myriad Spirit Alliance with honor?" the Thunder Emperor asked, his expression solemn.

"Damn it." The middle-aged man’s figure suddenly vanished. When he reappeared, the spirit vortex behind him had opened. With his immense power, he bore down on Luo Hao instantly, his large hands looming like giant palm-leaf fans.

Zhao Qingya reached out to touch Lin Huan’s shoulder, but fearing she might cause him pain, her fair, delicate hand hesitated awkwardly in mid-air.

"This is possible? If I had his talent and fortune back in my day, why would I have ended up like this? This boy is like a dragon or a tiger upon reaching the Phenomenon Realm; perhaps I should consider taking him as a disciple?" old freak Jin muttered to himself.

But just at that moment, two consecutive warning retreat signals chimed out, one after another.

The constant consumption of starlight energy finally made Chu Tian feel a hint of exhaustion. By now, he was somewhat numb, and waves of soreness radiated through his arms.

Hearing him say this, Zhou Xiru and the others felt their hearts sink. Could something have happened to Chu Tian? Seeing Mu Zhongxin’s confident demeanor, it likely wasn't a lie.

Although the front desk staff at the Fu Corporation shooed her away, their eyes were clearly filled with mockery and impatience. One of them even picked up the desk phone to call the building’s cleaning crew.

Kicked, Zhang Han immediately snapped out of his stupor and instinctively glared at Wulianghatai in anger.

"Your Majesty, this servant is unskilled and cannot neutralize the poison afflicting the Empress Dowager. I deserve death!" Chen Ju performed the same actions and stock phrases upon entering the room, kneeling on the ground and refusing to rise, begging for forgiveness repeatedly.

However, the new style of large, soft-sailed ocean vessels were prohibitively expensive, required more crew, and were more complex to operate. Only a few wealthy merchants with deep-rooted connections to the Maritime Bureau could afford them. Ordinary merchants still had to rely on traditional hard-sailed ships, gambling their lives on the monsoons to set sail.

With Zhuying and Nanny Bian following, Nanny Xu couldn't play any tricks and soon brought over the red jade bracelet.

The Tiger Demon Fist, known for its fierce power; the Ape Fist, famed for its agility; the Flying Crane Technique, which mimicked the movements of a crane—all these originated from wild beasts.

Lu Tiantian lay against Xia Yao, listening to her exhausted voice. After a moment of hesitation, she awkwardly curled up beside her, though her watery, almond-shaped eyes remained fixed vigilantly on Lu Wan.

Doubts and anxieties flashed through Long Yu’s mind, but they were outweighed by his determination and resolve. He knew this was his challenge, his trial. He also understood clearly that only through his own efforts could he uncover the truth and find a way to resolve everything.

To this end, Dukaev—that forward-thinking fellow—had long since anticipated the fate of the Soviet Union and devised the shocking "Seed Project," along with the glorious achievements that would follow once the seeds bore fruit.
