Volume 1, Chapter 39: Preventing the Patient from Being Discharged

Although she was mischievous and sometimes quite a headache, the ability to live exactly as one pleased was truly enviable.

Beneath her mask, the corners of Jiang Li’s lips curled into an amused smile. In the Imperial Palace Academy, she seemed to have offended only one person.

Qu Guo had expected his son to completely crush Lan Mi, but the result was that his son was the one who ended up crushed. It was simply unacceptable.

The news from the following day was suppressed by the Han family, but it had already begun to circulate within the upper circles of A City, and even the Han Corporation was aware of it.

The germaphobe seemed to be a tapeworm in Lan Mi’s belly, immediately sensing her doubts: "The Divine Realm is not like a mortal plane. To return to the past of countless eons ago, you need a hundred Chief Gods to cast a spell to send you back. It is not as simple as completing a task."

He rushed back to the wooden cabin in a few strides, threw on his armor haphazardly, and leaped onto the warhorse outside the hut.

Now that someone had asked her, she replied casually, "I won't be going back there anymore. It wouldn't sell anyway." The latter part was added on a whim; it was true that she wouldn't return, but not because of the sales.

It appeared behind Vice Dean Lin, facing Cai Huazhe. As soon as Cai Huazhe sensed something amiss, he saw the creature's ugly, massive head.

Su Mo, who was responsible for gathering intelligence, recently discovered information in Linhai that pointed toward Hua Zifei. They planned to leave and head to Linhai to search for her.

"Pah!" Seeing that family made Lan Mi want to spit in their faces. They were disgusting. If she hadn't won the award this time, would they have even shown up?

"I am currently serving as a prefect here, perfectly well. You want me to go to the Emperor and surrender myself for punishment? Don't you think that is ridiculous?" He was finally somewhat annoyed and spoke to Lin Baoshu.

Feng Yang and Bai Yi were streaming with tears, covering their mouths tightly. This had already happened; they were powerless to stop it and could only watch it all unfold.

Having resolved the trouble with Qiu Lei, Liu Jingyao looked full of pride. It was obvious that a great weight had been lifted from his heart.

Looking at the Gu God they had created, then looking at the barren land for ten thousand miles, was all of this real? Was it really worth it?

"The Empress is real. I heard she once studied medicine under a divine doctor, so her medical skills are exceptional. It is said she even studied under the master of the Profound Medicine Valley," he hurriedly told the Empress.

She had already been helped up by the Old Madame, who chided, "You child, since you are pregnant, why didn't you say so earlier? You’ve been kneeling on the floor for so long. What if something had happened to you?" She then ordered a brocade stool to be brought for her to sit on.

Two thousand five hundred elite cavalrymen were armed—nine-tenths with horse lances or iron halberds, and a few with long spears. Their precious cavalry lances were stowed away.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how are you?" With the external threat gone, Gongsun Bian hurriedly checked on Liu Feng's condition.

Hong Chengchou had also pondered this matter, but it was hard for him to resolve to flee like a stray dog.

She wept softly while boiling water. She knew that the child in Ling Xi’s womb would likely not survive. But she hadn't expected it to happen so suddenly—so suddenly that it caught her off guard.

Although as a nurse she knew one shouldn't be a picky eater and often advised her patients against it at the hospital, she truly couldn't stand that strange taste. No matter how many times she tried, the result was always the same.

Muxiang accepted the two of them, explained the rules of the Hundred Herbs Hall, and led them to their living quarters—a large room with two rows of communal beds.

Given Wang Jiu’s personality, if someone said a few things that suited him, he might quite contentedly become their hired thug. But in the current situation, the Shen family had committed every conceivable evil, and yet they still wanted Wang Jiu to act as their muscle. On what grounds?

The first hand seal he formed was a Spirit-Clearing Talisman. After a cooling sensation entered Jiang Han’s body, he felt a sense of clarity in his heart, as if many tangled problems had suddenly been resolved.

The man in white always made Shen Ruoshi feel a vague sense of unease. The intuition of a centenarian told him that something earth-shattering was bound to happen around Wang Jiu.

This led those short-sighted members of the United States Congress to labor under the delusion that a great opportunity was right before them.

"Strictly speaking, you are only the second-best option. The best option, Zhao Jincheng, was taken away," Wang Jiu corrected.

Qian Nai excitedly grabbed Chestnut’s hand. She hadn't expected Chestnut to agree to join the retreat. Could it be...?

"Yes, I understand." Liu Ruyan immediately nodded obediently. Although she didn't know what a 'party' was or what they would do after forming one, she trusted her master and believed in everything Xie Yeyu did.

"..." Shen Ying was stunned. The 'omniscient perception' Wang Jiu described truly sounded like a fantasy.

Assassins operate at the risk of their lives, sometimes even to the point of death. The enemy had many experts; if they were all assassins, dealing with them would be exhausting.

Wei Changqin walked toward the main hall, crossed the threshold, and looked up to see the person waiting for him in the chair.

The authorities did not throw Gao Jinzhi into a POW camp or a dungeon, but chose to house him here under house arrest. They deployed guards inside and outside the courtyard and forbade him from leaving. Other captives did not receive such treatment.

Just as everyone was wondering when the killer would strike, a scream from Li Shuyu suddenly echoed from upstairs.

For demonic beasts, the Transformation Pill had always been a precious, unattainable treasure. They all dreamed of obtaining one.

Once the supply train had escorted the grain and provisions back to the camp outside the city, Zhao Junsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Xu of Kaiyang City learned that Wang Xuanmo had retreated from Pengcheng to Zhongli, so he led his army to occupy Pengcheng.

On his way here, he had been in contact with Lu Jinmo by phone, and Lu Jinmo had already briefed him on the general situation.

If she were divorced or separated and no longer Cai Shichang’s wife, then Cai Shichang’s misfortune would have nothing to do with her.

The Azure Dragon Hall Master used a giant snake to grapple with a ghost, but within three rounds, the snake was torn in two by an ancient spirit. In ancient times, there were many vicious insects and beasts, and dealing with such a snake was easy for them.

"How is the war outside? Where is Commander Zhao?" Seeing the miserable state of the scout before him, he already felt an ominous premonition.
