Volume 1, Chapter 147: Gu Qiuying Is Really Pregnant

Li Ruochu bit her lower lip slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, she slowly said, "Feng Yizhou, although I desperately want to know why my parents abandoned me and figure out my true identity, to you, is my background really that important?"

Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes revealed a trace of bewilderment and unease. She could not figure out whether Feng Yizhou's persistent help was driven by genuine affection or ulterior motives.

In fact, ever since she learned that she might be a daughter of the Long family, Li Ruochu had been burning to ask this very question.

Were Feng Yizhou's feelings for her truly about Li Ruochu herself, or merely because she might be the young lady of the Long family?

"I have already contacted them, but you still need to reach out as well. There shouldn't be any problem," Dongfang Bing continued.

"Is this the Spirit Gathering Pill? A single pill can restore the entire spiritual energy of any cultivator below the Heaven Realm? No wonder Grandfather always spoke of it as exceptionally precious. For cultivators, this is undoubtedly an extra life!" Ye Canxue muttered to herself.

"Ah!" Jiao'er let out a startled cry, shaken to the core. I quickly looked up, only to see the little girl somehow leap onto the back of a giant bear! At that moment, terrified out of her wits, she was clinging desperately to the bear's short fur.

The proprietress stood frozen for a long time before snapping back to her senses. She reached out and accepted the pills. With these elixirs, the strength of the organization would undoubtedly increase by several folds. Excitement surged within her heart; she had truly struck gold this time, and it seemed the resurgence of the organization was just around the corner.

The next day, Dai Yunni led all the disciples toward Lanting County. Since everyone had attained the Earth Realm cultivation level, instead of walking, they flew on swords to return to the academy sooner.

Fortunately, although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was turbulent, that dim cluster of five-colored light still seemed capable of effortlessly suppressing and containing it.

"I'm going to get up and wash up. Go check on the kids and see if they've kicked off their blankets!" Lele stretched lazily before saying to Liang Liang.

"Everyone, do not touch that grass in his hand. It is white datura, which is extremely poisonous." Yun Guo ran over to stop them from picking the plant. White datura was violently toxic; without protective gear such as gloves, even a Tier 1 player touching it would meet their demise nine times out of ten.

Tian Yi watched from the side, a growing sense of alarm gripping his heart. These blood spirit servants truly lived up to their reputation as humanoid weapons; when their bodies were completely destroyed, they would resort to self-detonation. Once this explosion went off, every living creature in the vicinity would be blown to pieces.

"We're leaving right now!" Feng Lihua waved her arms frantically, while Wu Haomin watched the spectacle with a gloating, crooked smile.

The crowd's pupils dilated in shock as they witnessed Long Yunfeng's bizarre transformation, genuinely terrified by the sight.

To their utter astonishment, Lan Feng was repelled several meters backward, his face etched with absolute terror, whereas Long Yunfeng remained standing in his original spot. No one had even caught a glimpse of when or how Long Yunfeng had made his move.

Guo Yi slapped his forehead in sudden realization. Apart from Hirota Gang's people, the only Japanese he knew were members of the Genyosha. There was no need to ask; this one was undoubtedly no exception.

The cooldown time for Whirlwind Slash was very short. As soon as the skill refreshed, Lu Lin immediately began spinning again.

Water surged like a streak of white silk, sweeping forward. Upon engagement, two streams of water possessing a life of their own—resembling giant serpents—lunged toward Nie Feng. Meanwhile, the two water shamans launched a pincer attack, extending their hands as if attempting to suppress Nie Feng right on the spot.

"Therefore, the match between Nie Feng of the Dark Sect and Ye Gucheng of the Tianquan Peak ends in a draw. The next duel may now commence!" Once Nie Feng and Ye Gucheng had sheathed their swords and returned to the ground, the elder loudly declared. The bronze tokens belonging to Nie Feng and Ye Gucheng remained securely affixed to the black stele.

"Are you implying that the people you 'experimented' on are merely the equivalent of puppets? That their lives exist solely for you to use as practice?" With a pair of eyes that suddenly grew as tranquil as stagnant water, Nie Feng quietly asked the old man.

A gloomy voice echoed, and the blood-red sword Qi instantly transformed into a sky full of resentful ghosts that lunged toward the Yama Emperor. The bizarre scene felt as though a bloody hell had been dragged into the mortal world, with bone-chilling killing intent and surging hatred rising alternately.

Liu Yunfei was also grateful that his opponent's momentum had not yet reached a deterrent level; otherwise, he could only stand there and take the beating passively.

The next moment, a squad of soldiers was dispatched to clear the battlefield! One had to know that the battlefield contained not only the corpses of comrades but also even more spoils of war, such as the inner cores of intermediate demonic beasts and special materials from their bodies. These were all war trophies and vital financial resources for replenishment.

As for his clone, the moment it collided with the wave of Qi emitted by Tiansheng, it had vanished into nothingness, leaving behind only a red dagger lying on the ground.

Zhuying had never seen his master act this way. In his mind, Yunci was always unflappable regardless of changes in the situation. He had only ever displayed such worry and helplessness twice: once when the Ming family came to make a scene at Hongyuan Courtyard and Chuxiu was believed to be missing, and the second time was today.

Chen Langya let out a sigh. Initially, he had been opposed to this matter, but unfortunately, he could not sway Yuan Fengxi.

Everyone's pupils contracted tightly before they even realized it, slitted like a cat's eyes. This was naturally caused by sheer shock, for the scene before their eyes far exceeded their imagination.

"One million?" Zuo Zhuang's eyes widened. Although it was not as much as he had anticipated, it was certainly no small sum. To harvest such a lucrative return on his very first venture—and knowing that the Green Snake Gang faction would never dare to report it to the police—meant they had been forced to swallow this bitter pill in silence. It was well worth it.

Now that the old master was asking, he firmly kept his mouth shut to avoid the old master waking up later and suspecting him of wanting a piece of the action. The second brother's family could not take away the title of nobility because the state laws were there! As for the shop, the third brother had his eyes on it, and he was more than happy to play ignorant. Since the old master was asking now, he decided to keep playing dumb.

Walking to the door of his office, Qin Feng saw the person he least wanted to see—his ex-wife, Su Fei. How on earth was she haunting this place and blocking his way? What on earth was this woman trying to achieve? That was the first thought that flashed through Qin Feng's mind.

Su Lee seemed to see a wonderful scene of bright red banknotes continuously falling from the sky and smashing down toward her.

Setting all the herbs aside, he collected the sap of the Azure Dragon Tree, fetched some leaves of the Purple Jade Reed, and placed them all together, ready for use.

In the mountain forest, although thorns were everywhere, the scenery was equally enchanting. Mountain flowers bloomed across the fields, vegetation exhaled fragrance, and at times, streams rippled while birds and apes called out. Here, the air itself carried a faint, refreshing fragrance; this was true nature, a pristine masterpiece of heaven and earth.

Just moments ago, however, Ye Qingtang had directly wiped out half a million coalition troops. If this matter were to leak out, it would likely stir up yet another wave of turmoil across the continent.

Huang Lie's words almost made me jump out of my skin. There were still ghosts coming after me? If all these ghosts here swarmed us together, I reckoned we would be finished for sure.

These fierce beasts and ferocious birds had cultivated various elemental techniques. Perhaps with their current cultivation levels, joining forces to crack the Nine Heavens Divine Chains might actually succeed.
