Volume 1, Chapter 60: Find Her Yourself
Working alongside Qin Xiangnan, Shen Qingran successfully snatched the old lady's life back from the jaws of death.
When they returned to the office, it was already noon.
Hao Youqian slumped directly into his chair.
"My goodness, are there really men like this in the world? Even when his wife is experiencing a difficult labor, he still makes her give birth at home, claiming the hospital is just trying to cheat them out of money."
"Look at it now, everything's ruined. The wife jumped from a building and fell into a coma, and the baby in her womb is gone."
Shen Qingran sighed. This was not the first time she had encountered such a situation.
It was just like that case where the in-laws refused to pay for painless childbirth, leading the pregnant woman to jump from the building.
In the end, the woman died, and after the hospital paid compensation, the man vanished completely, only to reappear a year later using...
Logging into QQ, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Lele’s avatar was actually lit up. You must know that ever since we broke up, I had never seen Lele online on QQ again.
The lightly whispered promises of the past still echoed in my ears, but I no longer had the strength to fulfill their contents.
This time, Qasim's reply was not as resolute and powerful as before; even his voice was trembling.
"Relax. With me here, everything will be fine. Slowly feel the rhythm of the horse's running. If you are this tense, the bouncing will hurt you," Gao Haotian said from behind, gently wrapping his arms around her.
Duan Chenyuan let out a sharp cry, her broken sword slamming fiercely into the ground. Instantly, massive walls of ice rose up one after another, acting like shields to block the path ahead.
"Senior, I am counting on you!" Mu Xifeng declared. Ceasing his assault on the Heavenly Gate, he extended his palms and pressed them against the Heaven-Refining Cauldron, while channeling the power of the Nine Punishments from within his body into the cauldron.
At first, Xu Hui didn't pay much attention to He Xiao's words, but as she listened, something felt a bit off. She glanced at Ji Siming, who was concentrating intently on the food in his plate, not even lifting his head. Xu Hui grew somewhat displeased. Wasn't this a blatant provocation?
When she opened her eyes again, they were clear and serene. "Why are you here?" she asked, sounding as though she were addressing an old friend she hadn't seen in a long time.
The terror was so deeply rooted that even after all these years, they still could not shake off the fright. The mere thought of continuing to oppose them filled their hearts with lingering palpitations.
Upon hearing this, Murong Wan immediately declared, "Hmph! If you want to make it up to me, I want his jade hairpin artifact. And you are forbidden from giving him a hard time!" She pointed first at Wang Lin and then at Han Ming.
Because she was afraid that if her information turned out to be wrong, not only would it fail to help them, but it would actually lead them further away from the truth. That was something she could absolutely not accept.
This time, Jian Yi seemed genuinely hurt by Yan Shishi. Otherwise, given Jian Yi's proud and stubborn nature, how could she possibly cry?
Still, Shen Xianxun held to the belief that arriving early and familiarizing himself with the surrounding environment would help him plan for the days ahead.
The carriage stopped right in front of the grand entrance. The door curtain was lifted from the inside, and a man dressed in sky-blue casual attire stepped out gracefully.
This sudden and drastic change in formation instantly caused Han Jiuxian's heart to skip a beat. All around him, green vines twisted and bound him, flashes of thunder struck down upon him, the majestic aura of the World-Ending Dragon Spirit shook the eight desolate realms, and silver lights shot forth, piercing viciously into his flesh.
"Ji Shulin, how would I know where Yan Shishi is?" She sat down leisurely on the sofa and poured herself a glass of red wine.
He had inquired about Ling Tianxing: the man had entered the Water Cloud Sect a mere decade or so ago. In such a short span of time, what kind of cultivation could he possibly have attained?
Wen Qixiao propped up his upper body with his hands, trapping Qiu Lin between his arms. A gentle smile appeared on his face as he softly said, "Jingyi, you're back!" The tone was as casual as if she had just stepped out for a brief errand and returned home.
Wang Yue and the others had no choice. Since Shen Xianxun, Nalan Chaoxi, and Nalan Yunxi went to deal with the walking corpses, this swarm of bugs was something only the few of them could face.
The pain had lessened somewhat after applying the medicinal wine last night, and by the time he woke up early in the morning, he couldn't feel any pain at all. Lao Lu's homemade medicine truly lived up to its reputation; it was top-quality stuff—whoever used it knew its worth.
How could Coral fail to comprehend her native water attribute, yet suddenly, across realms, comprehend the fire attribute which should have been impossible to master? Not only was Ji Meng baffled by the reason behind this, but even Coral herself could not explain it.
Since she wanted to discuss a private matter, as the person who entered last, she naturally closed the door behind her.
"Dad, Mom, would you like some fruit? There is a watermelon in the fridge." Zeng Bingbing opened the refrigerator and saw fresh fruit inside, with a note on the outside indicating it had been bought just today.
Seeing the Star Lord of Yaluo obediently hand over the chip, Baili decisively took it and quickly reviewed the data inside. "How is it?" Lei Dachui asked anxiously.
Those guardians couldn't be bothered to waste words. Various weapons and energies were unleashed simultaneously, determined to blast the enemy into ashes.
Lei Dachui didn't even bother to look, simply swinging his hammer to send both the men and the door flying away. Those people didn't even get a chance to show their faces.
"No way. Brother Zhao is an experienced family man; he will definitely wait until I go personally to pick the kids back up. If I don't go tonight, he'll just have sister-in-law coax Lirui to sleep," Huo Jingran said with particular shamelessness.
"Fan Yanyan, save me!" Ouyang Xueqi's urgent voice came through the other end of the phone.
Yang Lu felt this was only natural; borrowing a good test paper to study from wasn't a big deal anyway, but it reminded her to inadvertently flip through the test papers one more time.
In order to win over Coral, the seven major sects secretly launched a race to rescue her. The first to rush into the cave where Qiao Yin was imprisoned was Cui Zhi, the master of the Mount Hua Sect. Just as he joyfully cut the ropes binding Qiao Yin and before he even had time to help him up, Wu Sheng, master of the Divine Saber Sect, also arrived.
Guan Caiyuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Although Jiang Chao had not unleashed his flames and frost on a massive scale, he could still deeply feel the terrifying power contained within them.
Taking advantage of that split second, the figure beneath the bridal sedan once again fired dozens of profound iron nails, striking Li Pangzong's vital acupuncture points and causing him to collapse powerlessly to the ground, unable to get back up for a moment.
Doing this served two purposes: first, to let Lin Ke know the location of the Five Elements Sect, and second, to let him know what the Lin family would be expected to do if they truly became vassals of the sect.
Li Qing was terrified that once the CD was produced, the initial performance would fall short of what he and Liu Zhuohui had imagined, causing Liu Zhuohui and the others to cut off subsequent funding.
