Volume 1, Chapter 42: Husband, I Have Come
"That's not right. What is the shed in the back for?"
Wang Changsheng looked toward the back in confusion and walked over quickly.
As he got closer, he heard rustling sounds coming from inside the shed, along with what sounded like the whinnying of a horse.
Even more bizarrely, this shed was built much sturdier than the others. It was supported entirely by round wooden pillars, one right after another, and covered a large area.
However, the shed was sealed up completely.
Standing outside, Wang Changsheng could not see what was going on inside at all.
Wang Changsheng was extremely anxious.
His servant reminded him, "Master, why don't you climb a tree to take a look?"
Wang Changsheng looked at the large tree outside the courtyard. In his anxiety, it hadn't even occurred to him to have the servant check; he used all his strength and climbed up...
So that was it. That mother insect could transmit its mental waves over, and could also monitor his movements through those lesser insects.
Even now, Mo Yufei had no mood to chat and communicate with the Li He system; he felt that he had to shoulder a great many things.
Although the Wuhuan Sect Master seemed to be barely holding things together on the surface, it wasn't to the point of being overly pathetic.
"Screw it, I'll just charge in and give it a try." Embracing the mindset of treating a dead horse as if it were still alive, Ye Juntian went back to work.
His uncle's release from prison was being processed, and for Lan Zhan, the final procedure remained. Inviting him to a separate dinner was essential.
Zheng Tianhua said there was a method. It was rumored that to break the spell of the soul-confusing grass, one only needed to ingest the seeds growing on top of it. However, no one had ever seen this soul-confusing grass, let alone knew what it looked like, so ingesting its seeds was out of the question.
Then, Chan Tianlong's face flushed red as he flew backwards out of the air, panting slightly. That was the external manifestation of his cultivation being on the verge of exhaustion.
With food supplies now at the docks, and with all the saboteurs either arrested or executed, public morale had stabilized. Yesterday afternoon, two flat-bottomed trading vessels had already taken one thousand men to report to the Northern Zhili road-construction team.
"Bang!" Before Mo Feng could even agree, Liu Huanxue staggered and collapsed limply into a chair. Before she could slide further down to the floor, Mo Feng took a stride forward and caught her by the waist.
Liu Xuan was still confined in the Shuntian Prefecture prison, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that without solid evidence, Liu Xuan would soon be released.
I remember when I was in high school, there was a boy in our class who was obsessed with checking himself out in the mirror. He was quite short, and his desk was two rows in front of mine on the aisle side, so during class, I happened to have a view of his rear-diagonal side. It was during one of these classes that my deskmate discovered his habit of mirror-gazing.
"To think that after crossing over, we're going to be parents all over again." Li's eldest brother wrapped one arm around Han Nuo while gently stroking her belly with the other.
Bai Shisan had always assumed that the Prince of Anyuan was responsible for the death of Ye Shiwu a few days ago, but now, her conviction was beginning to waver.
The outcome was completely unexpected. Tang Mo, who had already grown into a young teenager, accepted the news without any difficulty and was even exceptionally happy, eagerly looking forward to the arrival of his younger siblings.
If he could defeat Wu Sheng, then even if he wasn't ranked among the world's top martial artists, he would certainly be considered among the absolute elite domestically.
Han Nuo opened it up to take a look. Inside were nothing but flat peaches—nine-thousand-year, six-thousand-year, and three-thousand-year varieties were all present, and the quantity was staggering.
Although she hadn't heard all of Ling Wuji's inner thoughts just now, she could sense that she was longing for her beloved.
Granger wanted to scold them a bit more in annoyance, but the students were already growing restless and starting to stir.
Forget it, forget it. Since it was already done, there was no use regretting it. She would just treat it as a way to vent and have a carefree moment for once.
The male protagonists galloping their horses across the grassland—passionate and heroic—how could anyone fail to have their heart flutter at the sight?
