Volume One, Chapter 58: Gu Qiuying's Fake Pregnancy

Even after two full years of nutritional supplements, the toll taken over decades could never be restored in such a short time.

Now, as long as she could find Dongqin’s family, obtain her address and contact information, everything would become much easier.

Since she didn’t interact with many people and still harbored some reservations about tomorrow’s blind date, perhaps having two sisters of similar age to help keep an eye out wouldn’t be a bad thing after all.

Sheng Gu noticed Shu Nuan sitting below, but this time, he finally had the confidence to be proud, and could calmly look down at her from above.

Just as he was about to call for help, he realized that none of the elders seated in the high seats showed the slightest sign of panic.

Chu Chenxi’s Adam’s apple bobbed again as he swallowed, his flushed cheeks breaking out in sweat, his entire body restlessly agitated.

To confirm that Tom wasn’t lying to him, he had no choice but to awaken Filch again to perform Legilimency.

The security guards, following orders, swarmed forward, dragged her down from the reception desk, and pinned her firmly to the polished floor.

The two attendants glanced at the pair before them. The man speaking was at the middle stage of Body Refinement, while the manager behind him was just an ordinary person, not possessing any cultivation at all. They couldn’t help but feel a little contempt in their hearts, yet maintained a polite tone.

This matter needed to be made known; handling it in secret changed its flavor. There had to be someone to speak out.

Although Shisui had not yet awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan at this moment, his mastery of illusion was unparalleled in the village, save perhaps for the inscrutable Fugaku Uchiha—no one else could compare.

Though he could not draw in much at a time, with the continual gathering over a long period, the air above the grassy ridge was already thick with spiritual energy.

The weather was bitterly cold, and outside Wuan City, all was tranquil. But the arrival of Wei Wuji and his companions shattered that peace.

Since it was a performance, there needed to be an audience. In the Wei-occupied regions, individuals of some renown and representatives of declining noble families had all been invited to the outskirts of Linzi City by the Wei army.

Ye Suiyun replied, “That’s because her grandfather, Lord Jia, entrusted her to me. But honestly, I’ve never even met Lord Jia. In hindsight, it must have been the favor of another friend—it's all very complicated, and not worth discussing.” He was certain his current predicament was inseparable from Li Fu.

Yet, since Hou Yu had made up his mind, Zhu Daqiang could only follow. People often assumed fat men to be clumsy and foolish, but that was a misconception; most fat men in this world were actually quite shrewd, especially those like Zhu Daqiang, who had the cunning of a seasoned strategist.

Qingming was a god, but compared to the King of Gods, he was still far inferior. And this was only the pressure of his presence—should the Sect Master of the Sacred Gate strike, Qingming would surely perish within three moves.

Linghu Shang said nothing. In a flash of cold light, a long sword appeared in his hand, and he launched a surprise attack on Ye Suiyun.

“What on earth do you want?” Qi Feng looked irritably at Guan Hu, who was gulping down beer after beer, and urged him impatiently.

The gray Porsche separated itself from the flow of mainstream traffic on the highway, growing more and more remote as it headed toward the villa.

“Even if that’s so, who could draw it? Among them, none could possibly have mastered the art of teleportation arrays,” Brother Ce said with absolute certainty.

As Emperor Di said so well: Talents always arise from the common folk; since ancient times, beauty has brought calamity; if you lack the power to match your ambition, don’t take on fragile tasks.

Mi Yan’s delicate cheeks flushed, and with one hand she brushed the hair from her face, quickly glanced at him, and stepped forward to pick up her phone.

Tuoba Xue remembered well how much Helian Jinyan had once loved her, his affection surpassing all others. Yet today, standing before the familiar gates of the Bone Capital, Helian Jinyan hadn’t even noticed her. How helpless and sorrowful that must be.

Just as Luo Zhixiang mentioned, after the controls on grain prices were lifted, the price of grain initially soared. But as more grain merchants began supplying the market, prices soon stabilized and then began to fall.

“So this is what it feels like to take a step back and see the sea and sky open before you? I really have been too stubborn,” Lu Yu mused, a sudden understanding dawning in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the one hundred and twenty-first point, yet the round platform remained utterly still.

Sensing his approach, Danmo felt her very soul trembling with excitement within her shell. Her already shimmering eyes flickered even more intensely, and her delicate body quivered slightly.

Wang Chen had originally planned to return to the Eight Treasures Pavilion, but changed his mind on the way and drove to the Wang family home instead. Wang Batian was napping, and Wang Chen didn’t disturb him. At that moment, a figure caught his attention—Shangguan Fengyun.

Ye Haochuan ignored him completely, speeding ahead while keeping a close watch on the situation behind him.

A murderous aura radiated even more fiercely from Qiu Shaoze, and the two in the car with Shang Mengqi couldn’t help but shiver as they sensed it.

“Even Liu Muye doesn’t know…” I sighed. Liang Xiaolin knew about the gold marrow, but she would never tell anyone from Jin Yuanxing. I wonder if she and her daughter are doing well on that distant planet.

“All these years, you’ve lived in vain. You haven’t even figured out the rules of survival among the zombies!” I sighed again, glancing outside—the sky was already growing dark.

“Enough, stop.” Though the emperor was young, he was still no match for Zhong Qing’s profound skill.

“Hahaha!” Lin Yun burst out laughing at the Crimson Evil Tiger. As he laughed, his power surged, and he tossed a Life Spirit Pill into his mouth.

Compared to the now out-of-control Ajue, Canglan remained calm and rational as ever.

“Red Alert System, why this mission? What does completing it mean for you?” Su He continued to question in his mind, unable to figure it out.