Liu Qi was inwardly astonished, never expecting that Lei Ting walked the path of the ultimate integration of soul and physical body. No wonder his soul fluctuations could not be detected when he was at the Thunder Envoy realm—it was because his soul had never separated at all.
"Don't touch me, I'm filthy." Jiang Qiyin pulled back her arm and walked into the venue alone.
Its eyes were tightly closed, as if it were merely sitting amidst the clouds, while countless auspicious vapors vied with one another to twine around it.
In truth, the repair of the giant python's wounds was primarily thanks to the broken sword, with the medicinal pills serving merely as an auxiliary aid.
She hadn't had a chance to look closely earlier, but now as she turned her head for a careful examination, the speaker appeared young but was exceptionally burly. She even had to tilt her head up slightly to look at him.
The guard chased away a few onlookers and returned. Lowering her head, she immediately resumed devouring her food in large bites.
As for the remaining skill points, they were evenly distributed among papermaking, brewing, soap-making, weaving, and printing, with each skill elevated to the intermediate level.
Zhang Qinchuan believed that if he presented this tea set as a gift, Director Han wouldn't necessarily grant him any special favors, but at the very least, he wouldn't press down prices too harshly.
The lyrics to this song were crafted by Li Tai only after much deliberation, resulting in verses that were accessible and easy to understand.
The commotion inside the private box also startled Zhou Keduan, Chang Siyuan, and Su Jingyun who were nearby.
All eyes fell upon the face of this new recruit. Clasping a few eggs that he had crushed into a pulp underfoot, standing amidst the sea of gazes, wanting to eat them yet unable to do so, he felt a mixture of shame, tension, and distress that slowly turned the rims of his eyes red.
Screams erupted everywhere, and the crowd roared at the top of their lungs, as if wishing their collective voice could shatter the entire stadium.
Yet to the ears of the two people, it sounded like a thunderclap. They had heard that voice far too many times; they didn't even need to turn around to identify its source.
Not long after Rebecca nodded and stepped outside, a middle-aged man wearing a black suit with a serene expression pushed open the door and walked in.
His steel-ripping claws plunged fiercely into the land turtle's shell. With a slight heave, he hoisted it up and tossed the prey right in front of Bolog.
Yet just as Xia Qi wanted to properly explain his philosophy, almost no one paid attention to him anymore; all eyes were fixed on Kayano Kaede and Koro-sensei. They were filled with questions regarding Kayano's earth-shattering transformation.
Wendy had a bit of a sweet tooth. Unlike some of the other members who had to watch their diet and avoid deep-fried foods, she and Kang Seulgi were the type who didn't need to worry about losing weight at all.
"I'm sorry, I could only find bamboo shoots and carrots just now. I'll go make the rest right away!" Before Xia Qi could even speak, Reisen had already noticed the issue in a panic.
Kachisia picked up a large chunk of blood-dripping meat, which still had the chewy wild boar skin attached to it. He resolved that the moment the Lord gave them permission to eat, he would immediately shove this carefully selected, prime cut of meat straight into his mouth.
If Changlesheng died, the Marquis would merely take a concubine to continue the family line, meaning he would never have a legitimate heir born of a primary wife for the rest of his life.
"..." Seeing that even Wupo remained silent, Su Jiyue truly felt as though her head were growing twice its size. How could things have become so sudden and catch her so off guard?
Hearing Yun Tianyu's vague voice, Jin Kui, being a smart man, knew that Yun Tianyu harbored secrets, so he didn't press further, quietly standing guard while the heavily bleeding Huawen healed her wounds.
"An escape route? What escape route?" Lin Ruoyan's expression was stern, her beautiful eyes fixed straight upon Shui Yinyue.
Tang Hongdou's face flushed red. Mimicking Guan Xu's gesture, she poked him on the head. Guan Xu truly never missed an opportunity to tease her! Yet ironically, despite being an experienced driver herself, she was utterly incapable of out-teasing him—who could blame her when his practical skills far surpassed her own?
